Tap to enable a layout that focuses on the article Meanwhile, Vincenzo Nibali extended his lead over his biggest rivals except an important one: Two-time champion Alberto Contador. Over two minutes back, an attacking Contador dueled with Nibali to capture second place at the uphill finish of a rainy 100-mile ride from Tomblaine to Gerardmer La Mauselaine ski resort. Contador gained only seconds on Nibali, and was still 2 1/2 minutes behind him, but the threat was loud and clear. The overall standings changed after Stage 8, with mostly strong climbers at the top. Kadri, sensing his looming victory in the last kilometer, clasped hands in joy with a staffer of his AG2R Mondiale team, who was alongside him in a team car. He kissed his fingers to the crowd and smiled broadly at the line. “Today was my day, and I’m really, really, really happy,” he said after his maiden Tour stage win. “We work all year for good performances in this race. … Today it paid off.” Kadri emerged from a five-man breakaway that chiseled out a lead of as many as 11 minutes. None of the breakaway riders threatened Nibali’s yellow jersey: The highest-placed among them started the stage nearly 26 1/2 minutes back. Contador attacked as he and Nibali passed under the red flag marking one kilometer to go. But the Italian couldn’t be shaken — hewing right on the Spaniard’s back wheel except for Contador’s final surge at the line. “I’m not explosive, but I held my own,” Nibali said. “I tried to respond as best I could to his attack … he moved a lot, I really wanted to stick close to him … in the last 100 meters he accelerated a lot.” The ride featured three mid-grade climbs in the first of three days in the mid-sized Vosges range near the German border. American Andrew Talansky had trouble and lost time in the title chase to other contenders. In the final ascent, he skidded off the wet road and fumbled — with help from a fan — to repair what seemed to be a problem with his bike. A race medical report said he had multiple contusions. Talansky, the Garmin-Sharp team leader, finished more than two minutes behind Nibali and Contador, and trailed the leader by 4 minutes, 22 seconds in 16th place overall. He started the ride in eighth, 2:05 down. Overall, Nibali led Astana teammate Jakob Fuglsang of Denmark in second by 1 minute, 44 seconds. Australia’s Richie Porte of Team Sky, who finished fourth on Saturday, was 1:58 back in third. Spain’s Alejandro Valverde was fifth, 2:27 adrift, and Contador was sixth, 2:34 behind. The breakaway five chiseled out their maximum lead with about 30 miles left, and the pack began to accelerate. With around 25 kilometers left, the lead dwindled to 4 1/2 minutes. France’s Sylvain Chavanel pressed the pace among the five in front, then Kadri overtook him, pedaling alone up the final climb. There were fewer crashes than in recent days. Before the stage, Swiss rider Mathias Frank, the leader of the IAM Cycling team, withdraw because of broken left femur in a crash on Friday. Frank, who was runner-up in the Tour de Suisse last month, underwent surgery in Geneva on Saturday. The toughest ride in the Vosges will come on Monday when cyclists face seven ascents, including an uphill finish to the storied ski resort La Planche des Belles Filles. The pack faces six ascents on Sunday with a 106-mile ride from Gerardmer to Mulhouse.

Panzerwagen (armoured car) in the mountains, he was an express train on the downhill run to home, riding into Mulhouse almost three minutes ahead of anyone else. His is the second impressive solo win of the weekend after Blel Kadri's ride yesterday – in a pair of stages that were set to bring out the rivalry among the leaders, it's been breakaway riders that have conquered the Vosges. Tony and Tony can enjoy their success tonight - but the riders will be back to do it all again tomorrow, on what could be the toughest mountain stage yet. Rather them than me. Thanks for reading.

Tony Martin (OPQS) 13 Jul 201417.29 CESTTony Martin wins Stage 9 of the Tour de France!Special stuff from the Panzerwagen who finally lands a Tour stage outside of the time trials 13 Jul 201417.22 CESTUnsurprising award of the day Tony Martin, who has been out in front since catching up with Alessandro de Marchi on the way down the first climb, and is getting faster with 6km to go, earns the combative award, to go with his stage win and polka-dot jersey. Cherel and Gallopin have been caught by the chasing pack, but the Lotto-Belisol rider has surely done enough now to earn the yellow jersey tonight. He won't be wearing it on the Champs-Elysees, but he'll have it on his back on Bastille Day - which is nice. 13 Jul 201417.18 CESTWith Gallopin and Cherel hanging onto a slender lead over the other chasers, and Astana doing no more than keeping the bunch moving five minutes back, it looks like we'll have a change of leader today – step forward, Tony Gallopin. He'll have the yellow jersey, but he's not even been the best Tony today. Everything's coming up Mulhouse for Tony Martin - he's under 10km from the finish line, and bunny hopping over these oh-so-testing roundabouts. We have had one withdrawal today – Egoitz Garcia of Cofidis, who had been enduring a lonely ride adrift at the back, has called it quits. 13 Jul 201417.11 CESTMartin rips through the town of Cernay Haut-Rhin and under the 20km banner. It's flat all the way into Mulhouse, although apparently there are some tricky roundabouts to negotiate. I think, given what the last week has thrown at him, Tony should be able to handle that. Meanwhile, Tony Gallopin has been joined in his pursuit by AG2R's Mikael Cherel. The duo have a quick chat, deciding to work together to try and put distance between themselves and the other pursuers – they're not catching Tony Martin today. 13 Jul 201416.58 CESTMartin is maintaining that three minute cushion with under 30km to go, and is currently barrelling downhill towards Mulhouse. If anything, he's getting further ahead. Is this the secret to his success? Elsewhere, a change in overall leader looks likely - Tony Gallopin has a minute and a half lead over Vincenzo Nibali as it stands. At the back of the race, a group of stragglers including Marcel Kittel, Ji Cheng and Arnaud Démare are around 15 minutes behind the leader. The cut off is 26 minutes, but they should be OK. Updated at 16.51 CEST13 Jul 201416.43 CESTFor about the first time today, Tony Martin looks a little worn out, grimacing on the day's final climb – Le Grand Ballon, which looms over the summit of the Markstein. No matter, he's over the summit, and it's quite literally all downhill from here. Apart from a couple of bits that aren't. Retro jersey punter de Marchi is being reeled in by the chasing pack, which has been thinned out on the way up these last two climbs. In fact, Joaquim Rodriguez has gone past him and into second place. That means Tony Martin will be King of the Mountains tonight, although I'm not sure he'll care right now. Speaking of retro jerseys, Bev Nicolson has sent in a fine ol' fashioned garment "a jersey from 1968 that surely beats all the modern ones into a hat. I mean look at it." King of the Mountains result (Le Markstein, cat 1): 2. At 2.10: Alessandro De Marchi (Cannondale), 8 3. At 3.07: Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha), 6 Updated at 16.26 CEST13 Jul 201416.13 CESTIn the peloton nearly seven minutes behind the German now there's a coming together involving Team Sky's Geraint Thomas and Matthew Busche of the Trek team Busche needs work on his bike; the only damage Thomas sustains is that his bidon falls onto the road 25 seconds between Martin and de Marchi now Thanks to John Christopher for letting me know that "de Marchi are purveyors of some truly natty cycle jerseys". He's not wrong. clocking up a ten second lead on the Italian in no time Martin is a fine descender – if he can stay clear over these next two climbs he'll have a chance - although the chasing group have closed ever so slightly 13 Jul 201415.57 CESTHere's the thoughts of Europcar DS Dominique Arnould: “We wanted to try something because the terrain suits us today. It could have been for Thomas Voeckler, that's why he tried earlier on. We can still win the stage. We have several cards to play. Cyril Gautier is at the front, as well as Pierre Rolland. We firstly have to see how the race unfolds in the Markstein.” The French team have four riders in the group still in pursuit of organic ice cream merchants Martin and de Marchi. They're currently three minutes behind, and may look to make a move on the long slog up the Markstein. Updated at 16.00 CEST13 Jul 201415.45 CESTSo, four climbs down, two to go. After the intermediate sprint in 5km or so, we'll be into the meat of this stage, with the Category 1 Markstein followed immediately by the Category 3 Grand Ballon. Then there's the small matter of a 50km descent into Mulhouse. The second group is starting to shed riders - Reza and Chavanel have been dropped, as has Lars Boom. Speaking of which: There are suggestions, however, that Astana wouldn't be too devastated to get the jersey off Vincenzo Nibali's back, given that it's left them grimly trying to control each and every stage this week. Intriguing. Could we have a French rider in yellow on Bastille Day? Updated at 16.02 CEST13 Jul 201415.29 CESTKing of the Mountains results (Côte de Gueberschwihr): 1. Alessandro de Marchi (Cannondale), 5 points Those five points are enough to put de Marchi second in the mountains classification. Not a bad day's work. 13 Jul 201415.22 CESTWe're halfway 85km to go on this relatively short mountain stage chasers and peloton - including the returning Blel Kadri - are all working their way to the top of Côte de Gueberschwihr A little more on today's two leaders: Tony Martin, aka 'Panzerwagen', is a teak-tough rider, but has specialised in time trials – that's where his two Tour stage wins have come. He'll be hoping to give German sports fans something to cheer about today. His partner, the Italian rider Alessandro di Marchi, won the polka-dot jersey at this year's Giro. Last year was his first on the Tour, but he didn't make an impression on the King of the Mountains standings, or the GC. The commentary team are cynical about the pair's chances of staying away, particularly with a strong group chasing them down. They're 90 seconds ahead of them now - and four and a half minutes clear of the peloton. 13 Jul 201415.00 CESTAnother two points for de Marchi at the top of the third climb; there are enough points on offer for him to take the polka-dot jersey from the back of Blel Kadri today. King of the Mountains result (Côte des Cinq Châteaux) 1. Alessandro De Marchi (Cannondale), 2 points 13 Jul 201414.48 CESTAn offer I can't refuse Throw in a foolhardy breakaway attempt through Hackney Wick, and we have a deal. Here's the event Chloe's taking part in, which looks a fine day out. Not for me, mind you – I just watch cycling. Updated at 14.43 CEST13 Jul 201414.31 CESTUnsuccessful 80s lounge act Martin & de Marchi are still out in front, while the counter attacking group behind them have been split in two: In the first group: Rolland and Quémeneur (Europcar), Navarro and Edet (Cofidis), Spilak (Katusha), Machado (NetApp), Montaguti (AG2R) and van Avermaet (BMC). In the second group: Rojas (Movistar), Rodriguez (Katusha), Paulinho (Tinkoff), Koren (Cannondale), Boom and Kruijswijk (Belkin), Chérel (AG2R), Dumoulin (Giant), Valls (Lampre), Ladagnous (FDJ), Gallopin (Lotto), Moinard (BMC), Gautier, Pichot, and Reza (Europcar), Cancellara (Trek), Meier (Orica), Chavanel (IAM), Feillu and Bideau (Bretagne). This is likely to change imminently; it's been pretty frantic so far. 13 Jul 201414.24 CESTBlel Kadri was the man yesterday bagging a stage win and the polka-dot jersey It's not going quite so well today - he was held up by a mechanical problem early on and is now some way off the back of the pack He could be forgiven for being a bit tired whoever designed the Eurosport credits has clearly watched too much True Detective: 13 Jul 201414.08 CESTIt's now a thirty second lead for Martin and de Marchi - it may be time to reprise the What is the Breakaway? game. Martin & De Marchi sound like purveyors of poor quality, Italian style catalogue clothing to me. Their breakaway may be short-lived: a group of twenty riders are counter-attacking as they head up the Category 3 Col du Wettstein, including Joaquim Rodriguez, Sylvain Chavanel, Fabian Cancellara, Greg van Avermaet and Pierre Rolland. Let's see if any of the above can bridge the gap. Updated at 14.34 CEST13 Jul 201413.59 CESTA second, much smaller breakaway has formed on the descent - comprised of just two riders. It's Omega Pharma-Quickstep's Tony Martin and Cannondale's Alessandro de Marchi who lead by around twenty seconds. De Marchi won the King of the Mountains crown at the Giro d'Italia, so he's certainly got form. If he goes early enough today, here's a long flat to the finish and a coveted sprint win. i think he wanted to spark a break, and he knows that even if he is dropped in the last km on the last big climb, he has enough time to get back on. That makes sense, and Sagan is an excellent descender - that move after 2km smacked a little of desperation though. Updated at 15.54 CEST13 Jul 201413.45 CESTThe breakaway have passed over the summit of Col de la Schlucht - now they have to go down the other side. Who'd be a cyclist? Voeckler takes five points, having done most of the legwork alongside Joaquim Rodrigruez. King of the Mountains result (Col de la Schlucht): Updated at 13.45 CEST13 Jul 201413.37 CESTThere are now over twenty riders that have eked out a twenty second gap over the main bunch up this tough first ascent. Among their number are Belkin's Laurens ten Dam, Orica-GreenEdge's Michael Albasini, and - of course - Europcar's Tommy Voeckler. Updated at 13.40 CEST13 Jul 201413.32 CESTNow a large group have got away - perhaps as many as seventeen - and are pressing on towards the summit. Among their number is Rein Taaramäe, the Estonian rider for Cofidis. We should have a full list imminently. At the other end, French champion Arnaud Démare has been dropped. And on Bastille Eve too, Arnaud. 13 Jul 201413.24 CESTAnd they're off The first climb for the riders to tackle is the Col de la Schlucht a Category 2 climb which they will have to start scaling immediately A quick reminder of who's got a snazzy jumper on today: Fortunately for Greg, he withdrew during Stage 4, so doesn't have to bother. Everyone who finished yesterday has started again today though, as they move through the neutral zone. One man with more reason than most to throw the towel in is Andrew Talansky. The Garmin Sharp leader has had a dreadful two days, crashing not once, but twice in the last two stages. The American remains upbeat, however: "I'm surprisingly well. I escaped relatively unscathed from the crashes. I'm lucky to still be in the race when Chris Froome is home. The form is here, the team is doing great. Two minutes in the end is nothing." 13 Jul 201413.13 CESTThe stage starts in around ten minutes with several Tour outsiders – and our own Geraint Thomas – loitering in double digits The Tour de France general classification after Stage 8.

Updated at 13.14 CEST13 Jul 201412.37 CESTPreamble It's stage 9 of this year's Tour de France, and things aren't about to get any easier. Today marks the first all-out mountain stage of this year's race, with the riders starting halfway up the Col de la Schlucht before negotiating five further climbs, including the first category 1 ascent of this year's Tour – the ominously named Markstein. After a treacherous, nerve-jangling opening week, and with another long day in the Vosges still to come, the GC contenders may be happy to sit tight today - though there is the chance for someone to take a gamble and eat into Vincenzo Nibali's two minute lead on the way to Mulhouse. There's also bags of King of the Mountains points at stake, and stormy weather predicted on the highest peaks. This is the eighth straight day in the saddle for these riders, with any slips likely to send cyclists plummeting down the leaderboard. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it. The race gets underway at around midday, with pain, anguish and adversity following soon after. Join me. 13 Jul 201412.37 CESTHere's Will Fotheringham's preview of today's stage: A more typical stage through the Vosges this with the Col de la Schlucht climbed from the start to split things up as an early breakaway forms The finish is some way from the top of the last big climb so that could well mean the favourites are content merely to keep tabs on each other while some lesser lights who can climb get the green light to go for the stage and the mountains jersey – given the small volume of climbing in the Alps a big points haul here will help anyone looking to win the polka-dots in Paris You can enjoy all of Will's stage previews in one handy list here When Kate Dolan was a child, she dreamed of one day making a horror film, a dream which manifested into You Are Not My Mother. The thrilling debut feature from the Irish filmmaker premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) earlier this year and has since won awards in France and Boston and enjoyed a wide-scale cinema release in her home country To learn more about the ins and outs of this spooky spectacle GCN sat down with Dolan to discuss the filmmaking process along with the impact of Irishness and queerness on her work Dolan describes You Are Not My Mother as “an Irish film unlike any other Irish films you’ve seen before “I think it’s particularly a very different depiction of the North Side of Dublin,” she adds so I’m advocating for cool horror film representation of the North Side.” whose mother goes missing only to return with an unrecognisable personality It’s got all the “thrills and excitement and suspense and dread as a horror movie,” Kate says but it also allows viewers to dig deeper into the theme of coming of age in a family that holds a traumatic past In terms of how the plot of the film was developed Kate explains: “Irish folklore had always really interested me and particularly the way that the stories that we hear about Irish folklore were always told to us as if they’re real.” She had explored old tales of people burning and drowning their relatives because they were not who they thought they were and then “wanted to make a story about a young person experiencing that So like your parent not really behaving in a way that you’re used to Nach bhfuil muid gleoite?? ???✨ https://t.co/Y7v1V1ZWXa — Kate Dolan (@caatdolan) March 17, 2022 It is clear that the relationship between Kate Dolan and our Emerald Isle seeps into her creative work she says: “I feel like Paganism and our old cultures and old traditions and rituals they still permeate into our modern culture […] Like the fact that loads of people will still wave at a magpie that’s in their garden” “Irish people have a connection to the mystical in a way that other cultures maybe don’t as much,” and this perhaps aids her creation of paranormal films show our culture in a way that interests me on screen and bring out those things that people might not know.” Big night tonight! Up the dubs! @DublinFilmFest ???#YouAreNotMyMother Irish premiere! pic.twitter.com/ade1AAGrey — Kate Dolan (@caatdolan) February 24, 2022 Similarly, queerness seamlessly infiltrates into Dolan’s work whether it be deliberately or subconsciously While You Are Not My Mother does not necessarily have overt LGBTQ+ themes there are subtle elements that resonate with queer audiences and although Dolan didn’t initially notice it while writing the script others helped her recognise that she was instinctively writing two queer characters “I remember we were in an early script meeting with a script editor […] Is this a romantic thing?’ And I was like ‘Oh I haven’t really thought about it that much I guess it kind of is in a way’,” she recalls I’m a queer woman so I suppose it just bleeds into what I’m doing naturally They’re queer characters populating this world.” These subtle nods to the queer experience are easily missed by an untrained eye I didn’t pick up on that at all.’ And you’re like You Are Not My Mother has enjoyed an array of success since its first screening earlier this year with Kate Dolan saying having its premiere in Toronto was “a dream come true” The feature also picked up a Jury Prize at the Gérardmer Fantasy Film Festival in France which was a real full-circle moment for the filmmaker ⭐ Writer & Director Kate Dolan on being nominated for the @ScreenIreland #IFTA Rising Star Award for 2022 Congratulations, @caatdolan! pic.twitter.com/MBo6ETYaKA — Irish Film & Television Academy (IFTA) (@IFTA) March 4, 2022 my dream was that I would get to make a horror movie when I was a grown-up So I’m just thinking of little baby Kate absolutely delighted being like but the movie played in Odeon in Coolock and IMC in Santry both of which Dolan frequented in her youth Watch the trailer for You Are Not My Mother and keep your eyes peeled for upcoming screenings both in Ireland and abroad vital resource for Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community since 1988 GCN is a trading name of National LGBT Federation CLG, a registered charity - Charity Number: 20034580 If you are enjoying GCN, how about sign up for free to access all articles?

Kate Dolan (@caatdolan) January 30, 2022 Samhain/You Are Not My Mother is a horror film rooted in eerie Irish folklore The creepy and unsettling chiller is Dolan’s debut feature and was produced by the creators of award-winning horrors Vivarium and Sea Fever Gérardmer gives a description of the acclaimed film on its website “It’s the week before Halloween and Char’s mother “When she returns home without explanation the following evening it becomes clear to Char and her grandmother that something is amiss but Angela’s behaviour has become increasingly frightening as if she has been replaced by a malevolent force a night steeped in ancient myth and legend Char realises that she is the only one who can save her even if it means potentially losing her forever.” Samhain/You Are Not My Mother will have its Irish premiere as a part of the Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival on March 4 Dolan said: “It is surreal to know you debut feature film will be seen in cinemas particularly after the past two years of uncertainty.” #Gerardmer2022 PRIX DU JURY Le Prix du Jury de la 29e édition du Festival International du Film Fantastique de Gérardmer est attribué à SAMHAIN de Kate Dolan
