  • 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?

Photo Anthony PICORÉ RC METZ 35 LONS 7 Mi-temps : 20-7. Stade de la Grange aux Bois. Terrain synthétique. 300 spectateurs. Arbitre : M. Lemonnier. METZ : 4 essais Kimmel (7e ), Micoud (22e ), Bonjean (67e ), Guerimand (73e ). 3 transformations Perrin (7e, 22e ) et Parra (73e ). 3 pénalités Perrin (14e , 38e , 55e ). Wagner, Kimmel, Bivert, Toulet, Festor, Costa, Combes, Raynal, Parra, Bonjean, Celic, Perrin, Agnes, Constant, Micoud. Sont entrés en jeu : Perriot, Kremer, Manceaux, Philippe, Guerimand, Nicoletta, Fabre. Carton blanc : Perrin (40e ). Carton jaune : Kremer (80e ). LONS : 1 essai Neiceru (10e ). 1 transformation Neiceru (10e ). Royer, Perez, Bouillon, Vakaruru, Guidot, Rollin, Aboueme, Beqa, Joly, Bolomier, Raoma, Neiceru, Meynier, Gauthier, Cugnot. Sont entrés en jeu : Fourcade, Gabriel Robez, Benoit, Dubuy, Taponard, Balconnet, Contardo. Carton jaune : Guidot (59e ) et Beqa (84e ). Les Messins, intransigeants en défense et omniprésents en attaque, ont maté le quinze jurassien. Et pourtant c’est Lons-le-Saunier qui a lancé les hostilités : Raoma a récupéré un long ballon donné au pied à un mètre de la ligne, mais au moment d'aplatir, a commis une faute de main. Secoués, les Messins. Mais sur une touche de Bivert, le ballon a voyagé entre les lignes pour parvenir à Kimmel, qui leur a offert les premiers points. Perrin a transformé pour le RC en tête (7-0). Neiceru manque deux pénalités faciles Meynier, pour Lons,a répondu en s’échappant pour servir Neiceru.

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board.

    RaboDirect PRO12 : PREVIEW 2012/13 Round 18: 22ND & 23RD March 2013 ROUND 18 PREVIEWS With just five rounds left to decide which teams will contest the Play-Offs, there is a new leader of the RaboDirect PRO12 with Glasgow Warriors taking over the mantle from Ulster, whilst for the fourth round in succession, Ospreys swapped places with Scarlets in the Play-Off Zone. Three of those teams are in action on Friday night; Ulster traveling to Edinburgh, Ospreys hosting Welsh rivals Newport Gwent Dragons, and Scarlets in Italy to face Zebre. Edinburgh can do their Scottish neighbours, Warriors, a favour if they can defeat Ulster however their record against the Ulstermen is not great. Meanwhile Ospreys and Scarlets must both be looking to come away with maximum points from opponents who are sitting at the wrong end of the table in their bids to reach the Play-Offs. The leaders, Glasgow Warriors, are not in action until Saturday, and are the only one of the potential Play-Off teams to face another side from the top half of the table when the visit Leinster at the RDS. Munster will also be looking for maximum points in the All-Irish clash against Connacht if they are to make a final push for the knockout stages. With just two points separating the top three teams in the table, whilst it is even closer for the final Play Off spot, there is definitely all to play for still as the RaboDirect PRO12 enters its closing stages.
