  • 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?

  • 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.

  • RACE HANDBOOK 47Th Edition - 10Th June 2012 Girvan: South Ayrshire
    RACE HANDBOOK 47th Edition - 10th June 2012 Girvan: South Ayrshire 1 | P a g e Welcome to the 47th South Carrick David Bell Memorial Race Here we go again! Can it really be a year since our last outing? Time plays tricks for sure, but fresh and vivid are my memories of watching Rapha-Condor-Sharp’s James McCallum conquer our strada grigio before launching his audacious winning attack. As cycling-journalist Ed Hood observed “I didn’t think sprinters were meant to win on their own!” Ours is a race we refer to as a Scottish ‘monument’ and 2011 will long be remembered a classic; not only for the unfolding drama of the race but also the stunning backdrop. Goosebumps watching the bunch ascend onto the barren moor road above Dalmellington; the thrill of seeing the pack rocket around the twists and turns of the Loch Doon road, and the cacophonous racket and dust cloud as we hit the now-fabled Carrick Forest Drive for the very first time! “I was there” – that’s all we’ll ever need to say. This year, our 47th Edition, sees our race grow again with our promotion to ‘National A’ status. We welcome our title sponsors, South Ayrshire Council and South Carrick Community Leisure, who have bought into our vision to put the Davie Bell on the national and international stage by 2015. This will mark the 50th running of the event honouring our club founder, and popular wordsmith David E.T. Bell. What would Bell make of the race run in his name? If truth be told he was no racer, but as an adventurer and pioneer I like to think he would admire our bold ambitions.
