  • 'Life Goes On' for NBC Sports's Tour Team
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling ‘Life Goeshttps://www.theouterline.com on’ for NBC Sports’s Tour Team Following Sherwen’s Tragic Death When the Tour de France coverage kicks off on NBC Sports Network this weekend, it will mark the first time in 33 years that an English speaking audience will not hear the voice and sage insights of Paul Sherwen, who passed away in December, 2018. Long-time insider and supporting desk presenter Bob Roll will join the venerable Phil Liggett in front of the live commentary box cameras when coverage starts from Brussels, Belgium, Saturday, July 6. The transition would appear natural in light of Roll’s veteran experience in the booth and rapport with both personalities, and his deep historical cycling knowledge. Behind the scenes, NBC faces a daunting task to elevate its production game due to the expected impacts of Sherwen’s absence. “Bob knows he can never fill Paul’s shoes. Bob will simply have to cobble together a new pair,” said NBC’s Producer David Michaels, who has helmed the Tour’s American telecast since 2011. “Bob’s had a bit of experience working mano à mano with Phil. He brings a different energy and perspective. Bob grows with each broadcast. Can’t think of anyone out there who could go hour upon hour alongside Phil except Bob.” Michaels has an unprecedented perspective on his side. He began his storytelling of the Tour de France in the mid-1980s with CBS (his brother, Al, is widely known for his work in rival network ABC) and helped bring Greg LeMond’s famous 1985 and 1986 duels with teammate Bernard Hinault to the American audience.

  • EL MUNDO Biografía No Autorizada De Alberto Contador (Solomillo
    EL MUNDO Biografía no autorizada de Alberto Contador (solomillo incluido) 7/08/2017 Luis Fernando López Podría ocurrir: Alberto Contador, en su última carrera y en su último día, el próximo 10 de septiembre, sube al podio final de la Vuelta a España y el público le abuchea. Podría ocurrir, pero no va a ocurrir; no veremos a Contador sufrir una escena como las vividas estos días en el Mundial de atletismo, donde el público ha despreciado a Gatlin por su pasado de dopaje con recurrentes pitadas (el silencio a veces es más sonoro). No es el público español más respetuoso que el inglés, no, pues también aquí gusta mucho silbar; basta repasar las finales de Copa del Rey, el cariño que una parte de la grada le dispensa a Piqué cuando acude con la selección o algunas sinfonías antes de partidos de La Roja (oé, oé). Pero a Contador no se le pitará. Madrid/España no es Londres. Y bien está. Pero, ¿le aplaudimos como si nada? Más preguntas: ¿Tiene derecho al perdón quien se ha dopado? Si somos capaces de 'olvidar' crímenes u ofensas mayores, ¿por qué no íbamos a hacerlo con un deportista que se equivocó/nos engañó una vez? Pero, claro, depende. ¿Cuántas veces se equivocó y nos engañó Contador? Una noche de julio de 2006, apenas un mes después de ser detenido en la 'operación Puerto' como cabecilla de una trama de dopaje, Eufemiano Fuentes, un 'teórico' de las autotransfusiones con EPO, acudió a 'El Larguero' para explicarse, al fin. De lo que dijo, a quien esto escribe, que es periodista pero no de los especializados en ciclismo, le sorprendió algo.

    Consejero de Cultura y Turismo de la Junta de Castilla y León La crisis sanitaria provocada por la Covid-19 ha condicionado nuestras vidas y nuestra actividad diaria. El deporte no ha sido ajeno a esta situación pero, poco a poco, hemos sabido adaptarnos, hemos podido practicarlo y hemos logrado realizar eventos deportivos, con más o menos restricciones, pero intentando siempre no paralizar nuestro deporte. A partir de marzo de 2020, la pandemia provocó la suspensión de muchos eventos cuya preparación estaba en marcha. Uno de ellos fue la Vuelta Ciclista a Castilla y León para ciclistas internacionales. La previsión era dar la salida en el mes de abril, pero, ante la evolución de la situación sanitaria, se decidió no celebrar la prueba a lo largo de 2020. Sin embargo, desde hace meses, se ha venido trabajando en retomar su celebración en 2021, tomando la decisión de realizar una prueba de una etapa, que recorrerá la provincia de León el 29 de julio, con salida en León capital Javier Ortega Álvarez y llegada en Ponferrada. Su recorrido por tierras del Camino de Santiago en este Año Jacobeo, lleno de belleza paisajística y monumental, no dejará indiferentes a los aficionados y, sin duda, animará a visitar esta tierra y a probar la rica y variada gastronomía leonesa y berciana. Este año, la edición será ya la número XXXV y una vez más, contaremos con una prueba de gran nivel deportivo, con varios equipos World Tour y numerosos equipos internacionales, así como con la perfecta organización a la que nos tiene acostumbrados el Club Ciclista Cadalsa.
