Press Release 24 December 2015 Launch of a new UCI World Ranking The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) is pleased to announce the launch of a new UCI World Ranking (for men’s professional road cycling, reflecting a similar ranking in place already for women’s professional road cycling). The UCI World Ranking – individual and nations – will be published in parallel with the UCI WorldTour Ranking (individual, teams and nations). The new UCI World Ranking will be published once a week, each Monday, from January 11th 2016. It will take into account the results of the 52 previous weeks (a rolling system, similar to that of the ATP in tennis). This means it will only come fully into effect one year after its introduction. Its calculation will not be based on a specific series, as is the case with the UCI WorldTour Ranking, but on the entire UCI International Road Calendar (UCI WorldTour, UCI Continental Circuits, UCI World Championships, National and Continental Championships, Olympic Games and Continental Games). All riders who mark points in the races concerned will be part of the UCI World Ranking, including riders who are not members of UCI WorldTeams. The new UCI World Ranking was the subject of a thorough consultation process which took into account the interests and wishes of riders, teams, organisers and National Federations as well as media and fans. In addition, it reflects the most recent discussions of the UCI Road Commission and Professional Cycling Council. These modifications will not affect the UCI Continental Rankings, which will remain just as important on the continents and will continue to be calculated. On the other hand, these will now be published once a week and, like the UCI World Ranking, will take into account the 52 previous weeks according to a “rolling” system. Also new: riders from UCI WorldTeams will now feature in the UCI Continental Rankings.

Le grand prix cycliste d’Isbergues est créé en 1945, par le secrétaire général de la mairie avec l’aide de quelques commerçants pour donner une animation supplémentaire à l’occasion du raccroc de la ducasse du Pont-à-Balques. Devant le succès populaire rencontré, il est décidé de l’organiser tous les ans le 2e lundi de septembre jusqu’en 1954, où il prend sa place définitive au calendrier le 38e dimanche de l’année. Il devient officiel en 1947 avec l’appui technique du Vélo Club de Lillers, club affilié à la FFC, puis de l’US Saint-Omer en 1948 et 1949. 1950 marque un virage important : le Club Cycliste Isbergues Molinghem est créé quelques mois plus tôt, et devient l’organisateur jusqu’en 1988 où l’Association pour l’Organisation du GPI voit le jour et prend la relève. Appelé Grand Prix des commercants du Pont-à-Balques les 2 premières années, puis successivement Grand Prix de la ville d’Isbergues, Grand Prix cycliste international d’Isbergues, il devient en 2006 le Grand Prix international d’Isbergues-Pas•de•Calais. Les premières éditions sont disputées par des coureurs amateurs et indépendants. En 1949, placé sous l’égide de la FFC, il est ouvert à toutes les catégories en individuel y compris professionnelles.

ZONDAG 25 AUGUSTUS 2019 6E Manche Beker Van België | 6E Manche Coupe De Belgique Technical Guide
SCHAAL SELS MERKSEM ZONDAG 25 AUGUSTUS 2019 6e manche beker van belgië | 6e manche coupe de belgique technical guide FLANDERSEPICRACES.COM wout van aert, winnaar 2016 2 SCHAAL SELS MERKSEM Beste wielerliefhebbers, Vijftig jaar geleden zette de mens voor het eerst een voet op de maan. ‘Easy Rider’ met de betreurde Peter Fonda in de hoofdrol haalde de bioscoop. In Woodstock zette Jimi Hendrix een punt achter vier dagen love & peace. En in Parijs won Eddy Merckx zijn eerste Tour. Dat laatste exploot herinneren wij ons het best. Dagenlang stond het land op zijn kop. Wielrennen hoort bij het DNA van Vlaanderen. ‘De koers’ maakt deel uit van onze canon, de verhalen en de geschiedenis die we samen willen delen en doorgeven aan volgende generaties. Vlaanderen koestert zijn wielerhelden, onze ‘flandriens’. De jonge avonturiers die het leven en de dood in de ast ontvluchtten. En op een fiets die we vandaag geen fiets maar een loodzwaar vehikel zouden noemen in een sneeuwstorm of onder een loden zon de Galibier en de Tourmalet bedwongen. Geen enkele andere sport belichaamt de heroïek en de tragiek van het leven zo intens en heftig als ‘de koers’. Wanneer onze held Wout van Aert tijdens een tijdrit in de Tour 2019 in een spandoek blijft haperen, grijpen we allemaal bang naar ons hart. Zomer 2019 verloren we de beloftevolle klimmer Bjorg Lambrecht, nauwelijks 22 jaar jong. Over zijn geboortedorp hing een sluier van niet te stelpen en door duizenden supporters gedeeld verdriet. Het wonderbaarlijke verhaal van de wederopstanding van Stig Broeckx laat evenmin niemand onberoerd.
