La tour de Gourze

Gourze tower.

The current construction was originally a tower which may have connections with those of the Romanesque era.The first written records go back to 1279. It was dismantled in the early 14th century by Louis II, Baron of Vaud, during the confrontations with Pierre d’Oron, Bishop of Lausanne. At the time the tower must have been 15 or 16 meters high. It was rebuilt at the end of the 14th century by Jean de Canturion, Bishop Guillaume de Menthonay’s Master of the Mint. It was sold to the parish of Villette in 1530 and restored in 1895 and 1909.

It has belonged to the State of Vaud since 1910.

Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar wins Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal

Ottawa's michael woods top canadian in finishing 8th.

A cyclist celebrates on his bike.

Social Sharing

Tadej Pogacar was so dominant on Sunday, Canada's Michael Woods called it a race for second.

Pogacar, a three-time Tour de France champion from Slovenia, pedalled to a resounding victory at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal.

The UAE Team Emirates leader crossed the finish line 24 seconds ahead of Spain's Pello Bilbao of Bahrain-Victorious to win the demanding 209.1-kilometre race on a sunny, 28 C day in Montreal. France's Julian Alaphilippe of Soudal Quick-Step was third.

"He's the greatest rider of all time, he's a formidable opponent," said Woods, who finished 45 seconds behind the leader in eighth. "If you're not at your very, very best, then you can forget racing with him, and today was kind of representative of that.

"He's at such a different level that if you follow him, it can be lights out."

Pogacar slowed down before the last turn to celebrate with the crowd, high-five fans on Avenue du Parc and cruise past the finish line with his arms in the air after more than five hours on the bike.

The 25-year-old joined Belgium's Greg Van Avermaet as the only multi-time winners in Montreal after claiming the race in 2022. He also redeemed a seventh-place finish at the Quebec City Grand Prix on Friday.

A cyclist races.

"I was disappointed, because I had such good legs that I didn't do better than seventh," Pogacar said. "To bounce back after seventh to victory here, it's just an incredible feeling."

It's Pogacar's latest win in a dominant year that includes victories at the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia.

Ottawa's Woods (Israel Premier-Tech) tied a career-best in front of the home crowd in Montreal, but hoped for more after claiming a stage at the Spanish Vuelta two weeks ago.

"I wanted a better result," the 37-year-old rider said. "My goal was a podium, but at the same time I'm happy with the performance. In bike racing, you can't always get the result you want and I felt like I raced really well, I animated the race, I felt like I was up there."

Pogacar completed the 17 climbs up and down Mount Royal near downtown in five hours 28 minutes 15 seconds.

He made his move with 23.3 kilometres to go, leaving the peloton in his dust as he pedalled into the lead — one he never relinquished.

  • Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar wins Tour de France, Canada's Derek Gee finishes 9th

Bilbao, Alaphilippe, Alex Aranburu (Movistar Team) and Bart Lemmen (Visma—Lease) chased in a group behind him, with Bilbao ultimately separating himself from the pack. But he never came close to catching Pogacar, who built a 35-second lead with one lap left to go.

"It was still a really hard race today, but the team was on point," Pogacar said. "We did really how we planned, and the race situation was good for us. We make it hard in the last final laps, and they set me up for a (takeover) two laps to go, and it was all perfect."

Ottawa's Derek Gee, who placed ninth in this year's Tour de France, finished 48th in Montreal, and called it a "hard day" in the heat.

"I think everyone knows when you see Tadej on the start line that it's just going to be full gas," Gee said.

Israel Premier-Tech teammate Hugo Houle of Sainte-Perpetue, Que., was 51st.

Houle said he heard Pogacar inform his teammates on the radio that he was ready to attack with two laps left in the race.

"I said then, well, clearly it's over for me," Houle said. "You see, cycling isn't that complicated."

Australia's Michael Matthews won the Quebec City GP for a record third time on Friday, but did not finish in Montreal. The two races are the only North American events on the UCI World Tour.

Michael Leonard of Oakville, Ont., and Gil Gelders and Dries De Bondt of Belgium broke away from the peloton during the second lap. Leonard led the majority of the race before losing pace with 45 kilometres to go.

Only 89 of 169 riders from 24 teams — including the Canadian national team — completed the gruelling race that features 4,573 metres in total altitude.

Next up, the riders will head to the world championships in Zurich, Switzerland from Sept. 21 to 29.

Pogacar will try to join Eddy Merckx (1974) and Stephen Roche (1987) as the only men to win three major titles in a season — known as the Triple Crown.

"Today gave me a lot of confidence, motivation," Pogacar said. "I think we are ready for world championships."

Bruce Springsteen talks 'Road Diary' and being a band boss: 'You're not alone'

Portrait of Brian Truitt

TORONTO – Bruce Springsteen sums up his new documentary succinctly: “That's how we make the sausage.”

The New Jersey rock music legend premiered “Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band” (streaming Oct. 25 on Hulu) at Toronto International Film Festival on Sunday night. Director Thom Zimny’s film – his 14th with Springsteen in 24 years, in addition to 40 music videos – follows the group’s 2023 to 2024 world tour, going back on the road for the first time in six years, and shows The Boss being a boss.

Through Springsteen’s narration and rehearsal footage, it covers everything from how he runs band practice to his crafting of a set list that plays the hits but also tells a story about age and mortality – for example, including “Last Man Standing” (from 2020’s “Letter to You”) about Springsteen being the last member of his first band still alive.

Patti Scialfa reveals multiple myeloma diagnosis in Bruce Springsteen's 'Road Diary' documentary

"Road Diary" also reveals that Springsteen's wife and bandmate Patti Scialfa was diagnosed in 2018 with multiple myeloma , and because of the rare form of blood cancer, her "new normal" is playing only a few songs at a show every so often. During a scene in which they duet on "Fire" and sing in a close embrace, she says via voiceover that performing with Springsteen offers "a side of our relationship that you usually don't get to see."

“We have the only job in the world where the people you went to high school with, at 75, you're still with those people,” Springsteen said in a post-screening Q&A about his longtime partnerships with bandmates. “The same people that you were with at 18, at 19, 50, 60 years later, you're still with those people. You live your life with them, you see them grow up. You see them get married, you see them get divorced. You see them go to jail, you see them get out of jail. You see them renege on their child payments, you see them pay up. You see them get older, you see their hair go gray, and you're in the room when they die.”

For producer Jon Landau, who has worked with Springsteen for 50 years, the movie showcases an innate quality about the man and his band that's kept them so vital for so long: “To me, what’s always attracted me to Bruce, going back to when I was a critic in the ‘70s, was his incredible vision, even in its earliest stages – that there was a clarity of purpose behind every song, every record, every detail.”

“Letter to You” and the current world tour covered in “Road Diary” marked a return to band mode for Springsteen after his New York solo residency “Springsteen on Broadway” and his 2019 album/film project “Western Stars.”

“I get completely committed to everything that I do. But the band is the band,” Springsteen said. “We've been good a long time. All those nights out on stage where you are risking yourself – because that is what you're doing, you are coming out, you are talking to people about the things that matter the most to you. You are leaving yourself wide open – you're not alone.

“That only happens to a few bands. Bands break up; that's the natural order of things. The Kinks, The Who. They can't even get two guys to stay together. Simon hates Garfunkel. Sam hates Dave. The Everly Brothers hated one another. You can't get two people to stay together. What are your odds? They're low.”

But the E Street Band has done it right, with what Springsteen called “a benevolent dictatorship.”

“We have this enormous collective where everyone has their role and a chance to contribute and own their place in the band,” Springsteen said. “We don't quite live in a world where everybody gets to feel that way about their jobs or the people that we work with. But I sincerely wish that we did, because it's an experience like none I've ever had in my life.

"If I went tomorrow, it's OK. What a (expletive) ride.”

Dems Capitalize on Taylor Swift Support With Ad Touting ‘Kamala Era’

Taylor Swift, Kamala Harris

The Kamala Harris campaign had no advance notice that Taylor Swift would be endorsing her on Tuesday night.

But now that she’s on board, the campaign is moving quickly to capitalize. The Harris merchandise page offered Harris-Walz friendship bracelets — a Swift reference — for $20. They quickly sold out.

Now they are more overtly integrating Swift’s backing into their paid media. The Democratic National Committee is paying for outdoor advertising with a message alluding to Swift’s tour: “We’re in our Kamala era!”

Another ad in the same locations will say “A New Way Forward… Ready for It?”

Swift endorsed Harris on Instagram shortly after Tuesday’s debate, saying the vice president “fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them.”

She also applauded the selection of Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate, noting his long-standing support for “LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body.”

She later shared a link to Vote.gov, the official government voter registration site, in her Instagram story, which drove more than 400,000 visits to the page in 24 hours, according to the General Services Administration.

That link was an indicator that Swift and the campaign aren’t entirely on the same page.

Other Harris surrogates, such as Barack Obama and Mark Hamill, have used their social media accounts to send supporters to IWillVote.com, the voter registration site run by the Democratic National Committee.

The “Kamala Era” ad includes a link to IWillVote.com. If users submit their cell numbers on that site, the campaign can follow up with voter outreach calls and text messages.
