ESSENTIAL INFORMATION Start date: Sunday 18 September 2016. Registration from 1000. Start at 1045. Event Type: Cycle Sportive (non-competitive). Venue: Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park, Longview Drive, Huyton, Liverpool, Merseyside L36 6EG. Tel. 0151 443 2200 Event Website: http://cycleclassics.co.uk/liverpool-roubaix/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/liverpoolroubaix Emergency Mobile Numbers: 07708 648106. Getting There Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park (L36 6EG), which houses the new (2012) Knowsley Velodrome, is situated close to junction 6 of the M62 (the junction with the M57), and junction 2 of the M57 (see map below). The easiest approach by car is via the M57, leaving at junction 2 (A57 exit) and proceeding westwards along the A57 for 1km, before taking a left onto Longview Lane past the playing fields. First left and then first right immediately afterwards will take you onto Longview Drive. By train, the start and finish HQ is located less than a mile from Huyton Railway Station. There are early trains from Liverpool and Manchester on Sunday morning, which arrive in time to register from 1000 to and start at 1045. If you live further afield, driving is probably the best option, via the M6 and M62. Parking & Event HQ: There is parking at Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park, Longview Drive, Huyton, Liverpool, Merseyside L36 6EG, which serves as the event start and finish and HQ. There is additional on-street parking close to the venue. Hotels: There is no shortage of accommodation in the area. There are several Premier Inns in Liverpool with easy access to the HQ. There is a range of attractive, higher-budget hotels in the Liverpool and Knowsley area. There is also a Youth Hostel in Liverpool. Good luck and see you at the event. Francis Longworth (Event Organiser) Email: [email protected] 2. ROUTE INFORMATION The ‘Liverpool Roubaix’ cyclosportive is 100km (62 miles) long, and starts and finishes at Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park near Liverpool. Although only 100km long and relatively flat, it is a surprisingly tough course, principally because it features ten unpaved/gravel sectors, farm tracks and bridleways (ranging from 500m to 1200m in length, and totalling 10km). Anything under four hours is very good going. The event is intended to mimic the professional one-day Classic ‘Paris-Roubaix’ (as far as is possible in this area), and as such is designed to be ridden on road bikes. A cyclo-cross bike would be a suitable alternative, but bear in mind that there are 90km of normal tarmac roads in addition to the 10km of gravel roads. The route is located on the relatively flat Mersey plain. The amount of climbing involved is fairly small - less than 500m in total. The maximum elevation is 108m, and much of the route lies below 20m. The ride finishes, as does Paris-Roubaix, on a large outdoor velodrome, at Knowsley velodrome. While there are only a few remaining cobbles in the area, there are plenty of rough gravel roads and stony bridleways. The roughness of these roads amplifies and intensifies the sensations of speed and excitement relative to smooth tarmac, and is quite similar in many respects to riding on cobbles - but without being quite so violent and jarring. There is, however, an excellent 700m section of genuine cobbles near the village of Kenyon – see main photo above – which is as difficult as the cobbled roads in France and Belgium, and which provides a tough challenge even to the most experienced of riders. After starting outside Liverpool velodrome, the course heads east across the flat, Roubaix-like plains of Merseyside. The first four sectors are stony gravel roads which are quite pitted and bumpy in places. The action really begins immediately after the feed station, where riders encounter the cobbles, whose difficulty should not be underestimated. After the cobbled sector, the route heads north of St Helens. Here the event builds to a climax with a rapid succession of a further four testing unpaved roads, before heading south back to the velodrome through Knowsley Hall and Safari Park - the site of the opening time-trial stage of The Tour of Britain in 2014 (see photos below). After sweeping through the velodrome gates and onto the track, riders will hear the bell indicating one lap to go, and from there it's a high-speed sprint to the finish line. Riders complete a lap-and-a-half of the new Knowsley Velodrome at the finish of the Liverpool Roubaix cyclosportive. Most of the roads used on the route are relatively traffic-free, with the majority of the unpaved sectors being closed to all traffic. The number of kilometres spent on A-roads is kept to a minimum, although there are inevitably a couple of kilometres of suburban roads on leaving Knowsley and passing through Newton-Le-Willows after the cobbled sector. A broom wagon will be provided but riders are expected to be self-sufficient, however, and it is recommended, given the rough nature of some of the roads, that at least two extra inner tubes and a small pump (or gas bottles) should be carried. The well-stocked feed station is located at 52 km in Croft, roughly at the half-way point of the course, where a track pump will also be available to fully inflate replaced inner tubes, if necessary. A GPX file of Liverpool Roubaix 2016 is available here, and on the event website - and also as a download on British Cycling’s mapping facility http://www.britishcycling.org.uk/dashboard#Mapping under ‘Liverpool Roubaix 2016’. The route can also be viewed on Google Maps and on OS Maps in detail on the British Cycling website above. Although the route is very well signposted, we urge all riders to both familiarize themselves with the course, and download the GPX file if they have a Garmin-like device, in order to reduce the probability of going off-course. In addition you are strongly advised to print out the three colour 1:50 000 OS maps (which will be emailed to you and will also be available on the event website) and take them with you on the ride (perhaps in a Ziploc sandwich bag to keep them dry). The course will be inspected on the afternoon before the event, and if any changes are required to the route, you will be notified in the safety briefing immediately before the start. Arrows placed along the route will indicate any last-minute modifications; you should follow the arrows rather than the GPX file if the two are in conflict.

Total climb = 490m. START Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park - the HQ for Liverpool Roubaix. Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park houses the new 400m velodrome. Classy. Sculpture referencing Liverpool's fishing and maritime heritage at Knowsley Leisure and Culture Park. Excellent swimming pool inside, if you fancy a post-ride dip. FEED STATION - The General Elliot, Croft The General Elliot Feed Station in Croft, at the half-way point, just before the difficult cobbled Sector 7 (Main Lane). Stock-up! The General Elliot as it was a hundred years ago. The route of Liverpool Roubaix runs right in front of it, but the cobbles have long been removed. Note cyclist at bottom-right training for the 1922 Paris-Roubaix. SECTOR 5: Main Lane Cobbles - 700m * * * * * The excellent cobbled road to High Peak which features in the Liverpool Roubaix cyclosportive. As tough as the notorious Carrefour de l'Arbre sector of Paris-Roubaix? Riders at the start of the 2015 Liverpool Roubaix. The Main Lane cobbles are just as challenging as some of the cobbled sectors in Paris-Roubaix. Slightly downhill gradient of the cobbles ( - 2%) makes for a fast and thrilling ride. 27mm+ tyres are the best choice for gravel and cobbled of Liverpool Roubaix. Vittoria Pave are an excellent choice. The open, Roubaix-like landscape of the Merseyside plain east of Liverpool. SECTOR 4: Berrington's Lane - 1200m * * * * Coarse gravel road leading to Berrington's Lane (Sector 4). This sector is only four stars, but is not to be taken lightly. One of the toughest of the ten unpaved sectors. SECTOR 3: Mossborough Hall Lane - 700m * * * * The coarse gravel at the start of the Mossborough Hall sector. A hint of underlying cobbles to the left? Sector 3: The fantastic Mossborough Hall sector. Slightly downhill at about 2%, and best taken very fast in a high gear. A highlight of the route. SECTOR 2: Coach Road - 900m * * * The long, tree-lined broken tarmac of Sector 2 - The Coach Road through the Knowsley Estate. SECTOR 1: Cut Lane - 500m * * * The final gravel sector - the short but bumpy Cut Lane, which threads its way around a group of farm buildings. After this sector, it's just 10km back to the velodrome. KNOWSLEY ESTATE The Entrance to Knowsley Hall and Safari Park, 3km from the finish of Liverpool Roubaix.

Skvěle se v ní dařilo Janu Bártovi (Net App – Endura), který potvrdil svojí časovkářskou extratřídu a dojel 4. a o pár pozic níže skončil jeho týmový kolega Leo Konig . Karel Hník (MTN‐Qhubeka) dokončil lehce za polovinou pole). O kuriozní situaci se postaral Mark Cavendish (Omega Pharma – Quick step), který si z předstartovního soustředění zapomněl vzít na start kolo… Nakonec mu ho přinesli pár vteřin před povelem „Go“. Mark se do toho opřel opravdu pořádně a dojel si pro solidní 15. místo. A jak se na širokých Londýnských ulicích dařilo jezdcům BMM?

  • 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.

  • Milano-Sanremo 2011, Matthew Goss Trionfa in Volata, Il Tasmaniano Batte 7 Compagni Di Fuga
    1 Milano-Sanremo 2011, Matthew Goss trionfa in volata, il tasmaniano batte 7 compagni di fuga di Mario Guglielmi, Luciano Breviario Luca Simoncelli – 19 Marzo 2011 – 15:47 Nell’edizione 2011 della Milano-Sanremo il 24enne Matthew Goss trionfa in volata sul Lungomare Italo Calvino. Il velocista tasmaniano batte 7 compagni di fuga. Per la prima volta nella storia un australiano vince la Classicissima di Primavera. Generosa, ma sfortunata rimonta di Scarponi. Per il quinto anno di fila a Sanremo vince un ciclista straniero. Goss ha preceduto nell’ordine Cancellara, Gilbert, Ballan, Pozzato, Scarponi, Offredo e Nibali. Van Avermaet che era fuggito sul Poggio è stato raggiunto dagli inseguitori quando mancavano 2300 metri. Goss ha fatto sua la corsa negli ultimi 200 metri grazie allo sprint fulminante, sfruttando il fatto che era l’unico vero velocista del Riviera24 - 1 / 2 - 29.09.2021 2 gruppetto che si è giocato la vittoria. Per Goss, classe 1986, è il quinto successo stagionale. Battuti anche quest’anno gli italiani, anche se Nibali e Scarponi hanno lottato come leoni sino all’ultimo. La scheda di Matthew Goss da Wikipedia Matthew Harley Goss (Launceston, 18 ottobre 1986) è un pistard e ciclista su strada australiano che corre per l’HTC-Highroad. Conta la vittoria di una tappa al Giro d’Italia e della Milano-Sanremo. Come molti altri connazionali, iniziò l’attività con il ciclismo su pista. Dopo essere stato due volte campione australiano nell’inseguimento a squadre, conquistò la medaglia di bronzo ai Campionati del mondo di ciclismo su pista di Los Angeles del 2005 con Ashley Hutchinson, Mark Jamieson e Stephen Wooldridge, poi la medaglia d’oro l’anno successivo a Bordeaux con Peter Dawson, Mark Jamieson e Stephen Wooldridge.

MY PATH TO ROAD RACING • I started with a local cycling club aged 11. • I spent my first few years racing and riding off road. • My first race was at Hillingdon Cycle Circuit. • The British Cycling Olympic development program led me on to road racing. • At the age of 18, I decided to take a step back from cycling and enter the ‘real world’ of work. • Seeing the 2012 Olympics inspired me to get back on the bike and find the determination to turn it into a career. So after a 5 year break from cycling, I returned to the sport starting with mountain biking and road racing. • In 2014 I joined Pedal Heaven race team, this was the turning point in my road racing career. • In 2017 I was keen for change and joined Madison Genesis. • After a year of ups and downs, I moved to Canyon Eisberg, run by Tim Elverson who I had worked closely with at Pedal Heaven.
