THE INDEFATIGABLE IGI MAXIMO

Click to enlarge

Published in Sun Star Newspaper on August 15, 2011 Monday issue


"I'd like to reach for the Olympic gold and bring honor to the Philippines," such a lofty and noble words coming from a sixteen year old!  Luis Miguel "Igi" Maximo, a fourth year high school student at the PAREF Springdale School is avidly pursuing a career in cycling.

He might achieve his goal yet!  His Dad is behind him plotting out dates and he knows this is a long term process.  Since no Olympic gold has ever been won for the Philippines yet, this might bring the greatest honor.  "I dream of winning the Philippines' first gold medal.  I would bring international pride for the Filipino." he said.

"Yet the emphasis is on being a student athlete without dropping out of school.  School is still the most important." Igi stresses.  So despite his many sports activities, Igi remains among the top of his class and is even vying for top honors.

So he deligently juggles his time between school and sports, aiming for excellence.  To keep him going, he drinks Summit Natural Drinking Water to stay hydrated for maximum performance in handling the pressure.

Springdale seems to be a supportive venue for Igi and his dual passions since the school encourages its students to become active in sports.  The school has expanded to eight sports this year, including taekwondo, golf, scrabble, chess, badminton and table tennis, aside from cycling and soccer.

To Cyclist and student Igi Maximo however, cycling comes a bit deeper.  He is three-time Junior 15-U Champion 2010 Phil Premiere Cycling League, 2011 Junior Cycling Awardee - Sportswriters Association of Cebu (SAC), and seven-time Athlete of the Year - Paref Springdale School.

His latest achievement is placing sixth in the 2010 Redlands Bicycle Classic in California and joining the L.A. Circuit, U.S.A.  Now he is aiming for the Asian Junior Championships in Kuala Lumpur.

Igi extends his passion to a higher level, to a form of vision for Philippine Sports.  "Cycling is not yet popular here.  Not many juniors are into it, so I hope to promote the sport," he said.  "I wish to see the day when a lot of boys my age pursue the sport and get to live it as much as I do."

TAYLOR PHINNEY


Published in The Freeman Newspaper on August 15, 2011 Monday issue
by Jose Vicente Araneta, Columnist - Allez
Manny Villaruel, Sports Editor


...The most common question to be asked about Taylor is this: will he win the Tour de France in the future? At this point, it’s unlikely. At 6”4’, 180lbs, Taylor is a relative giant. Cycling is a POWER-TO-WEIGHT ratio sport and the bigger you are, the more difficult it is to climb the mountains. There’s not a lot of Tour winners near Taylor’s size but the nearest would be Jan Ullrich, Miguel Indurain and Bjarne Riis who stood just a shade over 6 feet.If there is a race that would fit Phinney, it’s the time trials and the sprints. Paris-Roubaixis also a perfect fit.

But if he were to scale the mountains like Alberto Contador, it would take a few more years to develop and adapt his body. Armstrong wasn’t a climber when he started racing. He only became a contender when he lost a lot of muscle mass after he got cancer. If Taylor is patient, I’d say he has a good chance to win the Tour one day. Unlike most Americans who raced in Europe, Taylor has an excellent support group. He is levelheaded and his parents are always behind him. BMC’s manager, Jim Ochowicz, is also the same guy who managed the career of Davis with 7-11.

RACE NOTES: The inaugural Tour of Bohol will be on September 24 and 25 this year…Thanks to AndorSabal for spearheading the weekly Cebu Cycling Crit series…thanks also to Eve and Diego… Hasta la vista, Igimax!!! - THE FREEMAN

WHAT TIGER'S FATHER DIDN'T TEACH HIS SON


Published in Sun Star Cebu Newspaper on Aug. 14, 2011 Sunday issue
by Al S. Mendoza, Columnist - All Write
Mike Limpag, Sports Editor


IT didn’t happen. When it used to, this time, there was none of it: Miracles that kept happening so that you’d be justified if you say the dude had made a pact with the devil.

Still, when Tiger Woods got cut yesterday in the PGA Championship, it seemed like everybody had expected it.

Struggling to survive after opening up with a 7-over-par 77, he shot 73 and missed the cut for only the third time in a major in 15 years.

The cut was four-over and, by golly, he was 10-over.

Is this really the Tiger Woods we once knew, who won 14 majors, 16 world titles and 72 victories overall since turning pro in 1996?

Missing the PGA cut left the Masters as the only major where Tiger Woods hasn’t been left out for weekend play.

But everybody knows the reason: Tiger Woods has lost his mind ever since he got caught engaging in extramarital affairs on Nov. 23, 2009.

You lose your mind in golf, you are a goner, for the game is virtually all mental.

When Tiger Woods was winning those majors, everybody said he’d easily break the 18 majors won by Jack Nicklaus. Even Nicklaus believed.

But when we see a phenom, a genius, we tend to forget the intangibles, the X-factors.

The soldier-father of Tiger Woods taught everything to Tiger: golf, intimidation, discipline, mind game.

But there was one crucial thing he forgot to teach his son: Commitment to the one you love.

His womanizing unearthed, Tiger Woods lost his wife, not to mention $100-million in divorce settlement.

If someone’s crying a river yet again over this latest blow on Tiger’s terrible terrain now, it could only be Tida, his Thai mother.

Our mothers have always been our last refuge—in our youth or middle age, and even in our old age.

No doubt Tida has forgiven her son —as we all did, I believe—for his indiscretion. Everybody deserves a second chance, after all.

So, until Tiger Woods regains his bearings, let’s hear it from Tiger himself after he got cut: “Now I’ll have nothing to do but work on my game.”

I disagree. More of the mind than of the game that he should work on.

Or was his Dad remiss on that, too?

What makes the sport of Cycling so spectacular is that it will bring you to places such as historical and tourist spots you could not have thought of visiting in the first place.  Thats what you call Cyclo-Tourism.  Lets do this for Cebu soon!

Rommel (right) and Igimax (center) start to inch their way up front.  BigMig (left) on the other hand, is just being consistent with his monicker "if you cannot perform, form" :)


Igimax taking his turn to lead the peloton

But cant help take a quick glance on a popular tourist attraction on his left...

...the Loboc River Cruise with its floaring restaurants!  To know more about this tourist attraction, click here.

The race was well coordinated with the local government.  Shown here are the Loboc police taking over the traffic control as the cyclists passed the town.  Thank you Loboc PNP!

Another famous tourist spot the cyclists passed by is the Loboc Church.  It was originally built in 1602, but soon reduced to ashes.  Learn more about it here 

How we wish we can stop and explore these famous tourist attractions.  Well, you can't have them both, its either pure racing or a picnic ride.

IGIMAX OFF TO SPAIN FOR WYD AND TO WATCH VUELTA

Manny Villaruel, Sports Editor


CEBU, Philippines - Cebu’s most popular junior cyclist today, Luis Miguel “Igimax” Maximo goes to Spain for a much needed reflection whether to pursue cycling as a career or focus on studies alone instead.

The 16-year-old senior student of Paref-Springdale School, Igimax left Cebu yesterday as one of the delegates from the Philippines for this year’s World Youth Day in Madrid, Spain. The delegation is organized by the Sugbu Study Center.

Through the WYD, Igimax gets to strengthen his faith as a Christian and as well as learn more on his purpose in life with no less than Pope Benedict XVI with them.

After the week-long WYD, it will be Igimax’s time for cycling as he witness the tour of Madrid or Vuelta a España live among other cycling-related activities.

There, Igimax hopes to feel what professional and junior cycling is all about in Spain and Europe as a whole as well as the demands, sacrifices, rewards and even frustrations of the sport.

Igimax also wants to check on the latest training program and cycling equipment and gear not to mention get the chance to be with some of the world’s top pedal-pushers.

“I want to observe their level of cycling and compare this from what I learned so far in my country. If given the chance, I will share this with my fellow Cebuanos, especially to the kids,” said Igimax before leaving for Spain.

No Pinoy or Cebuano in particular have been able to showcase its wares in any of the three grand tours in Europe—Tour de France, Giro de Italia and Vuelta a España nor has one ever climbed a podium in a World Junior Cycling Championships as well as no Pinoy cyclist has won an Olympic medal yet.

Whatever he “discovers”, Igimax hopes to get an answer whether to continue cycling in college or simply focus on studies soon.

If time permits, Igimax also hopes to experience Spanish football, his other sport by watching scrimmages of Barcelona FC and Real Madrid or even just to visit their stadiums. — THE FREEMAN
