No significant changes in the ranking after the first road stage of the week
Stage 2 of “The Race of the Two Seas” was a slow one
due to the headwind and the small breakaway that wasn’t dangerous enough to make the peloton push hard behind in order to bring it back
Pepijn Reinderink being involved in one of these with around 40 kilometers to go
The man who animated Strade Bianche from the breakaway last Saturday was immediately assessed by the doctors and could continue the race
who with ten kilometers to go faced another crash
none of our riders hit the ground this time
as the bunch increased the pace in anticipation of the finish in Follonica
where Tirreno-Adriatico returned for the third consecutive year
while Paul Magnier avoided a crash and remained on his bike as one rider touched him with one kilometer to go
just as he was navigating through the field

The start is local, the Casciavoline attack with good continuity and defend with great attention, so they remain in the lead for almost the entire set, granting the guests the first advantage at 21-20. After a timeout the locals resume their rhythm, gaining a break of advantage that they maintain until the end of the set.
In the second set things don't change, but this time in the end it's the guests who show more lucidity and bring the match back to balance. The third set is the least balanced, Follonica he immediately takes off and finishes with ease.
In the fourth the Verodol returns to grinding out the game, always staying ahead reaching 20-16, a 5-0 partial puts everything back into question, the match goes to advantages, Casciavola wastes 4 set points and Follonica does not forgive.

FOLLONICA GAVORRANO: (Substitutes: Romano, Morelli, Souare, Kondaj, Scartabelli). Coach Federico Callai.
SERAVEZZA WELLS: Lagomarsini, Mosti, Paolieri, Greco (74' Sforzi), Lepri (81' Raineri), Benedetti, Bellini (86' Cesari), Turini, Accorsini (64' Coly), Sanzone, Stabile (73' Bocci). (Substitutes: Borghini, Bedini, Bartolini, Sava). Coach Lucio Brando.
Referee: Domenico Fabio Macrina from Reggio Calabria (line assistants Beatrice Neroni from Ciampino and Cristiano Rosati from Roma 2).
networks: 62' own goal (S), 67' Benedetti (S).
Footnotes: Pignat (F), Matteucci (F), Bramante (F), Tatti (F), Marino (F) and Turini (S) were cautioned.
In the second half the teams play more cautiously also because the stakes are very high. Follonica maneuvers well but Bassano often appears in front of Barozzi who makes two great saves on Riba and Galbas, maintaining the draw.
Follonica seizes the opportunity to take the lead: once again captain Pagnini dries out Verona from a penalty. A foul by Fede Pagnini allows Riba to score the equalizer from a penalty. The turning point comes on the red card in Montigel: referee Molli notices a foul by the Argentine at the goalkeeper and sends him out. The white and blues resist with three for 5' but must succumb to a goal by Galbas from outside the area. The final assault is useless. The "bella" is needed for the semifinal.
FOLLONICA: Barozzi (Mugnaini); Franchi, Thiel, Montigel, M.Pagnini, F.Pagnini, D.Banini, F.Banini, Bracali. All. Silva.
After the goalless draw at Poggibonsi, the red and white and blues are forced to win to avoid making dangerous calculations in the playout zone, where they currently occupy the sixth-last position with 40 points together with three other teams, namely Flaminia Civitacastellana, San Donato Tavarnelle and Aquila Montevarchi. Also interesting is the direct clash between San Donato and Flaminia, while Aquila Montevarchi will be playing at Ostiamare.
Formation and goals: Antognetti, Laviola, El Goundali 3, Vanello, Mazzanti 7, Meoni 4, Bugliani, Benedetti 2, Cerulli, Musetti 1, Biagioni, Benmansour 9, Gini 7, Perfigli 6.
Probable formation (4-3-3): 1 Lagomarsini (22 Borghini); 4 Mosti, 23 Sanzone, 3 Coly, 5 Paolieri (2006); 17 Sforzi (2005), 21 Bedini (6 Greco), 10 Bellini; 20 Bocci (2005), 9 Benedetti (C), 8 Lepri.

Meanwhile, at youth level, the Giovanissimi 2011 (Under 14) have qualified for the final of the Salivoli Tournament which will be held in the next few days.
POGGIBONSI (4-3-2-1): Pacini; El Dib (69' D'Amato), Martucci, Borri, Cecconi; Bellini. Subs: Baracco, Pisco, Fermi, Fremura. Coach: Baiano.

A commitment not to be underestimated, for Robur: taking the field with the belief that victory is already in the bag would be a mistake. As usual, grit, character and humility will be needed. And also the ability to know how to suffer, as happened to old Rastrello two days ago.
Formation: Mechini, Marchetti, Pezzini, Olivieri, Carrieri, Cardella, Bigatti, Mora, Cardelli.
Lineup: Taiti, Motaran, Pardini, Alonso, Maremmani, Raffaelli, Bellè, Mattugini, Ballestero, Bandieri.
The start was uphill for Spv right away, who went down with a center from Capuano in the 2nd minute. Santoro doubled the lead 29 seconds into the second half. Spagnuolo closed the gap in the 13th minute, then Francesco Poletti missed a direct shot for 20-2 in the 2th minute. "A match with two faces - explains Ales Martini -. Terrible first half and good second half, in which we wasted too much, however. Overall, not a positive performance. We're missing a striker up front".
Formation: Poletti Fi., Poletti Fr., Spagnuolo, Cinquini, Bicicchi, Del Medico, Toti F., Toti G.
Ranking: Castiglione 33; Pumas 31; Matera 30; Camaiore 27; Sarzana 21; Spv and Prato 10; Salerno 9; Follonica 4.
The Lidl Trek team was magnificent in the final kilometre, staying at the head of the pack thanks to Consonni's acceleration, with Milan taking the lead 200 metres from the finish line and taking the win.
Nothing has changed in the standings with Filippo Gana who keeps the blue jersey of leader of the classification on his shoulders.
Third stage from Tuscany to Umbria, 239 kilometers long. The official start will be at 9,45:XNUMX from Follonica, with an uphill finish at Valico di Colfiorito not far from Foligno.
In order to preserve the natural ecosystem of a prized beach in Tuscany
a closed number has been instituted: the municipality of Scarlino
for the summer months allows entry to the beach of Cala Violina only with prior reservation and in a maximum number of 700 people
The risk of overcrowding distorting the environment of this highly valuable natural heritage site led to this decision in 2021
a path that other places such as Cinque Terre are studying.Reservations apply only for the months of June
August and September and can only be made within 72 hours of the date
and one euro must be paid for each entry booked (excluding children)
Strict rules of behavior to be kept on site reopens
All information can be found on the appropriate website, www.calaviolinascarlino.it, and among the first warnings to read is that you cannot leave trash even as small as cigarette butts
as there are no trash bins to avoid becoming a lure for wild boars or other wildlife: we are in the Bandite Nature Reserve (8700 hectares)
There are tables with benches in the shade
but waste of all kinds must be taken away with you
so it is a good idea to have appropriate containers
Dogs (except guide or rescue dogs) and horses are not allowed to enter
People with disabilities can get as far as the entrance by reporting the license plate through the site (in fact
the dirt path to the beach is one kilometer long
one must send an e-mail to bandite@comune.scarlino.gr.it indicating the date and time of entry and exit
parking in the Val Martina parking area contains a maximum of 200 spaces for both cars and campers
City employees are present to monitor the entrances but the beach is not supervised by bathing attendants
We are in a crescent-shaped jewel of nature that owes its name to the noise the golden sand makes when you walk on it
reminiscent of the sound of a violin due to the special composition of the quartz granules that make it up
There are only about a hundred such places in the world
We are in the Gulf of Follonica halfway between the equally renowned Punta Ala and Follonica itself
it is a strip of beach facing an unspoiled sea
Cala Violina can only be reached on foot or by bicycle
Remaining free access without reservation are Cala Martina and Cala Civette
which can be reached on foot or by bicycle through the paths of the Costiere area
The intent of the municipal administration is to maintain and enhance natural resources with a view to sustainability
There is also a section on Cala Violina’s portal to help tourists who cannot find room in the 700 available to find a viable alternative with a guide to other places in the surrounding area with historical and cultural attractions as well as natural ones
it seems that the territory of Scarlino was already inhabited in prehistoric times as evidenced by some findings dating back to the Bronze Age
Other archaeological discoveries show that the village was also inhabited in the Hellenistic age
have confirmed the presence of lively commercial activities even before the Middle Ages
the name Scarlino seems to derive from “Scabris Portus,” a name given to the area in Roman times that identified it as a landing place between rugged and mountainous places
The town first arose in the year 1000 at the behest of the Aldobrandeschi family and later passed first to the bishops of Roselle and then to the Alberti family
In the thirteenth century the Aldobrandeschi again took possession of the center
which was ceded to the Pisans at the end of the century
from whom it then passed to the Appiani of Piombino
who incorporated it into their principality to which it remained subordinate until the early nineteenth century
After the Napoleonic period it became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany
In 1834 the municipality of Scarlino was downgraded to a hamlet and united with the municipality of Gavorrano from which it became autonomous by Presidential Decree on May 22
The municipal territory covers an area of 88 square kilometers
between the northwestern slopes of Poggio Ballone and the coastal strip
where it stretches for 11 kilometers between sandy beaches that reach the border with the municipality of Follonica and sheer cliffs that border the municipality of Castiglione della Pescaia
The territory reaches so far: 559 meters above sea level
the main urban center is located 229 meters above sea level
Along the coastline the climate is Mediterranean with characteristics that tend to gradually fade toward the hills and inland
inspired and feeding off the energy from the IJF World Tour
the cadet athletes return to the tour and this weekend it will be in Follonica
for the first time since before the pandemic
Returning with great numbers to kick off the tour
we have 478 judoka from 27 nations honing in on the western coast of Italy
the new season begins and the preparation for the majors is underway for the youngest of our future superstars
Bright MADDALONI NOSA and Jean CARLETTI from the host team storming the categories and have progressed further
whether it become IJF World Tour regulars or taking Junior European titles
Though there are many strong European representatives
Mongolia are sending in the big guns and have four top seeds
What is most exciting about the cadet events is the sheer number of completely unranked entrants that can come in to shake things up
The draw will be available tomorrow at 20:00 local time over on JudoTV.com
Following the two-day event on the 10th and 11th of February
the cadets will continue their adventure in a camp between the 12th and 14th
"It's a shame to have arrived at the break with a defeat - explains mister Masi after his team's Christmas break - knowing that we will start again from a difficult match. For those who have played a lot it is good to stop for the holidays, even if we wanted to give a bit of continuity to those who were recovering. Now we will start again".
The activities of the project began last March 14th
financed with a budget of half a million euros which will allow the monitoring of approximately 3,000 hectares in the offshore fish and shellfish farming plants in the area between Livorno and Grosseto thanks to a sort of "neural network" submarine
A project applied for the first time in Italy and unique in the Mediterranean Sea

"Sprinting is my talent," says Belgian after comfortable win in Follonica
The Belgian was one of the first riders through a sharp right-hand turn with 300m to go
and won by a comfortable margin in Follonica ahead of Tim Merlier (Soudal Quick-Step) and Axel Zingle (Cofidis).
Philipsen's victory came on only his fourth race day of 2024, one day earlier than he managed last season, when he went on to collect an astonishing 19 victories and the Tour de France green jersey.
"This time I'm really happy we could finish it off already today," the 26-year-old said afterwards
"I felt [Merlier] coming in the last corner and I knew I had to go and try to take his wheel
so I was happy I could find the right gear and launch my sprint at the right moment."
This season, Philipsen is targeting a strong showing in the Spring Classics, having finished second at Paris-Roubaix last year.
and there are still some nice chances coming this week

Bais’s breakaway companion Jan Stöckli (Corratec - Vini Fantini) shot out of the quartet
The Swiss rider swept up the intermediate sprint points and went solo up the road
before the peloton came back together with 37km remaining.
The bunch's speed barely dropped below 50km/h heading into the finale in Follonica. The pace proved too much for Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazqstan)
who struggled to rejoin the pack after a puncture with 18km to go.
Soudal Quick-Step and Uno-X led through a nerve-racking 90-degree bend with 300m to go
but Philipsen soon surged clear down the home straight
had time to sit up and celebrate before crossing the line
such was the dominance of his sprint.

Few regions delight food and wine lovers more than Tuscany
Domhnall and Teresa Micco at Petra Vineyard
Domhnall O'DonoghueSat 13 May 2023 at 08:00“Being close to the Tyrrhenian Sea
our climate isn’t too hot — our grapes are ripe but not cooked,” says Augusto Graziano from Petra’s winemaking team
this vineyard’s 300 hectares also overlook Elba
the island where Napoleon was exiled — the magical surroundings and local produce must surely have comforted Le Petit Corporal as his power evaporated
we get two additional hours of light daily,” Augusto continues
this spring sunshine illuminates the vines standing sentinel across the sloping fields
hornets and dragonflies - all whirling in its warmth
my appreciation of vino has been limited to consumption
I’m intoxicated simply by listening to Augusto discuss the importance of nature in the process
magnesium and iron in our soil,” he reveals
“The salty air is another natural element — acidity is important; without it
you become tired while drinking red wine.”
made from pink Veronese stone and resembling an ancient temple
It was designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta
the Italian construction entrepreneur Vittorio Moretti
also responsible for Bellavista sparkling wine in Northern Italy
Sommelier Elena Volyanska mentions that here
they specialise in the red variety — Cabernet Sauvignon
“Our entry-level wine is Hebo — €14 per bottle,” she reveals
“It acts like our business card — if you like it
After sampling their more expensive options — Petra and Quercegobbe — I proffer descriptions like “woody”
but I’m convinced I’ll soon be a connoisseur
explains that their land is similar to Tuscany’s most famous wine regions — Chianti and Montalcino — but the warmer temperatures allow their grapes to ripen up to four weeks earlier
Rocca di Frassinello was initially an ambitious collaboration between Italy’s Castellare di Castellina and leading French brand Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Château Lafite)
there’s a rivalry between French and Italian producers — this was the first time they came together,” Delia explains
“We brought together Tuscany’s main vine variety
the premises — designed by Renzo Piano — fuses functionality with beauty
The terracotta-coloured rooftop channels a flying carpet soaring over the rolling hills
allows sunlight to flood the subterranean pyramid-shaped barrel room — although to preserve the stock
the vineyard regularly collaborates with international artists
including famed photographer Dave LaChappelle
Their most exclusive bottle is the heavenly limited edition Baffonero costing €230 per bottle — its name pays tribute to local wild boar hunters
so the grapes are never stressed,” Delia mentions
adding that the vineyard marries advanced technologies with local winemaking traditions dating back to the Etruscans
we even discovered a 2,500-year-old Etruscan container with chemical elements of wine
We mightn’t yet have the fame of other Tuscan regions
the winemaking traditions span thousands of years.”
Accompanying me on my wine-tasting adventures is Teresa Micco
Sales Manager for Icon Collection Hotels — a quintet of luxury properties scattered across Tuscany
Returning to my accommodation — the newly opened Sense Experience Resort — I’m thankful she’s keeping an eye on the road
as my gaze is firmly fixed on the landscape
films and the imagination of millions worldwide
there’s an expression — ‘il dolce far niente’,” Teresa says
“Our domestic guests are happy to lounge by the pool or beach or listen to local musicians in the evening
which we’re happy to assist with — horse-riding
Overlooking the Gulf of Follonica and protected by a canopy of pine trees
the effortlessly cool Sense Experience Resort was once a 1960s holiday camp
this four-star establishment is suitable for families
they chose the name because they want people’s senses to connect with the sounds of the waves or gulls overhead
and the smell of the garden’s 7,000 shrubs
preserved the original buildings and grounds — minimal environmental impact with maximum yield,” Teresa says
noting that the interior colour scheme — a combination of blue
green and turquoise — mirrors the surrounding sea
She proudly mentions that they’re an eco-hotel — evident in the use of local products
their commitment to water conservation and recycling and their many electric car stations
Mother Nature is clearly the resort’s VIP guest — precisely as it should be
This green approach is apparent across their duo of restaurants
Overseen by husband-and-wife duo Nazareno Dodi and Alessandra Zacchei
“interpreting regional Italian food in a modern way to stimulate all five senses
Nazareno says popular dishes include wild boar and Maremmana beef
but their concept “plays with classic recipes by changing the textures or incorporating both sweet and savoury.”
as I sample their food — including chickpeas and eel and homing pigeon — I learn the couple met in Venice
With kitchens being notoriously stressful environments
I ask whether these pressures have impacted their relationship
“We share the same vision and philosophy,” Alessandra reports

Perhaps the worst season was precisely this one for Zini who in Maremma did not keep up his statistics, scoring only one goal in the first half of the season. A miserable haul for the offensive winger that the club decided to put on the market. With him, three forwards have changed sides this winter. In their place came Giustarini and Arrighini who, with Tatti, Bramante and Kondaj, are all players who can participate in the offensive phase of Mark Masi.
