  • 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.

    91st SCHELDEPRIJS April 16 Robbie McEwen, Tom Boonen, Jaan Kirsipuu and…Frank Vandenbroucke: all those cycling stars are at the start of the race. 163 riders participate in the event. Several riders try to go in the break but nobody is able to increase the gap till four riders: De Weert, Lauder, Scanlon and Koerts attack and hold a certain advantage. Koerts is dropped when the riders enter Schoten, with two laps left to go. Servais Knaven is the next one to break but he is caught too. It is then Ludovic Capelle’s turn to go. This attack is the good one and thanks to his friend Kirsipuu’s good job, who perfectly controls the pack, he wins the race. Kirsipuu finishes the race in 2nd place.

  • 97Th SCHELDEPRIJS April 15
    97th SCHELDEPRIJS April 15 164 riders are present at the Antwerp Great Market Square for the 97th Scheldeprijs. A few days after he won for the third time in Roubaix, Tom Boonen was the big attraction on Antwerp Great Square. Mark Cavendish was not present at the start and as a consequence Tom was the only rider able to reach Oellibrandt’s record. Bernucci, Pronk, Brutt and Louder formed the traditional early breakaway and the maximum gap between the four breakers and the bunch reached 6’56”. A first crash involving Ciolek and Haussler amongst other riders took place at 40 km from the finishing line. At the entrance of the last local lap, the four leaders still had an advantage of 1’07”. Knaven and Hammond counterattacked but at 4 km from the line, the bunch was packed together again. Van Avermaet launched his sprint too early and Petacchi, without his teammates’ help, chose the right side of the road to come to the front in a very impressive way. Nothing and nobody was still able to defeat him when a very big massive crash happened just behind him. Robbie McEwen, Tom Boonen, Greg Van Avermaet and many other riders were the victims of that crash and made acquaintance with Churchill Avenue asphalt. Nobody was badly hurt except McEwen who suffered a brain concussion. It may seem incredible but that was Alessandro Petacchi’s first victory on Belgium territory except for Aalst Criterium. PARCOURS Antwerp, Great Market Square (officious start), Schoten (official start), St. Job, Brecht, Wuustwezel, Loenhout, Hoogstraten, Meer, Meerle, Minderhout, Merksplas, Rijkevorsel, Beerse, Lille, Gierle, Lille, Kasterlee, Tielen, Herentals, Vorselaar, Grobbendonk, Zandhoven, Ranst, Schilde, Wijnegem, Schoten (159 km) en drie lokale ronden van 16 km, totaal 207 km.

MP Yousef Al-Fadhalah said on his Twitter account that he will file to grill the prime minister on March 5 if the government allows Health Minister Jamal Al-Harbi to quit, while leaving “suspected corrupt senior bureaucrats” in their positions. The lawmaker said that he had learned that Harbi offered his resignation on Monday during the Cabinet meeting after his demand to sack the undersecretary and a number of senior officials was not accepted by the Cabinet. The controversy over the health minister has been growing even before the November election, after reports that the cost of sending Kuwaitis for treatment abroad skyrocketed to new highs. Some MPs put it at as high as KD 750 million last year. Opposition MPs have alleged that a majority of those sent for treatment abroad were in fact not patients but sent on what they described as “medical tourism or politi- cal medication”, under which thousands of fake patients were sent abroad to appease certain MPs.
