  • 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?

  • Sporting Legends: Axel Merckx
    SPORTING LEGENDS: AXEL MERCKX SPORT: CYCLING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1993 - 2007 Axel Merckx (born August 8, 1972 in Uccle, Belgium), the son of the legendary Eddy Merckx, was a professional road bicycle racer since November 1993. In 1995 he joined Team Motorola as a team-mate of the young Lance Armstrong. Despite several strong years of racing, including winning the Belgian national championship in 2000, Axel is probably still more famous for being the son of five-time Tour de France champion Eddy Merckx than for any of his cycling exploits. Despite being overshadowed by his father's formidable record, Axel has repeatedly vowed to make his mark by accomplishing feats Eddy never managed - including a Tour de France stage win at the top of Alpe d'Huez and a win in the Paris-Tours World Cup race - but has yet to make good on these promises. He has a large number of fans in Belgium, and would undoubtedly engender a great deal more goodwill if he were ever to achieve either of those elusive wins. One place where he has overshadowed his father is at the Olympic Games. A good climber, Axel is probably at his best in the mid-altitude mountain ranges, notably the Massif Central and the Ardennes. His favorite race, and the one he feels best in, is Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He is also always aiming for a Tour de France stage win, and can often be found in long breaks. His sprinting capacities are not that strong, so he is often beaten at the finish. SPORTING LEGENDS: AXEL MERCKX Merckx enjoyed his 2004 Olympic Bronze success in Athens.

Le parcours emprunté par le peloton a été tracé de manière à ce que le spectacle soit le plus beau possible.

Rouleurs, baroudeurs, grimpeurs et sprinteurs auront tous leur mot à dire au cours des 7 jours de courses.

Le travail des bénévoles, l’engagement des collectivités (Régions, Préfectures, Départements, Communauté de communes et Villes étapes), le soutien des partenaires privés font du Tour de Normandie cycliste l’un des plus grands moments de sport en Normandie chaque année. Cette fête est aussi sportive et c’est cette union qui fait que l’épreuve proposée attire tout au long des routes des cinq départements un public nombreux.

Fully Jens!By Susan McgrathI started watching cycling in the early 2000's so Jens has been a part of the narrative for the entire time. He was the most character filled rider in the peloton. He used social media bolster his appeal, I believe, in an extremely savvy way - even if it was not planned. Jens just opens his mouth and you pay attention because he is so freaking hilarious. Reading this book is like listening to him speak. It's a great light read.

  • The Bold and the Beautiful and the Bike Katherine Kelly Lang's Great
    MEDIA RELEASE Sunday 10 August 2014 The Bold and the Beautiful and the Bike Katherine Kelly Lang’s Great Ocean Road Destiny She is one of the world’s most famous fashionistas as “Brooke Logan” or (depending on which week you are viewing) “Brooke Logan Forrester” on the most watched daytime drama series in the world, The Bold and the Beautiful. As one of the original cast members Katherine Kelly Lang has been the star attraction in the lives and loves of the Forrester and Spencer men, and the centrepiece of many scandals, tragedies, battles and epic stares since episode one in March 1987. But in September 2014, Lang will momentarily set aside the haute couture of ‘Forrester Originals’ to pull on another familiar fashion choice - lycra. A fitness enthusiast, with a love of equestrian, triathlon and cycling events, Katherine Kelly Lang will join in one of Australia’s most unique cycling experiences alongside 5,000 others for Wiggle Amy’s Gran Fondo on Sunday 14th September. With a clear passion for cycling, Lang’s twitter account (@KatherineKellyL) shows a recent trip following the Tour de France including fan snaps with Bradley Wiggins, Jens Voigt and Fabian Cancellara, and a cycling jaunt through Treviso, Italy. Amy’s Gran Fondo will provide an equally inspiring experience for Lang. Participants will depart from Lorne and embark on a ride that will take them along the Great Ocean Road, as well as Apollo Bay and the Otway Ranges - providing an outstanding opportunity for the American actress to take in some of Australia’s most spectacular views.
