108th Tour de France (2.UWT) Stage 4»Redon›Fougères(150.4km)
Gepost door Clavan
De 4e etappe van de Ronde van Frankrijk speelt zich af in het binnenland van Bretagne. Over vlak tot glooiend terrein rijden de renners in 150,4 kilometer van Redon naar Fougères.
Voor de zesde maal ontvangt Fougères de Tour. In 1985 won het La Vie Claire van Bernard Hinault hier een ploegentijdrit vóór het Nederlandse Kwantum en Panasonic.

En in 2015 kwam Mark Cavendish als eerste over de streep. Met die etappe was iets bijzonders aan de hand, want het peloton koerste die dag zonder gele trui in zijn midden. Tony Martin stond na zes ritten aan de leiding van het klassement, maar kon niet meer van start gaan omdat hij een dag eerder zijn sleutelbeen had gebroken bij een val in Le Havre.
Het kan bijna niet anders of het wordt ook nu een sprintersfeestje. Het parcours is namelijk zo goed als vlak.
Gelegen op beide oevers van de rivier de Nançon is Fougères een pittoresk stadje met vakwerkhuizen, geplaveide straten en een van de grootste middeleeuwse forten van Europa. Vroeger was het omgeven door moerassen, waardoor het vrijwel onmogelijk was om in te nemen.
De eerste drie renners aan de meet krijgen 10, 6 en 4 bonificatieseconden.
De 4e etappe van de Tour de France start om 13.25 uur en de race finisht naar verwachting rond 17.00 uur.

The Pélissier brothers Francis and Henri have a lighter moment during the 15th stage.

Not only have the roads changed over the last 70 years, the nature of the traffic is also very different.
Henri Pelissier with the winner's bouquet. How many Tours would he have won if he had been able to find a way to get along with Desgrange?
The Pélissier cycling family.
Where this formula went awry was that over time, Papa discovered the eldest of his three boys, Henri, was just as stubborn as himself. What Papa was late to discover was that Henri also marched to different values, or at least those values displaced to another arena. At first it was just transportation, but bit by bit little Henri discovered how much pleasure there was in riding a bike, especially when anatomical feedback of feeling strong led to the psychological feedback of beating his buddies up little hills. Intoxicating stuff. Of course, Henri tried to hide his growing involvement, but it was only a matter of time before his "foolishness" was discovered and Papa laid down the law, "Choose life at home or the bike somewhere else." Papa was stunned when Henri disappeared. Papa had no idea of his son's talents, desires, and devious capabilities. Henri had foreseen the inevitable, had attracted the eye of important people in local cycling circles, had lined up a little money and a place to stay, and when Papa gave him the anticipated ultimatum, Henri was ready to act. Papa cried and moaned about his ingrate son and determined that whatever mistakes he'd made in the past would not be repeated in the future.
So the next in line, Francis, was watched even more closely than his older brother. The dark shadow of WWI had just fallen across the land and Francis had little option but to follow the path his father laid out. Go to school and work in the garage, and after that try to get enough sleep and food to be able to go through the routine all over again. But once again Papa was a little less omnipotent that he had presumed. Henri and Francis had remained "best buds", and sneaked in regular training, so by the end of the war Francis was prepared to escape to the exciting world Henri had discovered.
Francis bolted before the ink was dry on the Treaty of Versailles. Together, Henri and Francis became comrades in wheels. They were as merciless to others as their father had been to them. In 1921 they revolted against their employer because they felt he under-appreciated them and took a job with a small rival. The contract with their new rival stipulated a modest salary unless they won Paris-Roubaix. Henri and Francis finished that race, one - two! Later in the same year Francis won Paris-Tours in a glacial snowstorm, annihilating the handful of survivors.
Both won Tour stages aplenty, and in 1923 Henri finally won the thing (a decade after his first entry), but it was in 1924 that the prickly Pélissier temperament best showed itself. Henri Desgrange, creator and dictator of the Tour de France, imposed a rule that a rider might start a stage with as many jerseys as he wished, but at the finish he had to have the same number. Conditions at the four A.M. mountain starts were much colder than the finishes eight hours later, and Henri refused to comply with such an unnecessary and bothersome rule. Henri and Francis stopped at a village midway and gave a celebrated interview to the journalist, Albert Londres. Londres titled his piece Convicts of the Road.
Charles naturally had to have his tilt at the cycling windmill, but not before crossing the fiery brook, his father. As the last one left, Charles had almost been put in chains by Papa. Charles got out, but what didn't follow was an instant rise to stardom. He clung, like an obedient puppy, to his brothers' wheels, but the results were less than France expected of a Pélissier.
To compound matters, sweet Charles surrendered to temptation. He fell in love with a beautiful lady of, er, "blemished" reputation. His brothers teased him mercilessly, demanding he choose between the real queen, cycling, and this "worldly mackerel." The papers discovered Charles' "problem" and enjoyed themselves immensely. They depicted this woman as a louse sucking poor Charles' blood. Eventually Charles threw her in a river and returned to "le velo" unencumbered.
He went on to a respectable career, capped by a sensational 1930 Tour de France in which he won eight stages, a record he still shares with Eddy Merckx and Freddy Maertens.
Henri was shot to death by his mistress in 1935, but Charles and Francis lived on until 1959. Both remained associated with the sport, Charles as a meet-and-greet at the six-day races and Francis as a directeur sportif. He became known as the "Wizard of Bordeaux-Paris" for all the novel ways he was able to guide riders to victory in that event. His last contribution to cycling was to help guide the early career of Jacques Anquetil.

Hah, te veel mixed emotions, wat een heerlijk slot
Deal with it.
Van der Poel heeft er zin an. Lekker van voren blijven zodat de kans op een val kleiner wordt. En morgen gewoon keihard fietsen. Maar ik vermoed dat die Alaphilippe toch meer dan acht secondes sneller is dan die Van der Poel. Echter, mooi sneven heeft ook wel iets. Maar om nou mijn haar met motorolie te gaan wassen? 
Pogacar gaat morgen winnen. Roglic is net iets te gehavend.

Je bent wel in de weer met allerlei metertjes. Zeer nieuwerwets, al die metertjes. Te nieuwerwets, vind ik. Maar .... let op, vind ik. Ik weet dat ik heel subjectief ben wat betreft die metertjes. En dat ik er dus eigenlijk naast zit. Zou het niet kunnen dat jouw allergie jegens AP 's voorstel teveel lijkt op mijn allergie jegens metertjes?
Overigens moet AP's voorstel, dat ik trouwens zelf al had bedacht, van alle kanten worden bekeken en eerst in de praktijk worden getest.
Af en toe is AP mij te politiek "correct". Dat over rotouders, dat blijf ik bizarrrrh vinden. Niks allergie mijnerzijds. Mafheid AP's zijde. O ja, dat zeg ik gewoon. Maar anderzijds. af en toe is die AP van ons hartverwarmend zakelijk zonder gekkigheidjes.
Binnenkort worden we opgezadeld met slavernijdag. Een dag van de arbeid, ho maar. Maar slavernijdag komt eraan. Mijn vraag is, geldt die dag dan ook voor de zogeheten slaven van de weg?

Eens. Er is 100% een probleem. We signaleren alleen beiden dat het probleeme ergens anders ligt, wat kan
