No matter how Ural-Great performs (currently occupying only 11th place), historically, on the banks of the Kama there is always excitement around games with the army team. There was no fight in Saturday's meeting. Already by the big break, the guests were leading by 15 points. The red-blues' sixth foreign player, who was not included in the squad for the game, this time turned out to be Belgian center Thomas van den Spiegel. His colleague in the role, David Andersen, became the winners' highest scorer - 17 points.
“Spartak-Primorye” upset our fourth participant in the European Cup on their site, and each time the Far Easterners do it with a slight advantage. Earlier, the Primorye team won against the capital's Dynamo (70:69), Khimki (79:78) and UNICS (84:79). In the first quarter of the match with the “blue and white” from the Moscow region, the hosts allowed the opponent to score only 6 points.
The Milan-San Remo race celebrated its centenary
Spanish cyclist Oscar Freire won the first of four spring classic one-day races of the highest category. He was the first to complete the distance at the longest race Milan-San Remo, 294 kilometers long, included in the Pro Tour calendar.
The three-time world champion from the Dutch Rabobank had to compete at the finish line with such recognized sprinters as the Italian Alessandro Petacchi and the German Erik Zabel, who were accelerated by several of their Milram teammates. As a result, they were left with nothing. Australian Alan Davis (Discovery Channel) took second place, Belgian Tom Boonen crossed the line third. The race, which celebrated its 100th anniversary, was actively carried out by cyclists from the Italian-Russian Tinkoff team. For a long time our Pavel Brutt was in the breakaway group.
There are three more spring one-day Pro Tour events ahead, in which 50 points are awarded for winning. In two weeks the Tour of Flanders, famous for its series of 17 hill climbs, will take place in Belgium, the legendary Paris-Roubaix will pass on April 15 along a cobblestone country road, and the Liege-Bastogne-Liege race is planned for the end of the month.
