  • TOB1DA – Tour of Britain Media Pack Content
    TOB1DA – Tour of Britain media pack content News release (general) DUO GEAR UP FOR TOUR OF BRITAIN CHALLENGE TO ASSIST BRITISH CYCLING TALENT A business leader and world record holder will be the first riders to complete this year’s OVO Energy Tour of Britain, as they take on the route one day ahead of the elite professionals in a bid to raise £50,000 for the future of the sport. Phil Jones, managing director of Brother UK, and James Golding, holder of the world record for the furthest distance cycled in seven days, are cycling the 1,136km route to raise money for the Dave Rayner Fund, a trust set up to help promising riders fulfil their potential as professional cyclists. Departing from Pembrey Park at 9am on Saturday 1st September, the pair will ride the first seven stages of the route over consecutive days, before completing the final stage in London on Sunday 9th September – the same day the elite cyclists will cross the finish line. Phil Jones, pioneer of the fundraising project, said: “The recent Tour de France victory of Geraint Thomas has helped to shine a spotlight on cycling and show people across the country what talent we have here in the UK. “What’s not always recognised is how challenging it is to become a professional in the sport, particularly for those who don’t have the financial backing or are not part of the elite programme of British Cycling backed by Sport England. The Dave Rayner Fund helps to overcome this by providing promising cyclists with the funding they need to make it professionally, helping to ensure British cycling continues to thrive outside of the Olympic programme.

  • Argento Tra Gli Assoluti,Frascati Scherma, Garozzo P
    FRASCATI SCHERMA, MIELE CAMPIONE ITALIANO PARALIMPICO. ASPROMONTE D'ARGENTO TRA GLI ASSOLUTI Redazione Frascati (Rm) – Il Frascati Scherma ha “saccheggiato” Trieste. Si sono conclusi domenica i campionati italiani assoluti e paralimpici 2013 dove la società del presidente Paolo Molinari ha cumulato numerosi piazzamenti di prestigio. Tra gli Assoluti il risultato migliore è stato l'argento di Valerio Aspromonte nel fioretto piegato solo in finale da Alessio Foconi che si è imposto per 15-13. Nella stessa gara il Frascati Scherma ha praticamente monopolizzato il podio considerato il bronzo di Daniele Garozzo, battuto in semifinale (8-15) proprio nella sfida “in famiglia” con Aspromonte. A completare l'ottima prestazione degli atleti tuscolani nel fioretto ci ha pensato Francesco Trani che ha chiuso ottavo, eliminato ai quarti dallo stesso Foconi. Sempre nel fioretto, ma al femminile, si è piazzata sul gradino più basso del podio Carolina Erba, arresasi in semifinale ad Alice Volpi col punteggio di 15-11. Per lei, comunque, un bronzo di spessore. E la medaglia del terzo è stata conquistata anche da Loreta Gulotta nella sciabola femminile: l'atleta frascatana è stata sfortunata nella combattutissima semifinale persa per 14-15 contro Gioia Marzocca, poi laureatasi campionessa italiana. Sempre nella sciabola si è fermata ai quarti la bella corsa di Flaminia Prearo (ottava), mentre tra gli uomini c'è da segnalare il buon decimo posto di Alessandro Riccardi. Ottime notizie anche dai campionati a squadre che vedevano impegnati il Frascati Scherma: i due team di fioretto (quello maschile composto da Riccardo Cinti, Luca Papale, Tommaso Fabrizi e Francesco Trani e quello femminile formato da Marta Simoncelli, Chiara Tranquilli, Beatrice Guglielmi e Manuela Cerchiaro) hanno ottenuto il sesto posto e la conferma nella prossima serie A1.
