Annemiek van Vleuten and Mark Cavendish win AIOCC Trophy awards
CyclingFriday, 24 November 2023 at 17:30
Two legendary figures in the sport of cycling, Annemiek van Vleuten and Mark Cavendish have both picked up awards at the most recent AIOCC ceremony in Burgos, Spain.
The AIOCC Trophy is a ceremony of an association of various cycling organizations with riders recognised for their contributions across their respective careers. Former notable names to have received the award include the likes of Eddy Merckx and Jacques Anquetil among others.
This year, Burgos in Spain was the venue for the awards with the likes of Tour de France General Director Christian Prudhomme in attendance. Aside from the awards, there was also a discussion about the growing need to increase rider safety within races.
“This year we unfortunately experienced a real tragedy during a competition. How can you die at 26? Yet this is what happened to Gino Mäder during the Tour of Switzerland… How can you die when you still have everything to live for… I have thought a lot and I still often think about this young rider, his family and his friends," stated Jaap Van Hulten as he proposed his SafeR project, in quotes collected by Wielerflits. “The creation of a joint organization, SafeR, which had been in the pipeline before the tragedy, was announced a few days later. We have many other challenges to overcome together, but I wanted to focus on this crucial aspect here.”

- That’s the most stupid thing I’ve read for a long time, did you not go to school and learn even the most basic physics? Aero depends on one thing only, drag, drag depends speed and the relationship is squared and apart from maybe at zero or the speed of sound or due to side winds that relationship is valid at all speeds, it dies not “suddenly” start at a magic number. Very simply, the faster you go the more the effect becomes important. If you think 25km/h is needed to have noticeable effects you’re delusional, athletic WR are cancelled as soon as winds top 2m/s that’s 7.2km/h, why because the assistance is already too important at that speed and the times prove it. You don’t even consider wind which can significantly increase the effective speed for aerodynamics and you underestimate speed of climbs, 6% is ridden more at 30 than 25km/h, a speed at which early generation high rims were considered to have more advantages than disadvantages. And finally, as in normal races you can’t just switch bikes according to terrain, it’s pretty pointless to discuss climbs as a separate situation, the aero will have justified itself plenty during the rest of the ride.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- If you look at how much TP progressed in that 1 1/2 years you can no longer say that’s nothing. If Remco improves as much he’s a challenger!Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Froome wishing to ride the Vuelta...he won't even be selected for the team!frieders320-12-2024
- Keep telling yourself that Remco but you not only have Tadeg to beat but Jonas!frieders320-12-2024
- Seems farfetched - I agree. Mas has beaten him once. Giro d'Emillia I think - 2022mobk20-12-2024
- Barring injuries, by the time Pogacar's dominance fads there will be lots of new young talent. Pogacar is about 1 1/2 years older than Remco. That's nothing.Sweep20-12-2024
- I actually don’t find that too impressive. In my later forties I did similar figures for a 3.5% gradient as a total nobody with no wind assistance. Am sure there’s margin for improvement there, especially looking at all the names on that list.Mistermaumau20-12-2024
- Jonas', was 6 years agospock12320-12-2024
- The race where he overnight suddenly turned nuclear after being packfodder at best for several years. His Sky days after that Vuelta and Pogačar’s last season shall remain the darkest post Lance stuff cycling has witnessed. Good riddance Froome.
UltimateOpportunist20-12-2024 - Finishing the Vuelta seems to be a reasonably attainable goal. Getting on the team to do that will be the more difficult challenge.
