Ottant'anni fa la foto scattata a Times Square da Alfred Eisenstaedt alla fine della guerra Storia, non senza colpi di scena, di un'icona MICHELE SMARGIASSI La Repubblica  Lunedì 30 Giugno 2025  Pagina 32 Spiace per Humphrey Bogart e Ingrid Bergman, ma un bacio non è mai solo un bacio. Soprattutto se ambisce a diventare il bacio per antonomasia, l'icona del baciare, l'epitome della bacità. Gara non semplice, da Hayez in poi. Compirà fra poco ottant'anni uno dei pretendenti più accreditati al trono; il VJ-Day Kiss di Alfred Eisenstaedt , il bacio appassionato fra il marinaretto e la crocerossina, sorpreso in mezzo a una Times Square in festa d...

HIGH STANDARDS Under Popovich, the Spurs could be creative,  versatile  and even unpredictable on offense,  but a commitment to tough D was nonnegotiable. When he became the Spurs’ coach three decades ago, no one imagined would be one of the NBA’s defining figures. As he steps away, raise a glass—a nice Château d’Yquem, ideally—to a man whose impact goes far beyond wins and rings by Jack McCallum photograph by Greg Nelson Sports Illustrated - July 2025 THE NBA was in a transitional state when Gregg Popovich was named general manager of the San Antonio Spurs before the 1994–95 season, a transaction that was big news only in Alamo City. The holy triumvirate upon which the NBA had built its brand over the past decade was gone: Michael Jordan to minor league baseball, Larry Bird to the Celtics’ front office, Magic Johnson to a kind of purgatory owing to his HIV-positive condition. With those exits (Jordan returned for five complete seasons, as we all know, and Magic had a...

VSQUARED TV - Gary Imlach, who has brought the UK Tour  coverage for 35 years, presents on the Champs-Élysées in 1995 ‘It’s a threeweek drama delivered in daily episodes. Anybody can enjoy it’ 27 Jun 2025 - The Guardian Luke McLaughlin When the last rider rolls across the Tour de France finish line in Paris on 27 July it will mark more than the end of the world’s most prestigious bike race. Once Gary Imlach and team have wrapped up, it will conclude four decades of free-to-air Tour coverage for British TV viewers. While the sport, and the technology used to broadcast it, have transformed since the 1980s, the excellence of the ITV programme (previously on Channel 4) has been constant. Just as British and Irish interest in the race has cycled through eras – from Sean Kelly to David Millar , to Chris Boardman and later Mark Cavendish , to Team Sky of Wiggins, Froome and Thomas – the on-air cast has naturally evolved. Nick Owen and Richard Keys first presented the highlights: Owen i...

L’Italien est depuis dix ans le patron d’une équipe ambitieuse, devenue Lidl-Trek avant le Tour. Atteint d’un lymphome, celui qui n’a pas de carrière pro derrière lui gère à distance et avec humilité ses coureurs. “On a commencé avec des grands champions comme les frères Schleck, Fabian Cancellara…  Mais ces trois dernières années, on a fait des investissements sur les jeunes.  Et avec eux, c’est plus facile de courir de façon très agressive" 6 Jul 2023 - L'Équipe DE NOTRE ENVOYÉ SPÉCIAL ANTHONY CLÉMENT LARUNS (PYRÉNÉES-ATLANTIQUES) – Luca Guercilena n’était pas à Laruns, hier, pour féliciter Giulio Ciccone après sa deuxième place. Le manager italien de Lidl-Trek (49 ans) doit travailler à la maison car il est fragilisé par un lymphome (cancer des gang lions lymphatiques), qui l’ avait forcé à quitter son poste en août 2021. Il l’a retrouvé en 2022, avec la même ambition de faire grandir le groupe qu’il dirige depuis 2013. Ancien coureur amateur entré dans le monde pro comme e...

Luca spends over 250 days on the road managing the Trek-Segafredo team. Read along to find out how Luca balances his family and home life with his stressful job of running one of the largest cycling teams in the world. Luca Guercilena prefers skylines to landscapes, the ­racketing of cities to the peacefulness of the countryside. He’s the type who always has the television on when in a hotel room – to wash away the muteness of the space. In noise Luca finds placidity. The Guercilenas live in Cassinetta di Lugagnano in the western outskirts of Milan . It’s a great place to raise children, but not so much for a born-and-raised city boy like Luca. “I couldn’t fall asleep when we moved here ,” he says with a gr...
