  • If You're Lucky Enough to Be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St
    ICA Theme Profile If You're Lucky Enough to be Irish, You're Lucky Enough! St. Patrick’s Day Celebration Created by: Richard Mullins Working intensity: moderate to very hard Length: 50 minutes Concept Behind the Profile Ireland has a population of 5 million people, but 70 million people call it home. We are the friendly Irish and we are the fighting Irish! I’ve picked several key moments in Irish culture that got Ireland noticed across the world and tied them into working intervals of varying duration. The terrain of Ireland is constantly changing, so be prepared for terrain that could always shift under your feet! The scope of this profile is to work below threshold, then at threshold, and finally give riders the option to work above threshold. When you ask a tourist about Ireland or if you think about how Ireland is perceived outside of our small isle, we are, in many cases, associated with the colour green, Guinness, and anything else that fits a stereotype. All one has to do is look at any tourist T-shirt! Let’s think beyond these stereotypes; Ireland has thrown herself into the world arena many times over the last few years (and before that) in the areas of dance, film, music, economics, and politics. These pivotal moments have slowly changed how we are perceived in the world. As the ride begins, I do like to mention a few quotes that various film and TV characters around the world have referenced about Ireland to lighten the mood. I will include some at the very end of this profile.

  • 5. L'hospitalet I La Volta Ciclista a Catalunya
    3. CHospitalet i la Volta Ciclista a Catalunya. Una relació que mereix ser explicada La relació de I'Hospitalet amb la Volta Ciclista a Catalunya i amb els seus organitza- dors -la Unió Esportiva de Sants- és forqa intensa durant bona part d'aquest segle i mereix un apartat especific en aquest repas de la historia al voltant de les bicicletes. A finals de la primera decada d'aquest segle. el Tour de Franca ja havia cobrat una fama important dins del món del ciclisme i era un estimul per a tots ells. El 13 d'oc- tubre de 1910 va apareixer a El Mundo Deportivo la primera crida pera I'organitza- ció d'una «Volta a Catalunya en bicicleta». En aquell moment, els organitzadors -el Club Deportivo, de Barcelona- van optar per fer-la entre el 6 i el 8 de gener del 1911. en ple hivern. Van participar 44 corredors i plovia intensament quan es va donar la sortida. Les bicicletes pesaven 14 quilos. El Club Deportivo va organitzar la Volta fins I'any 1913. Després d'un parentesi for~atper la Primera Guerra Mundial, la Unión Velocipédica Española (la federació) va reprendre I'organització de la Volta, que per primera vegada registra una participació internacional. La prova tindria un nou parentesi en els anys 21 i 22, i el 1923 seria ja la Unió Sportiva Sans I'encarrega- da de la seva organització. La Volta, ja sempre organitzada pel Sants. no ha fallat més que en els anys 1937 i 1938 per culpa de la Guerra Civil.

  • Breu Història De La “Volta”
    BREU HISTÒRIA DE LA “VOLTA” La “Volta” Ciclista a Catalunya coneguda com la “Volta” va complir 100 anys l’any 2011 i enguany ha estat la seva 95a edició. Ha superat 2 Guerres Mundials i la Guerra Civil Espanyola i ha conviscut amb governs de monarquia, república o dictadura a l’Estat Espanyol; i ha tingut el suport de la Generalitat de Catalunya. La continuïtat en aquestes variades circumstàncies polítiques són la millor prova de l’arrelament que té al nostre país i que va mes enllà d’un esdeveniment esportiu. A l’inici del segle XX el ciclisme i l’esport en general era practicat per les classes benestants que creuen que Catalunya es mereix una prova similar al “Tour” de França que havia disputat la seva primera edició el 1903. El Club Deportivo de Barcelona fa seva la idea i assumeix l’organització de la 1a “Volta” que comença un dia molt fred de 1911; el 6 de gener, on el que avui és el Passeig de la Reina Elisenda a l’antiga vila de Sarrià. Va comptar amb 34 participants en una edició de 3 etapes: Barcelona–Tarragona; Tarragona‐Lleida i Lleida–Barcelona amb un total de i 363 Km. Van acabar 22 ciclistes i el guanyador va ser el tarraconense Sebastià Masdéu. El total de premis de la 1a edició fou de 1.700 pessetes, en aquesta última edició ha estat de 109.500 € (18.219.267 ptes.). El Club Deportivo de Barcelona segueix amb l’organització mantenint les tres etapes, però canviant les dates per evitar las baixes temperatures.

  • Love Him Or Hate Him, Valverde Is the Best Male Rider of the Post
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling Love Himhttps://www.theouterline.com or Hate Him, Valverde Is the Best Male Rider of the Post- Armstrong Era There are few riders in professional cycling more successful – or more divisive – than Movistar’s Alejandro Valverde Belmonte. First showing up as an amateur racer in 1989 at the age of nine, the Spanish rider turned pro in 2002, and came of age during cycling’s infamous EPO era. In 2005, he joined the Illes Balears-Banesto team, the organization he has remained with for fifteen years – a remarkable tenure with one team given the transfer-happy nature of pro cycling today. Snagged in the 2006 Operacion Puerto doping dragnet, Valverde quietly served a two-year suspension in 2010 and 2011, but has since come back with a vengeance. Over the course of his career, Valverde has racked up a total of 127 race wins, overall victory at the Vuelta, eight additional grand tour podiums, four Liege-Bastogne-Liege victories, five wins at Fleche Wallone, eleven podiums in the Spanish national championships, six podiums in other cycling Monuments, and more than a dozen podiums in other stage races to name just a few of his accomplishments. And he reached a new peak last year at Innsbruck last year, becoming the second oldest racer ever, at age 38, to win the World Championships. And if you look behind the well-known races and all the familiar statistics with which most cycling fans are familiar, the breadth of Valverde’s palmares is even more astonishing.

  • Road Cycling TV Viewing Report 2019
    Road Cycling TV Viewing Report 2019 Prof. Dr. Daam Van Reeth KU Leuven, Faculty of Economics & Business Campus Brussels, Belgium mail: [email protected] twitter: @vrdaam INTRODUCTION • This report presents an analysis of TV viewership for professional road cycling in 14 major TV markets (13 countries) for cycling: Australia, Belgium (Flanders / Wallonia), Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. This is the same number of countries as last year because, in spite of many efforts, we were unlucky to find sources or contact persons in new markets. Any help in this respect is very welcome. • The analysis is based on a self‐constructed dataset containing detailed TV viewership information for about 1900 broadcasts of cycling races in 2019 including over 70 broadcasts of women’s pro cycling races and approximately 400 Tour de France broadcasts. Our dataset contains about 200 observations more than in 2018. • Information for this report was mainly collected from public sources. For some markets though the inside help from journalists and media people was needed and highly appreciated. I want to explicitly thank all of them for their contribution. • For regular updates on TV audiences, follow my twitter‐account @vrdaam.If you have any questions, found some mistakes or if you would like to get in touch with me, send me a mail: [email protected]. • The report contains 4 parts while the main findings are summarized on page 50: o Tour de France TV report (pages 3‐16) o Women’s pro cycling TV report (pages 17‐26) o TV audience dashboards per country (pages 27‐46) o Overview tables (pages 47‐49) 1.
