ROMA – It was not Coppi and Bartali, but he ran with them and scored the same indelible pages of the history of Italian cycling and worldwide. Alfredo Martini during his long life until the last kilometer, dying at his home in Sesto Fiorentino at the age of 93 years (completed in February). For all has always been ‘the father’ of cycling, for many still ‘coach’.
runner has had an honest life gregarious, close to great as Coppi and Bartali. Immense instead in his life twenty years from coach. The Giro he remembered with more emotion was that of ’46. “Paris was bombed, the tour did not come, and then all were in Italy – said on the occasion of his 90th birthday – there was the question of Trieste, but Torriani and Cougnet wanted to pass on the same tour there and the Americans considered it a provocation. A Pieris threw stones and flowers and many runners are injured, later we were shooting with the soldiers of Titus and the group stopped, but he convinced Torriani 17, one for each team, to continue and Trieste was a triumph. Though then the Giro was suspended one day. ” Other times, but the spirit of those who go on the bike for Alfredo Martini has always been the same.
For more than 20 years in flagship ct six years as director of sports and many kilometers in legs of an athlete: Alfredo Martini has left its mark everywhere. By ct, position held from 1975 to 1997 (he left Nov. 18, 1997), led to the worldwide success of six athletes: Francesco Moser in 1977 in San Cristobal (Venezuela), Giuseppe Saronni in 1982 at Goodwood (Great Britain), Moreno Argentin in 1986 in Colorado Springs (United States), Maurizio Fondriest in 1988 in Ronse (Belgium), Gianni Bugno in 1991 in Stuttgart (Germany) and in 1992 in Benidorm (Spain).
Fiorentino, in nearly a quarter of a century only six times a blue shirt is not on the podium and in addition to the six world golds, 7 silvers Martini led to Italy (Ostuni Moser 1976, Moser 1978 Nurburgring, GB Baronchelli 1980 Sallanches, Saronni 1981 Prague, Claudio Corti 1984 Barcelona, 1987 Argentin Villach, Chiappucci 1994 Agrigento) and 7 bronzes (Tino Conti 1976 Ostuni, Bitossi 1977 San Cristobal, Argentin 1985 Montello, Saronni 1986 S. Colorado, 1990 Utsunomiya Bugno, Pantani in 1995 Duitama, Bartoli 1991 Lugano). The years were triumphant in 1977 with the first place of Moser and the third Bitossi; and 1986 with gold and bronze Argentin Saronni.
As sports director led the Ferretti 1969 to 1972, leading to success in the Tour of Italy 1971 Swede Gosta Pettersson; in 1973 and ’74 was the Sammontana and in 1975 went up on the flagship of the country.
From Martini rider won the Tour of the Apennines in 1947 Giro del Piemonte in 1950, a stage in the Tour of Italy in 1950, when he finished third in the overall standings behind Koblet and Bartali: in that year wore the pink jersey for one stage. He also won a stage in the Tour de Suisse in 1951, finished third behind Kubler and Koblet.
Moved the memory of the CONI president Giovanni Malagò: “With Martini goes the last of the great witnesses of an epic that has made cycling one of the most popular sports in Italy. E ‘was the greatest coach in the history of cycling, winning six World Championships and over the years becoming an essential point of reference for the entire world of sport to whom he dedicated his whole life before an athlete, then as a coach, and finally as manager. cycling Without him now is definitely poorer. A final word: Thanks Alfredo. “
Vincenzo Nibali, winner of last year’s Tour, has entrusted his message of condolence Twitter: “He could not meet a more sad news this !! Goodbye Alfredo Martini, large MAN, your words will be missed !!.” The current ct Davide Cassani fondly remembers his relationship with Martini: “The nicest compliment received is heard myself say that I was the man of Alfredo Martini. I’ve always been proud of it. I was not a champion but Martini gave me the blue shirt 9 times and made me his confidant. I can say that was the figure most beautiful, most important, the most serious of Italian cycling. “And again:” I saw him recently at the last stage of the Tour, for the award of Nibali. I went to find him at home, he was tired and could hardly speak, but shook my hand as if I wanted to say that it was still close to me and that I remained one of his. “
The President of the Council Matteo Renzi has expressed condolences to the family of the government Martini in a phone call to his daughter Silvia. And then he said: “I remember a great man who honored the Italian and world sport. Imprinted in my heart his words to the young people in various circumstances, the values that the world of sport teaches. “
The news of the death of Alfredo Martini, dad our cycling, or perhaps I should say his grandfather, has spread in the late evening of Monday, and immediately have flocked reactions. The coach of the national Davide Cassani is destroyed: “I have tears in my eyes – he writes on Twitter – I would have given anything to see me on ‘flagship that was your” and again: “I miss you already.”
Vincenzo Nibali, today’s number one Italian cycling, was among the first to comment: “Alfredo Martini big man, your words will be missed,” writes the winner of the Tour de France, which defines the saddest news that could achieve it.
The Premier Matteo Renzi is not slow to pay homage to the Grand Old Man of Italian cycling: “A heartfelt thoughts for Alfredo Martini. has honored Italy – writes among other things – but above all showed the true values of sport.
Father and teacher, these are the most common words in the messages of condolence raining on twitter is the case Pippo Pozzato, who calls him “master of life and a poet of cycling” Damiano Cunego who speaks of “the great man and teacher of life,” the President dell’Assocorridori Gianni Bugno, who won two titles Alfredo sull’ammiraglia blue world
And we could go on and on: the former coach Paolo Bettini, Alessandro Petacchi, Enrico Gasparotto, the ds of the Farnese Luca Scinto, the team manager Luca Guercilena Trek, but also the organizers of the World Ponferrada and many others have wanted to externalize their condolences for the death of a man who was deeply and viscerally loved by his world. Here, one thing we would like to put it: none of these messages contain phrases circumstances. The esteem and affection for Alfredo could not and can not be that honest.
Toro in attack serves other quality. The Bianconeri the “gift” for Europe
TORINO – It ‘s basically lost a goal of Turin: Ruben Botta, less than sconquassi, tomorrow will be a player from Chievo. And this is basically because the Taurus has not been able to sink the leg, remaining “stuck” in question Cerci. Why the Henry of Valmontone is still in Turin, waiting to know his new destination. Today, something new could emerge, as in Forte dei Marmi is expected Urbano Cairo and a lunch with Galliani is more than predictable. But it is not said that Milan is the final solution: can be as Inter, which, however, must first assign one of his expensive jewelry. And then some other team interested can check: Cerci like many, as has repeatedly stressed Cairo, not to mention the more sheltered Atletico Madrid and Monaco. However, for the moment no one takes it, because the price scares lovers. The point is that the situation defined by the top players in the market cools grenade del Toro. What instead needs considerable surge in the eight remaining days at the final closing of the negotiations. The transfer of Split has lit the light of the need for quality in the offensive department: behind Quagliarella who picks up the baton from bomber Building, Barreto and Larrondo, as well as young talent Martinez, represent good solutions from alternatives. But at the Turin need more, especially in the case of the next round in the Europa League: access to the group means dancing on double weekly commitment. Need a connection with so many arrows to allow Giampiero Ventura to bring out the best from his team. The coach has never claimed anything, working with what the company has always made available. Also in this session, the coach will not change a habit: it is clear, however, that the Taurus has need of a first bit of good standard and then an attacker can give unpredictability, the one feature that Cerci had, and that allowed the grenade to solve different matches well with only a game. That game that can guarantee Sebastian Giovinco, waiting for a call from Juventus to talk about the renewal of the contract. But also waiting for news on the market, if an opportunity presented itself. Yielding Cerci Taurus will have a treasure to give the team the “gift” critical to be competitive on all fronts. Taurus can get up to 8 million for a player maturing in 2015: the nodes are, if anything, the overlap (2.5 million per season), and the ambitions of the attacker, which points to a high-end club or to stay Juventus for another season, with the idea then to agree on a free transfer with another company.
18:57 The former AC Milan striker Mario Balotelli was speaking after signing with Liverpool by defining a “mistake” his return to Italy. Here are his words: “I’m happy to be back because he left England it was a mistake. Wanted to return to Italy, but now I realized that it was a mistake.’s Nice to be here, is a team of young players and this was decisive in my choice. Liverpool is one of the best teams in England, you play good football and I like that. was decided to keep the 45?’s a number that I chose to Inter when they are passed in the first team, joking that 4 + 5 is 9. I scored in every race and in the end I decided to keep it.’m here to win it all, even the Champions League. “

In the black of Italian football, the most popular sport can not even be decisive for assign the laurel of the province sportier. On the podium – in addition to Genoa, that the football continues to owe a lot – in fact rise Trento, who takes the crown, and the novelty of Macerata, placed third, two areas that have a large number of excellent, but just in terms of football are deficit. A case? Maybe yes, even if it is true that in provincial towns other sports are struggling to find less attention, outlets, practitioners and supporters.
All survey results
Meanwhile there is to celebrate the liberation thirty: we are three statements in eight years, with a high stability in not influenced by the change of the parameters and the methodology adopted by the Group to focus on the Clas Index sportsmanship of the Italian provinces. Trento, already awarded by the statistics in the edition of openness, that of 2007, and in 2011, it imposes much for posting, finishing first in two of the three interim rankings (individual sports, sport and society) and won a place in the top Ten of 14 of the 32 charts “basic” taken into account. Indeed, in eight cases out of 32 (25% of the total) finds himself on the podium, with two ideals gold, four silver and two bronzes, among other things, leads to companies large individual sports (cycling, athletics, swimming , tennis) and for “sport and tourism”, while the second is in the two classifications, very significant of the members.
A testimonial like Francesco Moser, champion cyclist (road and track) in the 70 and 80, as well as Department of Sport and Tourism of the Province of Trento in the 90s, first underlines the predisposition to the sport by residents: “There is so much outdoor life and we have a good tradition in several sports. Should be stronger than those of the mountain, with many athletes who end up even in the military sport groups, cycling, volleyball. Then there are small countries that focus on specialty minors, the tambourine, the hockey lawn, and there too there’s the satisfaction. The systems are numerous (an important role is played by the economic strength ensured the autonomy, ed), indeed, sometimes end up not being used at all. There are bike paths in almost all the valleys, which helps tourism. And a number of sporting events attracts athletes from Italy and abroad. ” One is reminded of the Winter Universiade, held in December 2013, “Now then – Moser adds jokingly, referring to the news these days – we have a new sport. You know what it’s called? Escape from the bear … “.
Genova, dethroned, it may well console himself with second place, relates to the success in team sports, 11 placings in the top ten and, as Trento, a number of measures to practically empty reduced to a minimum (two out of 32). In this context it is important that there are two football teams in Serie A – and now there is also the Entella, Chiavari, in Serie B – but obviously it is not limited to this. Marco Bollesan, unforgettable blue rugby, “their” Cus Genoa arrived at the National, where he was a player, captain, coach and manager. In addition, he served as a councilor with responsibility for Sport at the time of mayor Pericu: “On the territory – he says – the passion has it, young people, teachers of physical education and technicians. In this way it also compensates to some deficiency in plants. The placement at the forefront is a logical consequence, also due to the reality of the province. In particular, Recco has a rugby team in Serie A and, more importantly, continues to win championships in water polo championships of which to us is like the rugby in the Veneto. “
From a team sport to ‘ another, Macerata – bronze medal for sportsmanship, seven times among the top 10 – you will enjoy the third title won by the male Lube Volley. Champions, yet forced to move from the capital to Civitanova to find a building (new) with the requirements to play in the league and in the Champions League. “What of the plants – Albino Massaccesi observes, for Marche of the company for 22 years in A with the same property-sponsor – is actually an aspect to improve. Aside from that, it seems to me that so far Macerata has been a bit ‘underrated sports reality. We have always expressed a good move in several disciplines, for example in softball and gymnastics. The specialties of the team (where the province of Marche stands for number of clubs, ed) are good from the youth sector, because the companies working in the school. What about smaller centers, for the top teams that are not football, it works well, because the big city is more dispersive, it is difficult to find an audience that becomes attached and towed it works. “ For Massaccesi now , also came the election as president of the League Volleyball Serie A. Unwittingly it, in a kind of virtuous circle, succeeds Diego Mosna, president of the Trentino Volley.
What to Jose Mourinho likes Mattia Right is not new. What then is the Chelsea in the footsteps of 23-year old Roma striker is not surprising that much. It should, however, reported the rumor coming from England – and specifically from Daily Star – which speaks of an assault at the gates by the Blues that would be ready to shell out 25 million euro that the ds Roma Walter Sabatini asks for weeks to say “yes” to the sale of her jewelry. That is the figure that Milan just can not scrape together (at the time the CEO. Galliani stops at an altitude of 12) to cap off one of the main objectives of the market to fill the Rossoneri after-Balotelli.

market – Balotelli tomorrow will sign with Liverpool: “I have a good luck at Balo” said Horace, who then speaks of the objectives market for the Rossoneri: “The management knows what I want on the market, I have to train the players I have, we have a rose up to it, so much the better if you get someone else’s okay.”
menez – “nueve Menez fake? Can do all three the roles of the attack and let us play with another system. E ‘a versatile player who can serve. “
SPA- sportellate, overtaking like rain (even if it is on course ‘ dry), unexpected and poisons. In Belgium it was another spectacular race. Won by Daniel Ricciardo in the Red Bull has now eclipsed the star of Vettel. Behind, to make a serious claim to the World’s Rosberg, who in the early part of the race he hit his team-mate Hamilton while he was in the lead. An accident looking for? This will be discussed a lot, certainly is yet another spark of a fiery rivalry. The English had the worst, you had to pit to replace a tire slashed. The race Lewis was an ordeal from start to finish and ended sadly with an orderly withdrawal from the box to save the engine and avoid future penalties.
The Red
The Ferrari that started with optimism after a good performance in qualifying does not go beyond the fourth place, only this time there is not the usual but Alonso Raikkonen. And this is news: Finnish led a great battle in the Ardennes, he had to surrender to the power of the engine of the Mercedes and Williams was passed by countryman Bottas while he was on the podium. But its still a benefit to be world champion. And Fernando? Party immediately with disability due to a mechanical problem during the formation lap (the mechanics removed the machine late), the commissioners made to pay a penalty of 5 seconds during the pit stop.

Comi as Luis Suarez? According to the photo posted on Twitter Gianluca Paparesta official Bari would seem so, yes: bite the arm of De Luca, the Italian Cup game against Avellino.

Out of him, out of Devis Mangia – who had coached at Varese and Under-21 – also outside the Bari, from the cup.
insult – And to score the equalizer – the Apulian were ahead of a goal, thanks to Ligi, and will cash the 2-1 Pozzebon in the final – will be just Comi, 4 ‘after the crime, with a header, the best part of his repertoire, the one who had convinced Milan to focus on him in the summer of 2011 I took ownership in, mistaking him on par with Simone Verdi, one that will make this year’s Serie A with Empoli: Comi made havoc in Spring, 27 goals in a single season, the ‘only with the Rossoneri before going to B, do well to Reggio Calabria, and disappoint a bit’ last year, half in and half Novara in Lanciano. This year has been loaned all’Avellino, five days ago from Turin, Milan have bought the second half of the tag: it had to be a prelude to the agreement for Cerci (away, now that the first target of the Rossoneri is Right) , could be a sign of revenge. Now faces a long suspension, but only if the images jump off the set B is not the World Cup, and it is unclear whether the video evidence will be applicable, it all depends on the scoresheet first.
protests – Paparesta, that referee was before he became president of the new Bari, knows well, his protest is strong but polite. “We do not want controversy – said in an official statement – but we ask attention to this fact and to episodes like the bite of Comi De Luca. Bari deserves respect, like all other companies. Because I will endeavor audience and players are correct but no one can think to come here and do what he wants. said that compliments all’Avellino for the next round. ” Along the same lines Devis Mangia, who also takes issue with his players, “De Luca was wrong to react, but Comi know that I consider the bite, spit on par with the most vile gesture that we can accomplish.”
