Statistics show that he had the best results in Astana
According to the last year's ranking, Astana is in 34th place, in Ineos is in 19th place, and in Muvistar is in 35th place. Well again different year different systems accrual of points, in my opinion, in recent years in each of three teams are equivalent. Absolutely.

1. “Now at SKY I will have a chance to fully realize myself.” 2. “I think that at Movistar I will feel like in my own team.” 3. “At Bahrain McLaren I will have more freedom.” 4.???????????????
What should I tell him? About freedom after Ineos - to the point, there will definitely be more of it. I don’t see any problem at all, the man told the truth. And before that, not everything turns out the way you want.
Well, in Ineos he was a full-fledged captain at the Giro. So don't. It’s his own fault for the Movistar, he could have skipped the Tour and gone to the Vuelta, but he wanted the Tour.
It’s not a fact that he had the general in mind. Maybe he was hinting that there were stages on the tour that we had the strength to take, but due to team formations, no one gave such an opportunity. Yes, and he was remembered in Ineos as reliable assistant, not the captain. The season will show whether relative freedom will be beneficial or not. Let him try, he is not deprived of talent, he is still able to show something.
Why did he take the stage at the Tour? There is simply a common misconception that he showed the best results in Astana, but all teams had one thing in common: a disastrous first season and a great second, and he didn’t fail not in Astana, not in Sky, not in Muvistar not once. The only thing that upsets me is the weak composition of Bahrain... They need two or three more good local players, but they haven’t signed them...

World track and road racing championships date back to 1893, when the first amateur racing championship was held in Chicago (USA), on the initiative of the International Cycling Association. Participants competed in three types of programs - sprint, leader race and 10 mile race. Most of them were Americans, who took all the prizes. The first champions were A. Zimmerman (sprint, 10 miles) and L. Mentis (race with the leader).
Subsequently, the Americans lost their leadership. Repeating the same success again in 1912 (the competition took place in New York), they continued until the end of the 70s. disappeared from the pages of the protocols of cycling competitions in all types of programs. Americans' interest in bicycles has given way to a passion for cars...
After 1912, no world championships were held in the United States. Europe has become the center of cycling life. All subsequent world championships were held here. Only twice did they take place in South America- in 1968 (Montevideo, Uruguay) and 1977. (San Cristobal, Venezuela) and once in Canada - 1974 (Montreal). The championships were held eight times each in Copenhagen and Paris, seven times in Zurich, six times in Amsterdam, five times each in Antwerp and Milan.
In 1960, the World Championship was held for the first time in a socialist country - in the GDR (Leipzig), and then twice (1969 and 1981) in Czechoslovakia (Brno).
Organizer international competitions and world championships was created in 1900 by the International Cycling Union - USI. Until 1913 inclusive, world championships were held annually. The First World War interrupted them for seven whole years. The Second World War disrupted the international ties of cyclists for six years (1940-1946).
In 1946, the first post-war, and the next - the 42nd world championship took place in Zurich. The Swiss Oscar Plattner won the sprint race.
In the future, French athletes are promoted to the ranks of the leading sprint racers. Over the entire period of their participation in the world championships (1893-1986), they won 47 medals in this most prestigious form of competition, of which 18 were gold.
Daniel Morelon achieved an impressive seven victories in the sprint. Michel Rousseau and Lucien Mishard were twice awarded the world champion title. The Italians have 14 sprint victories to their credit, of which the most striking ones are associated with the names of Valentino Gasparella, Sante Gaiardoni and Sergio Bianchetto. Racers from Great Britain have won the sprint twelve times, and nine from the Netherlands.
Soviet cyclists began participating in world championships in 1954, when our cycling federation was accepted into the USI. In the same year, at a competition in Cologne (Germany), he entered the top eight sprinters. And in 1957, at the World Championships in Liege (Belgium), he took part in the semi-finals for the first time, taking 4th place after the world champions Italians Pesenti and Gasparella.
Since the mid-60s. top sprint race Athletes from socialist countries are storming more and more persistently and successfully. Here the role of a pioneer fell to the lot of the Soviet cyclist, who became the world champion in 1965. In 1974, Anton Tkach (Czechoslovakia) achieved the same success, then the GDR riders Jurgen Geschke and (three times) and, finally, the first Soviet rider to win this title twice (1981 and 1982).
Racing with a leader also began to be practiced from the first world championship in 1893. Champion titles were played out in them until 1914. Then a long break followed, and only in 1958 this exciting and emotional type of track competition was again included in the program of world championships. In the early years, the cyclists themselves, sitting on tandems, triplets or quadruplets, acted as leaders. Then they began to use motorcycles specially equipped for this purpose. The competition distance also varied, but more often races were 100 versts and an hour race.
In 1896, at the World Championships in Copenhagen, our compatriot M. Dyakov from St. Petersburg, who had repeatedly won competitions for the title of “Best Rider of Russia” in 1891 - 1893, competed in the race with the leader. and held many world records. In the 100 km race he was led by a quadruplet. M. Dyakov beat his opponent by a whole lap in the final, but due to a broken quadruplet he could not maintain his advantage and took 2nd place, losing the championship to the Frenchman F. Ponskarma with a time of 2:34.12.4.
Since 1958, the championship in these races has passed to cyclists from the Netherlands and Germany. The Dutch have won gold medals 15 times, with G. Minneboo alone having five (1975-1977, 1980, 1982) and three bronze. Among the West German athletes, Rainer Podlesch stands out, with 2 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze medals. 2 gold medals for GDR cyclists.
Among Soviet riders, Mikhail Markov achieved the greatest success - 2nd place at the 1967 World Championships in Amsterdam. This result remains the best so far. By decision of the cycling federation, our cyclists no longer competed at the world championships, although we had riders whose success we could count on - repeated USSR champions Yu. Smirnov and V. Gubenkov, world record holder, as well as V. Popov. In connection with this, interest in racing with the leader in our country has fallen in recent years. Only enthusiasts engage in this type of track racing, although favorable conditions have been created for the development and improvement of the skills of racers with leaders - new high-speed tracks, special cars and suits.
A significant role in improving the holding of world championships in races with leaders was played by the decision of the USI steering committee, according to which only production cars could be used in competitions, and the leader could only compete in pairs with a driver from the same country and under its flag. This put an end to the vicious practice when, in the same competitions, leaders had the right to start with several athletes at once and, at their whim, lead some to victory and condemn others to defeat, as the Dutchman Walrawe did with the Soviet racer M. Markov in 1968 G.
The program of the World Championships gradually expanded in terms of types and number of participants. Since 1921, championships in road racing began to be held. Swede G. Skold became the first winner of the group road race, which started in the vicinity of Copenhagen. Then the Italians took the lead in this type of competition. From 1921 to 1986 they won 35 medals in group road races (now called individual races), of which 17 were gold. Cyclists from France became champions six times, and cyclists from Belgium, the Netherlands and the GDR five times each.
The first and so far only world champion among Soviet racers in this sport remains, who won this title in 1981. Second place was taken by Sergei Morozov (1977). Only two athletes managed to become two-time world champions in this event - the Italian G. Mortan (1930, 1932) and G.-A. Shuru from the GDR (1958, 1959).
Since 1946, the program of the world championships among amateurs and professionals included an individual pursuit race of 4 and 5 km. In the same year, the winner in it among amateurs was the Frenchman R. Riolan on the Zurich track with a result of 5.18.2. However, success then, until 1957, passed to the Italians, who won seven championship titles; The Dutch have 6 gold medals, the GDR 5. Soviet cycling masters have four victories to their credit. The initiative, which was made in 1979, was then repeated by Viktor Kupovets in 1983, and then twice in a row (1985, 1986). He also holds the world record at a distance of 4 km - 4.33.307 and a phenomenal world achievement - 4.26.077! The Dutchman Timen Grun, world champion 1964-1966, is also among the outstanding in pursuit racing. Detlef Mach from the GDR has three victories at the world championships (1981, 1982). The first world record at this distance was set in 1961 by V. Trepp (SW) - 4.52.1.
The team pursuit race for the same distance began to be played out at the world championships in 1962. Then, on the track in Milan, the first champions were the German riders - Pop, Rudolf, Mey, Klesges, and the Soviet quartet - L. Columbet, A. Bellegarde - also received the first medals were bronze. At all subsequent world championships, German riders managed to retain the championship in this type of competition, winning 13 medals. There are 15 medals in the asset Soviet team, but Germany has more first places - 7, the USSR - 6. GDR racers became world champions four times.
Since 1962, the World Championships program has been supplemented with new types of competitions. In 1962, a 100 km team race was held for the first time on the Brescia road course (Italy) (although this time the distance was 12 km longer). The hosts of the track, the Italians, became the winners, ahead of the teams of Denmark and Uruguay. Just like in the track race, the teams were made up of 4 people. In 1963, on a highway near Herestals (Belgium), Soviet cyclists achieved bronze medals. And finally, in 1970, V. Yardy, V. Likhachev, B. Shukhov, V. Sokolov became the first Soviet champions world in the 100-kilometer team race. This success was then repeated in 1977 and consolidated in 1983 and 1985. Soviet racers won 11 medals, and according to this indicator they took 1st place. Sweden has the same number of gold medals (4).
Since 1966, medals began to be awarded on the track in two new events - tandem and 1 km standing round. The first world champions in tandem racing were the famous French athletes D. Morelon and P. Trantin. The greatest number of victories in this type of competition (9) were won by cyclists of Czechoslovakia, and since 1980, veteran I. Kucirek and young P. Martinek have always won for four years in a row. Soviet cyclists, being Olympic champions in this type of program, were never world champions, content with silver medals (1973, 1974, 1977).
Pierre Trantin became the first world champion in the kilometer round with a result of 1:07.29. Largest quantity GDR riders won seven victories in this event, four of which were won by the Olympic champion. His teammate M. Malkhov holds the absolute world record for this distance - 1.02.091 - shown on a high-altitude track in Colorado Springs (USA). Of the Soviet cyclists, the palm belongs to (Omsk). He won the title of world champion in the round three times. His initiative was successfully continued by Sergey Kopylov (Tula), who won the champion title in 1983 with a world record for cement tracks - 1:03.94.
The additions to the track program did not end there. In 1976, a 50 km group points race with intermediate finishes was held for the first time at the Monteroni track (Italy). The Swiss W. Baumgartner won. Riders from Belgium and the GDR, Denmark, Czechoslovakia and one from Australia have two victories each in this type of competition. In 1987, Marat Taneyev became the world champion.
Women first entered the world tracks and highways in 1958. The first champion in the sprint was (Moscow). Subsequently, she successfully defended this high title more than once. Another Soviet racer (Leningrad) scored the same number of victories. Tula was the world champion three times. In the same year, the Tula woman became the world champion in the individual pursuit. Since 1967, her successor and fellow countrywoman began her triumphant performance, becoming world champion a record number of times - six. The famous English cyclist Burnle Burton won this title five times.
On the road, the first world champion in a group race was Elsa Jacobs (Luxembourg). True, this is where the success of cyclists in this country ended. Belgium holds the lead in terms of the number of champion titles won. Its female cyclists won road competitions 6 times, the French - 5. Soviet riders won the title of the strongest three times; was a pioneer here (1964). Soviet athletes have more second and third places than the Belgians, and their baggage is heavier in the overall standings. Cyclists from Great Britain and the Netherlands each achieved three victories on the road.
Bicycle like vehicle appeared about two centuries ago, and the first competitions began to be held in the second half of the 19th century. Thanks to their popularity, cycling disciplines were included in the program of world championships and Olympic Games. Mass cycling competitions are held in different countries. The Tour de France, Vuelta and Giro d'Italia are the most prestigious and expensive multi-day cycling tournaments.

The famous English cyclist Burnle Burton won this title five times. On the road, the first world champion in a group race was Elsa Jacobs (Luxembourg). True, this is where the success of cyclists in this country ended. Belgium holds the lead in terms of the number of champion titles won. Its female cyclists won road competitions 6 times, the French - 5. Soviet riders won the title of the strongest three times; the pioneer here was Emilia Sonck (1964). Soviet athletes have more second and third places than the Belgians, and their baggage is heavier in the overall standings. Cyclists from Great Britain and the Netherlands each achieved three victories on the road.

In the period from 1972 to 1994, competitions among amateur men are not held during the Olympic years
Until 1995, the World Championships included separate races for amateurs and professionals. There were exceptions in 1968 and 1968.
Since 1995, the championship has been held at the end of the European season, usually at the end of September after the Vuelta a España. Previously it was always held at the end of August or the first week of September.
In the period from 1997 to 2003, a championship was also held in “Category B”, where riders from countries where cycling is poorly developed participated.
World championships are held both on relatively flat tracks, in which case sprinters usually win, and on hilly terrain, where mountain specialists or all-rounders usually win.
Winning the group race at the World Championships and the overall title at two of the three Grand Tours (namely the Giro d'Italia Tour de France) form cycling's Triple Crown.
In the past few years, the men's group race - the main and perhaps the most intriguing event of the World Cycling Championships - has been a battleground for the strongest sprinters of the generation, among whom Peter Sagan became the winner three years in a row.
The fact that the hegemony of the star Slovak would probably be interrupted in 2018 became known long before the start of the world championship: the track in Innsbruck, in terms of its profile, was categorically not suitable for either him or the other speed finishers from the general group. The decisive climb with an average gradient of 11.5% made the Grand Tour-proven “miners” and universal specialists in one-day classic races the pre-start favorites of the World Cup. In particular, the Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe, who skated a great season as part of his most successful team - the Belgian Quick-Step Floors.
Taking into account the specifics of the route of the group race, the Russian team also hoped for a medal, betting on Ilnur Zakarin. The 29-year-old native of Naberezhnye Chelny did not shine in the current calendar year (he, for example, had his success at the Vuelta 2017, where he became third in the final general classification), but a strong individual move and the ability to survive even in the steepest mountains certainly gave the athlete a working chance of joining the fight for the world champion’s jersey.
Nevertheless, to participate in the distribution of places on the podium for the leader Russian team failed. Zakarin lost contact with the peloton about 45 km before the finish, unable to withstand the crazy pace set mainly by Spanish and Italian riders, and settled only in 57th position in the final protocol. However, this result cannot be called an outright failure. Before the World Championships, Ilnur rode two three-week races in a row - the Tour de France and the Vuelta - and did not have the strength left for the hilly 258-kilometer marathon in Innsbruck.
Not only Russian cyclists faced similar problems, but also, for example, the British: the nominal squires of Simon Yates were ready for the championship of the planet much better than the triumphant Vuelta 2018, whose first problems arose long before Zakarin dropped out of the general group. The strong Slovenian team, in turn, was unlucky. Its leader and rising star of super stage races, Primoz Roglic, lost his World Championship 65 km before the finish line, falling at one of the many turns.
Lots of attacks
The route of the group race, which was replete with ups and downs (before leaving for the final mountain, the athletes covered an almost 8 km long slope six times), contributed to numerous attacks: both outright no-names and really strong athletes went to overtake, to whose actions the opponents had to react in one way or another .
Michael Woods, who at a certain stage was 19 minutes behind the peloton and naturally deserved a mention in the Breakaway of the Day category, had no tangible chance of winning. However, already in the final third of the distance, the World Cup participants made several bold attacks, which at first glance seemed promising.
The teams of Spain and Italy, which had assembled the most powerful squads, simply tore the peloton apart, alternately sending forward specialists in solo breaks and venerable “miners”, including Vincenzo Nibali, in track record which means victories in the overall standings of each of the three super stage races of the world tour. The current one was active Olympic champion in the group race Greg van Avermaet: the Belgian's spurt, supported by the Spaniard Omar Fraile and the Italian Damiano Caruso, was managed to be extinguished by the whole group only 10 km after it began.
26-year-old Dane Michael Wahlgren came even closer to triumph. Having won two one-day classics at the end of the season, the cyclist “shot” on the last of six climbs up Ings Hill and had a 30-second advantage over his closest pursuers on the decisive mountain, but still did not make it to the finish line, showing nevertheless worthy of respect seventh result.
Valverde's long-awaited gold
The French spent almost the entire race distance in the middle of the peloton and did not remember anything special. And all because Thibaut Pinot and his equally eminent compatriots were saving their strength for the final climb, where they had to work for the main one. This part master plan the team did a great job: three representatives of the French national team were selected to the group of six athletes who rushed in pursuit of Valgren, which should have given the tricolors a colossal advantage when working uphill. But it suddenly became clear that Julian was not ready to ride at the same pace as the other leaders, and the competitors, sensing the weakness of the favorite, promptly threw him off the wheel about 9 km before the finish.
Alejandro Valverde handled the stressful situation better than anyone else. While the French, who went to the start without radio communications (and, therefore, had no opportunity to receive a timely hint from the command tent), were figuring out what to do next, the Spanish veteran responded to the dangerous attack of Michael Woods and did everything in his power to reduce as much as possible first group. In addition to the Spaniard, there were two left in it - a Canadian, the very fact of whose participation in the medal showdown can be regarded as a sensation, and the Frenchman Romain Bardet, a great “miner”, who climbed to the podium of the Tour de France twice in his career, but was unable to compete with 38 -year-old Valverde in the finishing sprint.
To really qualify for gold, Woods and Barda needed to achieve at least a minimal head start over the Spaniard at any cost - and they tried their best. Another thing is that Valverde, who stood on the World Championship podium six times but had never won it before, did not miss his chance. The most experienced Spaniard was in the lead throughout the last kilometer of the distance and jumped out of his wheel. The Frenchman was content with silver, but the Canadian will bring home bronze, only the second in the history of his country. The Dutchman Tom Dumoulan, who caught up with the medalists at the very last moment, did not have enough space on the podium (as well as the energy to compete for it).
“It's incredible. I fought as best I could and I have to thank the entire Spanish team, who worked ten out of ten. I saved my strength for the final sprint and fulfilled the dream of my whole life, becoming world champion,” Valverde commented on his success.
While talking with reporters, the Spaniard had difficulty holding back tears: having fully recovered from a fractured kneecap, suffered in the summer of 2017 at the first stage of the Tour de France, he still won the world championship on his 19th attempt. At the same time, Valverde was second in the list of the oldest athletes who achieved this achievement.
For the first time in his life, Alejandro will be able to start wearing the rainbow jersey of the world champion at Lombardy, the last significant race of the cycling season, which will take place on October 13 in Italy.
Valverde has not yet shared his plans for the future, but, apparently, he has no plans to retire.
“I wasn't sure I could overcome the injury I got last year, but I came back in good shape and won the World Championships. Everything that happens next is a gift from fate,” the Spaniard noted during a press conference in Innsbruck, where 15 years after his silver debut at the world championships, his dream finally came true.
World Road Cycling Championships 2018: the long-awaited Valverde and the absolute Remco
The World Road Cycling Championships in Austria ended with Spanish cyclist Alejandro Valverde winning the group race to win the rainbow jersey and tournament gold. The World Championships took place in Innsbruck from September 22 to 30. In the “elite” races, six sets of awards were competed for - in team, group, and individual races in women's and men's competitions. The Russian team was left without medals; the best result among the Russians was shown by the winner of the European Championship, Aigul Gareeva, who became 7th in the individual junior race. "Ale Vale!" The most rated event of the tournament is the men's group race. This time the Pitmen were among the favorites, and the route itself was recognized as one of the most difficult in history. It was clear that Slovakian Peter Sagan, winner of three previous world championships, was unlikely to be able to reach the finish line in the group of favorites. And so it happened - this time he remained out of the fight for the rainbow jersey, although the day before he released a special video with the leitmotif “Look into my eyes, do you see me as a four-time world champion?” Perhaps Sagan will become it, but in Innsbruck there was a race of a different specialization. Initially, many experts saw the Pitmen among the favorites - in particular, the winner of the Vuelta, Briton Simon Yates, Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe, and Italian Vincenzo Nibali. “Valverde, of course,” said Katusha Alpecin sports director Jose Azevedo and joked about the fact that the Spaniard is always among the winners. Entering Sunday, Valverde's career included 121 professional wins and six world championship podiums in the group race. A medal just wouldn’t suit him. On Sunday everything unfolded according to the most logical scenario. After a tough selection by the route of the Innsbruck group race, less than half of the peloton arrived at the finish line, and before everyone else - a small group of leaders, consisting of the winners of Innsbruck 2018, to which the Dutchman Tom Dumoulin was added at the last moment. © AFP 2018/ Christof STACHEAlejandro Valverde This quartet included Valverde, who at 38 years old could not afford to lose the fight for the rainbow jersey. “The inevitable happened,” he said after the finish. Frenchman Romain Bardet was second, Canadian Michael Woods finished third. Valverde (38 years 158 days) is now the second-oldest World Cup winner, second only to Dutchman Joop Zoetemelk, who won his title at 38 years 272 days. The Russian team started with two co-captains - Ilnur Zakarin and Sergei Chernetsky, while Zakarin, who fell at the Vuelta, worked for Chernetsky during the race. “The race was a knockout race, we drove fast all the time, people were lagging behind, we sorted it out at the last mountain. The tactics for the race were such that they left me to help Chernetsky,” said Zakarin. "Ilnur and I were like co-captains, but he started more to help me. The whole team worked for me today, everyone believed in me - Ilnur and Pasha Kochetkov were with me until the last mountain. This race was harder than that route , that I was at the Olympics in Rio, especially that very climb. I did everything I could, I worked as hard as I could. I can’t say that we did anything wrong tactically, everything went logical, but at the end they figured out who was doing well. ", noted Chernetsky. Super-Remco In the men's individual time trial race, Australian Roan Dennis won, giving more than a minute to the now former time trial world champion Dumoulin. But confident victory Dennisa took a backseat as the juniors started in the group race. Belgian Remco Evenepoel, a recent football player and the future, as many believe, “Eddy Merckx”, won the time trial in his first start in Innsbruck, and then won the group race. Few doubted that he would be able to win a second gold, but what matters is how exactly he did it. Evenepoel fell early in the race, made up a two-minute gap and then went into a solo breakaway. His lead was so confident that he crossed the finish line with the bike in his hands. “Remko is already tired. He just mocks everyone. It’s not interesting that he wins everything. Everyone knew that he would win today, and he won. It’s unrealistic to fight with him. Let him go with the “unders” already, I don’t know,” said holder of the junior world record on the track, Russian Lev Gonov, who was the best in the team both in the time trial (14th) and in the group race (35th). However, Evenepoel already has a contract with the World Tour team Quick-Step Floors, so next year he will be fighting with opponents above the level of Anderov racing. As for the "unders", in their group race the leader of the Russian team was Alexander Vlasov, who won the youth Giro d'Italia this season. In Innsbruck he finished 15th. "At first everyone stayed together, in the middle of the group calmly, then the guys took me forward, started the mountain in front, drove a couple of laps smoothly, and then the attacks began. I tried to stay ahead, but on the last lap I fell behind a little. I did everything I could, but the four of us were stuck behind the group of leaders. The track is, of course, difficult. All the strongest came here, and I gave the maximum of what I could. at the moment time. I got tired, I think, by the end of the season, and didn’t show all my capabilities here,” said Vlasov. Orange is the new gold If Evenepoel dominated in the juniors, then in the women’s races there were no equals to the Dutch. The individual race was won by Annemiek van Vleuten, and the group race with big advantage in a very confident solo - Anna van der Breggen. Among the Russians, the best result in the group race was shown by Anastasia Yakovenko (15th). “Yakovenko and Maria Novolodskaya fought with the most top athletes, who are not going to their first world championship and in general ride and have completed much more races than our athletes. Our riders have much less experience, but they fought with dignity, and besides, they are younger, We have a reserve and there is something to add to it," he said head coach Russian national team Irakli Abrahamyan. Novolodskaya fell in the individual race and remained out of the fight for medals. “This, of course, is disappointing and very unpleasant, because I would like to see her level against the background of the strongest top athletes. Masha rode what she was basically capable of. It is clear that after the fall it was difficult for her to gain the required speed and rhythm. The athlete she is promising, young, and we understood that it would be difficult for her to fight with the strongest for a place in the top 10 even without a fall,” he noted. Before the Youth Olympics, “We hoped that we would return with a medal from the World Championships, primarily in relation to the juniors and our “unders,” said Abrahamyan, summing up the results of the tournament. “The juniors had to show results, had to fight for victory, and we will "We will work on mistakes so that they do not repeat in the future. We have one of the strongest teams in the world in junior women's cycling. We will lead our leading athlete Aigul Gareeva to the level of world champion and Olympic champion." Gareeva herself admitted that she made several mistakes in the time trial, where she finished 7th. “There were problems with the helmet, it didn’t “cut” turns as it should... In the group race (8th) I tried to “pull” my rivals in those places where it would be especially difficult for everyone to respond. This is my first year at the championship peace, I will work on my mistakes in order to be higher next year,” she emphasized. On Monday, Gareeva, as the leader of the Russian team, will go to the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. “I will try to prove myself there. I have never competed so far from home,” the athlete admitted. A special championship At this world championship in last time medals were awarded in women's and men's team races, in which competitions were held not at the level of national teams, but among professional teams. The Belgian Quick-Step Floors won the men's competition, with Dutchman Niki Terpstra becoming the first and perhaps only 4-time world champion in history in this discipline. In the women's team competition, the German Canyon/Sram Racing won, the Russian Cogeas-Mettler came 11th. Starting next season, this type of program at the World Championships will be replaced by the mixed relay, and medals will be competed among teams. Within mixed relay men and women will complete the team race. For the first time this will happen in British Yorkshire, where the championship will be held world road cycling 2019.

Chernetsky: the group race at the World Championships was more difficult than at the Rio Olympics
Russian cyclist Sergei Chernetsky said that the group race at the World Championships was more difficult along the route than at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Chernetsky was the leader of the Russian team during the race and finished in 25th place. "Ilnur (Zakarin) and I were like co-captains, but he started more to help me. The whole team worked for me today, everyone believed in me - Ilnur and Pasha Kochetkov were with me until the last mountain. This race was harder, than the route that was at the Olympics in Rio, especially that very climb,” Chernetsky said by phone to RIA Novosti. “I did everything I could, I worked as hard as I could. I can’t say that we did anything wrong tactically, everything went logically, but at the end they figured out who was doing well. Valverde deserved the world title,” he added.
Abrahamyan: We were hoping for medals at the World Road Cycling Championships for juniors and “unders”
The head coach of the Russian national road cycling team, Irakli Abrahamyan, said that medal hopes at the World Championships in Innsbruck, Austria rested primarily on the junior women's team and the youth men's team in the age category up to 23 years old, but in the end the Russians were left without awards. Best result The Russian national team received 7th place from Aigul Gareeva in the individual junior time trial. “We hoped that we would return with a medal from the World Championships, primarily in relation to the juniors and our “unders,” Abrahamyan said by phone to RIA Novosti. “The juniors had to show results, had to fight for victory, and we will work on our mistakes, so that they do not happen again in the future. We have one of the strongest teams in the world in junior women's cycling. We will lead our leading athlete Aigul Gareeva to the level of world champion and Olympic champion. In the men's junior races it would be difficult for us to fight for a medal; the level of this team has risen, but not yet enough to compete with the strongest. We have young men who can replenish the junior team and strengthen it for the next season," he added. Abrahamyan also noted that medal hopes in particular were pinned on Alexander Vlasov, who won the youth Giro d'Italia this season. “He was supposed to reach his second peak of form for the World Championships, besides, he finished fourth in the Tour de l’Avenir, there was a very small gap from the podium. In terms of preparation for the World Championship, we have made some mistakes, we will take into account the mistakes so as not to repeat them in the future,” the coach emphasized. “Everyone knows that the leader of our women’s team Olga Zabelinskaya decided to change her sports citizenship, but I would like to mention Anastasia Yakovenko ( 15th in the group race) and Maria Novolodskaya, who competed with the top athletes, who are not going to their first world championship and generally ride and have completed much more races than our athletes. Our riders have much less experience, but they fought with dignity, and besides, they are younger, we have a reserve and have something to improve on,” he concluded.

The main cycling news in Russia and the world today, September 30: Who are all these people? Guide to cycling fan categories
Many people ask this question when they see fans at cycling races who go to a foreign country to see the peloton passing by for a second. RIA Novosti correspondent Veronika Gibadieva talks about the main categories of miracle fans for which cycling is famous.
On the morning of 2012, I was rushing to get ready for the World Championship race when suddenly there was a knock on the door. It sounds ominous, and it looked too... demonic. When I opened the door, a couple of “devils” were looking at me.
We're stuck here! There are no trains going towards Mastricht, says the “Satan” in Norwegian coloring. - Phones don't pick up. We need to go to the race!
Here is the border between Belgium and the Netherlands, there are constant glitches. There is already a normal connection behind the barrier.
Help with a taxi, will you? You know the phone number.
Actually, I’m from Russia, I don’t know the phone number, but now we’ll come up with something.
The Spaniards were already crowded behind the “devils”. They can’t really say anything, but one of them had a flag with the name of Freire (Spanish cyclist)... The heart trembled, and everyone together, under this same flag (Oscar!), dragged themselves to the neighboring house for help. Without any further questions, the owners, who were hurrying to the race, helped call two minibuses, into which our saviors, “devils” of different nationalities, the same Spaniards and the Italian grandfather, sat down on a box of beer, were loaded. Actually, along with this box, the Norwegians later dragged it to Cauberg.
Who are all these people? This text is intended to answer the question - who are they, people who are ready to stand on the track all day to see how the peloton flies past them in a few seconds. Let's start with the largest category of cycling fans.
Fan groups
“I am Dumolist” is the inscription on the T-shirts of very tall guys who are going to the finish line as a group. Holding an orange flag and a roll of pink toilet paper (sorry, Tom). Yes, these are Dumoulin fans. He has his own fan club, like all cycling stars, and not only stars.
Loyal fans release T-shirts with special prints, launch promotions on social networks, or get weird in “real life” by putting a “Purito” T-shirt on a life-size doll of Alberto Contador.
All of them are at the start, then at the finish, some are at the intermediate mark, some are near the food point. They are friendly, organized and generally well behaved. They certainly don’t sprint with selfie sticks, but simply wait for their idols by the bus to get another autograph or take a photo.

Family contract
At the Rio de Janeiro Games, organizers hurriedly drew olympic rings at the finish line, but the families and friends of the Dutch racers were much better prepared. They arrived early, hung up flags and banners, and wrote down who and for whom. They were looking forward to van Vleuten at the finish line, but Annemiek suffered a spinal injury in that really tough race. In general, “orange” sadness and sadness, but the very next year she managed to win gold at the World Championships. The footage of van Vleuten running to the finish line to his mother went around the whole world - the film crews, as usual, knew where they were waiting for the champion and where the most important emotions were today.
People of the place
The iconic spots where all the partygoers gather are well known to cycling fans. In spring, this is, first of all, Arenberg - a terrible forest with a road made of paving stones. You've probably seen these shots that beg to be engraved. There are also practically bare trees, crowds of people with Belgian flags, portraits of Tom Boonen, Philippe Gilbert, Peter Sagan, Eddy Merckx, of course. This is the kingdom of potatoes with mayonnaise, beer, warmer jackets, and hard cobblestones. Yes, this is the spring branch of “hell”, fortunately, in recent years it has been quite warm, because there has been no rain or heavy weather at the legendary “Paris-Roubaix” for many years.
In the summer, if the organizers of the Tour de France want, the point of attraction will be Alpe d'Huez - the famous "Dutch corner", where everything is orange, where there are Smurf costumes, the same potatoes with mayonnaise, but the weather is warmer, the holiday is higher and for a new one okay. There, on the quiet, you can always help the racer get to the finish line by giving him a glass of beer. Funny people who have climbed so high even know who to give this beer to. Adam Hansen, for example, is a win-win option. definitely won't give up beer.

Whole region
It’s the “orange” who are the first to try to enter the “Dutch part” of the Alps d’Huez. It’s generally a tradition to greet your fans, your region, your city, and if the route allows, you may even be able to drive solo past your own home. Therefore, when you at the Grand Tour, at the Giro, for example, you know exactly whose region you are in. Banners, flags, names on the road - all this in honor of local heroes. And of course, local fan clubs, families and families come to the finish line. friends not only of the riders, but also of the staff.
Superfans
A separate category. Everyone knows the “red devil” that accompanies the most important races of the season. But every team and many drivers have their own superfan. In Russian cycling it’s Slava Osipov, he goes to the main races, he swings Russian flag, rides a bicycle himself and even wears earflaps in the main color of the Grand Tour.
The very best
Well, the most important category of fans are people who just came to see how it would be. They get out to the track very early, park next to the road, and then have a barbecue. Nearby are children wearing the colors of their favorite team or the current team of their favorite racer. You'll see if you're lucky and he'll give you a barrel or a cap. In fact, this happens much more often than is captured on camera.
They are the same mysterious people who wait all day for a second meeting with the peloton. In fact, it's simple: they can't live without it. They are part of this culture, and this culture is an integral part of their lives. Their idols are always with them. Therefore, if you come to the race, do not be surprised if Eddy Merckx calmly passes by you or Mario Cipollini passes by.
Cycling, despite all its problems in the past, continues to attract huge audiences, breaking records in the number of fans at the races and on TV screens. At the same time, cycling remains the most open of all sports worlds with many interesting characters, incredible adventures, beautiful peaks and an exceptional audience that everyone can be a part of. By the way, even the most famous racer.

As Denis Menshov once said: “I have never gone to a race as a fan before, but perhaps the day will come when I will come somewhere in the Pyrenees, sit next to the track and drink beer.”
And you, if one day you find yourself close to a big race, don’t miss the opportunity to get acquainted with a new culture and cheer for the Russian racers, of course. Although, cycling is such an international thing. Maybe the Dumolist in you will come out, or you might become the next Devil to haunt the peloton for decades. In general, do not limit yourself in anything.
