workshops, glass is tomorrow has collaborated with the saint-just glassworks, a company with an expertise that is unique in the world located in the commune of saint-just-saint-rambert this ‘living heritage company’ is the last of such factories in the country specializing in hand-blown glass for architectural applications the company has developed a mastery in producing flat colored glass panes to be used for the creation and restoration of stained glass windows (by matisse the renovation of historical monuments (including the palace of versailles) the unique methodology saint-just has honed over the years in crafting flat planes of artisanal glass actually begins from a hand-blown glass cylinder three-dimensional objects are transformed into a two-dimensional materials for architectural applications the process begins with a solid piece of tinted glass placed in the furnace in the evening and heated to arrive at the correct temperature the next morning at 6 am then collects the incandescent glass with a metal blowpipe the glassblower creates a cylindrical shape with the heated material by blowing into the heavy tube while simultaneously swinging the blowpipe within a deep and narrow pit set into the floor of the factory this swinging motion allows the glass to slowly and naturally stretch from a molten ball to a thin and delicate glass cylinder the tubular shape is removed from the blowpipe the shape is fed into a mechanical system that slices it along its length and reinserts it into an oven where another craftsman tends to its reheating the glass is refired to remove the tensions created by its cooling and to prevent its breaking the glass plates are squared off in a rectangular format and ready for use a glass artist inserts the blowpipe and molten glass into the flameimage © designboom craftsmen at the saint-just factory prepare glass to be made into a cylindrical shape image © designboom the material is spun while the hot blowpipe is cooled off with

destinations in themselves — sanctuaries of style Roglič neutralises attacks to take race lead as Van Aert dropped early on mountainous stage It was the American's third victory of 2022 and his first at WorldTour level After his overall challenge was ruined by a crash on the wind-buffeted second stage McNulty's lone effort in the Ardéche put an altogether different slant on his Paris-Nice "I was debating even continuing on or just resetting so from considering not even starting today who came home almost two minutes clear of chasers Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels-KTM) and Matteo Jorgensen (Movistar) The Col de la Mure also proved pivotal in the race for the general classification, as yellow jersey Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) was dropped on its slopes. His teammate Primož Roglič was thus left surprisingly isolated in the finale but the Slovenian withstood the accelerations of his direct rivals to move into the overall lead 39 seconds clear of Simon Yates (BikeExchange-Jayco) Jumbo-Visma had hitherto looked untouchable but they showed surprising vulnerability here considering their collective exhibitions in the opening half of the race By the upper reaches of the category 1 Col de la Mure Roglič had only Rohan Dennis for company in a severely reduced peloton and the Australian underscored his value by leading over the top of the climb Roglič was left to his own devices on the unclassified climb to Saint-Vincent-de-Durfort in the finale but taking care to track accelerations from Simon Yates and Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe) Roglič's rivals may come to rue their inability to exploit his solitude here and the men at the upper reaches of the general classification all crossed the finish line together he has in mind some other plans and other goals and trying to be ready for that," Roglič said of Van Aert's struggles The guys did a really great job pulling all day so that I could be at the end with the best ones." though it remains to be seen if weather conditions will allow for the planned summit finish atop the Col de Turini Roglič remains the favourite for overall victory I can also say that I have some experience from the last year there is a lot of racing coming up and I will do my best The peloton was decidedly smaller at the start of stage 5 in Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert with no fewer than 18 riders – among them Yves Lampaert and Zdenek Stybar (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl) – withdrawing overnight as flu swept through the peloton Four more riders would abandon on an attritional stage as Paris-Nice finally hit the hills after a flat opening half a climb redolent of the Tour de France's many visits to Saint-Étienne and the day's break was already clear of the bunch by its early slopes McNulty was joined by nine others in the move: Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) Michael Mørkøv (QuickStep-AlphaVinyl Owain Doull (EF Education-EasyPost) Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) and Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels-KTM) they had almost 6 minutes in hand on the peloton and they would maintain that buffer for most of the day as the race crossed into the Ardèche and crossed the Côte de Saint-Jeure-d'Ay Côte de Saint-Romain-de-Lerps and Côte de Toulard where Madouas did enough to secure the king of the mountains jersey Jumbo-Visma controlled the peloton on those early climbs and they seemed content to allow the escapees some leeway McNulty et al still had over 6 minutes in hand and it was already clear that the stage winner would come from their number McNulty briefly dropped to the rear of the break and Madouas cast a glance over his shoulder seemingly surprised that the American was struggling McNulty was simply depositing his arm warmers with his team car he accelerated from the back of the group to the front and then disappeared around the next bend but it was already clear that McNulty would not be seen again Jumbo-Visma's yellow-and-black jerseys began to drop away from the front as Arkea-Samsic took up the reins and when the maillot jaune Van Aert sat up Roglič suddenly only had Dennis for company set a steady tempo once Arkea-Samsic desisted and bunch relented sufficiently to allow the enterprising Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) clip off the front alone The Frenchman had almost a minute in hand over the summit but he would eventually be caught on the run-in was a minute clear of the remnants of the break at the top of the Mure with 33km remaining and he would double that advantage by the finish making light work of both a technical descent and the climb to Saint-Vincent-de-Durfort he could already savour victory on roads familiar from his recent Faun-Ardèche Classic victory "It was kind of put everything in for today I got in the break and then actually felt super good all day," McNulty said Daniel Martinez (Ineos) tested the waters with an attack on the last unclassified climb while Roglič preferred to mark Simon Yates and Vlasov's accelerations before unleashing a testing one of his own with 10km to go That effectively marked the end of the attacking as Martinez and the earlier attacker Martin were brought to heel and the remaining GC contenders rode to the finish together Jumbo-Visma's aura of invincibility may have diminished but Roglič's lead over his rivals is unchanged and the yellow jersey is on his shoulders This website is

France – Constantly market-driven and always seeking to innovate in the tableting sector Eurotab is now setting its sights on the coffee world divided up into three main categories in terms of consumption (ground coffee The company has just finished developing a new patented instant coffee tablet that is currently being intro-duced to the market’s principal brands After having joint-developed a roast and ground coffee tablet in the form of a 7 gram coffee bean (1 tablet for 1 cup of cof-fee) with one of the market leaders in 2009 EUROTAB is now offering an instant coffee tablet version EUROTAB wants to meet increasing needs in the instant coffee market The instant coffee market is in fact booming** and is worth around 30 billion dollars which translates to approximately 22% of all cups of coffee consumed around the world Emerging markets should represent 50% of all coffee consumption worldwide by 2020 and are responsible for the increase in demand for instant coffee The main driving forces behind this growth are increases in revenue and the rise of the middle class pre-miumisation of the category and the emergence of a café culture in these key countries Changes in consumer trends are also favouring coffee consumption on the go meaning that it must be easy to use and require no special equipment (all that is needed is a cup and hot water) precise dosage is also important as is the availability of flavoured coffee that can be drunk with or without milk The new instant coffee tablet is a convenient way to take your favourite coffee away with you in your pocket or handbag great for those who want good coffee anywhere and at any time of day these new tablets are made from instant coffee using a process proprietary to EUROTAB which preserves the great coffee taste Tablets come in a portable individual pack or in a family size pack and are available in regular or decaffeinated versions for short or long drinks An organic variant with brown sugar is also available In keeping with the current trends in coffee shop consumption there are also flavourings such as hazelnut A simple way to enjoy great coffee at home or away from home EUROTAB has put its expertise and leading edge technology in tableting at the forefront of development to produce this new product EUROTAB’s know-how has enabled it to turn concept into a reality with high added value and in accordance with market trends The challenge faced by the brand of producing a compact and solid yet quick dissolving and easy to use product has been overcome its flexible format means that manufacturers can be inventive when it comes to the shape and packaging (individual A pilot line is currently in place to ensure flexible enabling the company to carry out consumer tests for future customers in real operating conditions EUROTAB is showing that tableting has major advantages that meet the challenges laid down by sustainable development environmental and societal added value to consumers and manufacturers alike One can therefore say that this is an environmentally-friendly concept The instant coffee presented here thanks to this shaping process shows very high energy performance and its carbon footprint is minimal savings can be made for consumers in terms of waste (vs pods jars of instant coffee etc.) and for manufacturers and retailers in terms of packaging and volume of goods transported and stored environmental safety and shelf stocking etc EUROTAB is an independent SME specialised in the conception and technology of powder compression: the tablet EUROTAB aims to make the tablet a real concept in sustainable development a creator of added value for its users and all sectors involved *The term instant coffee covers « spray-dried » coffee

the peloton waiting-up for several struggling sprinters Building a maximum advantage of almost six minutes the chase was initially lead by Vital Concept It gained impetus with both Quick-Step Floors and AG2R La Mondiale helping close the gap A crash at 18km to go saw several riders crash and Trek-Segafredo’s Kiel Reijnen leaving the race The catch came at 12.4 km and just as the final lap began ]After 2,836m of climbing run off with a high average speed many of the teams were looking frayed Lotto-Soudal and Mitchelton-Scott made efforts to marshall the pack At 10 km another crash put paid to Axel Domont’s (AG2R La Mondial) day Team Sky looked to keep Kwiatkowski safe and in the lead with Tao Geoghegan Hart riding on the front BMC Racing’s Dylan Teuns tried to break away with 4km to go only to be closed down by Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Floors) and Kwiatkowski With the bunch now reduced to around 30 riders a Classics-style finish appeared on the cards Swinging onto the final 400metre climb Impey went early Alaphilippe was closest with Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) the best of the pure sprinters in third the lack of time differences means Kwiatkowski retains the

with Jorgenson being out-sprinted by Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels) so he had plenty of time to celebrate and let the success sink in "It's been a nice start just to have a couple of victories so to get this WorldTour victory is special." she coordinates coverage for North American events and global news As former elite-level road racer who dabbled in cyclo-cross and track Laura has a passion for all three disciplines When not working she likes to go camping and explore lesser traveled roads UCI governance and performing data analysis 80th edition of 'Race to Sun' also features exposed early stages and 13.4km time trial The 2022 edition of Paris-Nice will include a mountain finish atop the 14.9km Col du Turini a rolling 13.4km time trial in central France with the Col d'Eze offering a launchpad for final attacks before the descent to the finish on the Promenade des Anglais The route of the eight-day race was presented in Versailles where the ‘Race to the Sun’ will start on Sunday March 6 with the 80th edition of the race including more climbing than usual in the second half of the route the race route heads south from the French capital via Orléans and the eastern edge of the Massif Central to Aubagne on the Mediterranean coast near Marseille before the final two stages around the hills behind Nice.  The opening three stages appear to suit the sprinters and Classics riders but the risk of crosswinds on the exposed roads of the Beauce could shake-up the overall classification The 13.4km stage 4 time trial is between Domérat and Montluçon - the birthplace of Julian Alaphilippe It is on rolling country roads with a steep 700m kick-up to the finish line adding an extra twist and perhaps a chance for the double world champion The 188.8km fifth stage from Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert to Saint-Sauveur-de-Montagut near Saint-Étienne is packed with small climbs as is the long haul to the coast on stage 6 between Courthézon and Aubagne.  Stage 7 from Nice to the Col de Turini is only 155.4km long but heads deep into the Alpes-Maritimes and is rightly considered the Queen Stage of the 80th edition of Paris-Nice The climb to the finish is 14.9km long at a gradient of 7.3 per cent It is well known for riders who live in southern France and proved decisive in the 2019 edition of Paris-Nice when Dani Martínez won the stage and Egan Bernal secured overall victory It was Bernal's first European stage race win and he went on to win the Tour de France a few months later.  The final stage should return to the Promenade des Anglais after two years of COVID-19 disruption The 115km stage is packed with six categorised climbs with the Côte-de-Berre-les-Alpes added to the mix.  The Col d'Eze once hosted a final time trial or a hilltop finish but now offers a final chance to attack and shake-up the overall classification Maximilian Schachmann won Paris-Nice for the second year in a row in 2021 after Primož Roglič crashed during the final hilly stage and lost three minutes.  Race organisers ASO confirmed the automatic invitation of the 18 WorldTour teams plus Alpecin-Fenix and Arkéa-Samsic as the best ranked ProTeams B&B Hotels-KTM and Peter Sagan’s TotalEnergies team were awarded the two wildcard invitations.  Paris-Nice race director François Lemarchand told L’Equipe that Roglic and Bernal will be back at Paris-Nice this year He was confident Paris-Nice would go ahead despite the COVID-19 pandemic The last two editions of Paris-Nice were affected by the pandemic with final stages cut or changed to avoid central Nice “The pandemic is likely to affect us for the third year in a row If we have to organise Paris-Nice under the same conditions as last year “I hope all the same that we will not have to set up limitations that are penalizing for spectators Meetings with the prefectures will start next week."  ☀ Voici le parcours de la 𝟖𝟎𝐞̀𝐦𝐞 édition de #ParisNice ! ☀ The official route of the 𝟖𝟎𝐭𝐡 edition of #ParisNice! pic.twitter.com/rFTQ3MmfEGJanuary 5, 2022 Stephen FarrandSocial Links NavigationHead of NewsStephen is one of the most experienced member of the Cyclingnews team having reported on professional cycling since 1994 He has been Head of News at Cyclingnews since 2022 before which he held the position of European editor since 2012 and previously worked for Reuters Geraint Thomas and his Team Sky teammates carefully defended his race lead with the Welshman producing a late attack to gain a few extra seconds on his overall rivals before Sunday's final stage with Dan Martin (UAE Team Emirates) third at 23 seconds Thomas now leads Adam Yates (Mitchelton-Scott) by 1:29 with Romain Bardet (AG2R La Mondiale) third at 2:01 Criterium du Dauphine stage 6 -
