Plus de 164 personnes se sont impliquées directement lors de la première édition de la Journée québécoise des sentiers.Samedi dernier, le 29 mai, se déroulait à 10 endroits officiels la Journée québécoise des sentiers, une initiative conjointe de l'ADSVMQ et de la FQSC. Le but avoué de cette démarche: amener les amateurs de vélo de montagne à délaisser leurs montures le temps d'une journée et investir leur énergie directement dans les sentiers qui leur procurent tant d'émotions. La date était réservée dans les calendriers compétitifs provinciaux et régionaux, et ce sur l’étendue du territoire québécois, afin d’effectuer des travaux d’entretien pré-saison ou de développer de nouveaux sentiers. Les clubs cyclistes, ainsi que le grand public, étaient tous invités à participer et l'ont fait de belle façon.

1er Juin 2010: Journée Québécoise des sentiers au Mont Ste-Anne

From the questions they were asking us, we knew Pivot Cycles was working on something new for 2011 awhile back and we just came back from Moab after riding their new Phoenix DH bike. The craftsmanship, design and geometry of the new downhill bike is outstanding, making the Phoenix DH one of the most exciting new bike releases we've seen this year. We can already tell you that it's going to be good. Heck, their Aussie rider Mitch Delfs just scored a 15th place at the Maribor World Cup after only a few days of riding the new bike. Here's the full scoop and then some more.

Press release - UCI rejects accusations by Floyd Landis

Date:

20.05.2010

Description:

The International Cycling Union (UCI) categorically rejects accusations made by Mr Floyd Landis, in particular the allegation that a positive doping result by Lance Armstrong during the 2002 Tour of Switzerland was concealed after an agreement was reached between the American rider, his directeur sportif Mr Johan Bruyneel and the former UCI President, Mr Hein Verbruggen.

Deeply shocked by the gravity of this statement, which considerably impinges on the honour of all persons who have dedicated themselves to the fight against doping, the UCI wishes to clearly state that it has never changed or concealed a positive test result.

Press release - Declarations made by Floyd Landis: the UCI’s position

Date:

20.05.2010

Description:

The International Cycling Union has learned of the declarations made by Mr Floyd Landis and published in the Wall Street Journal.

The UCI regrets that Mr Landis has publicly accused individuals without allowing sufficient time for the relevant US authorities to investigate.

An impartial investigation is a fundamental right, as Mr Landis will understand having contested, for two years, the evidence of his breach of the Anti-Doping Rules in 2006.

The UCI will leave it to the individuals accused by Mr Landis to take the position they see fit with regards to this issue.

Race report from the BRIGADE

Date: 14.05.2010

Description:

The cross-country teams get a week off in the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup presented by Shimano, as the focus shifts to the first Gravity event of the 2010 season at Maribor, Slovenia. Maribor first appeared on the World Cup schedule in 1999 and, while having hosting cross-country events, is primarily known as a Downhill and 4-Cross venue. For 2010, Maribor will host round two of the 4-Cross series and the opening event in Downhill competition.

Maribor is known for fast courses that make good use of the local terrain, particularly rough, rocky sections and rooty, twisty runs through woods. For 2010, both the 4-Cross and Downhill courses will look familiar to riders, with minor changes only. However, it has been raining, which is expected to continue through the weekend. This has turned formerly fast, tight lines into muddy, slippery ones.
