改成這個？


Claire Pedrono 超受歡迎的！沒了多可惜～～

多認識Claire Pedrono 一點

1.5. ANT+ 推出新一代通訊協定：ANT Ultra-Low Power (ULP) 力拼Bluetooth 4.0



以下跟車有關

2. Sampson 發表3 維可調的卡踏Stratics FS

用紅墊片調Q-factor，卡踏本體位置也可調


內外旋也可用墊片調整


據說五月發售，239鎂/對

同時他們也正在開發fitting system，讓騎士的腳可以運行在正確的軌跡上

Le Tour de Langkawi 2013 - Stage 6

Route：Mentakab - Kuantan 212.8km

1 Thomas Leezer (Ned) Blanco Pro Cycling Team
2 Ji Min Jung (Kor) KSPO 0:00:27
3 Michal Golas (Pol) Omega Pharma-Quickstep

濕身秀～


Theo Bos 疑似食物中毒，退賽；一整晚鬧肚子，幸好室友Leezer 沒受太大影響

開賽50km，Steele Von Hoff (Garmin Sharp), Travis Meyer, Wesley Sulzberger (Orica GreenEdge), Tom Leezer (Blanco), Michal Golas, Serge Pauwels, Pieter Serry (Omega Pharma – Quick-Step), Chad Beyer (Champion System), Cyrille Gautier, Pierre Rolland (Europcar), Jackson Rodriguez (Androni Giocatolli), Connor McConvey (Synergy – Baku)分出去，一路到終點

本站賽事後段的最佳寫照


還剩最後7km，peloton 快追上兔子海，Tom Leezer (Blanco)奮力單飛

贏得他職業生涯首勝

他賽後表示：Unbelievable; what a indescribable feeling. It’s my first victory as a professional. I only started training from the end of November, since my crash 19th September last year. I wasn’t expecting to race in Langkawi already. The stage wins with Theo where great, but to finish it off solo is really special. I guess Theo feels less guilty now for keeping me up all night.

這一勝也讓Blanco 的累積勝場數達到10 場，目前領先所有職業車隊

看官心中會不會有疑惑，阿登賽段的Amstel Gold Race 怎麼一點動靜都沒有？

因為Amstel Gold Race 不歸ASO 管(是Amstel Gold Race Foundation)，請等一等...Q半仙猜想，結果是差不多的



2. 2013 賽季跑一陣子了，看看inrng 怎麼說



Astana, Euskaltel-Euskadi, Garmin-Sharp, Vacansoleil-DCM 還沒有勝績

而ProTour 以外的車隊：Europcar 5 勝；Vini Fantini 3 勝；Sojasun 3 勝；Cofidis 2 勝

別急，截至目前只有Tour Down Under 是WorldTour 比賽，下一個是三月的Paris-Nice

即便三月跑完，已經過了2013 的1/4，但從四月開始一路延燒到暮秋的世錦賽才真的吸睛

你準備好了嗎？

Le Tour de Langkawi 2013 - Stage 5

Route：Proton - Genting 110.3km

1 Julian D Arredondo Moreno (Col) Team Nippo - De Rosa
2 Pieter Weening (Ned) Orica Greenedge
3 Victor Nino Corredor (Col) RTS Racing Team

中南美洲的爬坡高手產能真是量大質精啊


Europcar 一進山區就集結帶頭


不過很快的，集團就被15％ 的陡坡撕裂了


王美銀(Hengxiang Cycling Team)身著黃衫，帶著領先群攻坡，展現風範


剩最後5km，Pieter Weening (Orica Greenedge)攻擊，只有Julian D Arredondo Moreno (Team Nippo - De Rosa)跟上


領先群被撕裂，Nathan Haas (Garmin - Sharp)苦撐


王美銀(Hengxiang Cycling Team)這時氣力放盡，只能盡力損管


最後2km，Julian D Arredondo Moreno (Team Nippo - De Rosa)以身材優勢抽開Pieter Weening (Orica Greenedge)

順利進終點，也同時拿下黃衫

20130225 AQ報報

1. Snow cancels Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne





2. Michele Scarponi 確定本季跑完就會離開Team Lampre-Merida 了





3. Croce D’Aune--Campagnolo 故鄉



看到inrng 介紹這路線的介紹

不僅讓我想起Tullio Campagnolo 爺爺


當年他在比賽中因為想變速(得拆下後輪，轉180 度用另一邊的爬樹齒)而轉蝴蝶螺絲轉到火大

他說出了名言：“Bisogno cambiá qualcossa de drio”--英譯Something must change in the rear！

科技始終來自於人性，他就這麼建立Campagnolo 公司生出快拆(1930 年)，以及後變速器(1933 年)

1949 年推出的Gran Sport 為現代的後變速器濫觴--平行四變形連桿＆雙導輪機制


也因此在Croce D’Aune 坡頂有個Tullio Campagnolo 紀念碑，讓我們曉得現在能過得這麼爽都是因為踩在巨人的肩膀上




4. Training and Racing with a Power Meter 的fb 上寫出：FTP = 40 km (~1 h) power, *not* 1 h power.

真是太中肯了

Le Tour de Langkawi 2013 - Stage 4

Route：Tapah - Kapar 168km

1 Francesco Chicchi (Ita) Vini Fantini - Selle Italia
2 Andrea Guardini (Ita) Astana Pro Team
3 Aidis Kruopis (Ltu) Orica Greenedge

咦～Bos 呢？


今天，新城幸也帶頭當兔子～


最後衝線，老隊友鬩牆


Guardini 先啟動...Chicchi 不與之正面對決，吸進Guardini 真空帶

剩50m，彈射！

老將Chicchi 以經驗豐富勝出

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2013

Route：Ghent 198.9km

1 Luca Paolini (Ita) Katusha
2 Stijn Vandenbergh (Bel) Omega Pharma-Quick-Step Cycling Team
3 Sven Vandousselaere (Bel) Topsport Vlaanderen-Baloise

接近攝氏零度的冷冽逆風，有沒有這夭壽啊！


Matteo Trentin 摔斷鎖骨...還順便撇掉了湯馬仕小火車


Geraint Thomas 展現企圖心，追到第四名，本季石板路大戰不容小覷



蝦帥攻！


獨奏，直到最後一個坡才被抓回來，敢鬥賞！



Greg Van Avermaet (BMC)後方一點點也依樣畫葫蘆，我期待他今年春天有所斬獲



與蝦帥合體之後，共10 員：Chavanel, Van Avermaet, Thomas, Paolini, Roelandts, Vandenbergh, Vandousselaere, Garcia, Wynants, Bandiera

在Paddestraat ＆ Lippenhovestraat 的石板路上，Vandenbergh 火力全開，只有Paolini 跟上

比賽定調


Paolini 身高174cm，Vandenbergh 身高199cm...這根本是大衛與歌利亞的對決

逃往終點的過程中大多由Vandenbergh 帶頭(大排氣量引擎就是有優勢)

Paolini 其實也知道如果一直躲在後面，贏了也不光彩，也是奮力出頭


兩人就這麼相濡以沫，直到最後100m 才啟動衝刺

Paolini 略勝一籌



石板A 咖們騎得保守，大集團進終點


賽後Paolini 表示：To be honest, I was afraid he would attack because I was tired, but then I could see that he was really very tired, too. I rode with Stijn at Katusha in 2010, and I knew that I was quicker than him on paper, but it was still a relief to cross the line first.


Q半仙感嘆：沒想到還能看見像準名人堂經典Paolo Bettini 那種醜的要命的義大利姿勢率先過終點

Le Tour de Langkawi 2013 - Stage 3

Route：Sungai Siput - Cameron Highlands 145.4km

1 Meiyin Wang (Chn) Hengxiang Cycling Team
2 Julian D Arredondo Moreno (Col) Team Nippo - De Rosa
3 Nathan Haas (Aus) Garmin - Sharp

今天是王美銀的場子！


一大早他就出去當兔子了


居然一路逃進終點，領先第二名超過2min


各色領先衫通殺！這是環蘭卡威18 年來首見！


他賽後表示：This is the greatest day of my life. It is also my biggest success so far. I was only thinking of joining the breakaway, but I didn't expect to win like this. It wasnot part of our team's plans. The plan was for two other teammates to get in the breakaway, but they didn't manage to do so. So I tried to go and succeeded. When we reached the foot of the climb, I managed to drop the other four riders and continue with my pace. Maybe the riders in the peloton also made a mistake and didn't try to catch me earlier because they don't know me or they thought they could catch me. So I was lucky. But I must admit that this was not an easy climb.

希望他能順利撐過第五站貢鼎高原

1.2. Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 是衝刺天堂

回顧一下Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne 2012

賽前，Chicchi 對Bos 說：其實這螢光黃車褲讓我很害羞...但我還有兩季要穿...


一開賽就出現五隻兔子：Anuar Manan (Synergy - Baku Cycling Project), Shahrul Mat Amin (Terengganu Cycling Team), Choon Huat Goh (OCBC Singapore), Yong Seo Joon (KSPO), Fuyu Li (Henxiang Cycling Team)

喔喔喔...李富玉坐完車監復出了

最後又是peloton 把兔子河蟹，由Blanco 獲得控制權...(帶頭的Durbo 退開，ㄟ...我們家的列車呢？)

衝線！


衝過來了！！


Theo Bos 二連勝(這手勢...Bos 其實你有在打野球是吧...)

2. 丹麥人Matti Breschel 表示：就像回到家一樣，我要幫Saxo-Tinkoff 贏個Flanders 回來



結束了兩年在Rabobank 的流浪(包括2011 的膝傷手術)，2012 年底他又回到Riis 麾下

本季已經在環卡達以及環阿曼亮相，開心的笑，與工作人員用丹麥語聊天，與外國隊友(例：Contador...)用英語討論

他自己表示：It is kind of like that home feeling. My dream is to win Flanders. I want to be on target from Sanremo until Roubaix [March 17 to April 7], but Flanders is the big goal.

Route：Kangar - Kulim 162.7km

1 Theo Bos (Ned) Blanco Pro Cycling Team
2 Bryan Coquard (Fra) Team Europcar
3 Andrea Guardini (Ita) Astana Pro Team

Theo Bos 衝刺贏太多了...Graeme Brown lead-out 時可以不用太出力

Shinichi：我們在賽前戰術簡報ㄋㄟ...不要偷聽～


開跑


Meiyin Wang (Hengxiang), Shinichi Fukushima (Nippo-De Rosa), Junrong Ho (OCBC Singapore) 三人一放行就走了


可惜兔子最後因為高熱爆炸了，離終點11km 處被追回

Aisan, Orica GreenEdge, Blanco, Garmin 試著搶peloton 的控制權，以便布局

最後1km，Blanco 把握機會，推出Graeme Brown 帶Theo Bos...髒手布朗帶得好，後面的人避免掄牆就失了機先

Theo Bos 剛過400m 就把所有JP4 灌進後燃器了

爽爽壓線


贏多少，這張比較明顯...


頒獎台上，Theo Bos 調皮的在攝影機上簽名
