  • 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.

    14 > 15 | ANTÓNIO MOTA Sentou-se num banco de pedra e retirou com muitos vaga- res o papel pardo que embrulhava o prémio. Um silêncio imenso tomou conta do recreio.O papel embrulhava um livro que tinha na capa o seguinte título: AS AVENTURAS DE PINÓQUIO: NOVELA INFANTIL CONTADA ÀS CRIANÇAS. A Leonor, silenciosa como uma borboleta, leve como um pintassilgo e rápida como um avião, tinha ganho um livro, uma coisa que não se comia e nunca tinha fim! Nunca mais assisti a uma corrida tão empolgante. Uma corrida inesquecível. GABRIEL, O CARAPAU DE CORRIDA A casa dos avós fica no campo, numa aldeia pequenina. Da cidade, onde Gabriel mora, são, pelo 2 menos, três horas de carro, primeiro por autoestrada, depois pela nacional e por fim pela estrada que desemboca numa rua larga que atravessa a povoação de lés a lés. A casa dos avós é uma das últimas da rua, numa fila de casas. É uma casa térrea com uma cercadura azul, duas janelas e a porta também azuis, com a fachada e a chaminé caiadas. As divisões são pequenas e compridas; lá dentro cheira a alfazema e roupa lavada, posta a corar. Nas traseiras, há uma horta com tomates, pés de feijão, cou- ves. O cágado Tobias passeia-se, molengão, nos regos. Um limoeiro cresceu à entrada da arrecadação, mesmo ao fundo, encostado ao muro, perto do portão que dá para as traseiras. Gabriel gosta dos avós, mas não lhe agrada nada a ideia de ir passar lá as férias durante todo o mês de agosto.

  • Le Tour De France
    1 Local Culture Report: Le Tour de France Guillaume Lemaˆıtre Heriot-Watt University, Universitat de Girona, Universite´ de Bourgogne [email protected] I. INTRODUCTION The Tour de France is ”Grand Tour” equivalent of the Vuelta Espana or the Giro di Italia. However, the Tour de France is the most popular race in the world without hesitation. In the mind of racers, it is more important to win a Tour de France than a world championship. Win Tour de France shows polyvalent qualities of the winner. II. HISTORY A. Creation of the Tour de France The foundations of the Tour de France takes place on a national French scandal. At the end of the year 1984, Alfred Dreyfus who was captain in the French army at this time and by the way was Jew, was convicted to have given secret information to Germans. After several years and several justice judgements, it was proved that Alfred Dreyfus was not the author of the supposed high teason. However, France was separated in two parts: the dreyfusards and the antidreyfusards. The second important fact was that at this time, it was existing only one sport newspaper named ”Le Velo”. Pierre Giffard, the editor-in-chief, was politically committed and was writing in his sheet to denfend Dreyfus. However, his newspaper was financed through the advertisement by car industrials who were antidreyfusard. The Comte de Dion, who was the representative of car industrials, chose Henry Desgrange in order to create a rival newspaper named ”L’Auto-Velo”. A feature of this sheet is that it was published on a yellow paper which will be the colour of the leader jersey of the Tour de France.
