An additional rider classification was created for those riders outside of the top 25% of all categories called DoMestique. General Classification riders in the WT were older than PC, however, there were no other differences between rider specialties. However, differences were found in anthropoMetric characteristics within the different divisions (i.e. height, body Mass, body surface area, and frontal area).

  • A Slovak Superstar: Peter Sagan
    A Slovak superstar: Peter Sagan Peter Sagan, planet's most successful cyclist, was born in Slovakia in 1990. With 89 victories he goes by motto »Wake up and be happy«. Sep 29, 2017 Photo credit: Reuters Pictures Peter Sagan can do it all – he is one of the world’s most powerful and skilled bike riders, a sprinter and is also considered to be one of the cycling’s greatest talents. This claim is proved by the list of his major wins: 7 stage wins Tour de France, 5 points competition Tour de France, 2015 Tour of California, 2015 road race world champion, 2016 road race world champion, and 2016 Tour of Flanders. He is a Slovakian professional road-bicycle racer for UCI WorldTeam Bora-Hansgrohe. He started as a mountain bike racer and in 2008, before moving to road racing won the Junior Mountain Bike World Championship. On September 24th this year, Sagan won the World Championship for the third consecutive year at the World Road Race Championships in Norwegian Bergen and became the first cyclist to win three gold medals at the World Championship in a row! Photo credit: AFP Bratislava’s own motto of “Accessibility-Innovation-Execution” should also be the motto for the whole country and for every aspect. Slovaks surely are an amazing nation, successful in all fields one can imagine. Their pride and happiness reflected on their champion Peter Sagan surely gave the Slovaks a worldwide popularity and some hope to host some cycling events as, for example, “Gran Fondo”. Slovaks are ready, what about the World? While considering to organise the race in the Slovak Republic, let us keep in mind that those are the people who actually go from words to actions.

El equipo anuncia que colaborará con la UCI en el proceso. J.A.Ezquerro Orbetello La cuarta etapa del Giro de Italia arrancó con el runrún de la ausencia de Juan Sebastián Molano, lanzador de Fernando Gaviria en el UAE Emirates. En un primer momento se especuló con algún problema de salud, pero el ciclista colombiano no salió por unos "valores inusuales", como confirmó el mánager del equipo, Joxean Fernández Matxin. "No hablamos de dopaje, sino de unos resultados anómalos que necesitarán de más exámenes. Lo más prudente en estos casos es apartarle hasta que se resuelva el proceso". Un proceso similar se produjo en 2014 con otro corredor procedente de Colombia: Sergio Luis Henao. Entonces también le suspendió el Sky y, después de la investigación y de las alegaciones correspondientes, la Fundación Antidopaje (CADF) de la Unión Ciclista Internacional (UCI) le dio luz verde para continuar en competición.

  • Germany's Marcel Kittel, Fastest of the Fast Man Phinney Retains Overall Lead
    Press conference quotes GERMANY'S MARCEL KITTEL, FASTEST OF THE FAST MAN PHINNEY RETAINS OVERALL LEAD Marcel Kittel won today the second stage of the Dubai Tour. On the windy final sprint, the German sprinter anticipated the Slovakian Peter Sagan and the race leader, the American Taylor Phinney. Nothing has changed in the individual general rankings with Phinney still leader in all four. Please find below declarations from the stage winner's press conference and the race leader post-stage declarations. Marcel Kittel (Team Giant – Shimano): Dubai. "Personally I like Dubai - I've been here already as a tourist once - and it's also very important to test the lead out train to see how well it goes. We've got very good guys, and today it all worked out good so that makes me happy too." Lead-Out. "We planned to be in front out of the tunnel, because we knew the wind would be there, so it was a bit calculated that we wouldn't have enough riders in the end, so they brought me to the final 500m and I got on the wheel of Taylor Phinney. He started his sprint early, I waited there… and I'm happy I've won today." Crossing the finish line first. "Crossing the finish line first is a very nice feeling, of course, and for me as a sprinter it's important to get the win, but I like to celebrate it as a team win in the end. because everyone works for one goal, and in the end I'm the lucky guy who gets to finish it off.
