Bethy Mununga Matchup details: Sepsi-SIC has been held under 60 points in three of its first four games and its poor cumulative assist-to-turnover ratio (13.2 assists per game against 19 turnovers) remains a major factor That’s simply not going to get it done against a club as stout on the defensive end as DVTK While scorers like Hristova (15 points per game) and Green (13 points per game) have mostly held up their end of the bargain the club’s roster as a whole is shooting 38.3 percent from the field a number it will have a hard time exceeding against DVTK’s big frontcourt and a good opportunity for DVTK to improve to 5-0 How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Destiny Slocum (SERCO UNI Győr); Brittney Sykes Matchup details: Győr will be without Miller for at least a few more weeks as she recovers from a knee injury but the Hungarian club seemed unaffected by her absence last week picking up its first win of the season against Landes behind Slocum (26 points) All eyes will be on Mavunga’s return for Polkowice but she’ll draw a difficult individual matchup in Anigwe who is averaging 19 points and 10 rebounds per game Győr has played better than its record might indicate so even though Polkowice has the bigger names It may be a high-scoring one; Győr is currently allowing 81.8 points per game How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Maia Hirsch (Villeneuve d’Ascq LM); Ezi Magbegor Matchup details: Villeneuve d’Ascq was able to right the ship last week by beating previously-undefeated Bologna and they didn’t even need their usual big scoring game from Burke (12 points and 11 rebounds) to do it but this week’s game against Praha likely will be even tougher Praha has a significant edge over Villeneuve d’Ascq in rebounding (39.8 rebounds per game to 34 per game) thanks in large part to Magbegor who has been one of the competition’s most productive players to this point: 19 points Kariata Diaby has been spectacular up front for Villeneuve d’Ascq LM averaging 13.3 points per game on 66.7 percent shooting from the field But the club’s guards may need to carry the scoring load against Praha if they’re going to pull off the upset Where: Espace François-Mitterrand in Mont-de-Marsan How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Silvia Dominguez (Perfumerias Avenida);

Dorka Juhász Matchup details: Schio proved to be not quite ready for prime time last week dropping its matchup against Fenerbahçe by 26 points There’s a good chance for the Italian club to redeem itself this week as ASVEL continues to struggle While the absences of Gabby Williams and Marine Johannès are definitely factors it’s not enough of a reason for a winless record at this juncture Time is already running out for ASVEL to make a playoff push; the French club will need to start winning now Getting offense from a player besides Fauthoux (16 points and 2.5 3-pointers made per game) will go a long way in doing so How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Nikolina Milic (Fenerbahçe Alagöz Holding);

Regardless, ASVEL’s matchup this week against Lublin has the potential to be a good one. Dolson’s game-winner against the Polish club back in Week 6 was one of this season’s more exciting moments and it’s not like Lublin is completely devoid of talent either Gustavsson is currently leading the competition in rebounding at 9.3 per game and Burton is averaging 12 points and a whopping 4.2 steals in five games How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Olivia Epoupa (Çukurova Basketbol Mersin); Bridget Carleton were right in line with her season average (19.9) and the competition’s leading scorer will now get the opportunity to lead her club to a third-straight win and a EuroLeague Women playoff berth Keep an eye on the frontcourt matchup between Williams and Anigwe the latter of whom is still getting her feet beneath her after an extended midseason absence How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Haley Peters (Virtus Segafredo Bologna); Ezi Magbegor How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Silvia Dominguez (Perfumerias Avenida); Brittney Sykes Matchup details: The playoff implications of this game are greater than those of any other on this week’s slate. It’s win or go home for Avenida, while Polkowice can only survive a loss if Villeneuve-d’Ascq also loses, according to FIBA.com. Back in Week 6 Avenida defeated Polkowice thanks to superior fourth-quarter defense and 21 points from Koné It’s not easy to hold Polkowice down (73.4 points per game) but the Polish club isn’t as disciplined defensively as Avenida Whether the game is low-scoring or high-scoring might be a good predictor of who comes out on top Where: Pabellón Municipal Fuente de San Luis in Valencia How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream We’ll see if DVTK can get out of cruise control and eliminate Valencia or if Iagupova and company can continue their improbable run Where: Espace François Mitterrand in Mont-de-Marsan How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Kariata Diaby (Villeneuve-d’Ascq LM); Alexis Peterson Matchup details: Villeneuve-d’Ascq earned a huge win last week over Group B favorite Praha While the French club hasn’t qualified for the playoffs just yet there are several avenues for that to happen this week including either a Bologna or Polkowice loss Villeneuve-d’Ascq has also climbed to third in the competition in scoring (73.9 points per game) so we’ll see if fellow French club Landes will be able to keep pace with Burke has already been eliminated from postseason qualification How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Aleksa Gulbe (Casademont Zaragoza); Dorka Juhász Matchup details: This is by far the most intriguing matchup out of Group A this week, although both Zaragoza and Schio likely will end up making the playoffs no matter the result of this game. According to FIBA.com the winner of this matchup will qualify for a spot in the postseason and both clubs will qualify simultaneously should Valencia lose Schio will look to keep its hot streak of four wins in five games going while Zaragoza must bounce back after getting blown out by Valencia last week The three Wednesday EuroLeague Women Qualifiers were more than just an appetizer before the start of the most prestigious women’s basketball competition in Europe Six teams are vying for three spots in the 2023-24 EuroLeague Women season: with the second leg scheduled for the following week on Sep To be among the top 16 women’s basketball franchises who annually square off for the title of the best on the continent teams must survive the two-leg qualifying system The six teams are divided into three pairings of two with each pairing competing in a home-and-home series to determine the team that will join the EuroLeague the team that scores the most combined points progresses The three teams that do not prevail will compete in the EuroCup Women season Here’s what happened during the first day of qualifying action: center/power forward for the Phoenix Mercury left the United States a week ago after the best season of her professional career and moved across the Atlantic to her new team The English team has been devouring competition in their home country for the last two seasons losing just one regular season game during that period as proven by their loss to the Hungarian League runner up by 15 points The home loss significantly limited the English champions’ chances of progressing which give the Lions some optimism for the future The brightest was the performance off the bench by Gustafson stepped in and delivered with 13 points on 6-for-10 shooting and grabbed seven rebounds Just imagine how great she’ll perform after she gets to know her teammates and the plays Sepsi-SIC’s Bethy Mununga played for Northeastern Oklahoma A&M for two years where she averaged 17 points and 13 rebounds and then transferred to the University of South Florida where her averages for three years were 9.9 points and 11.3 rebounds At 26 years old, she still is waiting to be picked up by a WNBA team which is disappointing considering her knack for catching the ball whenever it bounces off the backboard or falls off the rim After being a part of the European Championship-winning Belgian National Team And more will follow if she continues to perform for the Romanian champions like she did on Wednesday she had seven points and 15 rebounds to finish the game an impressive plus-16 the power forward’s performance was rivaled by Baylor University alum Dekeiya Cohen And with a five-point margin between the two teams with the result likely decided by defense and second-chance points Although BC Polkowice may have finished last season in second place in Poland while Besiktas was third in Turkey both teams delivered a first-class performance a true nail-biter fitting for the beautiful arena in Istanbul The star of the show was 28-year-old Serbian center Dragana Stankovic a last-minute pickup from Hungarian powerhouse Sopron Basket who is making her return to Poland after two years The 30th overall pick of the 2015 WNBA Draft and Slovenian point guard 31-year-old Nika Baric provided veteran play that allowed the Polish team to keep the lead after Besiktas started to make a late comeback Baric had a great all-around performance with 14 points The key for Polkowice to win at home will be to contain Besiktas’ power forward Elif Bayram who at 22 years old is in store for a breakout year Already a part of the national team as a bench player she proved on Wednesday that she is worthy of a starting role Bayram can cut to the basket and play off the ball like a much older She has the instincts to be great; the more she plays as Fenerbahce underlined their title potential POLKOWICE (EuroLeague Women) - CCC Polkowice and BLMA are off the mark after taking their opening wins of the EuroLeague Women season Having lost a number of close games to fall to 0-3, the pressure was on George Dikeoulakos and his CCC Polkowice team, but they managed to belatedly get rolling by slipping past Tango Bourges Basket 71-66 Artemis Spanou epitomized the spirit shown by the Polish side as she played some great defense and added 11 points and 9 rebounds Meanwhile, BLMA are breathing a sigh of relief as they relied on a smart 15 points and 6 assists from Italian guard Giorgia Sottana to outlast Nadezhda 76-69 There was high drama in Ekaterinburg as two juggernauts collided, with home side UMMC coming off worse as they were taken down by an Ana Dabovic-inspired Fenerbahce 73-71 The Serbian scored 21 points and hit what proved to be the game-winner "It was a very good win for us [ @BC_UMMC ].

All games will be streamed live and for free on FIBA’s EuroLeague Women YouTube channel Let’s dive into each of the week’s matchups and which players to keep an eye on How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Olivia Epoupa (Fenerbahçe Alagöz Holding); Stephanie Mavunga Matchup details: Polkowice’s season-opening blowout of Fenerbahçe laid the groundwork for much of what has made the Polish club so tough since then It currently leads EuroLeague Women in rebounds per game (44.4) and no club has attempted (26.3) or made (10.3) more 3-pointers per game Fenerbahçe’s lineup looks considerably different than it did in Week 1 and it now has the all-around firepower it needs to compete with Polkowice’s shooting If you can watch only one game on Wednesday How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Briann January (CBK Mersin Yenişehir Bld); Bridget Carleton Aleksandra Crvendakić (Perfumerias Avenida) but that was before Gray and Hayes had joined Mersin so that result probably doesn’t mean much now How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Kylee Shook (Olympiacós SFP); Yvonne Anderson Matchup details: A matchup against winless Olympiacós comes at a good time for Bourges which just a few weeks ago seemed like a solid contender for Group A’s fourth playoff spot but has since fallen off with a pair of losses Efficient scoring continues to be an issue for the French club ranking third in the competition in points per game (18.7) Gustafson continues her massive campaign for Olympiacós (24.6 points and 28.6 efficiency per game — both first in EuroLeague Women) but it hasn’t been enough to make up for the club’s porous defense (80.3 points allowed per game) How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Sydney Wallace (Atomerőmű KSC Szekszárd); Alyssa Thomas How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Shay Murphy (Spar Girona); Marine Fauthoux Matchup details: Girona seems to be headed in the right direction again after a surprising Week 7 upset of rival club Avenida, and will finally have Sykes available after a complicated transfer from Sopron left her unable to play for a few weeks. Landes was able to keep Week 1’s game against Girona close but hasn’t done much around the competition since then; the French club is averaging a competition-low 59 points per game when matched up against Girona’s 61.3 points allowed per game How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Kitija Laksa (Virtus Segafredo Bologna); Lauren Cox Matchup details: The back-and-forth affair between Bologna and Valencia was one of Week 1’s highlights and it wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect another close one in their rematch Bologna probably needs to win more; the Italian club is currently in seventh place in Group A while its opponent Valencia is in fourth and would advance to the EuroLeague Women playoffs if they started today Bologna hasn’t shot the ball particularly well in group play which is a bit of a surprise given how adept players like Zandalasini and Laksa are from behind the arc it’s now against Valencia’s stout defense (10.4 steals per game) How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Jelena Brooks (Sopron Basket); Morgan Bertsch Matchup details: It hasn’t been the smoothest of sailing for the defending EuroLeague Women champs, but Sopron has managed to stay relevant in Group B thanks to ball security and its trademark defense (60.9 points allowed per game). It was certainly a recipe for success back in Week 1 when Sopron defeated Mechelen by nearly 30 points We’ll see if the young Belgian club can leverage better efforts from Bertsch (16.4 points per game) and Morrison (16 points per game) into a more competitive effort this time around How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Cheridene Green (DVTK HUN-Therm); Rhyne Howard Matchup details: Schio had a four-game winning streak snapped last week against Sopron, so you can bet the Italian club is looking at DVTK as a prime opportunity to get back on track. The two teams played a high-scoring game in Week 1 that went to overtime with Schio eventually prevailing; while Schio is the more talented team on paper which has been on the right side of several close games thus far in group play Stephanie Mavunga is playing some of the best basketball of her career for Polish club BC Polkowice and is currently leading EuroLeague Women in rebounding She’ll be a key player to watch in Week 6 of the competition when Polkowice takes on Yvonne Anderson and Tango Bourges Basket Week 6 of the 2022-23 EuroLeague Women season tips-off on Wednesday, Dec. 14 with an eight-game slate featuring some of the top basketball talent in the world. FIBA has tabbed an afternoon game between Polish club BC Polkowice (4-1) and French club Tango Bourges Basket (3-2) as the game of the week Another game. Another double double. Another win. @SMavunga_23 with 18 PTS & 13 REB as @PolkowiceBasket survive against Valencia and claim the top spot in #EuroLeagueWomen Group A! pic.twitter.com/nrEK1kWnZX Polkowice has already beaten both Fenerbahçe and Praha once helping its own potential playoff seeding down the road and recently added guard Erica Wheeler to its roster giving the club another ball handler whose playmaking will be key if it’s going to sustain its early-season success The individual matchup between Wheeler and Yvonne Anderson will be one to watch on Wednesday; Anderson another veteran playing perhaps the best ball of her international career (17.2 points 3.2 assists and 2.4 steals per game) will need to have a big game if Bourges is to hang with Polkowice’s high-powered offense Elsewhere, Rhyne Howard and Marina Mabrey will try to lead Italian club Beretta Famila Schio to its third-straight win, while Arella Guirantes and Hungarian club DVTK HUN-Therm will aim for another upset of a highly-favored team. The action begins at 11 a.m. ET with games tipping off through the morning and afternoon; you can catch them live and for free on FIBA’s EuroLeague Women YouTube channel How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Briann January (CBK Mersin Yenişehir Bld); Brittney Sykes Matchup details: Both Mersin and Girona are coming off disappointing losses in Week 5 though given the levels of talent and preseason expectations the overall sense of urgency is probably higher for Mersin Girona eagerly awaits the debut of its prized transfer Sykes who will presumably be given a hefty role on both ends of the floor; Mersin having waited a few weeks for its imports to arrive but is now sitting at full strength How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Sydney Wallace (Atomerőmű KSC Szekszárd); Cheyenne Parker Matchup details: Szekszárd hasn’t gone on a streak of any kind thus far though the club is going to need to start playing better defense (81.8 points allowed per game; most in EuroLeague Women) if it’s going to get back to .500 this week We’ve come to expect big performances from Goree (14.2 points and seven rebounds per game) and Vivians (19.4 points and 6.2 rebounds per game) but the key to a Szekszárd victory may lie in the hands of Wallace who has struggled shooting the ball (29.5 percent) to this point She’ll have a tough assignment on the perimeter against Laksa and Zandalasini who combine to average 26.2 points per game How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Valériane Vukosavljević (ZVVZ USK Praha); Megan Gustafson this is probably the biggest mismatch of the week Praha boasts the competition’s second-best offense (78 points per game) while Olympiacós has its second-worst defense (80.4 points allowed per game) Gustafson continues to score at an absurdly high rate leading EuroLeague Women with 26.3 points per game Praha has plenty of size on the interior to throw at her; meanwhile though Olympiacós certainly isn’t alone in that regard The veteran forward is currently averaging 21.4 points and will likely be a favorite for group phase MVP How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Kim Mestdagh (Beretta Famila Schio); Morgan Bertsch Matchup details: Schio is among the hottest teams in EuroLeague Women having now won three consecutive games and leading Group B in scoring (75.6 points per game) Mabrey and Howard have formed a potent duo on the perimeter and the club is also getting solid contributions from forward Jasmine Keys who is nearly averaging a double-double (9.6 points and nine rebounds per game) Mechelen has adept scorers in Bertsch (15.4 points per game) and Morrison (16.2 points per game) but ranks 15th in the competition in both rebounds and assists per game — peripheral areas that Schio will have a considerable advantage in How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Celine Dumerc (Basket Landes); Ezi Magbegor Matchup details: Landes finally got in the win column last week against Mechelen and now has a chance to make it two in a row against Sopron, which suddenly looks the most vulnerable it’s been in years. The defending EuroLeague Women champs scored the fewest points of any team last week (53) and though defense has historically been the Hungarian club’s identity the jury is out on whether it will have enough scoring to repeat its recent success Brooks currently leads Sopron in scoring at 14.8 points per game but is knocking down only 19 percent of her 3-point attempts; she and Turner will be expected to provide more of a scoring punch as the season progresses How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Kayla Alexander (Tango Bourges Basket); Stephanie Mavunga Matchup details: Mavunga gets the lion’s share of the attention for Polkowice but she’s far from the club’s only significant contributor Polkowice is shooting 40.6 percent on 3-pointers and is third in the competition in assists per game (20) Bourges doesn’t have that kind of offensive firepower but it does have one of the competition’s more productive frontcourt players in Alexander (11.2 points and 11 rebounds per game) and ranks second in EuroLeague Women in steals per game (10.8) so we’ll see if the French club can leverage those advantages and deal Polkowice its second loss in group play Where: Pabellón Municipal Fuente de San Luis How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Alba Torrens (Valencia Basket Club); Natasha Howard Matchup details: Fenerbahçe has officially put its disappointing start to the season in the rearview mirror, a big win over Praha its latest in a three-game winning streak The Turkish club is currently leading EuroLeague Women in scoring (81.8 points per game) despite averaging only 4.8 treys; conversely Valencia has been around the middle of the pack in per-game scoring but is actually shooting better from 3-point range (43.1 percent) than on 2-pointers (42.6 percent) The hot outside shooting will need to continue for the Spanish club if it’s going to overcome Fenerbahçe’s well-rounded attack How to watch: FIBA YouTube live stream Aleksandra Crvendakić (Perfumerias Avenida); Arella Guirantes Matchup details: Can DVTK slay another giant? The Hungarian club earned its second victory of the season last week in upset fashion, holding Girona to just 58 points. The door is open for another such performance against Avenida, which recently parted ways with forward Erica McCall; Avenida has embraced the challenge of losing talent early in the season and is currently tied with Schio for the best record in Group B The individual matchup between Carleton and Guirantes will be a good one to watch as this game brings up the end of Week 6’s schedule DVTK Hun-Therm and BC Polkowice complete the top 16 teams that will square off in the 2023-24 EuroLeague regular season The second leg of Qualifiers for the 2023-24 EuroLeague took place on Wednesday In the first leg BC Polkowice beat Besiktas JK by one point Sepsi-SIC beat TTT Riga by five points and DVTK HUN-Therm bettered the London Lions by 15 points Combining the results from both qualifying games Sepsi and DVTK punched their tickets to the EuroLeague The game that was supposed to be the most competitive of the three turned out to be the opposite Polkowice performed their game plan to perfection gradually building up their lead quarter after quarter while keeping Besiktas at a distance to extended the one-point lead acquired in Game One in Istanbul And that was possible in large part thanks to Polkowice’s point guard Nika Barič who was the extension of the coach on the court She scored 12 points and dished out seven assists while not committing a single turnover in her 32 minutes on the court Despite joining the team prior to this season she has enormous experience at the highest level confirmed by her three EuroLeague Women championships with UMMC Ekaterinburg Polkowice will be in good hands as they compete in EuroLeague Morgan Green got an invitation to the New York Liberty training camp prior to this season but she did not make the roster and had to return to Europe No one disputes her ability to influence the game of basketball with the things that pure point guards do best—assists and tough defense Even as she struggled with her shot (3-for-10) and committed eight turnovers she was able to overcome her difficulties and still deliver a solid performance And with the aid of Swedish veteran Ellen Nystrom going 4-for-4 from 3 and finishing the game with 21 points the Romanian champions were able to hold off the Latvian champions and progress to the group stage of EuroLeague for the first time getting 17 offensive rebounds and taking 10 more shots as making a bit over one-third of their attempts simply was not enough to eliminate the Romanians Yes, the Lions only had a puncher’s chance at progressing to the next round, but that didn’t mean that they weren’t going to give it their all in a rematch against DVTK Hun-Therm in the Hungarian city of Miskolc. Leading the charge was Holly Winterburn, a 5-foot-11 guard out of Northampton. If that name sounds familiar, Winterburn spent a year at Oregon, playing around 11 minutes per game for the Ducks as she backed up WNBA superstar Sabrina Ionescu Winterburn struggled much like the rest of her team she delivered a performance that was Ionescu-esque scoring 27 points as she went 7-for-12 from 3 and you’ve got yourself more proof that the 22-year-old can ball with the best of them She’s been gradually building up her position on the British national team rising through the ranks after playing successfully at almost every youth level she may become one of the best playmakers in Europe for years to come And remember our “bold” prediction about Megan Gustafson getting better once she got to spend more time with her teammates she had 20 points on 75 percent shooting and seven rebounds as a starter for the Lions In the US she may be known as Mercury Megs but the people in London will soon come up with a new nickname for her Polish team sourcing replacements to ride on Sunday The Polish team said that it would still take part on Sunday and is arranging for replacement bikes to be shipped out to the Netherlands Team Sky bikes stolen on the eve of Tour du Haut-Var News Shorts: Bigla Pro Cycling bikes stolen in Milano Tibco-SVB team bikes stolen from race hotel CCC Sprandi Polkowice win Coppi e Bartali team time trial Sho-Air Twenty20 bikes stolen, $10,000 reward - Women's News Shorts all of our bikes and spare wheels were stolen from our truck,” the team tweeted Friday morning They called for any witnesses to come forward and to contact them with information at proteam@cccsport.eu The team confirmed to Cyclingnews that a police investigation is underway and CCTV footage is being reviewed The truck was parked in the closed car park outside of the team's hotel The missing equipment was noticed by one of the team's soigneurs when he went to pick up some items for breakfast The Professional Continental team said will not let itself be beaten “Despite the circumstances we will take part in the Amstel Gold Race as currently we are working on bringing spare bikes to the Netherlands.” The spare bikes will be a mixture of the rider's training bikes and some bikes from the team warehouse which had not already been allocated to a rider.  "It happened on a guarded parking lot in front of our hotel in Valkenburg," directeur sportif Piotr Wadecki said in a press release on Friday afternoon. "All 18 bikes and spare wheels were stolen despite the fact that the truck was equipped with car alarm and the door was blocked by another team car We don't know how the burglars managed to go around the security system Currently we are working on bringing training bikes to the Netherlands One of Limburg’s most famous cycling representatives “This is gradually becoming an annual tradition around the Limburg races I am deeply ashamed as a Limburger ...” Orange team hopes to participate in 2015 Giro d'Italia in 2015 to be known as CCC Sprandi Polkowice The 36-year-old is leaving the Spanish Movistar Team and moving to Poland coming as an early Christmas present for Piotr Wadecki's ambitious outfit Szmyd reinforces Poland's only Pro Continental squad after 12 years of racing in Italy followed by a disappointing two-year stint with Eusebio Unzue's team "After spending so many years in the foreign teams putting on the jersey of the Polish squad is something special," Szmyd said "I have a lot of fire and motivation and I still enjoy cycling greatly It’s not time for me to end this great adventure." The perspective at the end of the season was not that clear – Szmyd raced only one Grand Tour in two seasons and over past months he made it clear that he was not feeling comfortable on Spanish team results or goal," – he wrote in a blog entry mid-October I've never raced like that in my entire career." While his performances in 2013 had been apparently influenced by mononucleosis in 2014 Szmyd failed to make the selection for any of three-week races or score any valuable result apart from a third place in Vuelta a Castilla y Leon "I don't really have good memories of this team I don't feel like making any further comments," he wrote with disappointment in November talking about possible retirement and passing an UCI exam to be a directeur sportif Szmyd started his professional career back in 2001 with Tacconi Sport-Vini Caldirola and continued racing mainly on Italian soil with Lampre and then Liquigas He has been praised as an excellent climber and experienced gregario throughout the years His palmares include a stage win at the Dauphine Libere (2009) as well third place in the Giro del Trentino (2012) and 14th place in the Vuelta a Espana (2006) "Many times I’ve been asked for how long I want to race Every time I would reply that my dream is to participate in a Grand Tour with a Polish team," Szmyd stressed This may be as close to that dream as he may get Receiving a wild card for a three-week race is the first goal set by CCC in its bid to compete in world's top races Following invitations to four WorldTour events and numerous important races in 2014 the team is now hoping to earn a wild card for the 2015 Giro d'Italia orange kits will compete at the corsa rosa for the first time since 2003 – when their leader Dariusz Baranowski finished 12th overall With the reform of professional road cycling looming on the horizon team owners are making long-term plans – looking for additional sponsors and restructuring the squad so that is set to apply for a WorldTour license between 2016 and 2018 "If CCC gets a chance to participate in one of the Grand Tours he [Szmyd] could be the leader of the team," said Piotr Wadecki Szmyd will be racing on a team consisting of youngsters and veterans 43-year-old Davide Rebellin is joined by his old Gerolsteiner teammate Stefan Schumacher Italian Cristian della Stella and seven young Polish riders – Piotr Brozyna The team's roster has not been officially closed yet but in 2015 Piotr Wadecki should command 25-26 riders Schumacher and Rebellin pillaring the project Welcome to www.automotivelogistics.media.

Read our policy By 2017-02-27T10:23:56+00:00 The Polish division of Japanese automotive parts maker has leased a 6,500 sq.m warehouse next to its production facility in Polkowice for the handling of air conditioning compressor units The warehouse was officially opened last week and Sanden Manufacturing Poland has leased it from property developer Panattoni Europe for an initial period of 12 years It is the supplier’s first logistics centre in Europe and will be known as Sanden Logistics Poland Shipments out of the facility are due to start at the beginning of March The company has not revealed whether the warehouse will be managed by Sanden or a third party logistics provider The Polkowice plant produces over 1.6m compressors a year to customers including Volkswagen The company said the Polish operation produces over 40% of compressors manufactured by Sanden Group in Europe (it also has a manufacturing facility in Tinténiac “Today we embark on a new stage in the history of Sanden Manufacturing Poland,” said the president of Sanden Manufacturing Poland our company will be concentrating all logistics processes at a single location to serve all European clients The new project will enable us to optimise and centralise operations to quickly respond to market needs I firmly believe that Sanden Logistics Poland will help us add even more value to our client relationships.” The warehouse is connected to the manufacturing plant by a tunnel through which parts will be transported to the warehouse the modern complex will enable Sanden to flexibly and efficiently manage the flow of goods for the largest car manufacturers,” said Panattoni Europe’s Marek Forynski which deals with ‘build-to-suit’ properties Site powered by Webvision Cloud Pole released by Saxo-Tinkoff at the end of the season The Pole arrives at the Pro Continental outfit after three years at Bjarne Riis’ team Marycz takes national title Rebellin joins CCC Polsat-Polkowice in 2013 Saxo-Tinkoff and Argos-Shimano fight for final position in WorldTour In a situation that has repeated itself at a number of teams vying for WorldTour status, Marycz found himself surplus to requirements at Saxo-Tinkoff after a season that yielded him no UCI points Marycz did not learn his fate until after bringing the curtain down on his campaign at the Japan Cup in mid-October and he endured a late scramble to find a team for 2013 “I must admit that the last few weeks have been very difficult for me,” Marycz said, according to his new team's website I hoped that my contract with Saxo Bank would be renewed for the coming season When they told me that I was no longer part of the team it was too late to find a place on another WorldTour team.” While Marycz was unable to whet the appetite of a team at elite level at that late juncture the former Polish time trial champion did find an eager suitor in his home country “When Saxo Bank had no place for Jarek we called him immediately and offered him a spot on our team,” said CCC Polsat Polkowice directeur sportif Piotr Wadecki an experienced rider who has spent the past few seasons in one of the top teams and competed in big international races The signing of Marycz brings the curtain down on CCC Polsat’s transfer campaign. Last month, the team confirmed the signing of 41-year-old Davide Rebellin who has ridden for Continental teams since returning from a two-year suspension for a positive test for CERA at the 2008 Beijing Olympics Bulgarian moves across from CCC Sprandi Polkowice Mihaylov prevails in Castleisland Javier Moreno signs for Delko Marseille Provence KTM The 29-year-old was an amateur at the Martigues Sport Cyclisme and AVC Aix-en-Provence clubs before singing with CCC Sprandi Polkowice in 2012 After six seasons with the Polish team which saw Mihaylov win five national Bulgarian titles and the 2016 Sibiu Cycling Tour he will become the 17th rider on Delko Marseille Provence KTM's books from 2018 I would like to thank the team for the confidence it places in me," Mihaylov said in a press release "I am very excited to ride in the colors of Team Delko Marseille Provence KTM This is a very special move for me because I lived for six years as a rider in this beautiful region of Provence it is constantly growing every year and I want to contribute so that it grows even faster my dream is realized and I am very determined." Mihaylov adds Grand Tour experience to the team having ridden the 2015 Giro d'Italia and also rode Milano-San Remo and Tour of Flanders in 2016 Mihaylov is also likely to bolster the sprint train for Delko Marseille Provence KTM Mihaylov also links up with former sports director and compatriot Hristo Zaikov The team has previously announced that Brenton Jones (JLT Condor) Jérémy Leveau (Roubaix Lille Métropole) and Przemyslaw Kasperkiewicz (An Post-Chain Reaction) will join the team from 2018.  CCC Polkowice riders wrapped up pre-season training in Spain Szafraniec solos to Polish road race win Video: Former world champion Wloszczowska settles for silver Wloszczowska a level above in Roc d'Azur Wloszczowska wins at home in Poland Wloszczowska spent two weeks at the centre for Olympic preparations C.A.R (Centro de Alto Rendimiento) in Sierra Nevada while her teammate Szafraniec chose a lower altitude venue in Benidorm "Here you can feel the atmosphere of hard work strong motivation and the hope for good results during the season," said 2010 cross country world champion Wloszczowska of the C.A.R "The centre offers everything a rider needs for training and recuperation," "There's no room and time for entertainment As usual I had brought here books to read and learn as well as films for moments of relaxation Wloszczowska won silver in Beijing at the Olympic Games and hopes for another strong performance at the London Olympics She was second last year at the world championship not helped by a flat tire that cost her some valuable time facilities include an Olympic-size swimming pool There are places for recuperation - giant freezing rooms for cooling down muscles after trainings Daily medical monitoring was part her camp as the facility is at altitude - 2300m the Polish rider was surrounded by athletes from different sports from a variety of nations "I especially liked the atmosphere at the gym where everybody was performing their training tasks with concentration Everybody knew what they are supposed to do and did it with maximal commitment Its effects will - I hope - serve me during the whole season." Teammate Anna Szafraniec was also training in Spain but not in the Sierra Nevada mountains with Wloszczowska Instead she was with the road cycling riders from Polkowice in Benidorm in Spain "I don't feel that well in the mountains," she said noting that altitude training has historically raised her pulse and blood pressure and causes nosebleeds and sleeping disturbances for me to do the hard work I can do down here." Her own training approach seemed to suit her well during the training camp I would not feel it even if I were to stay here for a month." Szafraniec has mostly been on her road bike so she could use her power meter to guide her efforts Szafraniec is hoping to go to the Olympic Games in August along with Wloszczowska "I think that the two best riders should go to London and who that is going to be will turn out at the end of May there are many races you can show your skills I think that the conditions of the qualifiers are cleverly arranged which I cannot say about the qualifiers before the Beijing event." She did not get to go to the Beijing Olympics When asked about her thoughts on the eve of the South African World Cup opener "I always feel nervous before the first races of the season CA Immo exits
