Giro – Remco Evenepoel annonce sa participation au Tour d’Italie 2023

by archyde

He is always one step ahead. Remco Evenepoel announced last October that he would reveal his choice of whether or not to participate in the Tour of Italy in January. The 22-year-old prodigy has however confirmed his presence at the start of the next Giro from this Wednesday, November 30. The reigning world champion posted a video for this, relayed on the social networks of his team, Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl.

Evenepoel did not mention the Tour de France, in this message recorded from Italy, where he is carrying out reconnaissance. But everything suggests that we will have to wait until at least 2024 to see him at work on the biggest race in the world, given the difficulty of the Giro-Tour sequence. Especially since he will be under enormous pressure, on the occasion of his first Big Loop, hence the interest of approaching him fresh.

70.6 CLM Terminals

Remco Evenepoel will therefore be, barring a glitch by then, at the start of the 106th Tour of Italy (May 6-28), at Fossacesia Marina. He will find terrain that suits him, for three weeks, even if observing his ability to chain efforts at more than 2,000 meters in altitude will be very interesting. The argument that must have had the most weight in his eyes was the presence of three lap times, for a total of 70.6 kilometers covered in the time trial.

The winner of the Vuelta 2022 will not discover the Italian grand tour. He had experienced a painful contact with races of this type there, in 2021. Almost nine months after a serious injury following a fall during the Tour of Lombardy, Evenepoel had taken over the Giro. His shortness of breath was all the more logical, as the race progressed, and he had not taken the start of the 18th stage.

It will thus be a pseudo-first for him, if he arrives with a smooth start to the season, at the start of the Tour of Italy 2023. For the big premiere in France, we will therefore probably have to wait at least a year and a half, despite the last call of the foot of Christian Prudhommeon October 27, during the presentation of a Tour de France which includes only 22 kilometers of chrono.

Are you sitting all day? WHO warns that sedentary lifestyle will affect 500 million by 2030 – El Financiero

by archyde

Between 2020 and 2030, almost 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes or other chronic diseases attributable to physical inactivity, reported the World Health Organization (WHO).

If governments do not take urgent action to encourage greater physical activity among their populations, health centers could face costs for 27 billion dollars annually.

In his report on the global status of physical activity 2022, The WHO details that in 194 countries progress is slow, so the development and implementation of policies must be accelerated to increase levels of physical activity, in addition to prevent diseases and reduce the burden on the health system.

Among other data, the report highlights that:

  • Less than 50 percent of countries have a national physical activity policy.
  • Only 30 percent of countries have national physical activity guidelines for all age groups.
  • Almost all countries report a system to monitor physical activity in adults, while 75 percent monitor physical activity among adolescents, and less than 30 percent monitor physical activity in children under 5 years of age.
  • In policy areas that could encourage active and sustainable transport, only 40 per cent of countries have road design standards that make walking and cycling safer.

“We need more countries to scale up the implementation of policies to help people be more active through walking, cycling, and other sports and physical activities,” said the WHO director-general.

The doctor Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus He stressed that “the benefits are enormous, not only for the physical and mental health of people, but also for societies and the economy.”

According to the study, the economic burden of physical inactivity is significant and the cost of treating new cases of chronic diseases it will reach almost 300 billion dollars by 2030.

While national policies to address these diseases and physical inactivity have increased in recent years, currently 28 percent of the measures are neither funded nor implemented.

Boonen: “Van Aert and Evenepoel will need each other…”

by archyde

Wout Van Aert (Jumbo Visma) can look back on a successful season with wins over theOmloop Het Nieuwsbladl’E3 Saxo Bank Classicthree stage wins and the green jersey on the Tour de France… most Tom Boonen still issued criticism during an interview for The last news. “I heard he couldn’t have done better this year, but I don’t agree with that. The only thing missing this year is a Monument, they say. But that’s also all that matters. A rider of his level runs to win these races.” The legend of Belgian cycling returned to our colleagues on the season of the two stars Wout Van Aert et Remco Evenepoel.

“He once again lost a chance to win the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix”

“It’s good to be called the best rider in the world for months, but that’s not the point. Wout has to win classics. Ask him: he will also say that’s what he wants. At the same time, I don’t want to be too strict. Wout was having a very nice spring and he had the misfortune to retire because of the coronavirus at a crucial moment, just before the Tour of Flanders. The result was tough, he once again lost a chance to win the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Make no mistake, in the meantime, the years pass. I am convinced that he will still succeed, but will he win the Tour of Flanders three times and Roubaix four times? Champions run for these kinds of records. In addition, this other standard bearer of Belgian cycling, Remco Evenepoel, has taken a giant step this year with a victory in Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Vuelta a España and the World Championships.

“The relationship between Wout and Remco will be interesting to follow”

“Becoming world champion won’t be easier after this year. Evenepoel set a serious precedent. Last year you had the debacle in Leuven and the feud that followed, but at that time Remco was not really a competitor to Wout. He hadn’t gone anywhere until this year. There was a clear ranking: Wout was the leader and Remco was still the teammate. But in 2022 everything changed. Remco will never be behind Wout again. This change is permanent. It might sting Wout. The relationship between Wout and Remco will be interesting to watch. It will not always be as it is now. But it is certain that they will often meet and often need each other.”
