MOSER: Dare to Win >>Now on Itunes & Amazon Instant! MOSER: Dare to Win >>Now on iTunes & Amazon Instant! The iconic Italian cyclist Francesco Moser is a legend on two wheels, born and raised in Trentino, Italy, but renowned all over the world. Nicknamed 'Lo sceriffo' (The Sheriff), Moser was dominant from the mid-1970s to the mid-80s, winning the 1977 World Championships, Paris-Roubaix (three times straight), Milan-San Remo, the Giro d'Italia, and dozens of other important races. At the end of his career he broke Eddy Merckx's long-standing hour record in Mexico City. The filmmakers look back at his amazing career, from humble origins to becoming a great champion, and then proceed to follow the charismatic 'campione' (now 67) over the course of a year, creating a unique portrait of the man, his family and the small town (Palù di Giovo) he still lives in. "A no-holds-barred portrait of the great champion who tells the story of his life and career in an unexpected way," explains director Nello Correale. An exceptional human adventure story, Moser: Dare to Win reveals Moser's deep bond with his homeland and retraces his feats in the company of fellow iconic champions Eddy Merckx, Giuseppi Saronni and Bernard Hinault. { Bicycle Film Festival - Official Selection } *** Just in time for the 2019 Giro d'Italia! *** Directed by Nello Correale | 82 minutes, color, 2018 | In Italian with English subtitles Visit our website to download artwork, sales sheets & more >> www.firstrunfeatures.com Contact Info Press Information: Juliet Lamond | [email protected] | 212-243-0600 x10 or Kelly Hargraves | [email protected] Digital sales: John Bione | [email protected] | 212-243-0600 x13 Screening / Educational rights: Marc Mauceri | [email protected] | 212-243-0600 x20 .

  • Eddy Merckx Chm Carbon Ally See Any of This Anyway
    road test - eddy merckx chm carbon ally see any of this anyway. as seems to be the fashion with every frame made from carbon these days, the bottom bracket seems enormous, especially on such an apparently diminutive frame, and now that the big two have gone for external bearings and oversized bb axles (in this case, a campag centaur ultra torq) it seems that everyone is worried that chris hoy might have a shot of their bikes. for someone who is spindly of stature, this seems like fashion overkill, but hey ho. the top tube did exactly the same as the down tube - moved from a vertically oval shape to a horizontally oval tube, which looked tremendously cool on the top tube because it was almost flat by the time it joined the seat tube. the down tube would have given a cannondale a good run for its money in terms of size, but the frame- set looked perfectly balanced overall, even if it initailly you would sort of wonder whether it’s a great idea to looked way too small for me to pedal. ask a confirmed colnago owner/aficionado to review a the fork was sort of midway between curved and bike not made by ernesto, because there’s a danger that straight, smoothly blending into the head tube by the all i’m going to do is compare one with the other. well, i iplementation of an fsa integrated headset. i must say wished not to fulfil this stereotype during my three day that i am not in favour of integrated headset (neither ride to paris on an eddy merckx chm full carbon frame, is chris king) - not because they don’t work: they do, and i hope i have managed to achieve this.

  • “La Moserissima” Beppe Saronni Torna in Sella Con Moser!
    Comunicato Stampa del 6 luglio 2017 INCREDIBILE A “LA MOSERISSIMA” BEPPE SARONNI TORNA IN SELLA CON MOSER! Sabato alle ore 8.30 a Trento partenza della terza “La Moserissima” Beppe Saronni, eterno rivale di Francesco Moser, al via della ciclostorica In serata dalle ore 20 tutti in centro storico a Trento per la new entry del Tridentum Crit Fino a domenica Expo de “La Leggendaria Charly Gaul - UCI Gran Fondo World Series” “La Moserissima” andrà in scena sabato 8 luglio a Trento con partenza alle ore 8.30 nell’ambito degli appuntamenti de “La Leggendaria Charly Gaul – UCI Gran Fondo World Series 2017”, organizzati dall’APT Trento, Monte Bondone, Valle dei Laghi ed ASD Charly Gaul Internazionale. Una ciclostorica sempre ricca di fascino ed entusiasmo da parte di tutti i cicloamatori vintage e di tanti campioni che hanno fatto la storia delle due ruote, i quali si cimenteranno lungo i percorsi di 94 km e 943 metri di dislivello e di 57 km e 590 metri di dislivello, con partenza ed arrivo in Piazza Duomo a Trento, e le Cantine Moser, Cavit e il bicigrill di Faedo adibiti a meritate pause pronte a dissetare e rifocillare. E pensare che, incredibile ma vero, alla terza edizione dell’evento firmato da Francesco Moser e dall’organizzazione trentina ci sarà proprio quel Beppe Saronni che, fino a qualche decennio fa, sarebbe stato impensabile vedere fianco a fianco con Moser in un qualsiasi evento, vista l’accesa rivalità negli occhi dei due. Il dualismo fra Moser e Saronni fu un ‘toccasana’ per il ciclismo degli anni ’70-’80, una rivalità che non si vedeva dai tempi di Coppi e Bartali.

  • Paris-Roubaix 1983

Although victory had eluded him on his previous ten attempts, Kuiper still regarded the Queen of the Classics as ‘his’ race. Paris-Roubaix, or the Hell of the North as it is also known, featured all the competitive ingredients he loved: an ordeal that only a rider with unimaginable perseverance and equally unimaginable willpower could withstand. The distance alone – between 255 and 265 kilometres as a rule – is enough to separate the men from the boys before the starting gun has even sounded. And the course itself, around 60 kilometres of which runs over ruthless stretches of cobbles, wears the riders down. The ride from Paris to Roubaix is a journey into pain. Rattling over those bald lumps of stone is hell on the joints. Your wrists, backside, and of course your legs are tested to breaking point. The weather often plays a decisive role, especially when the heavens open and mud from the sodden fields seeps onto the road. Road spatters leave many a rider peering out from behind a clay mask, as they slip, slide, tumble, get back up again, and doggedly give chase.

  • Ranking the Greatest Cyclists of All Time
    The Outer Line The External Perspective On Pro Cycling Rankinghttps://www.theouterline.com The Greatest Cyclists Of All Time Who are the greatest male cyclists of all time? That would make a good trivia question at the cycling club’s annual dinner, and it’s sure to provide fodder for unending debate. Think about it: How many of us in America know enough cycling history to even come up with five good names? Sure, you could list the men who have won five Tours de France: Anquetil, Merckx, Hinault, and Induráin. (I’m omitting Armstrong, whose seven victories were officially annulled.) But that’s only four names. And Le Tour, of course, is only one race. Most of us don’t know our cycling like we know our baseball. Any baseball fan past infancy knows the names Ruth and Gehrig, Mantle and Mays, Clemens and Bonds. But American cycling fans would be hard- pressed, I think, to remember — let alone spell — the names Joop Zoetemelk and Roger de Vlaeminck. Both of those men, as it turns out, probably belong on any list of all-time greats. Zoetemelk was a Dutch ironman who started and finished the Tour 16 times (and won it once). De Vlaeminck was a Belgian steam engine who won the brutal Paris-Roubaix four times, the marathon Milano-Sanremo three times, and Tirreno-Adriatico, the Race of the Two Seas, six times. I know all of this thanks to CyclingRanking.com, a well-researched and well-documented site that attempts to list, in order, the greatest professional men’s cyclists of all time.The site is a labor of love by a Dutch family that started out as a kitchen-table exercise in the 1970s, and it will humble even the most studious cycling fans.
