Cycling was a sport so important in Italy that it marked a generation, sparked fears of civil war, changed the way Italian was spoken, led to legal reform and even prompted the Pope himself to praise a cyclist, by name, from his balcony in St Peter's in Rome. It was a sport so popular that it created the geography of Italy in the minds of her citizens, and some have said that it was cycling, not political change, that united Italy. The book moves chronologically from the first Giro d'Italia Italy's equivalent of the Tour de France in to the present day. The tragedies and triumphs of great riders such as Fausto Coppi and Gino Bartali appear alongside stories of the support riders, snow-bound mountains and the first and only woman to ride the whole Giro. Cycling's relationship with Italian history, politics and culture is always up front, with reference to fascism, the cold war and the effect of two world wars.

Momentos ciclistas Textos del blog Ciclismo de Verdad Textos del blog http://ciclismodeverdad.wordpress.com/ https://twitter.com/ciclismoverdad https://www.facebook.com/ciclismo.deverdad [CDV] El número 1 5 diciembre, 2013 No existe posible discusión. Hay que ser muy bueno para liderar el ranking UCI en el bienio demoledor del Sky. Joaquín Rodríguez lo ha logrado pese a no contar, ni de lejos, con el potencial deportivo y financiero de los ingleses. Pudo el año pasado, en puntos UCI, con un exuberante Wiggins, capaz de controlar la París Niza, Romandía, Dauphiné, Tour y la crono de las Olimpiadas. Eso son palabras mayores. El de Katusha se retorció en el Giro para terminar segundo tras arrinconar a Hesjedal y, en la Vuelta, sólo la última genialidad de Contador le descolocó a él y a su equipo. Por el camino, en cambio, sí cayeron la Flecha y Lombardía en un ejercicio sublime éste último. Esta temporada, Froome ha hecho de Wiggins en una repetición malsana de las fórmulas del gurú Tim Kerrison en el Sky. Y, de nuevo, Rodríguez ha vencido, en puntos UCI, claro, porque más allá es complicado. Sólo el error de cálculo de los Sky al final de año ha permitido a ‘Purito’ volver a reinar. No les funcionó a los hombres de negro la vuelta a la competición después del descanso del Tour. Froome y Porte se fueron a EE.UU para concentrarse, como habían hecho meses antes en el Teide, y competir en el USA Pro Challenge, en Canadá y preparar el Mundial y Lombardía. No alcanzaron su mejor nivel, lo que aprovechó el de Katusha para brillar en el Mundial, pese a la torpeza de Valverde, y en Lombardía. -

Questions about a Champion "If a misdeed arises in the search for truth, it is better to exhume it rather than conceal the truth." Saint Jerome. "When I wake up in the morning, I can look in the mirror and say: yes, I'm clean. It's up to you to prove that I am guilty." Lance Armstrong, Liberation, July 24,2001. "To deal with it, the teams must be clear on ethics. Someone crosses the line? He doesn't have the right to a second chance!" Lance Armstrong, L'Equipe, April 28, 2004. Between the World Road Champion encountered in a Norwegian night club, who sipped a beer, talked candidly, laughed easily and never let the conversation falter, and the cyclist with a stem, closed face, who fended off the July crowd, protected by a bodyguard or behind the smoked glass of the team bus, ten years had passed. July 1993. In the garden of an old-fashioned hotel near Grenoble, I interviewed Armstrong for three hours. It was the first professional season for this easygoing, slightly cowboyish, and very ambitious Texan. I left with a twenty-five-page interview, the chapter of a future book11 was writing about the Tour de France. I also took with me a real admiration for this young man, whom I thought had a promising future in cycling. Eight years later, in the spring of 2001, another interview. But the Tour of 1998 had changed things. Scandals and revelations were running rampant in cycling. Would my admiration stand the test? In August 1993, it was a happy, carefree, eloquent Armstrong, whom Pierre Ballester, met the evening after he won the World Championship in Oslo. -

Cyclist Subjectivity: Corporeal Management and the Inscription of Suffering
Brian Joseph Gilley: Cyclist subjectivity: Corporeal management and the inscription of suffering Cyclist subjectivity: Corporeal management and the inscription of suffering Brian Joseph Gilley University of Vermont, [email protected] ABSTRACT The body of the European road cyclist, gaunt faced and emaciated but with enormous muscled legs, is an indelible image. This image has been venerated and paro- died by film, literature and used in nationalist propaganda. The heroic persona of the cyclist who shapes their body to maximize strength-to-weight ratios further reinforces discourses of body management. Yet, the men who exhibit the superhuman strength to endure the requisite suffering are also docile bodies continually put through disciplinary regiments by their team directors, sponsors, the cycling industry and themselves. It is this contradiction between the veneration of individual suffering and cyclist as a form of subjectivity where we can investigate the ways in which the cycling industry naturalizes techniques of domination. KEYWORDS: cycling, subjectivity, the body, suffering, discipline Introduction The body culture of professional road cycling exemplifies the nexus of historical nuanced processes and the demands of modernity. Over the course of the development of road cycling as a professional sport, athletes have subjected themselves to not only the rigors of training but also to the rigors of national and social projects that seek to draw political meaning and economic reward from their physical movement. The modern cyclist is one that seeks to adhere to a body culture of technological profundity and systems of bodily discipline. Accordingly, the cycling subject is constructed along the corporeal axis of suffering and disciplinary regiments that bring the individual into line with the expecta- tions and discourses of the cycling body culture. -

Nineteen Eighty-Three
The Outer Line A Roadmap to Repair Pro Cycling http://www.theouterline.com Nineteen Eighty-Three Brian Cookson, president of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), has stated that its newly- minted Cycling Independent Reform Commission (CIRC) will look approximately fifteen years back in time, as it attempts to understand and address cycling’s modern doping dilemma. This time frame neatly coincides with the low points of the Lance Armstrong era, but the root causes go much deeper than one man. Fifteen years may help the UCI to pinpoint and investigate the sinister activities and possible collusion that occurred in cycling’s darkest days, but the CIRC must review about thirty years of history to truly understand and fix the corruption that has poisoned the sport, and to bring about lasting reform. The strange, totalitarian world envisioned by George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four might seem like pure fiction, but cycling embarked upon its own “Cold War” and dystopian journey in 1983 – a path largely dictated by two men. Both were highly respected sports scientists: one sparked systematic corruption in endurance sports to a degree never before seen, while the other would be largely exiled from the sporting world for speaking the truth. Late that year, an aging Italian cycling star was about to start the type of season thought to have long since passed him by. Francesco Moser was World Champion in 1977 and had won three straight Paris-Roubaix Classics, but after 1980, he could place no better than 8th in his beloved Giro d’Italia, despite having been a previous runner-up. -
Tony Rominger I Hanging up His Wheel After Building a Soli Palmares As Cycling's Bes All-Rounder of the 1990
With 12 seasons to his credit ttlfile Tony Rominger i hanging up his wheel after building a soli palmares as cycling's bes all-rounder of the 1990 Tour with the name 'M. Indurain (Spain)' on the start sheet. Of A all the riders who broke themselves on the Indurain rock, he was, without doubt, the best. Rominger is, to a great extent, Induralns mirror image. He's small and chatty where Big Mkj is statuesque and reserved. He seems comparatively footloose — born in Denmark of Swiss par- ents, resident in Monaco and riding for Swiss, Italian. French and Spanish teams during his career — whereas Indurain stuck closer) to his home area of Navarre and never left the team where he started raring as a pro. Where Indurain seemed content to follow the instructions of his mentors, Rominger actively sought a professional trainer — Michele Ferrari — and professional management in Mark McCormackS IMG. And where Indurain was the man of the sun, Rominger reserved some of his best rides for the kind of days whereyou wouldn't put a dog out of doors. The best example , was the 1992 Tour of Lombardy, which he won in a lengthy lone break in a freezing day-long downpour. Clearly there were also similarities: like Indurain — and like all champions forthat matter — Rominger built a family around hirr that comprised Ferrari, his agent, Marc Biver, his wife. Brigitte, hi: mechanic, Alejandro Torralbo, masseur, Mercelino Torrontegui, and his Clas team manager, Juan Fernandez. Like Indurain, Rominger matured late but reserved his best performances for hi: 30s.
