MONTREAL – Cyclists will be in the spotlight in Montreal this weekend. Thousands of them will take part in the Tour la Nuit on Friday and the Tour de l’Île on Sunday, to officially launch the cycling season. Motorists, meanwhile, will have to plan their trips accordingly.

“The Festival Go Vélo is really a celebration where cycling is front and center,” says Jean-François Rheault, President and CEO of Vélo Québec, which organizes the festival.

The Tour la Nuit is “really a party”, continues Rheault. The event takes place as of 8 p.m. on Friday. Cyclists will be invited to pedal 24 kilometers through streets closed to traffic for the occasion, dressed in their finest luminous accessories.

“There’s a happy feeling of being able to ride in the city without interaction with cars. There’s a real sense of security and freedom. There’s a hyper-peaceful side to the idea of just being able to discover the city,” says Rheault.

The Tour la Nuit route will start in Maisonneuve Park, at the corner of Rosemont Boulevard. Cyclists will pass through the boroughs of Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie, Saint-Michel, Montréal-Nord and Saint-Léonard.

Ron Scardacchi from Connecticut, USA has taken part in seven Tour La Nuit’s so far, excited to be back after the height of the pandemic. Scardacchi says he feels a connection with those that participate “they speak French, I speak English,” he jokes.

“I’ve been talking about this at work for the past three or four weeks. No kidding. I’ve told them, I’m leaving early. on Friday, I’m leaving early. It is something that kind of brings in positive vibes and a good way to start the summer as well,” says Nora, this year’s Tour La Nuit being her second.

This year’s event, broke record’s as Rheault says they are expecting over 19,000 participants and on Sunday, they expect 17,000.

For families there, it’s an event that allows them to be together. One mother telling City News “We have fun, we are together, the weather is nice, it’s hot, so we have a lot of fun.”

For Jamie Lavoie, his third year being part of the event, he says it’s one for all, “I’m here to have fun with everybody. It doesn’t matter who you are, what colour you are, what language you speak doesn’t matter.”

The Festival Go Vélo routes used to start at Parc La Fontaine, in the Plateau-Mont-Royal borough. The organization has decided to move the event this year, due to heavy traffic around the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, caused by work on the Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine tunnel.

Vélo Québec expects some 20,000 people to take part in the Tour la Nuit, and some 18,000 in the Tour de l’Île.

Tour de l’Île de Montréal on Sunday

The Tour de l’Île de Montréal will take place on Sunday, June 4. The event offers cyclists a 47-kilometer ride through the streets of the metropolis, which will be inaccessible to motorists. The activity will also start at Maisonneuve Park, at 9:15 a.m.

Tour de l’Île participants will cross seven Montreal boroughs: Rosemont_La-Petite-Patrie, Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montreal-North, Rivières-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles, Anjou and Saint-Léonard.

For the more athletic, alternative routes of 53, 75 or 99 kilometers will be offered. However, these routes will include streets open to vehicular traffic. There will be no official start for these “discovery” routes, and cyclists will set off at their own pace as of 7 a.m.

“It’s a party, yes, but it allows people to experience the city from a different point of view, and then sometimes to surpass themselves,” says the president of Vélo Québec.

Both activities will also end in Maisonneuve Park. DJs, inflatable games and other activities will entertain young and old alike.

“There will be a return of the Ferris wheel, which we left out during the pandemic. It’s really going to be a festive site,” promises Rheault.

Cyclists wishing to take part in these events can still register on the Vélo Québec website, or complete their on-site registration on the day of the event. Children aged 12 and under can take part free of charge.

Restrictions for motorists

Motorists will need to plan ahead if they intend to travel on the north side of the island of Montreal on Friday evening or Sunday. Vélo Québec invites citizens to consult the map of the cyclists’ route, or to use the Waze application, where the cyclists’ route will be indicated.

During both events, Highway 40 and Sherbrooke Street will be open to vehicular traffic, as will Saint-Michel Boulevard, Highway 25 and Highway 15.

“There really are options for getting around, you just have to be a little better prepared,” says Rheault.

Société Montréal se prépare pour le Tour la Nuit et le Tour de l’Île

Montréal se prépare pour le tour la nuit et le tour de l’île.

Les cyclistes seront à l’honneur à Montréal ce week-end. Ils seront des milliers à participer au Tour la Nuit, vendredi, et au Tour de l’Île, dimanche, pour lancer officiellement la saison du vélo. Les automobilistes devront quant à eux prévoir leurs déplacements dans le nord de la ville.

« Le Festival Go Vélo, c’est vraiment une fête où le vélo est à l’avant-plan », affirme d’emblée Jean-François Rheault, président-directeur général de Vélo Québec, qui organise le festival.

Le Tour la Nuit est « vraiment un party », poursuit M. Rheault. L’événement se déroulera à partir de 20 h vendredi. Les cyclistes seront invités à pédaler 24 kilomètres dans des rues fermées à la circulation pour l’occasion, vêtus de leurs plus beaux accessoires lumineux.

« Il y a un sentiment de bonheur de pouvoir rouler dans la ville sans interactions avec les voitures. Il y a vraiment un sentiment de sécurité, de liberté. Il y a un côté hyperpaisible à l’idée de juste pouvoir découvrir la ville », évoque M. Rheault.

Le parcours du Tour la Nuit débutera au parc Maisonneuve à l’angle du boulevard Rosemont. Les cyclistes traverseront les arrondissements de Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie, de Saint-Michel, de Montréal-Nord et de Saint-Léonard.

Les parcours du Festival Go Vélo s’amorçaient autrefois au parc La Fontaine, dans l’arrondissement du Plateau-Mont-Royal. L’organisation a choisi de déplacer l’événement cette année en raison de la forte circulation automobile aux abords du pont Jacques-Cartier, causée par les travaux du tunnel Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine.

Vélo Québec s’attend à ce que près de 20 000 personnes participent au Tour la Nuit, et que près de 18 000 prennent part au Tour de l’Île.

Un Tour de l’Île qui traverse sept arrondissements

Le 38 e  Tour de l’Île de Montréal se tiendra pour sa part le dimanche 4 juin. L’événement emblématique propose aux cyclistes de parcourir 47 kilomètres dans les rues de la métropole, qui seront inaccessibles aux automobilistes. Le départ de cette activité se déroulera aussi au parc Maisonneuve, et sera effectué sur le coup de 9 h 15.

Les participants au Tour de l’Île traverseront sept arrondissements de Montréal : Rosemont–La-Petite-Patrie, Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montréal-Nord, Rivières-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles, Anjou et Saint-Léonard.

Pour les plus sportifs, des parcours alternatifs de 53, 75 ou 99 kilomètres seront proposés. Toutefois, ces trajets comporteront des rues ouvertes à la circulation automobile. Il n’y aura pas de départ officiel pour ces parcours « découverte », et les cyclistes les amorceront à leur rythme à partir de 7 h.

« C’est une fête oui, mais ça permet aux gens d’expérimenter la ville d’un point de vue différent, puis parfois de se dépasser », affirme le président de Vélo Québec.

Les deux activités se termineront également au parc Maisonneuve. Des DJ, des jeux gonflables et d’autres activités animeront petits et grands.

« Il y aura le retour de la grande roue, qu’on avait laissée de côté durant la pandémie. Ça va vraiment être un site festif », promet M. Rheault.

Les cyclistes qui souhaitent participer à ces événements peuvent toujours s’inscrire sur le site web de Vélo Québec, ou bien compléter leur inscription sur place le jour même. Les enfants de 12 ans et moins peuvent participer à l’événement gratuitement.

Entraves pour les automobilistes

Les automobilistes devront prévoir leurs déplacements s’ils comptent circuler dans le nord de l’île de Montréal, vendredi soir ou dimanche. Vélo Québec invite les citoyens à consulter la carte du trajet des cyclistes, ou à utiliser l’application Waze, où le parcours des cyclistes sera indiqué.

Lors des deux événements, l’autoroute 40 et la rue Sherbrooke seront ouvertes à la circulation automobile, de même que le boulevard Saint-Michel, l’autoroute 25 et l’autoroute 15.

« Il y a vraiment des options pour pouvoir bouger, il suffit d’un peu mieux se préparer », déclare M. Rheault.

Voici les rues fermées pour le Tour de l’Île et le Tour la Nuit

Mateo Gaurrand-Paradot

Cette fin de semaine, c’est le festival Go Vélo MTL, et ce sera l’occasion pour les cyclistes de prendre part au Tour la Nuit, vendredi soir, ou au Tour de l’Île, dimanche. Les participants à vélo auront la totalité de la chaussée pour eux, et un certain nombre de rues seront donc fermées. Découvrez lesquelles avec ces cartes.

Le vendredi 2 juin, entre 17h et minuit, des axes seront bloqués pour le Tour la Nuit dans Rosemont, Saint-Léonard et Montréal-Nord. La boucle empruntée par les participants passe, entre autres, par les rues Viau et Beaubien ainsi que par les boulevards Langelier, Gouin et Provencher. Voici la carte de toutes les rues fermées, avec les horaires.

Le dimanche 4 juin, ce sera au tour des cyclistes de jour d’enfourcher leur vélo et de pédaler à travers les quartiers de la métropole. Il y aura des impacts sur la circulation dans Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Saint-Léonard, Rivière-des-Prairies, Montréal-Nord, Ahuntsic, Villeray et Parc-Extension.

Parmi les grands axes bloqués par le Tour de l’Île, on compte les boulevards Provencher, Lavoisier, Gouin, De l’Acadie et Rosemont ainsi que la rue Viau. Voici la totalité des routes fermées et les horaires de fermeture.

Pour les automobilistes qui devront circuler lors des deux événements, Vélo Québec a collaboré avec l’application Waze, permettant aux usagers de celle-ci de voir les fermetures en temps réel.

With Tour de l'Île weekend pedalling into Montreal, drivers should plan their trips

Road closures begin friday night with tour la nuit, daytime event is planned for sunday.

Social Sharing

This weekend, Tour de l'Île will be pedalling through parts of Montreal, leading to fun for cyclists but headaches for some drivers trying to navigate certain areas of the city.

Things will kick off Friday night with the Tour la Nuit, starting at Maisonneuve park. 

While the biking starts at 8 p.m., street closures will begin at 5 p.m. when Rosemont Boulevard closes between Viau Street and Pix-IX Boulevard in the city's east end.

From there, a long list of streets will close for blocks of time, some for several hours. For example, that first section will be closed until midnight. The night course covers 24 car-free kilometres through six boroughs.

A complete list of street closures and times can be found here.

The night tour will travel through boroughs such as Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Saint-Léonard, Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, Anjou and Montréal-Nord.

A map of the route can be found here .

Then on Sunday, a different route is on offer for the daytime riders, giving them exclusive use of 47 kilometres of streets through seven boroughs. 

The loop will go through areas such as Rivière-des-Prairies, Anjou, Montréal-Nord, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Parc-Extension, Outremont, Plateau-Mont-Royal and Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie.

A complete list of street closures can be found here , with closures starting at 6 a.m. and running into the afternoon. The map can be  found here . Cyclists start pedalling at 9:15 a.m., with activities throughout the route.

"As these events will change the usual traffic conditions, we invite you to plan your trips," organizer Vélo Québec says on its website .

Alternative measures have been put in place to ensure access to health-care facilities located near the Tour la Nuit and Tour de l'Île routes, Vélo Québec says.

The organization recommends getting information from the health facility, or by calling 811.

The organization also has a support service to help people navigate traffic. They can email or call for more information. The contact information is available on Vélo Québec's website .

Le Tour la Nuit et le Tour de l'Île auront lieu cette fin de semaine à Montréal

Les automobilistes devront quant à eux prévoir leurs déplacements dans le nord de la ville.

Les cyclistes seront à l’honneur à Montréal ce week-end. Ils seront des milliers à participer au Tour la Nuit, vendredi, et au Tour de l’Île, dimanche, pour lancer officiellement la saison du vélo. Les automobilistes devront quant à eux prévoir leurs déplacements dans le nord de la ville.

«Le Festival Go Vélo, c’est vraiment une fête où le vélo est à l’avant-plan», affirme d’emblée Jean-François Rheault, président-directeur général de Vélo Québec, qui organise le festival.

Le Tour la Nuit est «vraiment un party», poursuit M. Rheault. L’événement se déroulera à partir de 20h vendredi. Les cyclistes seront invités à pédaler 24 kilomètres dans des rues fermées à la circulation pour l’occasion, vêtus de leurs plus beaux accessoires lumineux.

«Il y a un sentiment de bonheur de pouvoir rouler dans la ville sans interactions avec les voitures. Il y a vraiment un sentiment de sécurité, de liberté. Il y a un côté hyper paisible à l’idée de juste pouvoir découvrir la ville», évoque M. Rheault.

Le parcours du Tour la Nuit débutera au parc Maisonneuve à l’angle du boulevard Rosemont. Les cyclistes traverseront les arrondissements de Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie, de Saint-Michel, de Montréal-Nord et de Saint-Léonard.

Les parcours du Festival Go Vélo s'amorçaient autrefois au parc La Fontaine, dans l’arrondissement du Plateau-Mont-Royal. L’organisation a choisi de déplacer l’événement cette année en raison de la forte circulation automobile aux abords du pont Jacques-Cartier, causée par les travaux du tunnel Louis-Hippolyte-La Fontaine.

Vélo Québec s’attend à ce que près de 20 000 personnes participent au Tour la Nuit, et que près de 18 000 prennent part au Tour de l’Île.

Le 38e Tour de l’Île de Montréal se tiendra pour sa part le dimanche 4 juin. L’événement emblématique propose aux cyclistes de parcourir 47 kilomètres dans les rues de la métropole, qui seront inaccessibles aux automobilistes. Le départ de cette activité se déroulera aussi au parc Maisonneuve, et sera effectué sur le coup de 9h15.

Les participants au Tour de l’Île traverseront sept arrondissements de Montréal : Rosemont–La-Petite-Patrie, Villeray-Saint-Michel-Parc-Extension, Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montréal-Nord, Rivières-des-Prairies-Pointe-aux-Trembles, Anjou et Saint-Léonard.

Pour les plus sportifs, des parcours alternatifs de 53, 75 ou 99 kilomètres seront proposés. Toutefois, ces trajets comporteront des rues ouvertes à la circulation automobile. Il n’y aura pas de départ officiel pour ces parcours «découverte», et les cyclistes les amorceront à leur rythme à partir de 7h.

«C’est une fête oui, mais ça permet aux gens d’expérimenter la ville d’un point de vue différent, puis parfois de se dépasser», affirme le président de Vélo Québec.

Les deux activités se termineront également au parc Maisonneuve. Des DJ, des jeux gonflables et d’autres activités animeront petits et grands.

«Il y aura le retour de la grande roue, qu’on avait laissée de côté durant la pandémie. Ça va vraiment être un site festif», promet M. Rheault.

Les cyclistes qui souhaitent participer à ces événements peuvent toujours s’inscrire sur le site web de Vélo Québec, ou bien compléter leur inscription sur place le jour même. Les enfants de 12 ans et moins peuvent participer à l’événement gratuitement.

Entraves pour les automobilistes

Les automobilistes devront prévoir leurs déplacements s’ils comptent circuler dans le nord de l’île de Montréal, vendredi soir ou dimanche. Vélo Québec invite les citoyens à consulter la carte du trajet des cyclistes, ou à utiliser l’application Waze, où le parcours des cyclistes sera indiqué.

Lors des deux événements, l’autoroute 40 et la rue Sherbrooke seront ouvertes à la circulation automobile, de même que le boulevard Saint-Michel, l’autoroute 25 et l’autoroute 15.

«Il y a vraiment des options pour pouvoir bouger, il suffit d’un peu mieux se préparer», déclare M. Rheault.

Marine careers on tour: HMC Ships Goose Bay and Harry DeWolf take part in expo roadshow

From: National Defence

News release

The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in partnership with other Government of Canada organizations and the Canadian Marine Careers Foundation is hosting the second annual Marine Careers Expo (MCE) this fall to connect with Canadians and showcase marine career opportunities at sea and ashore.

4 September 2024 – Ottawa – National Defence / Canadian Armed Forces

The Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) in partnership with other Government of Canada organizations and the Canadian Marine Careers Foundation is hosting the second annual Marine Careers Expo (MCE) this fall to connect with Canadians and showcase marine career opportunities at sea and ashore. The Expo, which is free to attend, will take place in cities across Ontario, Québec and Newfoundland – kicking off in St. John’s on September 6th and 7th.

The Marine Careers Expo is an opportunity for Government of Canada organizations and other marine industry employers and institutions to showcase marine career and training opportunities. This year, His Majesty’s Canadian Ships (HMCS) Goose Bay and Harry DeWolf and our team will conduct port visits in eight cities in Atlantic Canada, along the St. Lawrence Seaway and Lake Ontario.

Canadians will be able to participate in ship tours, speak with sailors who have firsthand experience in these exciting and challenging careers, and to join activities aboard and ashore. 

“The Marine Careers Expo is an excellent opportunity for the Canadians to meet our Royal Canadian Navy sailors and see firsthand the passion and professionalism that comes with a career in the Navy. I encourage all to take advantage of our port visits, to tour our ships, and learn about the excitement of a life at sea!” Vice-Admiral Angus Topshee, Commander Royal Canadian Navy

“I couldn’t be prouder of the professionalism of our crews to be showcased during this second annual Marine Careers Expo. Sailors of HMCS  Goose Bay  are looking forward to share with Canadians what a career at sea means to them personally and what opportunities it has brought them. With numerous sailors hailing from the cities we will be visiting, it presents a unique opportunity for our team to engage with family, friends and other Canadians about what our chosen profession entails on a day-to-day basis.” Lieutenant-Commander Jeff Smith, Commanding Officer HMCS Goose Bay

“It is great honor for the HMCS Harry DeWolf team to be showcased during this second annual Marine Careers Expo. Each and every one of my shipmates have joined the Royal Canadian Navy to pursue a challenging and rewarding career at sea in service to Canada. We look forward to sharing our exciting experiences and our fine ship with our fellow Canadians.”  Commander Jon Nicholson, Commanding Officer HMCS Harry DeWolf

“The Canadian Coast Guard is proud to join forces again this year with the Royal Canadian Navy and other maritime partners for the Marine Careers Expo. The Expo is a remarkable opportunity for Canadians to discover the rewarding and diverse careers in Canada’s maritime sector, including the various career paths within the Canadian Coast Guard, from nurses and engineers onboard our ships to search and rescue coordinators on shore. We look forward to meeting with Canadians at each of the port visits and inspiring the next generation of maritime professionals.” Mario Pelletier, Commissioner, Canadian Coast Guard

"The Expo shines an important light on the high-paying, in-demand careers that exist in Canada's vital marine industry - one that deserves more attention and talent. By expanding the MCE's reach to more communities, we're bringing job seekers and organizations together to bridge the gap in workforce development and inspire a new generation of professionals to join the marine sector." Julia Fields, Executive Director, Canadian Marine Careers Foundation

Quick facts

The Marine Careers Expo will begin in early September and end early November 2024. For a complete schedule of ports visited, please refer to the Marine Careers Expo webpage listed below.

The events will be public and free of charge - all are welcome to come learn and have some fun. HMCS Goose Bay and HMCS Harry DeWolf , alongside their Government of Canada partners, will be open to visitors in certain ports. There will be plenty of opportunities to see Canada’s vessels up close and connect with the highly professional and dedicated sailors who work onboard.

HMCS Goose Bay is a Maritime Coastal Defence Vessel (MCDV). MCDVs are multi-role vessels built in Canada and crewed by a combination of Regular and Reserve Force sailors and officers. The ship’s primary missions are coastal patrol, reserve training, law enforcement, search and rescue duties, and minesweeping.

HMCS Harry DeWolf is an Arctic and Offshore Patrol Vessel (AOPV). AOPVs enhance the RCN ability to assert Canadian sovereignty in Arctic and coastal Canadian waters and support international operations. The ship’s primary missions are armed presence and surveillance operations, humanitarian assistance, emergency response and disaster relief both domestically and internationally, and search and rescue duties.

Voorbeschouwing Tour de Romandie Féminin 2024 | Vollering én Kopecky, hoe doet SD Worx-Protime dat?

Na de waanzinnige ontknoping van de Tour de France Femmes halverwege augustus, dendert het vrouwenpeloton verder met de volgende WorldTour-rittenkoers: de Tour de Romandie Féminin. De driedaagse door Zwitserland ging vorig jaar naar Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime). Volgt zij zichzelf dit jaar op? In de Leiderstrui zet alles over de ronde uiteen!

De vrouwenwedstrijd van de Ronde van Romandië staat dit jaar pas voor het derde jaar op het programma. Net als in de mannenwedstrijd zorgen de Zwitserse heuvels en bergen voor de nodige hoogtemeters, al zullen de rappe vrouwen ook zeker kansen krijgen.

Laatste winnaars Tour de Romandie Féminin

2023: Demi Vollering 2022: Ashleigh Moolman

Tour de Romandie Féminin 2024: Parcours, favorieten dagzeges en tijden

Etappe 1, vrijdag 6 september: la grande béroche - lausanne (133.8 km).

Vrijdag staat er voor de rensters in de ouverture een heuvelachtig parcours op het programma. De eerste etappe bevat de nodige hoogtemeters en kent vier licht oplopende kilometers naar de meet. De vijftien kilometer daarvoor zijn wel weer vlak. Slaagt een late uitval of gaan we met een uitgedund groepje sprinten om de eerste leiderstrui?

Beklimmingen 51,7 km: Suchy (2,06 km à 6.5%) 71,8 km: St-Chierges (2,56 km à 5,0%) 105,9 km: Mont-Pélerin (4,88 km à 3,9%)

Favorieten Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) Eleonora Camilla Gasparrini (UAE Team ADQ)

Tijden Start: 11.35 uur Finish: 14.58 uur

Etappe 2, zaterdag 7 september: Chippis - Vercorin (101.9 km)

Op dag twee krijgen de rensters een bergrit voorgeschoteld, met de finish bovenop de klim naar Vercorin. De 9,5 kilometer lange klim aan gemiddeld 8,2% is de zwaarste beklimming in deze Ronde van Romandië. Trekt een renster hier al de eindzege naar zich toe?

Beklimmingen 75,7 km: Varen (3,8 km à 4,2%) 101,9 km: Vercorin (9,5 km à 8,2%)

Favorieten Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) Juliette Labous (dsm-firmenich PostNL)

Tijden Start: 12.16 uur Finish: 15.01 uur

Etappe 3, zondag 8 september: Morges - Morges (144.2 km)

ARTICLE_IN_1

De slotetappe van deze Ronde van Romandië is er een met start en finish in Morges. De rensters krijgen - hoe kon het ook anders - een parcours te verteren dat nauwelijks een vlakke meter bevat. Wie kroont zich in deze heuvelrit tot definitieve winnares?

Beklimmingen 60,9 km: Reverolle (0,77 km à 8.5%) 102,9 km: Féchy (0,88 km à 9,7%) 110,7 km: Signal de Bougy (4,33 km à 6,3%)

Favorieten Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx-Protime) Elisa Balsamo (Lidl-Trek) Vittoria Guazzini (FDJ-SUEZ)

Tijden Start: 11.25 uur Finish: 15.04 uur

Favorieten eindklassement Tour de Romandie Féminin 2024

Wie verslaat SD Worx-Protime? Dat is toch de voornaamste vraag in deze Tour de Romandie Féminin. De ploeg stelt de vertrekkende Demi Vollering op, samen met wereldkampioene Lotte Kopecky . De vraag is zelfs bijna wie binnen de ploeg de andere verslaat, daar Vollering en Kopecky toch wel de absolute favorieten zijn in deze Ronde van Romandië.

Lees verder onder de foto

Toch zullen er genoeg kapers op de kust zijn. Wat te denken van Juliette Labous ? De Française van dsm-firemenich PostNL rijdt een heel constant seizoen, waarin zij maar één keer wist te winnen. Verder verschijnt ook de zeer talentvolle Neve Bradbury aan de start. De nog maar 22-jarige renster van Canyon//SRAM Racing beleeft dit jaar haar grote doorbraak met een podiumplaats en een etappezege in de Giro Donne. Ook is het oppassen voor Évita Muzic (FDJ-SUEZ) en Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek), respectievelijk de nummers vier en vijf van afgelopen Tour de France Femmes. Zij zullen hopen hun goede vorm door te kunnen zetten in Romandië.

Als we naar meer Nederlandse inbreng kijken, zien we ook Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck) op de startlijst staan. De grote verrassing van de Tour dit jaar (derde in het eindklassement) zal na meer dan twee jaar droogte ook eindelijk haar ogen weer op een overwinning kunnen richten. Ten slotte kunnen rensters zoals Mavi García (Liv AlUla Jayco), Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime) en Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal Team) ook altijd voor een stunt zorgen, al lijkt die kans niet heel groot.

Wie zijn volgens In de Leiderstrui de favorieten voor het eindklassement van de Tour de Romandie Féminin 2024?

Topfavorieten: Demi Vollering, Lotte Kopecky (beiden SD Worx-Protime)

Outsiders: Juliette Labous (dsm-firmenich PostNL), Neve Bradbury (Canyon//SRAM Racing), Évita Music (FDJ-SUEZ), Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek) Long shots: Pauliena Rooijakkers (Fenix-Deceuninck), Mavi García (Liv AlUla Jayco), Marlen Reusser (SD Worx-Protime), Sarah Gigante (AG Insurance-Soudal Team)

Administrative investigation into the situation of the two adapted package tour operators affected by the fire that occurred on 9 August 2023 in a Wintzenheim lodge

Publié le 19/08/2024 | Temps de lecture : 2 minutes

Christophe Itier and Frédéric Laloue

The General Inspectorate of Social Affairs (Igas) received a letter dated 14 August 2023 from the Minister of Solidarity and Families and the Delegated Minister in charge of Disabled Persons, to conduct an administrative investigation into the conditions for authorising and organising the stays of disabled persons who were victims of the fire in their lodges that occurred on 9 August 2023. This fire in two lodges located in the same building, in the locality known as La Forge in the municipality of Wintzenheim, caused the death of eleven people (ten holidaymakers and a professional companion).

In accordance with the letter of engagement, the report focuses on examining the organisation and operation of the two operators affected by the fire on 9 August: Association Idoine, whose headquarters are located in Besançon, and the simplified joint stock company (SAS) Oxygène, whose headquarters are in Lyon. The mission was to examine the administrative procedures and checks that these two adapted package tour operators (VAO) were subject to. 

The mission did not examine the content and scope of the actions of the owner of the two lodges in the fire-damaged building, nor those of the mayor of Wintzenheim, which are outside the scope of its referral by the ministers, and are essentially the subject of a judicial investigation initiated by the judicial court of Paris.

History of Astrakhan Oblast

In ancient times, the territory of the Astrakhan region was crossed by trade routes of the Persians and the Arabs. In the 8th-10th centuries, the territory belonged to the Khazar Khanate. There is a hypothesis that Itil, the capital of the Khazar Khanate, was located on this territory. It was destroyed by Prince Svyatoslav in 965.

Later, Polovtsy settled on this land. In the first half of the 13th century, the Mongol-Tatars came to the area. After them, Tatars of the Astrakhan Khanate and Kazakhs became the main population of the region.

In 1556, during the reign of Ivan the Terrible, the Astrakhan Khanate was annexed to the Russian state and ceased to exist. Astrakhan krai became the southeastern military outpost of Russia. In particular, in 1569, the Turks unsuccessfully besieged the fortress of Astrakhan.

In the 17th century, trade, fishing and salt industries developed in the region. In the middle of the 17th century, the uprising of Stepan Razin took place on the territory of Astrakhan region. In 1722, near the mouth of the Kutum River, a shipyard called the Astrakhan Admiralty was built. In the 1730s-1740s, the processing of silk and cotton began here.

Astrakhan Oblast was created in 1943. The region gained its current borders in 1957.
