“Nibali E L'italia Del Tour”, Un Libro Dedicato Alla Grande Vittoria Del Campione Siciliano “Nibali e l’Italia del Tour”, un libro dedicato alla grande vittoria del campione siciliano “Nibali e l’Italia del Tour”, un libro dedicato alla grande vittoria del campione siciliano e alle storie degli altri grandi italiani “in giallo” In edicola con La Gazzetta dello Sport da sabato 2 agosto Milano, 28 luglio 2014 – Esattamente sedici anni dopo Pantani, la maglia gialla del Tour de France si tinge ancora una volta di azzurro grazie a Vincenzo Nibali e per celebrare la sua eccezionale vittoria, La Gazzetta dello Sport gli dedica un libro: “Nibali e l’Italia del Tour”. A firmarlo i giornalisti da La Gazzetta dello Sport Pier Bergonzi, Luca Gialanella, Claudio Gregori, Paolo Marabini, Marco Pastonesi e Ciro Scognamiglio. Classe 1984, ciclista professionista dal 2005, Nibali corre per il team Astana. Tra le sue vittorie rientrano la Vuelta España 2010, il Giro d’Italia 2013 e due edizioni della Tirreno-Adriatico. E’ il secondo italiano dopo Felice Gimondi a essere salito sul podio di tutti e tre i Grandi Giri, dopo aver vinto il titolo di campione nazionale italiano nel giugno 2014. Grande carisma e determinazione caratterizzano Nibali, soprannominato “Lo squalo dello Stretto” fin da dilettante, per via del suo modo di correre sempre all’attacco. “Nibali e l’Italia del Tour” racconta i retroscena del campione, soffermandosi sulla fondamentale figura di Giuseppe Martinelli, dirigente sportivo dell’Astana, e sui compagni di squadra, veri e propri angeli custodi, e ripercorrendo l’intera cronostoria di questo Tour 2014 appena concluso. Oltre alla vittoria finale, Vincenzo Nibali ha trionfato anche in diverse tappe: a Sheffield, a La Planche del Belles Filles e a Chamrousse. Aiutato dai gregari dell’Astana, è riuscito a fare la differenza, imprimendo subito la sua impronta in questo Tour de France e dimostrando una padronanza della bicicletta che solo i grandi campioni hanno. Nel libro, il talento di Nibali fa da apripista al racconto delle vittorie di altri grandi del ciclismo che hanno portato in alto i colori italiani: iniziando da Marco Pantani, vincitore del Tour de France nel 1998, 33 anni dopo Gimondi, vittorioso nel Tour del 1965 che, come raccontano nel libro, non avrebbe neanche dovuto correre… Spazio anche per la storica coppia di “amici-nemici” Coppi-Bartali. Entrambi riuscirono a far scrivere per ben due volte il proprio nome nell’albo d’oro della Grande Boucle. Il primo nel 1949 e nel 1952, il secondo nel 1938 e nel 1948. Il libro ricorda anche altri favole italiane al Tour, come Gastone Nencini, scalatore tosto e discesista folle, che conquistò l’edizione del 1960. “Nibali e l’Italia del Tour”, libro di 192 pagine con testi e immagini a colori, sarà in edicola da sabato 2 agosto al prezzo di €8,99 più il costo del quotidiano. .

  • Worshipped, Abused, Rejected
    I NTRODUCTION Worshipped, Abused, Rejected HE LIVED THE FRENETIC LIFE of a celebrated sports icon. He died the solitary death of a drug-dependent depressive. Marco Pantani’s ending faithfully reflected his star-crossed life and times. The quirky, pugnacious Italian climber was frequently alone at the end of punishing mountain stages in cycling’s greatest races, minutes ahead of the opposition. And he was alone again, tragically so, when he died in the fifth- story room of a hotel called Le Rose in the afternoon of a somber St. Valentine’s Day in February 2004. Outside his window, life still bustled in the streets of Rimini, while waves continued to foam onto the beach of this Adriatic resort. Pantani was 34. On February 18, some 20,000 people came to Pantani’s hometown of Cesenatico, fewer than 20 kilometers north of Rimini. They watched and applauded his final 2-kilometer journey: from his funeral at the church of San Giacomo, where he was baptized, then alongside the Leonardo da Vinci–designed port canal, to his burial at the small coastal town’s cemetery. His grave has become a shrine, like that of Italy’s other tragic cycling champion who died before his time, Fausto Coppi, who was just 40 and still an active racer when he was claimed by malaria that had been misdiagnosed as the flu.

  • Contador, La "Tripla Corona" in Una Carriera Straordinaria
    Ufficio Stampa della Provincia autonoma di Trento Piazza Dante 15, 38122 Trento Tel. 0461 494614 - Fax 0461 494615 [email protected] COMUNICATO n. 2428 del 12/10/2018 Contador, la "Tripla corona" in una carriera straordinaria Cosa accomuna ciclisti, sette al mondo, come Alberto Contador, Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Felice Gimondi, Vincenzo Nibali e Chris Froome? Il potersi fregiare della “Tripla Corona”, avendo vinto almeno una volta Tour de France, Giro d’Italia e Vuelta, i tre “Grandi Giri”. “El Pistolero” Contador è venuto al Festival dello Sport di Trento, a palazzo Geremia, per parlarne e per raccontare una carriera straordinaria e una vita che lo ha messo di fronte a prove importanti ma che lui ha affrontato pensando - parole sue - che "volere è potere". Quella che è uscita oggi è la storia di un ragazzo che da Pinto, nella comunità autonoma di Madrid, è partito alla conquista del mondo, iniziato al ciclismo dall'esempio del fratello, che gli ha ceduto anche la bicicletta. "Praticavo calcio e atletica - ha detto Contador - ma della bicicletta mi ha attratto il senso di libertà che porta con sé". Il suo idolo è stato Marco Pantani a cui, al primo incontro, ha manifestato tutta la sua ammirazione. "Credo - ha detto - che Pantani mi abbia ispirato nello stile". Una carriera da incorniciare quella di Contador: professionista per 15 stagioni, 68 successi, 9 grandi corse a tappe vinte su 18 partecipazioni, due Giri d’Italia (2008 e 2015), due Tour de France (2007 e 2009) e tre Vuelta (2008, 2012 e 2014).

  • Condenan a La AMA Por No Respetar La Presunción De Inocencia De Cissé
    MARCA ATLETISMODick Pound y el organismo deberán pagar 10.500 euros Condenan a la AMA por no respetar la presunción de inocencia de Cissé El antiguo consejero de Diack consiguió la condena por la redacción del informe sobre su participación en el trama de dopaje ruso Cissé fue detenido por la policía hace dos días por este mismo caso Dick Pound AFP • o o Compartido2 Actualizado 20/10/2016 El senegalés Habib Cissé, exconsejero de Lamine Diack, expresidente de la IAAF, ha hecho que se condene a la Agencia Mundial Antidopaje (AMA) por no tener en cuenta su presunción de inocencia en el marco de la investigación sobre el dopaje masivo de los atletas rusos y su presunta protección por parte de la IAAF, informó este jueves una fuente judicial. Hace dos días, sin embargo, Cissé fue detenido por la policía francesa por este mismo caso y se encuentra en estos momentos en prisión preventiva. La AMA y el presidente de la comisión que produjo el informe que acusaba a Diack y Cissé, el abogado canadiense Richard W. Pound, fueron condenados solidariamente a pagar 8.000 euros por daños y perjuicios a Habib Cissé y 2.500 euros por los gastos procesales. Un informe del 14 de enero de 2016 describía a Cissé como perteneciente al "centro de los engaños que buscaban perturbar la gestión de los resultados de la IAAF (Federación Internacional de Atletismo), intentando disimular las infracciones a las reglas antidopaje cometidas por los atletas rusos", y haber "participado en la conspiración que buscaba extorsionar a atletas para disimular, retrasar o eliminar las sanciones disciplinarias pronunciadas contra los atletas rusos".
