azi a avut loc prezentarea turului frantei 2012. e un tur cu mai putine etape cu final in catarare, insa care are 96 de km de contratimp. si care credeti ca tur va fi mai interesant anul viitor, il giro sau le tour ?
Daca ai fi vazut traseul din Giro nu cred ca mai trebuia sa intrebi.Giro va fi clar mult peste.
n-a fost sa fie. giro n-a fost foarte misto anul trecut
ce multe chestii s-au pierdut. threadul 'se strange lance-ul' cred ca pe aici era. a admis, in fine a admis.

Iata si o postarea vechea, dar cat se poate de actuala, despre Lance si nu numai si doping:
"2nd July 2005, 22:23 miril
Imi pare bine pentru Basso care a facut progrese vizibile la contratimp, iar contratimpul pe echipe nu va fi de...Discovery Channel, avand in vedere ca CSC este foarte puternica. Nu vreau sa duc discutii polemice pe forum daca Lance s-a dopat/dopeaza sau nu, un singur lucru pot spune, cand alergatorii greci sau din spatiul sovietic se prezentau direct la CM, CE sau JO se discuta cu aprindere si pe buna dreptate despre posibilitatea dopajului, dar cand Lance nu concureaza decat foarte sporadic, anul acesta mai putin ca oricand, in timp ce ceilalti participa normal si la alte curse, toate lumea accepta ca texanul "se pregateste pentru Le Tour". Imi aduc amninte refuzul categoric al acestuia de a nu participa la JO. Era competitia "insignifianta" sau este Lance mai intelept decat Hamilton? Cat despre uzina de medici si cercatatori aflati in jurul teamului texanului nimeni nu indrazneste sa discute si sa se apropie. De ce? Lance este "o masina perfecta de facut averi uriase" cu ajutorul tehnologiei medicale ultramoderne. Secretul succesului trebuie pastrat cu orice pret. Daca mitul invincibilitatii lui Lance ar fi spulberat de un scandal banal de doping ar fi o tragedie pentru ciclism si pentru credibilitatea sportului in general. De aceea vrem si vom avea un invingator unic ca mitul invincibilitatii sa persiste. Majoritatea cred in el, eu personal ma indoiesc".

m-am uitat eu la Giro...a fost una din cele mai reusite editii, cu etape frumoase
Pe bune?A fost la ani lumina de editia din 2010 si mai slaba si decat aia din 2009.Intr-adevar a fost mai buna ca editia de anu' trecut dar nici nu era greu sa fie asa.
Au fost o gramada de catarari importante anulate,de etapa de la Val Martello nici nu mai zic.Vremea a fost oribila.Mie nu mi s-a parut o editie atat de frumoasa.Ma asteptam mult mai mult de la etapele montane.Etapa cu Galibier cel putin a fost dezastrouasa.
acum depinde de punctul de vedere al fiecaruia...sincer mi-as fi dorit mai multe catarari importante...dar dupa cum vezi si vremea a fost de asa natura incat sa nu se poata desfasura unele etape

Nu participa.Va alerga in schimb in Vuelta pentru a se pregati pentru mondialele de la Florenta.

santambrogio prins cu epo. Parca auzim si de nibali peste vreo luna ca prea s-a tinut bine la contratimp
[I]În timp ce Luceafărul brânzei își revarsă lumina hepatică la televizor, Steaua se stinge ca o lumânare, în cel mai tragic priveghi public pe care l-a cunoscut sportul românesc[/I]
Nah....Inca de cand era junior Nibali era perceput ca un mare talent.In 2007 deja rupea muntii pentru Di Luca in Giro.santambrogio prins cu epo. Parca auzim si de nibali peste vreo luna ca prea s-a tinut bine la contratimp
Santambrogio pana in Tirreno anu' asta a fost inexistent.La BMC avea o singura cursa buna pe an,in Giro di Lombardia care era si cursa lui de casa.In rest tot anul era absent.Anul asta insa a fost in forma inca de la inceputul anului.In Tirreno si in Trentino a aratat ca om care poate sa urce pe podium in Giro.Santambrogio toata viata a fost un puncheur nicidecum un catarator cum a devenit anu' asta.
Sper sa nu se desfinteze Vini Fantini dupa suspendarile lui Di Luca si Santambrogio.Scinto a zis ca probabil este sfarsitul proiectului.Sper sa nu fie asa.
Neah.santambrogio prins cu epo. Parca auzim si de nibali peste vreo luna ca prea s-a tinut bine la contratimp
Si mie mi-ar parea rau de Vini sa se desfinteze insa este foarte probabil. Deja au renuntat la participarea in Turul Lombardiei. Pana la urma insa in afara de cei 2 mentionati mai sus niciun rutier de la aceasta echipa nu a fost macar la un nivel decent in Turul Italiei, a fost mai mult hype inaintea fiecarei etape, dar pe sosea cam nimic.

Evidenta este pusa acum si in cuvinte si reflecta ce a vazut o majoritate anul trecut in Le Tour (Sir):
Sir Bradley Wiggins marginalised as Chris Froome goes from strength to strength The Times Owen Slot
At the Châtel ski station in the Haute-Savoie mountains in France, Chris Froome and the team-mates who will start the Tour de France with him a fortnight from today have been putting the finishing touches to their campaign. Wives and partners have been welcome. The atmosphere has been buoyant.
If you are wondering where the first British Tour de France winner is, the national treasure with the sideburns, he has been training solo in Majorca, Spain, about 1,000 kilometres south of Châtel, although he could not be farther from the picture if he tried.
From those heights of 2012, it is as if Sir Bradley Wiggins has fallen off a cliff. The question, now, is where he will land. We know that he will not ride this year’s Tour de France. In the Welcome to Yorkshire offices, where they are busy making preparations for the county to host the start of the 2014 Tour, they are fretting about whether he will be there for that. Certainly, you cannot say for sure whether Wiggins will lead Team Sky in a Grand Tour again.
The simmering power struggle at the top of Team Sky has swung so dramatically in Froome’s favour in recent weeks that the team have offered him a contract extension. His present deal ties him in for another year, but the offer of an extension shows that Sky see him as the future — and they would be mad if they did not.
Other teams see him as the future, too. No official approach is legal until after August 1, but Froome has had a number of opposition team managers fluttering their eyelids at him since last summer.
Rumours spilt into print last month, when La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian sports newspaper, linked Froome with BMC. Although BMC are top-heavy with general classification top dogs (Cadel Evans, Tejay van Garderen), they have made their long-term interest known.
This is all leverage for Froome, although nothing buys favour as much as form and, with four wins from five races this year, the Briton is making himself invaluable. At 28, he is also five years younger than Wiggins and he is low maintenance. Froome is a very manageable athlete, whereas Wiggins has been deciding this year which training camps he will or will not attend. Froome is also more consistent; Wiggins has up years and down years. And Froome’s performances are flatlining at a very high level.
So Sky now see Froome as their future. But also their present. And when you factor in Richie Porte, Froome’s close friend and training partner, you wonder where Wiggins fits in.
Porte is being groomed as another Grand Tour leader and he wants to lead Team Sky in the Giro d’Italia next year. Unless Froome seriously messes up the forthcoming Tour de France, he will surely lead Sky in the 2014 Tour.
Where does that leave Wiggins? Apparently showing some very good form in Majorca. Which raises the question: could he not have ridden the Tour de France after all? And why withdraw him from selection a month before the race started? Why not give him the opportunity to prove his fitness after the knee injury? The blogosphere has been po****ted with conspiracy theorists doubting the veracity of the knee problem. He had, after all, been riding four hours a day before the news of the injury broke. Given the antipathy between Wiggins and Froome, this seemed the most convenient of injuries.
However, it was not made up. The diagnosis came from a knee specialist in Leeds. But it also triggered a notably hasty withdrawal of Wiggins from Tour de France consideration — and allowed Sky to pursue a Tour campaign without factions and disharmony on the team bus.
What does a superstar cyclist do, then, when left on the outside of a Tour campaign? The obvious answer would be to lead Sky’s assault on the Vuelta a España in August. However, Wiggins has made it clear that he does not want to do that.
Sky could insist. He is, after all, their highest-paid employee. But he is not malleable.
So that appears to rule out the Vuelta. If you then look ahead — with Porte likely to lead the 2014 Giro team and Froome set to lead the 2014 Tour team — it becomes reasonable to ask if Wiggins will lead a Sky team in a Grand Tour again. Will the Tour de France winner even ride again in that race? And have we seen the best of him?
Wiggins’s answer will come at the World Championships in Florence in September, when the time-trial remains his big ambition. However, that is a national event in which Wiggins will be representing British Cycling. When he will lead Team Sky again in a significant event is impossible to know.
No case for the defence
René Pottier won the Tour de France in 1906 but committed suicide the January after winning his yellow jersey when he discovered his wife had taken a lover while he was away at the Tour.
Fausto Coppi won two Tours de France, in 1949 and 1952. Not only did he not defend the second title, he never even rode the race again, concentrating instead on the Giro.
Greg LeMond won three Tours de France but did not return to defend his first, the 1986 triumph, when he was shot in a hunting accident. Came back to win in 1989 and 1990.
Stephen Roche won in 1987, the year the Irishman also won the Giro and the world title. Could not defend in 1988 because of a knee injury.
Alberto Contador was unable to defend the 2007 title as his team, Astana, were refused an invitation to compete because of their history of doping.

Turul Dunării pe bicicletă cu Cycling Romania (23 iunie - 9 iulie 2013)
Pe scurt, este vorba de o expediție care pornește la drum din două puncte: un grup de cicloturiști ia startul din municipiul Călărași, mergând spre vest pe șoseaua cea mai apropiată de cursul Dunării, iar alt grup pleacă din Oravița și se îndreaptă spre est. Cele două grupuri ar urma să se întâlnească după o lungă săptămână de pedalat la Portul Cultural Cetate, lângă Calafat, unde să petreacă încă o săptămână de voie bună la conacul lui Dinescu.

Facem thread separat pentru TdF sau nu mai intereseaza pe nimeni nici cea mai mare competitie de ciclism din lume?
eu zic ca nu are rost sa facem un thread separat...vom posta aici, iar topicurile off sa fie sterse de un moderator...asadar maine incepe editia centenara a TdF...favoriti, din punctul meu de vedere ii vad pe Froome, Contador si de ce nu Schleck(favoritul meu de altfel)
