  • 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?

  • Sporting Legends: Axel Merckx
    SPORTING LEGENDS: AXEL MERCKX SPORT: CYCLING COMPETITIVE ERA: 1993 - 2007 Axel Merckx (born August 8, 1972 in Uccle, Belgium), the son of the legendary Eddy Merckx, was a professional road bicycle racer since November 1993. In 1995 he joined Team Motorola as a team-mate of the young Lance Armstrong. Despite several strong years of racing, including winning the Belgian national championship in 2000, Axel is probably still more famous for being the son of five-time Tour de France champion Eddy Merckx than for any of his cycling exploits. Despite being overshadowed by his father's formidable record, Axel has repeatedly vowed to make his mark by accomplishing feats Eddy never managed - including a Tour de France stage win at the top of Alpe d'Huez and a win in the Paris-Tours World Cup race - but has yet to make good on these promises. He has a large number of fans in Belgium, and would undoubtedly engender a great deal more goodwill if he were ever to achieve either of those elusive wins. One place where he has overshadowed his father is at the Olympic Games. A good climber, Axel is probably at his best in the mid-altitude mountain ranges, notably the Massif Central and the Ardennes. His favorite race, and the one he feels best in, is Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He is also always aiming for a Tour de France stage win, and can often be found in long breaks. His sprinting capacities are not that strong, so he is often beaten at the finish. SPORTING LEGENDS: AXEL MERCKX Merckx enjoyed his 2004 Olympic Bronze success in Athens.

    PRESENTATION 33e EDITION PRÉSENTATION 35e ÉDITION 35ème Tour de Normandie cycliste L’édito Pour la 35ème fois, le Tour de Normandie cycliste va parcourir sur les routes de notre belle région… La Normandie possède un patrimoine d’une grande diversité et d’une grande richesse… C’est dans ce décor splendide que les 24 équipes sélectionnées vont s’élancer à l’occasion du 35ème Tour de Normandie. Cette compétition cycliste de grande envergure est prisée par les équipes du monde entier… Tant par sa position idéale dans le calendrier international, que par la qualité du travail réalisé depuis 1981. Le parcours emprunté par le peloton a été tracé de manière à ce que le spectacle soit le plus beau possible. Même si ce sont les coureurs qui font le scénario de l’épreuve, le tracé de ce Tour de Normandie 2015 est fait pour que chacun puisse s’exprimer. Rouleurs, baroudeurs, grimpeurs et sprinteurs auront tous leur mot à dire au cours des 7 jours de courses. Un temps menacée en raison de l’application d’un décret sur la présence des forces de l’ordre pour sécuriser les 1031,600 km du parcours 2015, l’épreuve va de nouveau se dérouler du 23 au 29 mars prochain. Le travail des bénévoles, l’engagement des collectivités (Régions, Préfectures, Départements, Communauté de communes et Villes étapes), le soutien des partenaires privés font du Tour de Normandie cycliste l’un des plus grands moments de sport en Normandie chaque année. Cette fête est aussi sportive et c’est cette union qui fait que l’épreuve proposée attire tout au long des routes des cinq départements un public nombreux.
