Jde oddělit sport a politika?
Na letošní olympiádě se zdá, že ne. Nasvědčuje tomu vyřazení ukrajinského skeletonisty Heraskevyče, projevy amerických sportovců i gesta fanoušků. Poslechněte si náš nový podcast Krize.

To me, every edition is filled with great stories. However, it was in 2019 when Philippe Gilbert won. I remember watching it at my parents' home with my wife and brother; it was a lovely family moment. 😊 We were cheering for Zdeněk Štybar, obviously... 😉
Thank you! Great, I will listen to it as well. 😉
Thank you so much. I know about some of them and their activities on the local level, but - to be honest - I didn't know Hubert Opperman.
Thank you. Can we find any examples of professional road cyclists in the last few years who were in elective positions on the lists and, ultimately, were elected (e.g. in general elections)? I recall only Jozef Regec, who was a member of the Czech Senate (but the two-round system is used here)...
And what were their political parties? I remember this kind of activity by Colbrelli (Forza Italia) or Mancebo (Vox)... However, in many cases, it is just a way to support the parties and not to really run for the office.
There is only one possible answer - Chicago Blackhawks. I have been a fan for over 25 years (a few years longer than I have been following cycling 😮). This season is much better than the previous two or three, and they are playing really well (excluding the last two games).
Extremely happy to be part of the team involved in winning William Hill Sports Book of the Year 2025
Congratulations! 👏 I am looking forward to reading it! 😉

🇧🇪 Belgian journalist barred from 🇷🇼 Rwanda Worlds in 'mockery of press freedom'

Russia and Rwanda. Two countries annexing their neighbours. One is banned by the UCI, one gets a World Championships.
Lewis Mudge of Human Rights Watch asks what the difference is.
The UCI states that it and sport should be apolitical but has handed out gongs and championships to dictators and repressive regimes. I can't think of a single thing Lappartient has done to boost elite racing. His UCI presidency has essentially been a way to further his career rather than the sport
🇪🇸 Pello Bilbao criticises UCI over inconsistent bans
"I don't understand the hypocrisy of the UCI when they made a different decision with the Russian Gazprom. I don't understand the difference. Why do some yes and others no?”

Oścar Guerrero, Israel-Premier Tech DS on staying in 🇪🇸 #LaVuelta25
“If we drop out here, we know that from now on, we’ll be targeted at every race and we’ll have to get off here, there, everywhere.”

Former IPT manager Rik Verbrugge says team should change name. It could work in terms of not attracting protest. But it’d be superficial. Not sure if team owner Adams would want to, and he’s a very political figure, eg close to Netanyahu and been cultivating links with the far right in Europe…
Israel-Premier Tech has insisted it will continue racing at the Vuelta a España despite mounting protests and security concerns around its participation.

Germany bidding to host the Tour de France start in 2030, bid would celebrate 40 years of German unity and project gathering momentum, has been pitched to ASO www.spiegel.de/sport/tour-d... (🇩🇪)
Alessandro De Marchi has told me he is "happy and relieved" to no longer be riding for Israel-Premier Tech. "I wouldn’t be able to manage the feelings I have, to be able to be involved in something like that.”

Česká televize k letošní #TdF nepřipravila "pouze" výborné přenosy a podcasty, ale i Průvodce Tour de France. Skvělá práce Tomáše Jílka, @vojtechjirovec.bsky.social a @tomasekzdenek.bsky.social! 👏
Kromě popisu etap a soupisek týmů se třeba dozvíte i o stopě účastníků Závodu míru na Tour. 👇
Thank you, Thijs Niemantsverdriet, @nrc.nl, for the possibility to discuss the issue with you. 🤓
