  • Tour De France - 11
    Biomatematický model BMM: Tour de France - 11. etapa Na programu jubilejní 100 Tour de France chyběl klasický prolog a tak jsme vhodnou trať pro BMM museli počkat až do 11. etapy, kdy přišla na řadu první individuální časovka. Náročnost 33km dlouhé trati notně zvyšoval silný vítr, se kterým se všichni závodníci potýkali. Hned v úvodu nasadil nepřekonatelnou laťku favorizovaný Tony Martin (Omega Pharma-Quick step), se kterým vyrovnanou partii sehrál jen žlutý Chris Froome (Sky Procycling), výrazně tím navyšující své celkové vedení. Mezi ostatními jezdci top 10 to byla vyrovnaná bitva. Roman Kreuziger (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) zajel výborně a udržel celkové 5. místo a samozřejmě velmi emotivním zážitkem pro všechny byla ostrá jízda paralympika Jirky Ježka v roli oficiálního předjezdce. Jak se mezi špalíry diváků dařilo na trati jezdcům v programu BMM? Vítr nám dal zabrat, co?

Je krijgt hiermee een inkijkje in het prachtige, maar minstens zo uitdagende project wat ik in mijn hoofd gehaald heb. Ik begin aan de zwaarste sportieve uitdaging die ik ooit bedacht of geprobeerd heb. Of het niet té uitdagend is en hoe ik me gedurende de Tour zal voelen, vind ik nog een beetje spannend. Maar alleen al door de energie die ik er van heb gekregen sinds ik besloten heb deze uitdaging aan te gaan, is het nu al mijn beste beslissing van het jaar. Dat dit Tourboek bestaat, is daar het gevolg van. De voorpret die ik inmiddels heb gehad bij het opstellen hiervan is zo groot, dat dit alleen al zeer de moeite waard geweest zou zijn als ik nu geen enkele etappe zou starten. Waar ik vroeger schriftjes en plakboeken bijhield van de Tour de France op TV, kon ik nu een Tourboek maken over mijn eigen Ronde van Frankrijk: twee hobby’s komen hier samen. LIGHTNING ENDURANCE Als disclaimer vermeld ik graag ten eerste dat ik geen enkele pretentie heb een SPORTS NUTRITION unieke prestatie te leveren mocht dit project slagen. Er zijn mij al vele amateurs voor gegaan die een soortgelijke uitdaging hebben voltooid. Of ik het sneller of langzamer, in meer of minder etappes of met meer of minder begeleiding doe weet ik niet en vind ik ook niet interessant.

We are the friendly Irish and we are the fighting Irish! I’ve picked several key moments in Irish culture that got Ireland noticed across the world and tied them into working intervals of varying duration. The terrain of Ireland is constantly changing, so be prepared for terrain that could always shift under your feet! The scope of this profile is to work below threshold, then at threshold, and finally give riders the option to work above threshold. When you ask a tourist about Ireland or if you think about how Ireland is perceived outside of our small isle, we are, in many cases, associated with the colour green, Guinness, and anything else that fits a stereotype.

These pivotal moments have slowly changed how we are perceived in the world. As the ride begins, I do like to mention a few quotes that various film and TV characters around the world have referenced about Ireland to lighten the mood. I will include some at the very end of this profile.
