kilometer vying for the win but when one is Marianne Vos the opportunity is not equal Lucinda had an impossible task: to find a way to beat the fast finish legs of Vos who knew her compatriot was the biggest threat kept a close watch on the Trek-Segafredo rider Lucinda played the finale as best she could and when the door opened as the road bent to the left “The finish was slightly up until 75 meters to the finish line But Vos anticipated the jump and was quickly on Brand’s wheel  There was no stopping one of the most decorated riders in road cyclocross and track from taking her 29th Giro win “It’s really hard to beat Marianne in a sprint it was really hard to get away,” added Brand “It was a difficult breakaway with strong and quick riders and I think I got the best out of it,” she said An emotional Vos pointed to the sky as she crossed the line dedicating the win to fellow cyclocross competitor Jolien Verschueren who had passed away two days earlier to cancer The breakaway went away on the penultimate GPM of the stage and with no threats to the pink jersey of Anna Van der Breggen the quartet built a lead of four minutes coming into the last kilometers “We saw already on paper this was a really nice stage for me,” explained Brand “It’s been a long time since we have seen rain in the Giro There were a lot of up and down and corners so it was a great stage to get in a breakaway.” It was apparent the Stage 3 win would come from one of the four Sometimes finishing second is not a hard pill to swallow The conditions were perfect for Evie Richards' career result Artlyst For New Beginnings: Paul Black Talks To Saad Qureshi At OVADA as the artist opened his studio at OVADA in Oxford for an informal exhibition of work in progress Qureshi is currently working on a new oeuvre of work as part of an Arts Council England funded Research and Development project The open studio is extended into OVADA’s gallery space to accommodate the new large-scale pieces that the artist is currently working on allowing the viewer to witness an insiders view of Qureshi’s practice Qureshi is working in charcoal and red brick dust to create drawings that explore other worldly environments; abstracted landscapes that form a relationship between drawing and sculpture through materiality with imagery somewhere between the real and the imagined The artist creates a series of mysterious red landscapes akin to the topographies of some unknown planet Qureshi juxtaposes sculptural elements with his dust drawings insinuating a relationship where the landscapes become environments for the artist’s sculptures Qureshi was kind enough to talk to Artlyst about the relationships between his drawing and sculpture and giving the viewer the opportunity to experience the work in progress Since graduating with an MFA from The Slade School of Fine Art in 2010 Qureshi has exhibited extensively both nationally and internationally Solo shows include Gazelli Art House in London and the Aicon Gallery in New York Group exhibitions include the Venice Biennale 2015 and the Museum voor Moderne Kunst (Arnhem) Selected prizes: Arts Council England Research Award and the Royal British Society of Sculptors Bursary Award Residencies include the BBC2 “School of Saatchi” (London) and the International Art Zone Qureshi’s works are held in the Farjam Foundation Collection (Dubai) the Creative Cities Collection (Beijing) and the Boston Consulting Group Collection Upcoming exhibitions include a solo show in November 2016 at Nunu Fine Art and a group show at Jhaveri

Ovada bibtights are the latest additions to Isadore’s collection both with the aim to keep riders on their bikes through winter in comfort and style At first glance you can tell the Ovada bibtights are designed for deep winter - they feel akin to putting on a wetsuit but also a touch inflexible - initially my pair were tight over my lower leg and knee but happily the fit relaxed slightly after a few uses The bibtight’s features are well thought out - there are reflective sections over your lower leg which complement panels of extra-thick Schoeller elastic membrane on the front of your thighs to make sure your quads stay warm enough to keep working well Both fabrics are finished with NanoSphere technology which is a weather-resistant surface treatment Isadore claims mimics the self-cleaning effect of certain plants In reality the treatment isn’t quite as prolific as the hype but the tights do repel water and mud uncommonly well and it stopped them looking too ransacked after particularly rotten rides Tested in combination with the Ovada tights was Isadore’s new Shield jersey It’s casual aesthetics are a marked departure from other designs currently on the market The jersey is a merino bi-component material blend composed of 53% polyester merino wool is a refreshing addition to the jersey’s make-up The natural properties of merino fit ideally with the premise of the Shield jersey -  it offers a combination of breathability and insulation that is still unsurpassed by synthetic fabrics with one of Isadore’s 100% merino baselayers underneath temperature regulation is much more dynamic - if you work hard the jersey has the insulation to warm you up but when you ease off - on a descent let’s say - the merino element allows a level of breathability that stops you overheating way more effectively than a synthetic garment where more often you get hot and can’t cool down all that quickly so for me the jersey functioned brilliantly in a temperature range of around 5-10°C yet the tights are so heavy duty they didn’t come into their own until the temperature flirted with zero the Ovada bibtights and Shield jersey-plus-baselayer outfit feels a little imbalanced in British conditions - when it is cold/grotty enough to wear the Ovada tights you’ll need something extra like Isadore’s Essential jacket on top and likewise when it is mild enough for the jersey without the jacket This should not detract from the quality of the individual garments though - 3 top layers and the Ovada tights will see you through the depths of winter baselayer and something like Isadore’s Thermoroubaix tights will do brilliantly for autumn and spring Isadore dares to do things a bit differently isadoreapparel.com You must be logged in to post a comment To

The 34-year-old’s victory was her 234th career win cementing her position as ‘the greatest of all time.’  Vos dedicated her victory to Belgian cyclo-cross talent Jolien Verschueren who died on Thursday at the age of 31 after fighting brain cancer for three years Verschueren was an accomplished cyclo-cross rider and a schoolteacher “It's so strange to lose Jolien Verschueren this week due to cancer and then we're here we think we suffer but there's so much more in life," Vos said in a tearful post-race interview I knew how dedicated she was and I wanted to do a special race for her.”   Vos' history of winning at the Giro d’Italia Donne spans 14 years since she won stage 2 into Correggio in the 2007 edition of the race.  Vos has won at least one stage of every Giro Donne she has started where she also won the GC and took 4 stage victories Vos won four stages in 2019 and three stages in 2020 where she also secured the points classification.  Vos’ Giro d'Italia Donne record of 29 stage wins now outstrips retired German rider Petra Rossner’s wins by 12 On the stage 3's 135km route from Casale Monferrato to Ovada Vos spent much of the race in a breakaway with Lucinda Brand Vos then comfortably outsprinted her rivals quashing any doubt in her form that may have arisen after she lost out in a sprint at La Course one week ago.  the Jumbo-Visma rider was the favourite to take the victory.  The gap between the break of four and the peloton increased to 3:44 during the stage despite chasing from Ceratizit-WNT and Team BikeExchange As the breakaway riders got closer to the finish while still maintaining over a two-minute lead it became clear that they would contest the win between them.  Brand dropped to the back of the group in an effort to launch off her rivals’ wheels in the sprint and the multidisciplinary rider was the first to start the charge to the line.  eventually winning by over a bike length to take her record 29th Giro d’Italia Donne victory.  “Of course it's incredible to win 29 times when you still can do your passion and when you can do what you love,” Vos said Vos is likely to contest for stage wins on further occasions this year and where she could bump up her stage win tally to 30 or more Warrior Artists At OVADA: Paul Black Reviews The Collective’s Latest Work Image: What Is Done Cannot Be Undone: A collaboration between the artists of Warrior Studios with OVADA Gallery, installation detail. Photo: P A Black © 2016. In fact music is a reference in the work, bringing in analogies of all encompassing sound within a space. Electric guitars form sculptural elements buried in the mass of materials, highlighting this convulsive pulse of an installation, where objecthood multiplies like the repeats from echolocation, almost as if the artists are attempting to explore the visual nature of sound. This is art that is solely about process – the nature of practice – after all there is no aesthetic to a work without a conclusion? Some members of the collective attempt – and even succeed – in maintaining some sort of formal aesthetic, but this only serves to create islands of individual works within the installation, while other members seem to fill the space with a viral fervour. Warrior Studios is a collective of 12 artists that are currently: Jane Campbell, David Degreef-Mounier, Phil Dobson, Hugh Gilmour, James Alec Hardy, Jez Jacobs, Jeremy Jeffs, Gary Kempston, Duncan McAfee, Michael Rodgers, Pauline Smith, and Federica Dalla Vecchia. Founded in the late 1980s, the Warrior artists have recently sought to work in a more collaborative way, exhibiting together and producing artists’ publications under the banner of Warrior Press.

Photo: P A Black © 2016 What Is Done Cannot Be Undone: A collaboration between the artists of Warrior Studios with OVADA – OVADA Gallery, Oxford – until 24 April 2016 last two decades wines from Piedmont saw unprecedented success in the global market Barbaresco and the many other wine appellations based on the grape Nebbiolo a vast number of the high-quality wines from the region are produced from this grape variety Yet wines produced from Dolcetto are struggling to get the recognition that they may deserve Let me start by addressing Dolcetto’s biggest fortune and misfortune: Dolcetto is an early ripening grape it ripens two to three weeks before its counterparts Nebbiolo and Barbera producers in appellations that are focused on Nebbiolo and Barbera tend to plant Dolcetto in those vineyards that are less favourable reserving the best vineyard to other grapes The wines are typically produced to be ready for bottling in the spring following the harvest Dolcetto has gained a reputation for wines that are simple and best enjoyed young Dolcetto grapes from DOCG regions are worth a second look says Mattia Scarpazza vice president of Dolcetto Ovada Superiore DOCG says: “Dolcetto can ripen in those less favourable sites but the resulting wines are hardly ever of great interest.” But then adds: “For Dolcetto to produce high-quality wines that are complex and age-worthy it needs time to fully mature its tannins in the vineyards as they are found in the pips,whereas Nebbiolo’s tannins are found in its skins The grapes that are allowed to fully ripen can handle more intricate and lengthy winemaking techniques where I find that things become interesting On one side Dolcetto wines can be a source of income months or even in some cases years before Nebbiolo wines which is something favourable to producers in those appellations where the grape is predominant you have the case that Dolcetto can produce wines that are age-worthy and have a sense of place that unfortunately are lying under the radar of most consumers for Dolcetto are unquestionably the three DOCGs: Dogliani; Diano D’Alba; and Those three regions are focused solely on the production of Dolcetto and the best vineyards are reserved for the grape The reason Ovada was awarded DOCG status so late was certainly not for the lack of historical background As Oddone says: “The region of Ovada was the first Dolcetto DOC in Italy in 1972 and is where the modern clone was generated.” Ovada DOCG quality and classification is divided into three tiers: Dolcetto d’Ovada Superiore; “Vigna”; and “Riserva” or “Vigna Riserva” which are interchangeable Yields are limited to 49Hl/ha and (42hl/ha for “Vigna” and “Riservas”) in comparison and with a minimum potential alcohol of 12.5% and (13% hl/ha for “Vigna” and “Riservas”) Wines need to mature for at least 12 months for Superiore and 20 months to 24 months for “Riserva” and “Vigna Riserva” typically ageing is carried out in large wooded barrels to aid oxygenation without adding flavours Fermentation are typically 10 to 20 days long Commonly seen are open vats fermentation in both stainless steel and what the locals refer as ‘Botti’ typically very old.Exceptions do exist but are somewhat limited So what does a high-quality Dolcetto need to have Oddone is crystal clear: “Supple and ripe tannins as Dolcetto tannins are prevalently found in the pips Many things are needed to achieve integrated tannins Vineyard management is essential to ensure the final wines have balanced tannins and complex aromas As Oddone explains: “Dolcetto is vigorous and needs more hours of pruning than Nebbiolo ensuring that the canopy is balanced and that the yields are low This also helps achieve ripeness without loosing acidity of which Dolcetto doesn’t have as much Nebbiolo or Barbera many producers outside the DOCGs are not investing the time and effort and are producing too many wines that are unbalanced is the image that consumers have of Dolcetto But if you focus on the quality Dolcettos then you can find wines with a real sense of place as they move towards black fruits and savoury notes Ovada is one of the key regions for producing quality Dolcetto Ovada is a relatively small region, close to the more prestigious Gavi area.Dolcetto produced here is notably different from the other two DOGCs and the various DOCs. Ovada wines are focused, rich in flavours, and have a hearty and savoury undernote. Cascina Gentile releases its Ovada three years after harvesting Give them another couple of years and they really express their full potential tar-like aromas.Although their acidity is not pronounced the opulent flavour profile helps with the extra ageing Other notable producers from the area are Rossi Contini, which produces an age-worthy single vineyard ‘Vigneto Ninan’ from a 0.7 plot on pure white chalk soil aged in used barriques for 20 months and further aged in bottle for at least a year and green tea aromas and it can also age beautifully Dolcetto is an underrated grape that can produce fantastic wines that span from gastronomical (pairing amazingly with aperitifs and mediterranean cuisine) to complex long-lived wines It will take a few more years and a lot of effort to raise the global interest For buyers and consumers there is the opportunity to experience one of the most historical grapes of Piedmont wines are well priced especially compared to the more famous appellations of Piedmont With more consumers becoming aware of Nebbiolo more will start looking at what else is available from Piedmont Dolcetto-focused producers must take this opportunity to establish themselves The Buyer TVClick below to watch The Buyer's library of online debates, videos and webinars.

finishing in Ovada The hilly day featured rolling terrain in the first half but this was followed by a flat 25 km run-in to the line resulting in a tense final three kilometres with two breakaway riders being swept up under the flamme rouge to her team mate Lucinda Brand after the Sunweb rider collected bonus points and kicked off the chase in the last 15km The peloton was treated to a 6km climb after just 2km of riding - but the 165 starting riders stayed largely together early on A group of nine riders made a break for it with 103km to go but were neutralised without too much bother from the peloton The first intermediate sprint went to Sunweb's Leah Kirchmann with team mate Lucinda Brand just behind Sheyla Gutiérrez (Cylance) attacked and very quickly accumulated a gap of a

you’re breeding one legend to the daughter of another legend you’re kind of hoping that the resulting foal is going to be something special,” she said Theresa said they’ve always bred quality horses with some having been sold to buyers in Florida There are other breeders in Nova Scotia and across the Maritimes that have excellent programs and who sell horses all over North America since European breeding programs are considered years ahead it isn’t usually the case that a horse foal bred in Canada is sold across the Atlantic Total Glamour will be heading to Europe in March 2024 “For them to look outside of Europe for a foal She hopes this will help them start a new trend She has received congratulations from just about every breeder in Canada and the United States The new owner has told them they are working with Princess Nathalie Zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and Cathrine Dufour he’ll have to prove himself against the very best,” Theresa said The Steeles weren’t sure at first if the undisclosed buyer was legitimate Theresa posted a photo of Total Glamour at one day old on a European Facebook page and began hearing from the buyer almost immediately Theresa said this is a real feather in the hat of Steele Family Warmbloods and Scots Bay with its hills and large pastures is a beautiful place to breed horses Lindsay said she’s been riding for as long as she can remember She has been in the barns of Olympians and has seen some fabulous horses Lindsay recalls mentioning to her mom as soon as Total Glamour was born that she has never seen a colt as nice “I kind of joked because my birthday was in July and mom asked me what I wanted she realized Total Glamour had to go somewhere he could reach his potential and she is very excited to see him going to Europe he could end up a world champion stallion or competing at the Olympics Lindsay said European lines have been coming to North America since the advancement of artificial insemination technology She said it was a difficult year for horse breeders in general with lower-than-normal conception rates so they were particularly fortunate to be blessed with Total Glamour Lindsay said the sale of Total Glamour is also a testament to Landreville’s breeding program She said there are some famous riders who have come out of Nova Scotia including Canadian Olympian Brittany Fraser-Beaulieu she had to move to Quebec to achieve her dreams with the national dressage team Lindsay said it could mean that other international buyers look to them for their next champion If the genetics are there and more European buyers begin taking notice of Nova Scotia it will be good for all horse breeders in the province but Nova Scotia has never been the equestrian centre of Canada or anything and anybody that comes out of here has to work twice as hard and they have to travel,” Lindsay said “If the horses are here and people start getting recognized then maybe it creates more opportunities for other people as a whole
