1. Laurent Jalabert 訓練時出車禍，斷骨，無大礙



Jalabert 在2002 年從車壇退休之後，仍然繼續鍛鍊自己，參加三鐵，馬拉松等運動

上週還當Paris-Nice 車評

週一被車撞，斷了右脛骨以及手臂

他的partner Fanny Chassignet 接受採訪時表示：I want to reassure people that he’s ok this evening. He is not in a critical condition, it’s just fractures. We have been able to talk to him, his children too. We’ve seen him a few times and been able to reassure him and encourage him, and the messages he is receiving are doing him good too.

車變這樣


請各位看官出門騎車，千萬小心



2. Jayco-AIS WorldTour Academy Team 發表



這支車隊成員有：Caleb Ewan, Alex Edmondson. Alex Clements, Campbell Flakemore, Damien Howson, Brad Linfield, Alex Morgan, Mitch Mulhern, Adam Phelan(2012 環台賽總冠軍)

成立的目的是網羅澳洲U23 以下好手，培養他們成材，送到WorldTour 殿堂

CyclingNews 之前的報導成真，這支農場車隊從continental 規模轉變成國家隊形式

Cycling Australia High Performance Director, Kevin Tabotta 表示：We are always keen to implement new methodology and structure to our programs to ensure we are growing the high performance environments, and evolving to handle the current international scene. The Academy will provide increased international racing opportunities for our emerging talent and will also provide room for Australian UCI continental and NRS teams to have a greater involvement in the development of these young athletes. Additionally, this structure will help ensure that athletes stay motivated, professional and challenged throughout the long season. There will be great upward pressure, with riders on the fringes challenging for spots.

過不久，女子隊也會發表

看來，農場車隊由私人企業贊助並國家力量整合以衝高Wtour 車手養成率的時代來臨
