Anmeldelse i Weekendavisen den 6. juli 2012.

På hjul. Anekdoter og snik snak i vellykket reportagebog fra en enkelt sæson i cykelsporten.

Tour de Brian

Markedet har kendt genren siden farfar var dreng: Sportsstjernens historie i bogform, fortalt til og nedskrevet af en journalist. I de senere år er denne type bøger væltet frem, og kvinderne har været lykkelige for at kunne købe dem til deres mænd, som ellers ikke gider læse.

Genrens kommercielle gennembrud kom for alvor i 2005 med Stig Tøftings (og Lars Steen Pedersens) No regrets og senere David Nielsens (og Jonas Ankersens) Sorte svin. De afslørede barske detaljer fra både karrieren og privatlivet, og de ikke var skrevet for skønånder, men som en slags autoriseret sladder- og skandalejournalistisk for mænd og drenge.

En sjælden gang bliver disse konceptbøger også taget alvorligt som litteratur, de to bedste eksempler er udenlandske: J.R. Moehringers berømmede bog sammen med tennislegenden André Aggassis, Open, og David Lagercrantz og Zlatan Ibrahimovics mega-bestseller Jeg er Zlatan.

I begge tilfælde er der tale om ekstremt interessante personhistorier, der bekræfter alt hvad markedet har erfaret om sportsbiografier: de skal være kontroversielle. Hvis bare de er ordentlige, skaber de ingen interesse, jeg ved det, for jeg har selv engang bidraget til genren som hyret hånd med en bog, hvor hovedpersonen slet og ret var for pæn og sympatisk.

Nu kommer så Brian Holms Sportsdirektøren (i samarbejde med Tonny Vorm). Den professionelle cykelsport har naturligvis alt det drama, der skal til, og hvis personhistorien er stærk nok, er potentialet på markedet også enormt, hvilket man så med Lars Steen Pedersens biografi om svindleren, løgneren og – underligt nok – folkehelten Bjarne Riis.

Sportsdirektøren giver ikke et retrospektivt totalbillede, men et snapshot fra en enkelt sæson (2011) i cykelsporten. Brian Holm har tidligere fortalt om sit dopingmisbrug i 90’erne, og derfor må vi denne gang nøjes med små røverhistorier og anekdotiske afsløringer fra det internationale cykelcirkus. Det er ikke vanvittigt kontroversielt, men alligevel særdeles underholdende:

I et løb i Californien skulle en af Brian Holms unge ny-professionelle ryttere på podiet for at have vundet bjergtrøjen. Desværre var han allerede kørt med ledsagervogn hjem til mad og massage på hotellet, så Brian sendte bare en anden neo-pro rytter, en ung tjekke, op til præmieoverrækkelsen, ingen kunne alligevel kende forskel på de unge, tænkte ham. Men så ville guvenør Arnold Schwartzennegger gerne hilse på bjergrytteren, fordi de begge kom fra Østrig! Så luskede sportsdirektøren af, temmelig kujonagtigt, og bagefter indkasserede han en skideballe fra løbsarrangøren. Da han spørger den unge tjekke, hvordan han havde klaret sig ud af kattepinen, fviser det sig, at rytteren ikke rigtig vidste hvem ham Schwartzennegger var…

Brian Holm er et interessant bekendtskab, der reflekterer udmærket over den kyniske og kaotiske industri, som han til tider har svært ved at holde ud, men som han heller ikke kan leve uden. Hans makker, Tonny Vorm, har en solid indsigt i cykelsporten, og han skriver med den erfarne reportagejournalists sikre håndelag (uden at forsøge noget nyt med genrens stil).

Hvis man følger den professionelle cykelkaravanes sommertogt, er denne Tour de Brian om en sæson i sportsdirektørens arbejdsliv ganske vellykket læsning før, under og efter endnu en bjergetape med Sofaholdet. Ingen store afsløringer, men en fin lynvisit med snik snak bag facaden.

  4. Weitere Parkmöglichkeiten und aktuelle Informationen zur Verfügbarkeit finden man unter Beide bieten ausreichend Stellplätze und eine bequeme Anbindung zur Spielbank.
    Aus Cuxhaven oder Bremerhaven, über die A27 und die Ausfahrt Bremen-Überseestadt, weiter zur B6 Richtung
    Centrum. Bremen ist nicht nur der Name der Hansestadt, sondern auch der Name
    des Bundeslandes, den die Stadt gemeinsam mit Bremerhaven bildet.
    Regelmäßig finden Texas Holdem Turniere und Omaha
    Poker Turniere statt.
    Hier findet man eine große Auswahl an Tischspiel-Klassikern und Automatenspielen, die einem das Adrenalin in die Höhe treiben können. Ähnlich wie die Stadtmusikanten aus der Geschichte zieht es aber auch viele Freunde
    des Glücksspiels in die Innenstadt Bremens. Entlarven Sie bei dem Klassiker der Kartenspiele die Strategien Ihrer Mitspieler.

    Dazu ist die Registrierung mit Identitätsnachweis bei einem Online Glücksspiel Anbieter erforderlich.
    Das Spielangebot im Online Casino fällt aber weitaus
    größer aus mit viel mehr Spielen und einer bunten Vielfalt.
    Casinospiele können zu problematischem Spielverhalten führen und
    süchtig machen.

  6. Für Spieler, die regelmäßig zocken und dabei vorzugsweise hohe Beträge einsetzen, sind sogenannte Cashbacks die wertvollsten Bonusangebote.

    Freispiele gehören zu den beliebtesten und gängigsten Promotionen,
    die euch nicht nur in neuen Online Casinos zur Verfügung gestellt werden. In der Regel spendieren euch die Anbieter ein geringes Gratisguthaben zwischen fünf und zehn Euro oder eine Handvoll Freispiele.

    Allerdings müsst ihr euch darüber im Klaren sein, dass die Bonusbeträge
    dabei niemals so üppig ausfallen werden, wie bei
    klassischen Einzahlungsboni. So wird euer
    Willkommensbonus noch abwechslungsreicher und bringt extra Spannung!
    Die neuen Online Casino verfügen über lukrative Boni, den neuesten Spielen und innovativen Features.

    Das ist genau der Moment, in dem Sie einige wirklich tolle
    Angebote finden können. Alles in allem bedeutet das,
    dass die Gesamtauswahl an Boni mit der Zeit immer besser wird,
    mit größeren und lohnenderen Angeboten. Dadurch ist jedes einzelne bestrebt,

    gemacht, dass neue Mitglieder immer etwas mehr bekommen, indem
    sie Zugang zu den besten Bonusangeboten erhalten. Natürlich ist ein neues Casino immer herzlich
    willkommen, aber wir wollen sicherstellen, dass die Casino-Erfahrung hinter den virtuellen Türen den Standards unserer Spieler-Community entspricht.

    Zu den beliebten Live Casino Games gehören klassische Tischspiele
    und auch Game Shows sowie interessante Live Slots. Da neue
    Online Casinos online nur eines im Sinn haben, nämlich schnell
    neue Spieler anzuwerben, sind entsprechend auch die Bonus Aktionen stark.
    Als eines der neuesten Online Casino bietet CoinCasino sehr schnelle und sichere Zahlungen, wobei
    du aus 22 Kryptowährungen wählen kannst. Du kannst bei GoldSpin dank

  8. Brisbane also has over 27 km (17 mi) of bicycle pathways, mostly
    surrounding the Brisbane River and city centre. Tourism
    plays a major role in Brisbane’s economy, being the third-most popular destination for international tourists
    after Sydney and Melbourne. The city is also home
    to numerous golf courses, with the largest being the Indooroopilly Golf Club at Indooroopilly, Queensland, the Brookwater Golf and Country Club at Brookwater, Nudgee Golf Club at
    Nudgee, the Keperra Country Golf Club at Keperra, and the Royal Queensland Golf Club at Eagle Farm.

    Originally built in the 1930s, the historic wharves have been revitalised into one
    of Brisbane’s newest entertainment destinations. It’s a palm-fringed inner-city swimming beach (the only one in Australia) along a lagoon with a picnic area, bang in the middle of
    South Bank Parklands. There are five and ten-kilometre races, and sprinting across the bridge with the masses is
    an exhilarating feeling.

  9. Licensing authorities play a crucial role in shaping how gaming entities adjust their practices to adhere to stringent
    gaming regulations. Ian Zerafa has been reviewing
    gambling sites for years, originally starting out in the US market.
    For more information about these, check out our section about social
    casinos versus regular casinos. For more details check out our section about Australia online gambling laws.
    There are many other sites to choose from, but not all offer the same high standard of security and quality.

    All our recommended casinos are 100% legal and safe for Australians.

    That’s as strong a hook as you could ask for, and with the very reasonable rollover, even casual players should have no problem grinding out their
    wins. Newbies can get up to A$5,000 in bonus cash and 50 spins on the Fortune Wheel,
    which can pay out a variety of bonuses — including up to A$1,000,000.

    The first bonus is a 100% match up to A$500, and
    is followed by nine 50% match bonuses. The live dealer offerings are also pretty solid, though,
    because of some strange filter issues, they pop up in all sorts of random
    categories in addition to their own. It’s not the largest
    library of games on our list, but Casinonic manages to pack a punch where it counts.
    When it comes to payouts, Skycrown leaves even the best casino sites behind.

    Popiplay specializes in premium slot titles that are designed with a mobile-first
    approach, catering to both casual players and streaming audiences.

    One of the world’s most well-known card games, Australians are no
    strangers to the game of blackjack. With the right site,
    Australians can enjoy any casino game they want.
    Most winnings from land-based and online gambling in Australia are not taxed because they are considered
    entertainment, not income.

  10. The game selection is great at SkyCrown Casino,
    offering a broad array of over 1,000 online games. Simply open the casino in your
    browser and enjoy them in instant-play mode. The games feature sharp graphics and fun features, and they’re designed in a way that ensures completely fair game-play.

    I would like to warn you, that if your deposit has never been credited to your casino account,
    the only thing you can do is to contact your payment provider.
    The casino stated that the funds were eventually credited to
    the player’s balance. You can contact the pleasant and helpful team at any time for friendly and
    professional customer support. SkyCrown Casino has excellent customer service with a number of options for
    players to obtain information and get solutions to their issues.

    rewards program that offers a wealth of benefits and perks.

    players with tools and resources to manage their gaming habits.

    secure and convenient payment options to manage their gaming funds effectively.

  11. Besides a user-friendly interface that facilitates navigation and access to the desired
    content, we also appreciate operators optimising their
    casino platform for mobile play. Filters that
    let players narrow down search results are always a
    big plus. Therefore, we test the interface to check if the games are sorted
    into proper categories. If they are not well-organised, it can be difficult for players to find what they are looking
    for. We check player feedback on various sites and use it
    to complete our impressions. Online casinos are inarguably
    better than land-based ones in terms of payout percentage, especially when it comes to pokie machines.

    And if you miss interaction, turn to the live
    dealer tables at . The A$750 bonus plus 200 free spins is easy to unlock, and crypto banking
    makes it a breeze to reload between sessions. The A$5,
    000 bonus and 50 spins on the Fortune Wheel keep the stakes high from
    the jump. Trusted sites like Neospin, Skycrown, and Kingmaker
    are fully regulated and ranked for safety and transparency.

    Once you create an account at Hard Rock Bet online casino and deposit $10 or more, you will be credited with 200 bonus spins on the slot Huff n’ More Puff.

    Banking at Fanatics Casino is smooth and modern, making it
    one of the best of the brand new online casinos for fast
    payouts. Below, you’ll find a detailed breakdown of
    how these new online casinos stack up and what to expect when you sign up.
    We created this expert guide of the newest online casinos to
    help you compare what’s available in your state. At Gambtopia.com, you’ll find a comprehensive overview of everything worth knowing about online casinos.
    Aussie casinos often offer welcome bonuses, free spins, loyalty rewards, and weekly or seasonal
    promos.

  12. One of the casino’s highlights is its player rewards system.
    I had a small budget for this review, but most games are budget-friendly, with bets starting as low as A$1 or even less for some versions.
    Card game enthusiasts will also feel at home here,
    with hundreds of versions of roulette, blackjack,
    and baccarat in RNG and live formats. I counted more than 6,500 games with various payout engines, features, and themes.
    I’d like to start with Spinando’s all-around game
    portfolio, especially the pokies.
    Live dealer table games are also available, which
    I prefer because they’re more competitive. I tend to mix up game types based on volatility
    – I’m a fan of high volatility pokies, with their paylines,
    themes, and features. This includes a wide range of games from
    top software providers like Pragmatic Play, Betsoft, Playson, BGaming, and Yggdrasil, among others.
    It really makes a difference in creating a smooth and trustworthy gaming experience.
    I test every possible aspect, and I expect nothing less than full coverage of the entire lobby, all the bonuses, every payment
    method, and every feature to be available on mobile.

    You might wonder what gives us the credibility to rank these online casinos and include them on our lists in the first
    place. Welcome to AU Casinos, your spot for finding the
    absolute best online casinos in all of Australia! Most US
    states don’t have licensed and legal online casinos.
    Also, some online casinos have their own poker rooms
    and sportsbooks. Whether you prefer slots, table games, video poker, or specialty games, all of
    them are available for real money play. Web wallets like Neteller and Skrill are
    available, though PayPal isn’t accepted at US online casinos.

  13. Is there a limit to the number of points that can be earned through live chat messages and paid engagement (i.e., Super Chat, Super Stickers, and gifts)?
    The leaderboard creates a fun, interactive, and rewarding environment for viewers that encourages ongoing engagement with their favorite creators.

    For employees, Microsoft also operates a commuter
    bus service called “The Connector” that provides non-stop service to neighborhoods in Seattle, the Eastside, and Snohomish
    County from the Redmond campus. The city of Redmond had also approved a rezone
    in February 2015 to raise the height limit for buildings on the campus from 6
    stories to 10.
    Microsoft partnered with Sound Transit and the City of Redmond to fund a
    pedestrian bridge connecting the light rail station to
    both sides of its campus to open in 2020, providing $33.3 million of the cost.
    The transit center opened in 2002 and will be the eastern terminus of the East Link light rail extension, scheduled to open in 2023.
    The campus is located on both sides of the State Route 520 freeway, which connects it to the cities of Bellevue and Seattle as well
    as the Redmond city center. In January 2006, Microsoft announced
    the purchase of Safeco’s Redmond campus after the company had begun consolidating its
    offices at the Safeco Tower in Seattle’s University District a year earlier.
    Microsoft initially moved onto the grounds of the campus on February 26, 1986, weeks before the company went public on March 13.
    By adding native and adaptive vegetation, using rainwater capture
    for toilet flushing, and installing efficient fixtures and irrigation, the campus is projected to save more than 20 million gallons of
    water each year.
    Since Microsoft established its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, in 1986, the
    company’s campus has grown from four buildings
    to more than 100. Architectural portals connect the campus to the garage below, allowing employees and visitors quick access
    and creating a pedestrian focus on campus. Microsoft’s East Campus features buildings of 4-5 stories,
    located around a central plaza that serves as the heart of campus.
    The leaderboard is visible during the live stream while
    it is active.
