TV Raymond Kerckhoffs: Tour intervenes – Telegraaf.nl

the success of Chris Froome’s nothing to debate. Even more than in his previous two final wins British Kenyan was sovereign and he also managed to add to his heroic victory. Surrounded by the strong collective of Team Sky came his position never in danger. The gloss of the real hand-to-hand combat was missing. Patrick Lefevere described the Tour of Froome as frugal, “I would call it a Anquetil of the 21st century. With calculator in the trailer and the wattage meters at the wheel”

In everyday life are rules laws and conditions adapted to changes in society. To avoid traffic jams is changed road. If the demand for some products increases, there will be more stores emerge in the industry.

The leveling in the pack is a development that has been going on for years. Even after the hilly classics and many smaller rounds we have been complaining for some time that the charts still waiting longer. Because the doping excesses seem to have disappeared, the further globalization of cycling and improved training methods are available to everyone, the top becoming wider.

the Irishman Daniel Martin (ninth) explained perfectly. In the Dauphiné, he kicked the same wattage as the Tour. Since four riders uphill remained about, here are there twenty-four. Unfortunately for the competition were among the twenty invariably six riders from Team Sky allowing total control of the 32 million-dollar British elite corps prevailed.

The predictability of the price trend will ensure that more and more people drop out for hours watch the live reports. The popularity of cycling and thus the Tour de France is thus in danger. For years it was waiting for who first would intervene in the current cycling model. That commercially largest party, Tour organizer ASO, that step move was expected. This weekend was Tour director Christian Prudhomme announced that the teams will be reduced from next year from nine to eight riders.

It’s a small operation, but it is in any case a first step. It is now up to the UCI and other organizers to implement further maatregels. A further reduction of the teams, a ban on the wattage meters, more bonus seconds on the way, a system for WorldTour points are all ideas that are put forward. The current cycling model should partly overhauled wants cycling continue to compete with other sports
