hey guillaume:
just a question and no troubloemaking or anything intended,maybe you just delete what i wrote and answer me privately...
using pictures of any kind of athlete for any kind of event without asking the person in question is either unprofessional or a violation of personal rights.
just imagine the skater would be a total asshole and sue you for using his/her image without any kind of acknowledgement.
this is not smart-ass message,not at all.
but a reminder that,when you do something on that scale,you should make sure all the legagl issues are covered.
i know these things happened often in the past,i just saw the poster and i think it's a good promotion for the sport anyway.just see this as a friendly reminder and maybe next time you just ask the people for authorization and you are on the safe side.
i would applaud if just guillaume replies to me on this issue and its not fit for stirring the pot or anything likewise.
thanks
donald

Giant slalom will take place like in 2010 at Saint-Martin le Vinoux, few minuts by car from the city center.
It will start on Friday at noon.
The road is long approx 700m and really fast (approx 11% pitch). Last year was maybe one of the fastest GS we did ever see in Europe. Good level and footbreaking are required.
Security will be increase this year with downhill equipments : strawbales will be setted dangerous points of the race. An easier race will be set up for juniors (and maybe women).
Tight and special slalom:
Tight and special slalom will take place on Saturday and Sunday, as usual, in the “Olympic Speed Ring”, in the heart of Grenoble.
Training will start around 9h30 and competition will start at 11. A large audience will be there to watch for the show, especially for the finals.
Finals will end by 17h. Organizers get the spot for all WE and goton s
The spot is flat, approx. 150 meters long. Surface is near perfect, grippy and fast. In 2010, Janis Kuzminz broke the 50 cones world record on this spot.

I just had Philippe on phone.
Organization is doing good things : there will be a big outside concert near the stadium. 10000 persons are expected and national TVs will be there (because there's something "unique" with this concert).
It will for sure get some more audience and media coverage for the slalom.
He do have full support from grenoble city : there will be 4m*3m posters all around the city and the event will be announce in the city magazine wich will be distributed for free in each Grenoble mailboxes.
As we are Euro Champ' this year, slalom event will move back in front of the scene, just in front of the audience/bleachers.
He expect us to make a great show!
Expect the 2011 website and registration early May.
More infos on fees to come.

I am glad to announce that the status marshals decided to grant Major status to Grenoble : the Désaxé Worldride #5 will host the European Championships 2011.
It's a real pride for Philippe and his organisation crew : everything is already on for a great event, but this decision give them motivation to work even harder and make of this week-end an highlight of the racing season.
Website and more news will come soon.

[2011] Grenoble World Ride, July 1-2-3 [Major]
Philippe Galindo has requested me to to this pre-announcement for Grenoble 2011.
The giant slalom will be held on the same location as 2010. The city wants us back and they have already approved the use of the same road. We'll just need to set a slightly easier (read slower) course for juniors and women. For the higher ranked racers this will be one of the best GS in 2011!
Tight and special will be held at the stadium as in previous years. Probably there will be a complimentary World Record run as well.
The date has now been confirmed as July 1-2-3. (Updated Nov 15, 2010)
It is Philippes desire to make this the European Championships 2011, if so, then it'll automatically get assigned World Cup/Major status. If it's not assigned the title they will still ask for the equivalent of the Main status.
