2023: World tour world is ruled by 3 big dogs: 🐕 Aso ( Paris Niza , Dolphine, Tour, Vuelta… 🐩 Rcs ( Giro, Lombardía, Strade, Uae tour… 🐶 Flanders Classics ( Amstel, Omloop…) The monopolization of the organization of cycling races by three organizers poses a dilemma with pros and cons. On one hand, it can lead to greater standardization and professionalism in event management, potentially raising the quality of races and ensuring higher safety standards. However, this concentration of power can also limit the diversity of competitions, make it challenging for new organizers to enter the field, and ultimately increase costs for cyclists and spectators. The key lies in finding a balance that promotes healthy competition while ensuring excellence in the organization of cycling races.

A esto debemos apuntar, ciclovías de doble carril y segregadas, los beneficios son innumerables e innegables.

A big shout-out to #Team #Vittoria for this new achievement!

Formas urbanas para mejorar la convivencia…

For fun, I recently updated the data on the French "#TourDeFrance" cycling history to analyze how champions have improved their performance from 1919 to 2023. It's fascinating to see that the difference in pace between the winner and the median of all riders is only 1.8 km/h. Even more striking is the 2.8 km/h difference between the first and last rider. Considering the Tour de France spans over 3,000 km, the time difference translates to several hours. However, when you reflect on the speeds and paces achieved by all participants, it’s clear they are all elite athletes. https://lnkd.in/e5EbXVZN

Declaración Europea de Ciclismo. Parece ser que en Europa se alcanza el acuerdo para apoyar por igual, a nivel de Europa, las políticas destinadas a fomentar y mejorar el uso de la bicicleta. A ver si ahora que viene marcado desde Europa, conseguimos ver como en España, se apoya al 100% esas medidas.

El ciclismo en ruta es una disciplina apasionante

⏳ The last week before the Giro d'Italia has begun. This marks a key time for fantasy cycling players and our clients who run fantasy cycling games for the Tour of Italy. Fantasy players are keenly monitoring updates: - Have the team selections been announced? - Are there any last-minute dropouts? - Is my strategy on point? Meanwhile, our clients are closely tracking their metrics: - How many participants have we registered, including paid entries? - Is our communication strategy proceeding smoothly? - Should we implement a final marketing push? The last two to three days before the race starts are traditionally the busiest. As the deadline approaches, a final push is made. All the necessary information to assemble your ideal team is now available, setting the stage for an exciting and engaging 🇮🇹 Giro d'Italia. #fantasysports #fanengagement #fanexperience

STOP doing progressive warm-ups. START doing easy efforts to warm-up. Yes, life's busy and it feels real good to jump on your rollers for a power hour on the bike, but if you're looking to improve on the long-run, this is not the way to go. A lot of standardized training sessions and programs start their workout with a ramp-up from approx. 45% to 65% of your threshold power. What we observe for almost every cyclist is that this does not benefit their oxygenation. In this blog you can read how the professionals roll. Get a sneak peek of the new iOS app and learn how an optimized warm-up effects oxygenation and blood flow. Even when you are limited in time, make sure to get a 5-10 minute easy spin in, before you're doing the real work. *Sidenote, I have actually never seen a running program that ramps up the speed? Is running science ahead of cycling science?
