He also finished on the podium at the early-season Paris–Ezy road race and finished 14th overall in the Sealink International stage race which was won by Bob Downs. However, a knee injury caused by a poorly fitted shoe plate led to a disappointing ride in Moscow, where he finished 45th. However, on return to France, August to October saw Roche win 19 races. That led to a contract with the Peugeot professional cycling team for 1981. Roche scored his first professional victory by beating Bernard Hinault in the Tour of Corsica. Less than a month later he won Paris–Nice (where he became the first, and still the only, new pro to win Paris–Nice) despite illness following the descent from Mont Ventoux and finished his debut season with victories in the Tour de Corse, Circuit d'Indre-et-Loire and Étoile des Espoirs races with a second place behind Hinault in the Grand Prix des Nations. In total, his debut yielded 10 victories. In the Giro d'Italia, Roche took three stage wins (including a team win with Carrera Jeans–Vagabond in the team time trial) en route to overall victory and became the first Giro victor from outside mainland Europe. Roche's stage wins that year in the Giro were stage 1b, the 8 km (5.0 mi) time trial downhill on the Poggio into San Remo and stage 22, a 32 km (20 mi) individual time trial into St. Vincent. Despite his stage wins, the race is remembered for the stage from Lido di Jesolo to Sappada, where Roche, contravening team orders, broke away alone early and despite being caught late in the race, had the strength to go with the counterattack and take the pink jersey from his teammate Roberto Visentini, who had been previously leading the classification. His behaviour in the stage gained him the tifosi's hatred. It was said the only member of his team that Roche could rely on not to ride against him was his domestique Eddy Schepers, although Roche recruited Panasonic riders and old ACBB teammates Robert Millar and Australian Phil Anderson to protect him with Schepers on the Marmolada climb (a day known as the "Marmolada Massacre"). Stephen Roche. A belated happy birthday to Stephen Roche, who was born on November 28, 1959. After completing his apprenticeship as a machinist at a local dairy in Dublin, and following a successful amateur career in Ireland, which included winning the Irish Junior Championship in 1977 and the Rás Tailteann in 1979, Roche joined the Athletic Club de Boulogne-Billancourt amateur cycling team in Paris to prepare for the 1980 Olympic games in Moscow. Soon after his arrival Roche won the amateur Paris–Roubaix, escaping with Dirk Demol and sprinting to victory on the track at Roubaix. Roche remembers how he was told by his directeur sportif that if he did not win “he would be sent home to Ireland that day”. He also finished on the podium at the early-season Paris–Ezy road race and finished 14th overall in the Sealink International stage race, which was won by Bob Downs. However, knee discomfort caused by a poorly fitted shoe plate led to a disappointing ride in Moscow, where he finished 45th. Upon his return to France however, Roche racked up an impressive 19 victories toward the end of the season, which led to a contract offering from the Peugeot professional cycling team for 1981. Roche scored his first professional victory that season after beating Bernard Hinault in the Tour of Corsica. Less than a month later he won Paris– Nice, where he became the first, and still the only, neo-pro to win the race. Despite suffering illness, Roche finished his debut season with victories in the Tour de Corse, Circuit d’Indre-et-Loire and Étoile des Espoirs races, along with a second place finish behind Hinault in the Grand Prix des Nations. In total, his first season yielded 10 victories for the fledgeling pro. In 1982, his best placing was second in the Amstel Gold Race behind Jan Raas. But, his rise continued in 1983 with victories in the Tour de Romandie, Grand Prix de Wallonie, Étoile des Espoirs and Paris–Bourges. Roche finished 13th in Tour de France the following year, while capping-off his season with a bronze medal in the world cycling championship at Alterheim in Zurich. Roche switched to the La Redoute team in 1984 following contractual wrangles with Peugeot (the settlement of which led Roche to sport Peugeot shorts for two years before winning a court action against Vélo Club de Paris Peugeot), reprising his Tour de Romandie victory, along with triumphs in Nice-Alassio, Subida a Arrate and a second place finish in Paris–Nice. He finished 25th in that year’s Tour de France. In 1985, Roche won the Critérium International, the Route du Sud and finished second in Paris–Nice again, while also making the podium in Liège–Bastogne–Liège with a third place finish. Additionally, Roche won stage 18 on the Aubisque in that season’s Tour de France, completing the overall podium in third – 4:29 behind winner Bernard Hinault. But, tragedy befell Roche next year, after he crashed at high speed during a six-day event at Paris-Bercy. This not only brought the curtains down on the remainder of his season, with only a stage victory in the Giro to impress his new Carrera–Inoxpran team, but the injury to his knee would serve to plague him for the rest of his career. As a result, Roche finished the Tour de France that season in a disappointing 48th place, one hour and 32 minutes behind Greg LeMond, which he described was like “entering a dark tunnel” of pain. However, the following year would prove to be Roche’s greatest, wherein he won the early season Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, took a third victory in the Tour de Romandie and fourth place plus a stage win in Paris–Nice. He also finished second in Liège–Bastogne–Liège, the closest he ever came to winning a Monument Classic . He blamed his runner-up position on tactical naiveté and “riding like an amateur”. En route to the overall victory in that season’s Giro d’Italia, Roche claimed three stage victories, including a win in the team time trial, becoming first winner of the Italian Grand Tour outside mainland Europe. Perhaps Roche’s most memorable stage victory during the Giro was the stage from Lido di Jesolo to Sappada, where he contravened team orders by commercing an early escape followed by a final counter-attack after being caught that resulted in him wresting the maglia rosa (pink jersey) from his teammate Roberto Visentini, who had been previously leading the classification. Needless to say, Roche’s move not only caught the ire of the Italian tifosi, but cost him the support of most of his teammates. In fact, Roche would later recount how the only member of his team that he could rely on for support was Eddy Schepers, while former teammates Robert Millar and Phil Anderson also helped to deliver him to victory. Roche finished the Giro exhausted, but was still in good enough form that critics considered him a favorite for the Tour de France. Following Bernard Hinault’s retirement, Laurent Fignon’s questionable form and with Greg LeMond out-of-the-picture due to an accidental shooting while hunting, the 1987 Tour de France was wide-open. It was also one of the most mountainous routes since the war, with no fewer than 25 stages. Roche began to stamp his authority on the race after winning stage 10’s Individual Time Trial stage at Futuroscope, while finishing second in stage 19. Stage 20 saw the challenging climbs of the Galibier and the Madeleine, while finishing at La Plagne.

  • 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.

  • Circuits Classiques À Vélo Patrick Cornillie Balades Près De Chez Vous
    LE GUIDE DES CIRCUITS CLASSIQUES À VÉLO PATRICK CORNILLIE BALADES PRÈS DE CHEZ VOUS Les cyclistes aident les cyclistes Ce guide a été rédigé avec le plus grand soin. Toutes les données ont été vérifiées sur place avec attention, mais elles ne sont pas immuables. Un sentier peut, en effet, être fermé pour une raison ou une autre. La signalisation peut être modifiée ou, dans le pire des cas, partiellement ou entièrement disparaître par manque d’entretien. Un arbre sur lequel a été apposée une balise peut avoir été déraciné ou abattu. Des vandales peuvent également avoir détruit des poteaux indicateurs ou des balises… Ni l’auteur ni l’éditeur ne sont responsables à cet égard. La rédaction vous serait par contre reconnaissante de lui faire part de toutes modifications aux itinéraires décrits. Ainsi, vous nous aiderez à actualiser une prochaine édition de ce guide.
