1. 恭喜老爺,賀喜夫人,Chris Horner 與Lampre-Merida 簽合約了





2. Bianchi 發表Belkin 車隊版Infinito CV

碧安琪:我終於把Di2 電池藏進車架裡了,哇哈哈哈...


據說與美國複合材公司MSC 合作開發Vibration Canceling Composite Technology

不同於TREK ISOSpeed,碧安琪在車架與前叉的碳紗之間夾入專利阻尼碳紗,讓整輛車得以減震

2013 Paris-Roubaix 第二名Vanmarcke 測試後表示:I was really eager to test my Infinito CV after as I was impressed by the innovative technology developed by Bianchi and since my first ride I noticed the difference: you cycle smoother over any surface. It will be a great support for me and the team at the classics.

又一家車廠投入減震車款的研發,究竟去年是不是Giant Defy 讓Vanmarcke 區居第二? 今年坎爺在石板路上到底會遇上多少攔路虎?

拭目以待!



3. UCI 總裁Brian Cookson 警告自行車壇,墨西哥與中國的瘦肉精(Clenbuterol)污染嚴重

他表示:It is widely acknowledged that there is a risk of meat contaminated with clenbuterol leading to a positive sample in an athlete. WADA has specifically drawn attention to this problem in China and Mexico. As a consequence the athletes who are under our care at the World Cycling Centre in Switzerland have been told that they should not eat meat in these countries. We believe that as a matter of caution you should consider giving this advice to all your athletes.

Inrng 的剖析



2. Movistar 分兵:Quintana 拼環義, Valverde 戰環法



3. Ben Johnson (Drapac) 訓練時被車撞

一些擦傷瘀傷,無大礙...只是New Zealand Cycle Classic 不能參加了



4. Specialized 不參加Eurobike 了

當然TREK 也已經2 年沒在Eurobike 展出

但Q 半仙覺得Specialized 在台灣的銷售行為也很奇怪...看看今年,一堆簽約店都被拔掉了...



5. 從澳洲最成功的洲際隊Avanti Racing 隊經理Andrew Christie-Johnson 訪談中,看看澳客是怎麼把明日之星拱上頂尖舞台...Part 1

Andrew Christie-Johnson 表示:When a rider joins the team it’s with the idea of making it to the highest level, that’s a common dream. That’s the rider’s dream, and that’s my dream.

Avanti Racing (前身為Huon-Genesys,2000 年成立於Hobart, Tasmania) 目前在頂尖賽壇的畢業生:Nathan Haas, Steele von Hoff, Richie Porte...以及Nathan Earle, Will Clarke...還有蛻變中的亞成鳥,2014 TDU 白衫得主:Jack Haig

看看畢業生們怎麼描繪Andrew Christie-Johnson


什麼樣的心胸,會出現什麼樣的人,帶出來的選手也會像他,力爭上游,逐夢偉大

Q 半仙也希望在有生之年可以看見台灣公路車壇出現這樣格局的人,把有天份的車手帶向國際...

跟著Shimano 中立車看比賽


Shimano 提供的備用車是Avanti Corsas(3 個不同尺寸,3 種卡踏系統)...備用輪上是Michelin Lithion 2


文末這一段實在很妙:While most riders and teams are good at giving their borrowed gear back, Marty spoke of some riders who go months without returning wheels.

最令Q 半仙有興趣的,莫過於馬牌這條競賽胎...




2. 職業車隊贊助商本業到底是什麼?|inrng



ㄣ...Q 半仙要講的是,找贊助,自行車業界窮得很,代工業更上不了檯面...

因此,台灣的代工業越發達,台灣越沒有品牌想走向國際,車隊就越難找到贊助

看看南寶樹脂車隊就是一個本土車隊的好例子,但要想跨出台灣,這樣是絕對不夠的...

再看看高士特車隊,Q 半仙猜一下,他們的主要戰場會在中國...

除非...



3. 除非有人錢多得放火燒都燒不完,又對自行車有興趣...像阿龍嫂這樣,說要挖沙公就真的開價碼出來...


330 萬歐/年,簽2 年

有錢,有管理團隊,有好的車手...一切水到渠成...台灣有什麼?熱情?

難得,賽前四色衫合照,全是澳客


Matteo Trentin (Omega Pharma-Quickstep), Jens Voigt (Trek), Juan Jose Lobato (Movistar), Mikhail Ignatyev (Katusha) 一開賽就出去當兔子


今天要拼爬坡終點,peloton 前半段輕鬆騎


爬第一趟Old Willunga Hill,兔子群中的Juan Jose Lobato (Movistar) 很快就繳械...剩三隻


最後16km,peloton 把剩下的兔子剝了皮燉肉(阿得雷德出好酒,燉肉正好...)

嚇!Jens Voigt (Trek) 再璀璨一次!!

Peloton 在最後的爬坡把他追回來

離終點2.2km,前Orica Greenedge 隊友Wes Sulzberger (Drapac) 點燃戰火

囧爺趁勢而起!

波提把他刷卡,開始了偉大的單飛


Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida), Simon Gerrans (Orica-Greenedge) 聯袂起飛,追上囧爺


Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida):嘿...你們幹嘛不跟... 澳客們:我們沒那麼有靈魂...


囧爺知道不追GC 1 一定泡湯,又不想被坐沙發,就這麼不輪不累


波提一路到底,他想要GC 1


順利壓線


Diego Ulissi (Lampre-Merida), Simon Gerrans (Orica-Greenedge) 啟動後燃器衝刺...囧爺囧囧囧

平路站,攻擊頻仍,最後兔子由Axel Domont (Ag2r-La Mondiale), Cameron Wurf (Cannondale) 扮演


昨天BMC-Sky 連線剝下了Simon Gerrans (Orica-Greenedge) 的赭石衫

今天Orica-Greenedge 將士用命討回來

第一衝刺點:Simon Gerrans 率先壓線,賺秒數...隊友麥狗屎第二,確保囧爺黃雀在後

第二衝刺點:Simon Gerrans 第二,又蛀了一點囧爺的優勢

隊友兩光,囧爺騎得極度不穩,被擠出賽道外(不要緊,囧爺XC 出身的)...車子不乖上不了大盤想換車,差點被後車追裝...果真囧爺

追回兔子,Lotto-Belisol 列車再現...這次沒問題了,龜波啟動後燃器!!


Daryl Impey (Orica-Greenedge) 又帶著Simon Gerrans (Orica-Greenedge) 衝...趕上來了!!

Simon Gerrans (Orica-Greenedge) 想賺秒數!!



龜波順利壓線


Simon Gerrans (Orica-Greenedge) 蠶食囧爺的領先秒數,兩人相差7 秒...車隊策略成功
