  • Giro D'italia 2009
    2009-03-18 21:02 CET Giro d’Italia 2009 Måske er det ikke så faverigt som Tour De France eller verdensmesterskabet i cykelløb, men det udfordrende 3396 km lange Giro D’Italia tiltrækker verdens bedste cykelryttere, som gør deres yderste for at opnå det bedst mulige resultat. Løbet består af 21 etaper og er ikke for de svage, hvilket ses ved, at verdens bedste cykelryttere deltager. Unibet tilbyder en række attraktive sats på denne event, og nogle af dem giver særdeles god værdi i øjeblikket. Her er nogle af deltagerne og deres odds for at vinde en etape eller intet overhovedet. Lance Armstrong Der skal mod til at satse i mod denne nutidens supermand, hvis odds p・2,00 p・ at han vinder en eller flere etaper og odds p・1,72 p・at intet vinder, virker som et fantastisk godt sats til prisen. Ivan Basso Et af de mere kendte navne, som viste sin utvivlsomme karakter ved at vinde i 2006 og hans styrke i enkelstart g ham til en af favoritterne til at vinde igen. De aktuelle odds p・Basso er 1,70 p・ at han vinder en eller flere etaper og odds p・2,02 p・ at han intet vinder. Fabian Cancellara Den nuv誡ende olympiske mester og specialist i tidsksel er bestemt med i oplet om at vinde en eller flere etaper og det afspejles i Unibet Odds p・1,70 p・ at han vinder en eller flere etaper og odds p・2,02, at han intet vinder. Damiano Cunego Den italienskfte cykelrytter er en st誡k modstander i kampen om pokalen og hans evner i bjergene og erfaring med terr誅et vil givetvis betyde, at denne cykelrytter g det bedre end fx Basso og Cancellara.

La 1ª edición de la Vuelta, con 3.425 km repartidos en 14 etapas, se disputó en 1935, siendo organizada por el diario Informaciones (en base a la idea original de Clemente Lopez Doriga) y con victoria para el belga Gustaaf Deloor. Los primeros años fueron muy complicados, tanto por las dificultades económicas de los organizadores como por causas externas, dejando de disputarse la carrera durante la Guerra Civil española, la 2ª Guerra Mundial, en 1949, y de 1951 a 1954, cuando el Diario Ya renunció a organizar la prueba (se había hecho cargo en 1945). En 20 años de existencia apenas se habían podido celebrar 9 ediciones. A partir de 1955 la carrera ya no sufrió más interrupciones, primero bajo el mando del El Correo Español/El Pueblo Vasco (1955 a 1978), y mas tarde de Unipublic, organizadora de la prueba desde 1979 hasta la actualidad. Pero eso no significa que La Vuelta haya atravesado un “camino de rosas” desde entonces, estando a punto de desaparecer en 1979 y teniendo que cambiar en 1995 las tradicionales fechas de abril/mayo por el mes de septiembre para poder mantener una participación aceptable.

It should be noted that in the early years of bike racing distances were approximate.

    COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE No 1 TOUR DE ROMANDIE 2013 Payerne, le 14 décembre 2012 Le parcours du 67e Tour de Romandie qui aura lieu du 23 au 28 avril 2013 a été dévoilé ce jour, lors d'une conférence de presse présidée à Marly par Richard Chassot. Grâce à son label « WorldTour », la boucle romande est assurée de la présence des dix-huit meilleures équipes du monde (ProTeams). La formation suisse IAM (Continentale Pro) les rejoindra si elle obtient le label ainsi que la WildCard de l’UCI. Une 20e équipe pourrait de plus être invitée. Voici quelques informations concernant la course, ses partenaires, son organisation. Concernant les structures du Tour, la Fondation TDR présidée par Yves Christen a dit sa satisfaction de chapeauter une épreuve sportive maîtrisant ses dépenses, ce qui permet d’assurer la pérennité de l’épreuve. « Au niveau financier, le Tour de Romandie actuel peut être considéré comme sain. Les risques financiers sont maîtrisés. L'ensemble des investissements et des coûts est intégralement autofinancé. Le budget 2013 s'élève à 4,5 millions », a indiqué Yves Christen. Place à l’édition 2013 (23 au 28 avril) ! Deux ans après avoir désigné son premier leader à Martigny (victoire du jeune Espagnol Castroviejo), le Valais accueille à nouveau le départ du Tour de Romandie. Un prologue en côte sera disputé entre Le Châble et Bruson le mardi 23 avril 2013. Le départ de la 1ère étape sera donné de Saint-Maurice.
