4. 盤爺表示:會參加Milan-San Remo,但不會太認真拼



去年在Le Manie 爬坡,被Liquigas-Cannondale 玩殘了...果然造成創傷症候群...XD



5. 該讓增強表現藥物合法化嗎?|inrng



inrng 這麼主張
5.1. First this is not like prohibition of alcohol or narcotics. Many drinkers might want a bottle of beer or a glass of wine but in doping the point is to get the edge on a rival, therefore to consume more than others. If some athletes were to take substances under correct medical supervision then others will not and will seek out doctors willing to give them megadoses or harmful medicine in order to get an edge. There’s no moderation here, you go from top-up to health risk in no time.
5.2. Second most banned substances are banned for a reason. Take growth hormone, consume enough to alter performance and you are consuming enough to cause medical concerns, such as the raising the risk of cancer or heart disease
5.3. There’s also a practical consideration in that drugs like the blood-boosting EPO just aren’t available for sports use. A doctor can’t prescribe them unless a patient is sick and even if sport allowed the use of these substances, wider society still regulates pharmaceuticals more than almost any other product
5.4. Also would you like to turn pro if taking pharmaceuticals was part of being a professional? Would this not encourage amateurs to imitate? Again it does not seem a very encouraging prospect


而牛津大學倫理學教授Savulescu 則表示:EPO should be allowed so cyclists can top up their red blood cell count, the haematocrit. After all athletes can go to altitude or use a tent so using EPO is fair too. After all a course of EPO is cheaper than spending weeks at altitude. If the result is the same then we should test for the health of athletes, for example checking that their blood is not too thick.

“One molecule of a growth hormone could not harm you, neither could two molecules. Finding and administering the safe dose is precisely what would be done in an open doping market.”
Der Spiegel, July 2012


Well...這個嘛~~Q 半仙認為要是開放就不再是車手之間的競爭了,車隊的戰術戰略也會不同(均速43kph 會比39kph 更有看頭?)

請個強的隊醫,好好控管就能贏比賽啦...拿人體當生化引擎操,這比F1 車隊偷偷越界還無良

玩過Pro Cycling Manager 這款電動嗎? 開放禁藥非常有可能會變成這樣子...



6. Michiel vd Heijden 在Twitter 上PO 出這輛車,搭載Shimano Di2 hydraulic road disc brake 的技安CX 戰馬

1. Katusha 真是否極泰來,確定參加Tour, Paris-Nice, Critérium du Dauphiné

ASO 真的很給面子!Paris-Nice(已發布外卡:Europcar, Cofidis, Sojasun, IAM Cycling), Critérium du Dauphiné(已發布外卡:Europcar, Cofidis, Bretagne-Séché, Team NetApp-Endura),就23 隊下去跑吧

環法外卡還沒發出邀請函,所以確定只邀請3 隊(平時是4 隊),維持22 隊出賽

再來就看RCA 囉...


2.
Caja Rural 獲得青睞,有了第二贊助商




銀行保險業務挹注

恭喜呀! 隊名要改成Caja Rural-Seguros RGA

幾家歡樂幾家愁的,另一支Pro-Continental team, Andalusia 卻宣佈因為財務困窘,無以為繼了...西班牙經濟蕭條還是很嚴重啊...

因此目前西班牙在最高的2 個等級有3 支車隊:Movistar, Euskaltel-Euskadi, Caja Rural



以下跟車有關

3. ENVE 發表CLASSICS WHEELSET





DT Swiss 350 花鼓配Mach Prime 鋼絲(這那一家呀),Made in USA 框,5 年保固

因此目前ENVE 輪組產品分佈如下(不含Smart Aero 輪)


官方聲明稿:Through a strategic partnership with ENVE’s spoke and hub suppliers, ENVE will now be offering the 25, 45, and 65 Classic rim models as complete builds on DT Swiss 350 hubs. The addition of this new DT spec to ENVE’s current hub offerings allows for the American Made ENVE Classic rims to be offered at a new price point without sacrificing ENVE’s known and proven ride quality and durability.

The ENVE Classics were introduced to the high-end wheel market in 2007 and have steadily forged a niche in the competitive carbon fiber wheel market with their innovative features, trusted durability and unique ride quality. ENVE CEO Sarah Lehman said, “Our Classic wheel line represents the heritage of ENVE design and technology. Being able to share these technologies with more cyclists is exciting for us since it’s all about the ride experience at ENVE.”

ENVE Technologies that were born with the ENVE Classics include Molded in Spoke Hole Technology (US Patent No. 8,313,155), engineered carbon brake surfaces, fully removable bladder systems, and dedicated U.S. rim manufacturing. When all of these technologies come together, the result is an ultra-durable carbon fiber wheel set that is designed and tested to be used as both a training and race wheel.

ENVE Marketing Manager Jake Pantone commented, “From the beginning, consumers and dealers have expressed their desire for a lower entry point to an ENVE wheel set, but to do so would have required a departure from ENVE’s core competencies. Ultimately we found a creative solution and are able to offer the consumer a light-weight American built rim, DT Swiss hub, bladed spokes, and ENVE’s 5-Year Warranty at an excellent price point.”


DT350 Classics wheel 已經開始出貨了,有興趣的看官快通殺!







是的,我的確是這樣看三鐵人...XD

1. UCI 確認2013 賽季會有19 WorldTour 隊

UCI 發出新聞稿:The UCI today announced that exceptionally there are 19 registered UCI ProTeams in the 2013 season. The decision comes further to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) ruling of 15 February 2013 which upheld the application of Katusha Management SA to be registered as a UCI ProTeam for the season 2013.

J-Rod:哇哈哈!!


這下RCA 與ASO 等賽事主辦單位頭痛了...是要減少每隊參賽人數以便多擠一隊進start list,還是削掉一隊外卡?



2. Joe Dombrowski(Team Sky) 在Tour of Oman 2013 表現搶眼



21 才,娃娃臉的奶油亞成鳥讓Sky 大頭David Brailsford 這麼讚賞:Young Joe Dombrowski rode 90 kilometres on the front [on Saturday] which he's never done before. It's great experience for him, something different and a nice little box ticked for him.

小傢伙2010 年才開始比賽,去年展現爬坡能耐成為第一位拿到Baby Giro 的米國人,馬上被SKY 簽走

3. 未來的禁藥趨勢--HIF stabilisers|Cycling Tips



說在前頭,這是教育各位看倌遠離歧途,不是讓你們知道怎麼作弊...AQ 報報唾棄使用禁藥


高強度的騎乘會產生氧債,然後就會貢鼎,不管你想拼GC 還是衝終點,機會越來越渺茫

現在的訓練絕對可能把肌肉強化到可以吸收氧氣,產生足以致勝的能量

因此血氧量變成關鍵,於是我們熟知的EPO--用來增加紅血球數量,成為大家耳熟能詳的禁藥

但EPO 已經過氣了...

現在是基因療法的時代,於是2004 年德國教練被抓到使用Repoxygen(促進紅血球生長的基因藥物),2008 年京奧有德國記者假扮游泳教練讓不具名的中國醫生施打幹細胞...目前這些基因藥物對健康人體有啥機轉還無法完全得知,但動物臨床實驗上已經出現致命性貧血以及血球太多而導致血栓

人定勝天...遲早這些藥會被修正到實用的


因為氧債的產生,科學家們就去找會傳遞氧債訊號的蛋白質--HIF

HIF 在體內被活化之後,會產生以下反應以加速償債
- the production of EPO
- the way the cells generate energy
- the creation of veins and blood vessels (called VEGF: vascular endothelial growth factor)
- the supply of iron (important for red cell production)

於是找到了HIF stabilisers,一個化學小分子,可以簡單的打成錠劑,容易控制吸收,輕鬆代謝,極難在尿液與血液樣本當中抓包

目前已經在臨床試驗

這...看起來簡直是 the holy grail of doping !!!

可以縮短訓練時間,短短幾週或是幾個月內心肺功能與肌肉再度達到高峰


HIF stabilisers 在療效,安全性,以及對於免疫系統上還沒被研究透徹...車壇上也還沒有乳摸

只是時間問題吧...

特別是這一段讀者提問

When you go down in a crash and break your collarbone, who provides the medical insurance? The race organiser? The team? Is it your own? How well looked after are you in some of these hospitals? What are the best and worst countries to be in hospital? – Anonymous

I have been lucky enough to not have to rely on medical insurance too often during my cycling career but it usually goes through my own health insurance, even though I’m sure the race organiser and the team have great insurance as well. When it’s not necessary to go to hospital following a crash the team carries the costs of bandages, antibiotics and pain medication, for instance, which the team doctor will always have with him.

I have been in hospitals in France, Belgium, The Netherlands and just recently Qatar. The best hospital was Qatar – they have a hospital just for sports and have the best doctors from all over the world working there. I even had a few doctors and nurses waiting for me when I arrived at the hospital!

Luckily I haven’t been in any bad hospitals and hope it stays that way. But pretty much all of our races are in very well developed countries so I don’t expect to ever end up in a bad hospital.

1. CAS 裁定Katusha 有資格拿WorldTour licence

“According to the CAS decision, the application of Katusha Management SA to be registered as a UCI ProTeam for the season 2013 of the UCI World Tour is granted.”

UCI 隨後發表聲明:The UCI acknowledges the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) decision to uphold the application of Katusha Management SA to be registered as a UCI ProTeam for the season 2013. The appeal to CAS followed the decision of the Licence Commission on December 7, 2012 denying the registration on the basis of the ethical criterion applicable to such registration.

The UCI will now evaluate the consequences of this ruling and will communicate further in coming days, as soon as such evaluation has taken place.


J-Rod 也第一時間知道這個消息,應該不會離隊了...他也認為,Katusha 確定會是ProTour,但也不希望目前本上任何一隊被降級...那就19 支ProTour 吧...

反正該頭痛的是UCI

但Q 半仙認為,老謀深算的UCI 早就想到會有今天
1. CAS 也一起婊了Katusha 最好
2. 如果Katusha 確定要擠進來,那...就..."迫於現實壓力"放19 支車隊在ProTour 榜,大家都開心
3. 如此一來,McQuaid 放出大利多,對於他未來的連任之路,也許會比較有人挺他,而不選美帝LeMond

天曉得...
