GALIBIER CHALLENGE

A Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne, le 4 juin 2023

Direction la haute montagne ce week-end pour la première cyclosportive alpestre de la saison, la Galibier Challenge qui fête sa 3eme édition. L’épreuve propose au menu le col du Galibier tout fraichement ouvert à la circulation après les opérations de déneigement même si cette fois ci il faudra se contenter d’une arrivée au niveau du tunnel, la face nord du dernier kilomètre n’ayant pu être déneigée à temps suite aux mauvaises conditions météo de cette année (ce qui n’est pas surprenant). Comme sur la quasi-totalité des épreuves maintenant, l’organisation propose une course gravel le samedi et les épreuves route le dimanche avec soit la montée sèche Télégraphe-Galibier soit la cyclosportive proposant un format court de 110km et 3350m D+ (mais seulement 75km chronométrés puisque la redescente sur St-Michel-de-Maurienne se fait librement).

Arrivée sur place la veille je rencontre une nouvelle contrariété au niveau des dossards : j’ai le N°13 et par superstition je n’aime pas ça ! Très gentiment et sans difficulté l’organisation accepte ma demande de pouvoir en changer en me donnant le N°9. Puis le soir c’est la météo qui s’en mêle avec la pluie qui tombe à compter de 19h : cela dure toute la soirée et les prévisions sont bien incertaines tant et si bien que je m’attends à des routes trempées le lendemain matin et la possibilité de brouillard plus le froid en altitude où 6-7° maxi seraient annoncés au sommet ; bref après un intermède chaud et ensoleillée la semaine dernière, on retombe dans ce temps perturbé qui commence à durer…

Au réveil la bonne surprise est qu’il ne pleut pas et que ça semble même avoir bien séché : il ne fait même pas trop froid et des éclaircies devraient tenir jusqu’à midi au moins. Je décide de partir léger mais laisse tout de même un sac avec vêtements chauds dans la voiture prévu à cet effet qui montera nos bagages au sommet. Après quelques minutes à roulotter direction la ligne de départ bien fournie : l’épreuve à fait le plein avec 500 inscrits Je rencontre Loïc Ruffaut peu avant et j’ai pu repérer quelques noms connus à surveiller comme Guillaume Janvier, Kenty Blanc ou Johann de Oliveira pour ceux que je connais le plus. En pole position le départ est donnée à 8h45, neutralisé pour la sortie de ville et très vite la course part sans temps mort avec déjà Loïc à la manœuvre. Entre gros tempo et seuil ça part fort et après 3 kms grosse attaque de Loïc : même pas je pense à y aller mais lorsque je vois 2-3 coureurs tenter de suivre alors je fais l’effort : à bloc ça ne rentre pas et je n’ose pas relancer la chose quand ça se calme. Loïc creuse lentement l’écart avant la montée de la Fusine.

L’homme de tête encore en point de mire, beaucoup semblent vouloir revenir et ça grimpe assez fort (même un peu plus fort que l’an dernier où on avait pourtant attaqué et crée l’échappée ici !). A 5w/kg avec des pointes à 6, je ne suis pas aérien et subit cette montée alors qu’une petite trentaine de gars vont passer au sommet. Mal placé je subis aussi dans la descente et 6-7 gars on pris de l’avance lorsqu’on rejoint la D1006 : heureusement sur cette route large et en faux plat descendant nous ramenant sur St-Michel, ça roule fort et je fini moi-même le travail pour raccrocher les wagons en traversant la ville. Après quelques mots échangés avec Guillaume où on est bien d’accord sur le fait que ça ne tiendra pas longtemps à ce rythme, la transition est très rapide et nous voilà déjà au pied du Col de Beau Plan.

Les 11kms à 6,5% de ce col devrait déjà rendre un 1er verdict et je ne suis pas si confiant que ça au début où ça grimpe encore fort : autour des 5w/kg on perd vite du monde pour se retrouver une petite vingtaine avant que l’allure se calme à cause de quelqu’un sur le bord de la route hurlant à son coureur que ce n’était pas à lui de faire le tempo ! Après ce petit moment de flottement je décide de durcir l’allure pour voir un peu : on prend quelques longueurs à 2 mais je ne préfère pas trop insister voyant les autres ne pas vouloir laisser partir facilement. Il en va ainsi jusqu’au sommet où Kenty met une bonne accélération avant la descente : pas mal placé cette fois j’arrive à rester dans le sillage des 6-7 meilleurs de l’exercice avant une sensation suspecte à la relance d’un virage ; le temps de vérifier que tout va bien, j’ai cédé quelques longueurs et finit par perdre le contact à l’entrée de St-Michel. Je récupère un bidon auprès de mes parents au pied du télégraphe où je dois avoir 20’’ de retard : pas grand-chose avec ce qui nous attends : plus de 30km de montée jusqu’au géant des Alpes !

D’abord ce col du Télégraphe donc, que j’aborde gros tempo pour revenir assez vite dans le groupe où nous sommes une dizaine. Loïc qui doit avoir 1’30 d’avance à ce moment va creuser l’écart car l’allure n’est pas folle pour nous : à tout juste 300W difficile de savoir comment sont les autres. Pierre Berger (GMC38) prend quelques longueurs d’avance, l’occasion de retester la concurrence : j’accélère pour revenir et insiste un peu mais la majorité est encore là et c’est à 7-8 qu’on en finit avec ce col sous une nouvelle accélération de Pierre. Kenty est là, avec Franky Batelier, Jordan Torgue, Alban Melquiot, Hugo Carcy-Collet et Philippe Galera qui nous suis en VAE depuis le début ! A 300W moyens on aura perdu pas mal de temps sur Loïc qui possède 4’ d’avance ici. La descente sur Valloire se fait sans histoire et sans trafic ; nous voilà pour le Galibier où je compte passer à l’action si rien ne bouge.

Dès la sortie de la station la rampe menant aux Verneys se profile et je décide d’accélérer : autour des 5w/kg voir un peu plus je ne relâche pas l’effort jusqu’au replat, et tout le monde est encore là mais sur la partie facile qui suit on récupère et j’ai des échos comme quoi ça a fait mal ! La pente reprends ses droits du côté de Bonnenuit et je réimpose mon rythme suivit par quelques instants à 400W me permettant enfin de casser le groupe : à présent sur les longs bouts droits je maintiens un gros tempo autour des 300/320W et seul Kenty et Franky ont pu suivre : à Plan Lachat statut quo où mes camarades ne me relais pas sans que je sache si c’est du bluff ou pas : on récupère une dernière fois avant le final grandiose : le vent de face après le virage à droite m’empêche de vraiment attaquer mais j’insiste et Franky finit par céder à son tour (un concurrent sérieux et j’apprendrai après qu’on était dans la même catégorie M3). Le podium se dessine mais l’arrivée encore loin et j’insiste encore avec quelques petits passages à 400W qui finissent par décramponner Kenty : 15’’ d’avance mais ça plafonne et on se bat tous les deux à ne rien lâcher : la voiture me confirme l’écart tout en me disant que je reprends du temps sur l’homme de tête (20’’). Nous sommes dans le difficile passage des Granges et je dois m’employer fortement pour maintenir l’écart. A hauteur de la stèle Pantani je semble enfin avoir fait un petit break et de nouveaux 30’’ de grattées sur Loïc qui même s’il termine en gérant, me conforte dans mon effort et c’est bon pour le moral. A 3kms de l’arrivée on arrive dans la partie que j’affectionne particulièrement et je relance encore : je garde même les 300W malgré l’altitude et avec 1’ à la flamme rouge je sais que les places sont acquises : en 2h59’38 j’en termine sur cette très belle 2eme place (1er des M3), 3’39 derrière un Loïc impérial et intouchable, Kenty prend la 3eme place 1’ derrière moi tandis que Franky termine 4eme devant Guillaume qui complète le top 5 avec une fin en boulet de canon comme il en a l’habitude !

Pleinement satisfait de la course et des jambes retrouvées (même si tout ne fut pas parfait en début d’épreuve) ce résultat fait plaisir surtout en ayant été pleinement acteur ; il n’y avait pas mieux à faire ! Mais tout n’était pas terminé après l’arrivée : la météo encore bonne me laisse l’opportunité de grimper au sommet en passant par le versant sud de l’autre côté du tunnel et là le grand plaisir avec des paysages de cartes postales, des murs de neige incroyables et des panoramas immaculés grandioses avec le mélange de la verdure à plus basse altitude ! J’en ai pris plein les yeux et fait le plein de photos ! Malheureusement il a bien fallu redescendre mais c’était encore pour un bon moment ; le repas particulièrement réussis avec soupe de potirons, tartiflette et Diot de Savoie. Une très belle épreuve et une organisation parfaite de French Alps Event ; un grand merci à eux et à tous les bénévoles.

Une petite pensée toutefois aux concurrents qui n’ont pu finir : en effet l’organisation à décidé de stopper la course un peu plus tard avec l’orage et la grêle qui ont sévis et là aussi toute l’équipe à fait de son mieux pour s’occuper de tout le monde : priorité à été donné à la sécurité !

27 Şubat 2024 Mint Vero Volley Monza Projekt Varşova Maçı

*Monza Arena'da saat 22:00'de başlayacak olan CEV Erkekler Challenge Kupası Final rövanş maçı. İlk maçı Polonya ekibi Projekt 3-1 kazanmıştı. Zafer için onlara 2 set yetecek. Ev sahibi İtalya temsilcisi Monza ise önce net galibiyete ulaşmayı ve ardından altın seti kovalayacak. Seyirci atmosferi de bir anlamda onların yanında olacak. İki ekibin bu organizasyondaki ilk şampiyonluklarını hedeflediklerini hatırlatalım. Güzel bir kapanış olması dileğiyle.

*CEV YouTube kanalından naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.

*İlk seti 27-25 alan Projekt 1-0 öne geçti. Monza iyi başlamasının da etkisiyle ilk bölümde hakim olan taraftı. Projekt 17-16'dan sonra 3 sayılık seri yaptı ve kontrolü eline geçirdi. O noktadan sonra da hep bir sayı önde gitti. Son virajda peş peşe sayıyı alarak işi bitirdi. Polonya ekibi dev adımı attı ve şimdi 1 sete ihtiyacı var.

*İkinci sette 25-16 kazanan Projekt durumu 2-0 yaptı ve kupayı garantiledi. Çok net bir oyunla işi bitirdiler. 2-1'den sonra 8 sayılık seri yaptılar ve rahat biçimde sonuna kadar gittiler. Monza ilk setteki psikolojik harpten çıkamayınca direnci düştü ve hayal kırıklığı ile kaldı.

*Üçüncü set 25-17 ile Monza'nın oldu ve tabela 2-1'e geldi. Sonucun kesinleşmesinin getirdiği rahatlıkla etkili bir oyun sergiledi İtalyan ekibi ve şimdi en azından galibiyetle bitirmeyi isteyecek.

*Dördüncü setin galibi 25-22 ile Projekt oldu ve Polonya ekibi 3-1 ile gülerek daha fazla uzatmadı. Monza fena başlamıştı sete ama Projekt 13-11 sonrasında 4 sayılık seri yaparak ipleri eline geçirdi. Bitime kadar da kontrolü tuttu ve günü daha fazla uzatmadan yine 3-1 kazanarak şampiyonluğunu taçlandırdı. Tarihindeki ilk Avrupa kupası sevinci oldu böylece. Tebriklerimizi iletiyoruz tüm ekibe.

Konuşurken RadyoTimes.com Ekim 2021'de yazar ve yönetmen Hwang, Squid Game'in ikinci sezonunun zorluklar sunduğunu söyledi."2. sezon için büyük beklentilerin olduğunun farkındayım" dedi. "Kendime sürekli olarak bunu 1. sezondan daha iyi hale getirip getiremeyeceğimi soruyorum. İnsanların yeni sezonda hayal kırıklığına uğramasını istemiyorum."netflixPek çok hayran teorisinden bazılarını olay örgüsüne dahil etmeye çalışabileceğini bile açıkladı."Bu fikirleri araştırmaya çalışacağım ve tabii ki iyi fikirler varsa onları da hikayeye dahil edebilirim" dedi. "Yalnız yazmayı tercih ettiğim için belki YouTube'daki tüm bu fikirler yazarımın odası işlevi görebilir."Ya da belki sosyal medyadaki hayranlardan fikir vermelerini bile isteyebilirim. Bu arada filmler üzerinde çalışırken daha çok düşünmeye çalışacağım."Bilgilerinizi girerek şunları kabul etmiş olursunuz: Şartlar ve koşullar Ve Gizlilik Politikası.

"Fakat bu noktada hikayenin nasıl sonuçlanacağı, karakterlerin nasıl değişeceği ya da bir değişiklik olup olmayacağı hakkında hiçbir şey bilmiyorum.

"Onun canlı olarak geri dönmesini, kardeşini bulmasını ve ona tonlarca soru sormasını istiyorum.

Polis memurlarıyla ilgili sorunun sadece Kore'deki bir sorun olmadığını düşünüyorum."Küresel haberlerde polis teşkilatının harekete geçmekte çok geç kalabildiğini görüyorum; daha fazla mağdur var ya da yeterince hızlı hareket etmedikleri için durum daha da kötüleşiyor.

"Eğer 2. sezonumuz olursa bunu kullanabilirim!"Hwang ayrıca oyunların arkasında zengin bir yatırımcı olduğu ortaya çıkan yarışmacı İhtiyar Oh Il-nam'ın arka hikayesini keşfetmeye açık olacağını söyledi."Ancak geçmişindeki mutlu anlara olan özlemi, başarı pahasına ailesi ve insanlığı dahil pek çok şeyi kaybettiğini gösteriyor. İkinci sezon olursa biraz bilgi verebiliriz. geçmiş hikayesi hakkında daha fazla bilgi" dedi.Il-nam'ın, normal hayatın heyecanlarından hayal kırıklığına uğrayan zenginler için Oyunun kurulmasına yardım eden zengin VIP'lerden biri olduğunu öğrensek de, karısı ve oğluyla yaşadığı hayatın büyük bir kısmını bilmiyoruz. Misket oyunu sırasında bahsettiği kişi. Kalamar Oyunu hayranının özel bir teorisi var: Il-nam, Gi-hun'un babası olabilir çünkü ikisi oyunlar boyunca ailevi bir ilişki geliştiriyor gibi görünürken Il-name ölüm yatağında Gi-hun'a bunun " onunla oynamak eğlenceli". Belki Il-nam'ın geçmişine dalmak bu potansiyel olay örgüsünü doğrulayabilir?Hwang, ikinci sezon için fikir almak üzere hayranlara başvurabileceğini de sözlerine ekledi ve şunları söyledi: "Yalnız yazmayı tercih ettiğim için belki YouTube'daki tüm bu fikirler yazarımın odası işlevi görebilir. Hatta belki sosyal medyadaki hayranlardan da bunu yapmalarını isteyebilirim. fikir verin. Bu arada filmler üzerinde çalışırken daha çok düşünmeye çalışacağım."Kalamar Oyunu. netflixHwang o zamandan beri kendi başına yazma konusundaki fikrini değiştirmiş gibi görünüyor ve yakın zamanda Variety'ye ikinci sezonu yaparsa "kesinlikle tek başına yapmayacağını" söyledi."Yazarlar odası kullanmayı düşünürdüm ve birden fazla deneyimli yönetmen isterim" diye ekledi.Gi-hun'un Amerika'ya giden uçağa binmemeye karar vermesi ve oyun organizatörlerinden intikam alma görevine çıkmasıyla birlikte 1. sezon finali 2. sezonu hazırlıyor gibi görünse de Hwang, son bölümün şu şekilde işe yarayabileceğini söyledi: serinin ve Gi-hun'un hikayesinin tam bir sonu.The Hollywood Reporter'a şunları söyledi: "1. sezonun açık uçlu bir şekilde bittiği doğru ama aslında bunun tüm hikaye için de iyi bir kapanış olabileceğini düşündüm.""Sezon 1, Gi-hun'un geri dönmesi ve Amerika'ya giden uçağa binmemesiyle sona eriyor. Ve aslında bu, benim toplumun rekabetçi akışı tarafından sürüklenmemeniz gerektiği, bunun yerine kendinizin sizi sürüklemesi gerektiği mesajını iletme yöntemimdi. Tüm sistemi kimin yarattığını ve geri dönüp bununla yüzleşme potansiyelinin olup olmadığını düşünmeye başlamalısınız."Yani Gi-hun'un intikam almak için geri dönmesi gerekmiyor. Aslında bu onun büyük resimde gerçekte olup bitenlerle anında göz teması kurması olarak yorumlanabilir. Bu yüzden bunun iyi bir fikir olabileceğini düşündüm. Gi-hun için hikayeyi bitirmenin basit ama belirsiz bir yolu."Ancak ikinci sezonu yazarsa, Front Man ile polis memuru kardeşinin yanı sıra oyunların işe alım sorumlusu arasındaki hikayeyi keşfetmek isteyeceğini de sözlerine ekledi."Aynı zamanda Gi-hun'la ddakji oyunu oynayan ve ilk bölümde ona kartı veren takım elbiseli işe alım görevlisinin hikayesine de girebilirim. Ve tabii ki Gi-hun'un dönüştüğü hikayeye de devam edebiliriz. geri dönün ve oyunları tasarlayan insanlarla olan hesaplaşmalarında nasıl yol alacağı hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinin. Yani henüz bilmiyorum ama ikinci sezonun hikayeleri için birçok olasılık olduğunu söyleyeceğim.

"Historic" effort

For once, I'll endorse Strava's boosterism. For the bits of this ride I did last year, I was between a quarter and a third faster this year. Not counting traffic lights for road-works, I only stopped once on the Galibier, at the well-placed Marmot van 8 km from the col, where the climbing gets really serious. Last year, I was trying to limit myself to one stop every 3 km, and failing.

Though the Galibier from the north is listed as an 18 km climb, you can't get to the foot of it in Valloire without first climbing the Col du Télégraphe, and the drop from that col to Valloire is only 4 km: not much respite. It's really a 35 km climb, with a few km of descent just before half-way.

Today's Challenge Ride variant was to add a further 8 km of climbing, 16 km in total, by continuing down the south side of the Galibier to the Col to Lautaret, turning round, and climbing back up to the Galibier. We all opted for just one Galibier in our day's riding.

The ride up to the Galibier took me 5 hours; from there back to the hotel (the same distance), 1:40 of quite different riding, at three times the speed. Ben got today's summit points, but I caught him at the top of the Télégraphe on the way back. We rode together from there. He dropped me on the descent of the Télégraphe (Ben's was the second-fastest of 46 descents on Strava today, so I'm glad I let him go!). He kindly waited for me at the foot and pulled me through the valley headwind back to St-Jean-de-Maurienne.

At that point, Ben detoured from today's route up the Toussuire road for a bit, to take his distance for the day above 100 km. In the it's-not-a-race stakes, that gives him the red jersey number tomorrow for combativeness today, as well as the polka-dot jersey he's taken from me, but my claimed lead in the classement générale has extended to 5'23". Ben might have reason for an appeal to the race umpire, though.

But that's just for fun. The challenge, for all of us, is to test ourselves in, and against, the mountains; and the most impressive rider is Colin: not Dr Colin, but Colin l'âiné. The clue is in the nickname: Colin, not me, is the oldest rider on this trip. He is 68, and aims to ride about 300 km a week. He describes himself as having 'a diesel engine': it takes him a while to get going, but once he does, he's strong. He passed me on the second part of the Galibier, and I repassed him on the descent (Colin: 'I was enjoying the scenery.'). If I can ride anything like as strong as that in eight years' time, I'll be happy; and it's encouraging to see it done.

Day 9: Embracing the French Alps

The morning discerned an opportunity - A sliver of manageable climate was snaking its way through the Alpine terrain, creating a window between the French and Italian alps. Although a couple of the passes I'd originally earmarked, the Agnel and Col du Madeline, were inaccessible due to a fatal accident and snow respectively, other spectacular routes awaited.

First up was the Col du Vars, followed by the Col d'Izoard. Rising to an altitude of around 2400m, the Col d'Izoard is a legend among the southern French Alpine passes, and I was thrilled to be finally navigating its winding roads. Despite the biting cold, the ride was nothing short of exhilarating - open roads, unimpeded visibility, and ever-changing scenery from gurgling rivers and roadside waterfalls to climbs by snowy peaks.

Every component seemed to be in sync on this route. The frosty, yet sunny weather was perfect for the Guzzi, which backfired and spluttered acoustically. My riding too was confident and fluid, evidenced by a christened hero blob below my right foot peg and a scratched up side stand on the left. It all converged into a truly memorable ride down an iconic alpine road.

Descending from Col d'Izoard into Briançon, the pleasure was somewhat overshadowed by an emergency vehicle and a helicopter retuning back up the pass. Despite my concern for the people involved in what must have been an accident behind me, I continued my journey, aiming next for Col de Montgenèvre and Susa.

But, the allure of Col de Lautaret and the mighty Col du Galibier, rising to 2600m, was irresistible. I was conscious that tackling these routes would mean bracing for sub-zero temperatures, leading me to a pit-stop at Decathlon for additional thermal gear.

Climbing into Col du Galibier, the landscape became an icy white spectacle. The road was surrounded by towering walls of ice, spiralling up towards the peak. I paused at the summit, taking in the sight of Mont Blanc in the distance. Celebrating my achievement with a cup of camp stove-brewed coffee from melted snow, I toasted the French Alps, readying myself for the next chapter of my journey in Italy.

As I entered Susa, a bustling Italian town, the contrast was stark. I had been enveloped by the tranquil grandeur of the Pyrenees and the Alps, and now, the urban clamor jarred me. That's when clarity struck me - I was not on this journey for cities, which I could always visit by plane. I was traveling for the chance to embrace nature and mountainscapes, something I may never get the chance to see again. This moment prompted a quick turnaround; arrivedeci, Italy. Let’s see what the Swiss alps have to offer instead.

My route took me via the D1006, traversing next to Mont Cenis. This journey offered sweeping views of the Lac du Mont-Cenis and towering mountains. The scale of everything, reminiscent of what my brother described about Canadian roads, was jaw-dropping. It was on this road, winding down from Mont Cenis to val Cenis, that I realise I’m perfectly set up for an ambitious challenge: the Col de l'Iseran.

Col de l'Iseran, the highest and arguably most demanding road in the Swiss Alps, standing at a vertigo-inducing 2,764m, was no joke. For both my rattling Guzzi and me, it’s a big ask.

Herein lay my predicament. While essential, a second night in a hotel was an expense I hadn't budgeted for and honestly, couldn’t really justify. Particularly after forking out €90 on thermal clobber.

In the end, necessity birthed resilience. I took on an unexpected role as a haggler, knocking on hotel doors, awkwardly negotiating with receptionists, until finally striking a deal at the Alpazur hotel for just a quarter of the listed price.

Settling in, I’m eating sweaty leftover sausages from the previous day and prepared for an early night. Big day tomorrow.

GALIBIER CHALLENGE

A St-Michel de Maurienne, le 5 juin 2022

2eme édition pour cette cyclosportive et découverte pour moi ! L’épreuve a pour particularité d’offrir une arrivée au sommet du col du Galibier quelques jours seulement après son ouverture à la suite des dernières opérations de déneigement de la partie sommitale. L’évènement se déroule sur 2 jours avec 2 parcours gravel le samedi, le dimanche voyant proposer la grimpée sèche Télégraphe + Galibier et la cyclosportive comportant 115km et 3350m D+, le chrono s’arrêtant donc au sommet du Géant des Alpes pour un retour en descente tranquille jusqu’à St-Michel de Maurienne.

Très hésitant sur ma participation avec des prévisions météo très pessimistes pour le week-end, ce n’est qu’au dernier moment (jeudi soir) que je prends mon dossard voyant ces dites conditions s’améliorer avec notamment un dimanche matin qui devrait rester beau ! Et à 8h45 à St-Michel-de-Maurienne pour le départ il fait effectivement un temps estival, presque chaud et ensoleillé ! Peu avant j’aperçois quelques-uns de mes camarades de routes : Nicolas Ougier, Julien Sauvigné, Julien Gaillard, Jean Luc Chavanon ou Alexandre Lavocat avec qui je discute entre ligérien !

Après un départ neutralisé pour sortir du centre-ville, je suis en 1ere ligne et 2 coureurs du team RCS assurent un bon tempo sur le faux plat menant à la première difficulté. Peu avant j’accompagne une 1ere offensive sans conséquence et nous abordons la montée de la Fusine (les 3 derniers km à 6%) : déjà sur un gros tempo, Julien S. met une bonne attaque : bien placé j’y vais sans réfléchir imité par Nicolas et un 4eme homme. Après quelques instants, je me retourne et surprise nous avons fais le trou à 4 ! Nico et Julien sont très actifs, je tente un ou 2 relais mais trouve le rythme bien soutenu. Dans la descente d’Orelle un 5eme homme nous rejoint et de retour sur la D1006 les relais s’organisent immédiatement pour foncer sur St-Michel ; c’est full gaz jusqu’au pied de la 2eme difficulté : le col de Beau-Plan (11,2km à 6,3%).

Peu avant le pied on aperçoit un contre qui semble se rapprocher mais on entame ce col ente gros tempo et seuil ce qui fait que ça ne rentre pas. Avec des passages à 5w/kg voir plus, un gars lâche prise et nous voilà 4 mais pour peu de temps : on fait l’essentiel du travail avec Julien et on finit par s’isoler : tous les 2 avec un niveau très proche l’un de l’autre on sait qu’on peu aller loin et on collabore sans rechigner. On fait alors une bien belle montée sur ce col méconnu et très calme (pas vu une voiture !). Un « replat » vers Beaune permet de souffler avant un dernier km plus difficile et c’est parti pour la descente que j’ai vu très technique en consultant le parcours. Je laisse Julien faire le guide, c’est propre, sans risque et sans perte de temps ; nous voilà de nouveau à St-Michel-de-Maurienne où je peux récupérer un bidon auprès de mes parents et nous comptons 4’ d’avance sur un groupe d’une quinzaine de gars (avec 2-3 coureurs intercalés).

Reste alors 35km, pas les plus simples avec tout d’abord le col du Télégraphe (12km à 6.8%). On continue de bien rouler avec Julien même si mon camarade n’est pas à 100% avec notamment des douleurs au dos. Du coup c’est moi qui fais de plus en plus le train au fil du col : en gestion 320-325W ; je m’étais fixé de tenir 300W sur ces 35 derniers km (descente Valloire comprise). On n’est donc pas mal et on nous annonce 3’40 d’avance à l’approche du sommet. On a alors environ 5km facile jusqu’à Valloire où on se ravitaille et souffle un peu ; malgré la faible circulation 6-7 voitures font barrages avant l’entrée de la station mais motos et voiture ouvreuses toutes sirènes dehors nous dégagent le passage ! La pente reprend ses droits pour le col du Galibier (18km à 6.6%).

Dès la rampe des Verneys je tente de repartir sur 5w/kg (alors que la puissance moyenne est retombée à 294W depuis St-Michel), relâchant un peu car ça devient compliqué pour Julien et on a encore intérêt à rester à 2 pour les faux plats qui suivent. Très volontaire Julien me relais en direction de Bonnenuit où la pente reprend : de nouveau je tente de reprendre mon rythme entre 300-320W et Julien lâche prise ; il reste 13km ! Les longs bouts droits jusqu’à Plan Lachat ne passent pas si mal même si une certaine lassitude me gagne ; je profite d’un dernier passage plus facile pour couper un peu l’effort et me ravitailler. Viens le virage à droite, et les pentes qui n’offrirons plus de répit jusqu’au sommet ; étonnamment je maintiens encore 300W voir plus sans être dans le dur et j’aperçois Julien en contre bas avec un coureur ; à ce moment je ne sais pas si c’est un concurrent de la grimpée qui tente de s’accrocher ou si c’est un homme revenant de l’arrière. J’estime mon avance autour des 2’ à cet instant ; rien n’est fait ! Quelques lacets plus haut le vent se fait sentir et gros coup de moins bien ; je me bats à présent pour juste tenir un bon 4,3 w/kg même si la FC reste à bon niveau. De plus je vois clairement que c’était bien un coureur de notre course qui était revenu sur Julien ; c’est Benjamin Favre-Taylaz et il vient de s’isoler se mettant à ma poursuite. Quelques instants de doute surtout jusqu’aux Granges où j’ai toujours du mal ici puis passé ce secteur je me rends compte que l’écart semble se stabiliser ; à 3km du sommet, malgré le vent toujours défavorable, je sens que ça va le faire ; je ne faiblis plus et conserve mon avantage en maintenant 290-295W : J’ai même le temps de bien savourer dans la partie finale où les murs de neige ne sont malheureusement pas au rendez-vous cette année.

Je termine victorieusement en 3h07’14 ; il m’aura manqué une petite dizaine de W sur le segment Télégraphe-Galibier par rapport à ce que j’espérais mais il faut aussi prendre en compte notre échappée, non prévue ; ça reste solide ! Benjamin termine 2eme en 3h09’39, un écart de 2’25 qui confirme que je n’ai rien perdu sur les derniers kms, Julien conservant la 3eme place en 3h12’35. Un immense plaisir sur ces derniers kms, limite j’aurai bien continué un peu plus ! En tout cas voilà un format de course intéressant, court avec du dénivelé et l’absence de vallée. L’organisation est au top ; podium protocolaire au sommet au fil des arrivées avec remise des lots au moment du repas sans attente ; un repas de qualité, couleurs locales avec notamment les crozets accompagnés de diots savoyards. Encadrement, sécurité, bénévoles souriants et n’hésitant pas à nous encourager : vraiment que du positif pour cette jeune épreuve qui espérons-le perdurera un moment !

21 Şubat 2024 Projekt Varşova Mint Vero Volley Monza Maçı

*COS Torwar Salonu'nda saat 19:30'da başlayacak olan CEV Erkekler Challenge Kupası Final ilk maçı. Polonya ekibi Projekt, 2012'de o zaman adı Politechnika'yken bu kupada final görmüş ama bir diğer Polonya ekibi Czestochowa'yı geçememişti. 12 yıl sonra yeniden kupa mücadelesi verecekler ve bu kez hedef zirve olacak. İtalya temsilcisi Mint Vero Volley Monza ise Yarı Final'de Galatasaray'ı geçip buraya ulaştı. 2 sene önce CEV Kupası'nı kazanmıştı. Bu kez bu organizasyonda mutlu sona ulaşıp müzesini çeşitlendirmek istiyor. Güzel bir final heyecanının ilk adımı olması dileğiyle taraflara başarılar.

*CEV YouTube kanalından naklen yayınlanacak olan maç.

*İlk seti 25-18 kazanan Projekt 1-0 öne geçti. Polonya ekibi güçlü rakibi karşısında sağlam başladı maça. Skor avantajını hep korudu ve bitime kadar önde oynadı.

*İkinci set 25-21 ile Monza'nın oldu ve 1-1'lik eşitlik geldi. Dengeli başlangıçtan sonra Projekt ağırlığını koymaya başlamıştı. Sonlara yaklaşırken Monza kendini hatırlattı. 18-18'den sonra daha iyi bir bölüm oynadılar ve geri düşmeden seti aldılar.

*Üçüncü sette 25-18 sonucu ile gülen Projekt Varşova 2-1 yaparak yeniden üstünlüğü eline aldı. Yakın geçen ilk sayıların ardından Polonya temsilcisi 8-6 sonrasında 4 sayılık seri yaparak öne geçti. Orta kısımdaki serilerle de iyice rahatlayınca sağlam bitirdiler.

*Dördüncü setin galibi 25-19 Projekt Varşova oldu ve Polonya ekibi maçı 3-1 kazandı. Monza etkili başlamıştı ve skoru bir ara 11-5 yapmıştı. İlerleyen sayılarda adım adım geldi Varşova. 17-15'ten sonra da 10-2'lik müthiş bir sekans çıkararak net sonuca uzandı. İtalya'daki rövanş onlar için zor geçebilir ama 2 set yetecek kupa için.

I had a schedule for the day, which would have allowed me to complete all the Challenge climbs, even the ridiculous second ascent of the Galibier. At the foot of the Galibier, I was 45 minutes up on where I needed to be, and riding faster than the averages I'd set (five times faster for descending than climbing).

Once on the Galibier, it was getting hot and muggy. As the pictures show, I paced my self by taking pictures of every third marker stone. Just before the 6 km mark, I found a tiny chalet-café, and bought most of their small stock of fruit water-ice lollipops. My French turned out to be up to saying "I need a third of those." Thus fortified, I made it to and beyond the 6 km marker, still more or less on schedule.

But it was not to be: nature intervened, in the form of a short sharp shower that turned out to be the herald of a brief but badly timed thunderstorm.

A little rain after a dry spell makes roads slick: it mixes with the rubber and oil deposits from all those noisy motorbikes. It gets better after a downpour, which washes the film away. But this was just enough to make the road treacherous. While usually that wouldn't bother me, the top of the Galibier is so exposed, it just wouldn't have been safe. Falling on the road is one thing; falling down a near-vertical scree-slope onto glacial moraine far below, quite another. And those roads are narrow, too.

So I accepted it as a sign of providence that the rain came on as I was buying a drink in the little shack three-quarters of the way up the giant pass. It specialises in Beaufort cheese: so, reader, this time I bought some. Shortly afterwards, and true to his word, Matt came down from the summit with the van, and I climbed in. The Galibier, then, is unfinished business.

top 5, bottom 5

Tagged by @discordantwords

Rules: Tag the person who tagged you, always post the rules, answer the questions, and add the date!

What are your five most popular works? (starting with the most kudos)

1. The Horse and his Doctor, BBC Sherlock, T, Sherlock/John, 129k words

Invalided after a run in with a poacher in Siberia, veterinary surgeon John Watson finds it difficult to acclimatise to the mundanity of London life. Things change when a friend invites him along to a local animal shelter and he meets their latest acquisition, a trouble-making Frisian with the strangest eyes and even stranger quirks John has ever encountered in a horse.

Horselock and VetJohn. It started out as a cracky idea and turned into a case-fic with an unusual friendship. I had lots of fun writing this, and am still blown away by the reception it got.

2. Enigma, BBC Sherlock, M, Sherlock/John, 194k, WIP

It’s the autumn of 1941, war is raging in Europe, German U-boats are raiding Allied convoys in the Atlantic, the Luftwaffe is bombing English cities, and the cryptographers at Bletchley Park are working feverishly to decode their enemies' encrypted communications. One should consider this challenge and distraction enough for capricious codebreaker Sherlock Holmes. But the true enigmas are yet waiting to be deciphered: an unbreakable code, a strange murder, and the appearance of Surgeon Captain John H. Watson of the Royal Navy.

My most ambitious fic so far because of the historical setting and because it features real life figures such as Alan Turing. I’m learning a lot about wartime Britain while working on this story.

3. The Summer Boy, BBC Sherlock, T, Sherlock/John, 94k

About half a year after the fateful events at Appledore, Sherlock and John embark on a private case in Sussex. For Sherlock, it’s a journey into his past, bringing up memories both happy and sad that he has locked away for almost thirty years. For John, it means coming to terms with the present – and a potential future with Sherlock.

Set mostly on the South Downs in Sussex, this story is an homage to Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching books and is partly set during Sherlock’s childhood. He has no strange sister in this verse.

4. Over Earth and Under Earth, BBC Sherlock, M, Sherlock/John, 196k

Three months after finally acknowledging their mutual feelings, John and Sherlock are not much closer to sorting out their relationship, hindered by cases, work, family issues, everyday matters and by being themselves. Will a strange case out in the Suffolk countryside bring a solution or further complicate things?

The fifth installment in my Over/Under series, this fic deals with the developing relationship of the two. Since the series was begun before S3 aired, Sherlock’s return after the Fall and his family background are different from canon. This fic contains the only sexy-times I’ve written so far ;).

5. Over Hill and Under Hill, BBC Sherlock, T, Sherlock/John, 75k

John and Sherlock travel to France to tackle the Col du Galibier (of Tour de France fame) by bicycle, and the confused state of their relationship after Sherlock's return from the dead at the same time. A long journey, and a long climb ...

The one where they go cycling, and my first long(ish) fic in the Sherlock fandom. Fourth in my Over/Under series, but written before all the others.

What are your five least popular works?

1. The Passage, BBC Sherlock, T, Sherlock & John, 12k, (WIP)

The personal Journal of Mr. Sherlock Holmes, recording his journey from Portsmouth, England to Mangalore, India, aboard HMS Charybdis under the command of Capt. G. Lestrade, commencing in the spring of the year 1803.

My very first foray into Sherlock fic, still unfinished, mostly because of the amount of research required to get the historical facts right. I still hope to finish it one day, but at the moment other stories have precedence.

2. Underground Rescue, BBC Sherlock, M, Sherlock/John, 24k, WIP

All kinds of danger lurk in the disused stations of the London Underground. When Sherlock goes missing, John has to play detective to find him, while Sherlock faces demons both present and past.

My most recent fic, and the sequel to The Summer Boy. It blends my love for Sherlock with that for London and its less well-known locations.

3. Fortunately the Milk, BBC Sherlock / Neil Gaiman fandom, G, Sherlock & John, 8k

Sherlock sets out to buy milk. It turns out to be a real adventure.

My crackiest fic to date, inspired by Neil Gaiman’s Fortunately the Milk, written on a whim after attending an event where he read from his book.

4. Over Ground and Under Ground, BBC Sherlock, T, Sherlock & John / Sherlock & London, 5k

After nine months of dismantling Jim Moriarty's criminal empire, Sherlock finally takes the Eurostar to return to his first great love: London. The train can't seem to move fast enough ...

The second story in the Over/Under series: a brief character study of Sherlock returning to London after the Fall (not S3 compliant).

5. Over Cloud and Under Cloud, BBC Sherlock / Cabin Pressure, T, Sherlock & John, 16k

After his Fall, Sherlock travels the world to destroy what remains of James Moriarty's criminal empire. When things don't go according to plan and he finds himself in desperate need of a discreet means of travel, cue MJN Air ...

First in the Over/Under series, crossover with Cabin Pressure. Not quite as cracky as it may sound, although I had great fun writing it, particularly Arthur’s parts.

How mountains create Tour de France legends

The Tour de France’s high mountains are perfect set pieces for the race’s greatest moments.

The Tour de France can be won or lost in a variety of ways, but mountain stages define almost every edition of the race. From the moment Octave Lapize, en route to victory in the 1910 Tour de France, screamed “assassins” at race director Henri Desgrange at the summit of the Col d’Aubisque, fans and riders have associated greatness at the Tour with success in the highest mountain passes.

But what makes for a great mountain stage of the Tour? Let’s rewind a bit.

Greatness is a slippery subject, but if a mountain stage battle is fixed in our memories after many years, it’s in the conversation. That tradition started with Lapize on the Col d’Aubisque.

The Tour began climbing mountains in its second edition in 1904, when the race ascended the Col de la République. But on July 21, 1910, the Tour upped the ante and ascended the Pyrénean giant Col du Tourmalet, a climb twice as high as the République. Reporters waiting at the third and final climb, the Aubisque, shouted a question to Lapize as he passed by, and he replied Vous êtes assassins! (“You are assassins!”).

Octave Lapize

That day, the Tour posed a challenge well beyond what the sport had ever known, but the riders’ response to that challenge married mountains to the Tour from then on. Lapize was on a mission, chasing down Francois Lafourçade on the descent from the top of the Aubisque to win and put 10 minutes into his competitors by day’s end. Lapize won the Tour in large part thanks to that heroic (and temperamental*) effort.

(*In fairness to Lapize, if someone made you ride up and down the Pyrénées on a 1910 bike, with one gear, and next to nothing in the way of real brakes, you’d probably come up with something worse than “assassins.”)

Fausto Coppi in the Alps

Lapize’s win showed us all the key ingredients of a great mountain stage: ultra-challenging terrain, an unbelievable effort, and a pinch of myth-making. The great climbing battles can happen anywhere, but have been most likely to occur on the Tour’s iconic climbs, like the Tourmalet, Galibier, Alpe d’Huez, the Joux-Plane, Mont Ventoux, and of course the stadium of suffering known as Alpe d’Huez. History is dotted with rides like this:

In 1952, Alpe d’Huez was introduced to the Tour, and summited first by Fausto Coppi, the great Italian Il Campionissimo. That put him in yellow by a slim margin, but the next day he embarked on a rampage for the ages, putting 20 minutes into all of the competition on a race over several Alpine passes before finishing over the Italian border at Sestriere.

In 1969, Eddy Merckx salted away his first Tour de France victory with a solo attack of 140 kilometers on the race’s 17th stage, a Pyrénean beast featuring Peyresourde, Aspin, Tourmalet, and Aubisque. Merckx, in his first Tour, was in the process of winning the yellow, green, polka-dot, and combativity jerseys, and doubled his commanding lead that day from eight to 16 minutes. At the finish line he told waiting journalists, “I hope I have done enough now for you to consider me a worthy winner.” I’m going with “yes” here.

No long-time Tour fans will forget the day in 1986 when Bernard Hinault and Greg LeMond, who would finish with eight combined Tour wins, rolled over the finish line on Alpe d’Huez together, hand-in-hand, after putting a two-man beating on the rest of the peloton to pad their hold on the top two overall spots by more than five minutes. It was all smiles between the two, like the calm in the eye of the hurricane that was their rivalry before and after that moment. Their feud would resume the next day and rage all the way to Paris.

The list of all-time greats doing memorable things in the mountains is long, but lately, such heroic exploits have been a bit harder to come by. Innovative 21st Century tactics, from the US Postal days to Sky/Ineos’ current reign, have come to grind down the competition, making long-range attacks either suicidal or impossible. It has become a downer to see riders winning the Tour with just a handful of attacks in the final few kilometers of the biggest stages, pocketing 30 seconds here and there. That’s why some of us still have mixed, or even fond feelings about Floyd Landis’ all-day assault on stage 17 of the 2006 Tour, when the American rebounded from a disastrous stage with a 120-kilometer attack and solo victory that put him back in yellow all the way to Paris.

A couple days later, he was disqualified for doping. But after the suffocating tactics of the Armstrong years, and the conservative riding that had marked the ‘06 race until that point, Landis’ performance felt like a throwback to days that seemed lost forever, a ride that (if not so horribly tainted) would have put smiles on the faces of Hinault, Merckx, and the other dominant champions of Tour history.

The relatively meager gains on mountain stages in recent Tours suggest not just a shift tactics, but also tighter competition (and arguably, a cleaner peloton as well). At least in that context, there’s still plenty of charm to find in the Tour’s mountain stages, and in the last decade riders have found unique ways to make memories. They still feature classic courses, soaring finishes on iconic peaks like Alpe d’Huez. And they still feature athletes waging fierce and fearless battles into thin air. Here are a few of my favorites.

In the 2008, Carlos Sastre, the Schleck brothers, and pre-race favorite Cadel Evans, riding with minimal support in the mountains from his Lotto squad, waged a nip-and-tuck battle. Evans was mere seconds out of yellow at the start of Stage 17, and secure in his knowledge that he could paste his CSC rivals in a Stage 20 time trial if he could hang onto their wheels on Alpe d’Huez. Frank Schleck was in yellow, and young Andy was riding brilliantly, so the pair took turns softening up Evans as the race hit the base of the Alpe. From there, Sastre, who was 41 seconds behind Evans in the standings, launched a pair of vicious attacks, the second sending him clear, and he soloed to the top of the Alpe, gaining two minutes — enough cushion to hold on to the yellow jersey for good.

Three years later, Evans and the Schlecks waged another memorable battle across the Alps, joined by Alberto Contador, who had emptied his tank at the Giro d’Italia and lost too much time in the Pyrénées to compete for yellow. Evans skillfully marked his rivals and seemed destined to seal his only Tour de France victory during the stage 20 time trial, but not before Andy Schleck went for broke, attacking on the forbidding desert slopes of the Col d’Izoard, 60 kilometers from the finish. He carried his advantage, which reached more than four minutes, up to the finish on the Col du Galibier. Evans would eventually lose a manageable two minutes, but Schleck’s effort seemed to reawaken the sport to its heroic past.

As good as it gets: Schleck solos on the Galibier

And as much as Chris Froome has been criticized for plying his team’s financial might en route to four Tour wins, he has proven his champion’s mettle on all of the race’s most forbidding slopes. At the 2013 Tour, Froome was the heir apparent to the yellow jersey when Bradley Wiggins didn’t return to defend his 2012 title. Having secured yellow in the Pyrénées, he silenced any critics by outdueling Contador and upstart Nairo Quintana on the windswept Mont Ventoux. Froome and Contador aggressively dropped everyone, but then Froome slipped away from the Spanish champion, catching Quintana. The pair, destined to be rivals for a few years, rode away from the competition, until Froome cracked the Colombian to win the stage.

Noble mountain victories aren’t the sole providence of great champions; greatness can come from watching anyone dig beyond a reasonable limit to win a stage or hang on to the yellow jersey, against all odds. Julian Alaphilippe, who is known as a Very Good but not Elite climber, turned the 2019 Tour on its head in its first two weeks with a string of unforgettable efforts. We have seen memorable stage wins by riders who are far out of contention but still want to show fans what a world-class climbing looks like. The last decade has seen the King of the Mountains competition turn back into a war of pure climbers, as it had been through much (though not all) of the Tour’s history. In 2017, Frenchman Warren Barguil cemented his place in national cycling lore with a successful polka-dot campaign that he topped off with a solo win on the Col d’Izoard. The man known as “Wawa” had been part of the day-long breakaway, got caught on the final climb, but the mustered a last reserve of energy to attack with three kilometers remaining.

Similarly, in 2013 Quintana put himself in dots with a long-range attack on the Col du Semnoz, the final mountain climb of the Tour, where he and longtime Tour hopeful Joaquim Rodriguez of Spain dueled to the summit. That effort, days after Froome had swatted him on Mont Ventoux, landed the young Colombian the KOM title, second overall at the Tour, and hero’s welcome when half of Bogota turned out to celebrate him and his future. That promise has since gone unfulfilled, but a lot of fans can remember back to when Quintana was the only rider who could put a dent in Froome’s invincibility.

You get the point by now. Great riders digging deep make for memorable stages. But I’ll throw in one more ingredient that can make for a great climb: polemics.

Ask any cycling fan about the 2010 race, and you are sure to get an earful about whether Contador knew that Schleck had thrown his chain on the Port de Balès as the Spaniard attacked over the summit. Contador gained 39 seconds that day against a backdrop of howling protests over Tour etiquette, which generally says you should avoid attacking your rival during a mechanical problem or crash. Contador would go on to win the Tour by ... 39 seconds, only to be stripped of his title in a spasm of karma and litigation.

Then ask around about 2016, a fairly unmemorable competition, and the talk will turn to Froome running up Mont Ventoux without a bike, following a crash caused by fans crowding the road to the point where the leading trio of Froome, Bauke Mollema, and Richie Porte ran into a stopped motorbike. Ask about 1975 and you’ll hear about a fan punching Merckx in the kidney on the Puy-de-Dome. Bring up 2003, or any of the Armstrong wins, and you’ll hear pretty quickly about the time he caught his bars on a spectator’s musette, crashing to the deck before getting up and coming back to win at Luz Ardiden. I’m not sure how great any of these moments are, but if there’s one thing cycling fans love as much as heroic riding, it’s a good controversy.

Every October when the Tour de France releases its next route to the public, cycling fans begin to dream, conjuring visions of heroic climbers dancing across the mountainscapes of France. Whether the riders and the circumstances of the race combine to deliver true greatness is only for the Cycling Gods to answer, but when they do, there are few things in sports that can match the spectacle.
