14ª DEL TOUR / TOUR 14TH

 

Jelle Vanendert gana merecidamente una etapa en la que Samu lo intentó y en la que los jefes aburrieron. Todo el mundo espera. Será lo lógico, lo razonable, pero no entretenido. Voeckler de amarillo, ¿hasta París? A lo mejor la tibieza de los demás lo permite. Estoy deseando que lleguen los Pirineos.

 

Jelle Vanendert won deservedly a stage in which Samu tried for it and the bosses bored. Everybody waits. It will be the most logical, the reasonable, but not fun. Voeckler in yellow, till Paris?  Other´s warmth might cause it. Cannot wait for the Pyrenees.

 

 

SUPER SAMU

 

Samu ha demostrado una inteligencia y una fuerza descomunales. Ha ganado la etapa en Luz Ardiden y maillot de la montaña en el décimo aniversario de la victoria de Laiseka en el mismo sitio. Voeckler bravísimo y nervios en el trío Schleck, Evans y Contador a flor de piel, sobre todo para Alberto. El sábado más.

 

Samu demonstrated a termendous intelligence and power. He has won the Luz de Ardiden stage and polka dot maillot in the tenth anniversary of Laiseka´s victory right here. Brave Voeckler and edgy nerves among Schleck, Evans and Contador, especially for the latter one. More on Sat.

 


AGUA / WATER

 

La regla de oro de 2 litros de agua al día se cuestiona. Las instituciones y organismos parecen ser más prudentes que las empresas comercializadoras de agua, como no. Un ciclista subiendo el Galibier a las cuatro de la tarde en un día de calor no tiene los mismos requerimientos que una persona viendo la tele con aire acondicionado. Parece que entre 1,5-2 litros al día para condiciones normales es una cantidad apropiada.

 

2 liters of water a day golden rule is being questioned. Public institutions seem to be more cautious than water selling companies, of course. A cyclist climbing the Galibier at 4pm in a hot day has not the same requirements that someone watching TV and with an air conditioning system on. It seems that 1,5-2 liters a day in normal conditions is a fair amount of water.


 

SPORT LAB &

BIOBIKE  

BIOBIKE is the most advanced and original cycle-ergometer maker in the world. For the first time you can modify the cycle-ergometer measures without having to give up pedaling or the cyclist to get off the cycle-ergometer. An array of actuators make that the distance between, per example, pedals and saddle or handlebar and bottom bracket can by changed by clicking your computer mouse.

 

The link between SPORT LAB and BIOBIKE is very intense facing a future that will make both companies go further on. Apart of distributing BIOBIKE in Spain, Portugal and South Amercia, BIOBIKE and SPORT LAB will develop a product range, will define marketing and commercial strategies and tackle the cycle-ergometer manufacturing  in Spain.

 

SPORT LAB deeply thanks BIOBIKE the trust they put in us and they both laid the foundation stone of a side by side futuro to BIOBIKE here.

SPORT LAB bases its expansion on creating an emerging branches network. From Granada to Peru, the SPORT LAB spirit has been inculcated and its method implemented to ensure that the same precision and accuracy reaches all of the SPORT LAB clients.

 

The last joining to our Branch network is the Canary Islands one. Pedro González, the Representative in the area and heart of this initiative, is a professional with a concepts assimilation capabilities that surprised us.

For months he alternated training and practices, as much at the SPORT LAB headquarters as along in the group sessions that have been carried out in different Spanish cities.

 

After this intense training period, SPORT LAB Canary Islands is ready to attend at their facilities to the insular demand as well to the vacational one who wants to combine health, cycling and fun.

MARTA DOMÍNGEZ EXCULPADA / MARTA DOMÍNGUEZ EXONERATED

 

La grandísima atleta española Marta Domínguez fue culpada de dopaje y de suministro de sustancias dopantes. Tras un espantoso vapuleo mediático a la Campeona del Mundo de 3.000, ha sido exculpada de todos los cargos que se le imputaban. No obtante, el juicio mediático ya emitió sentencia antes que la ley. Ánimo, Marta. Te debemos mucho y este que escribe, te lo reconoce.

 

The great Spanish athlete Marta Domínguez was blamed for doping and drug dealing. After a horrible media beating to the 3.000 World Champion, she has been exonerated from all of the charges she was imputed to. Nevertheless, she was subjected to a media judge that already pronnounced sentence before the law did it. Cheer, Marta. We owe a lot to you and the one who signs this, recognices it.
