Insomniac – Om Moksha Ritam Review
By Samguineous Maximus
The terms “psychedelic” and “post-metal” are usually enough for me to approach any new release with caution—not because those genres lack excellent music, but because they’re so often associated with overlong, unfocused songs. For every Cult of Luna or Oranssi Pazuzu, there are fifty bands peddling overlong, riffless dirges that mistake “atmosphere” for actual songwriting. Atlanta supergroup Insomniac has arrived with their debut record Om Moksha Ritam, with the ominous self-designation of “post-doom.” The title, loosely translated from Sanskrit as “Liberation through merging with the Universal Rhythm,”1 foregrounds its ambitions as a concept album designed to “guide listeners through an aural and spiritual journey across multiple extreme environments.” Have Insomniac crafted a narrative listening experience that successfully conveys its metaphysical aspirations? Or is their debut the “post-doom” equivalent of a bad trip?
On Om Moksha Ritam, Insomniac manages to craft a sound that is immediately recognizable yet distinctly their own. They merge the progressive psychedelia of Elder with the layered, textural approach of REZN, all filtered through the Southern-gothic tinge of fellow Georgians Baroness. The result is a body of songs that draw equally from the contemplative exploration of ’70s prog, Americana-dipped blues rock, and the anthemic heft of post-metal’s sludgier, power-chord-driven moments. What makes this combination work is not just the intuitive chemistry of the instrumentalists, but the commanding presence of vocalist Van Bassman. Each track is surprisingly vocal-driven, and Bassman conjures a sound somewhere between a bluesier Dax Riggs and a John Baizley who’s actually capable of singing. His baritone sits front and center for much of Om Moksha Ritam, often accompanied by vocal layers and effects, creating a kaleidoscopic swirl that amplifies the ebb and flow of the music as it moves between peaks and valleys.
It helps that Om Moksha Ritam’s tracklist is dynamic and well-paced, with each of its 7 songs offering subtle differentiation on Insomniac’s core formula. Much of this can be attributed to the interplay between guitarists Alex Avedissian and Mike Morris,2 whose willingness to balance acoustic and effects-laden electric timbres gives the record a versatile and interesting palette. The guitars ferry the songs between quiet reflection and crushing grandeur. Whether it’s weaving intricate folky arpeggios together with tripped-out leads (“Desert”), harmonizing across doomy atmospheres (“Mountain”) or using post-rock tremolos to punctuate a well-earned climax (“Meditation), the guitar work on Om Moksha Ritam is consistently engaging and varied. Of course, this would be for naught without a strong rhythm section, but Insomniac has that as well. Drummer Amos Rifkin brings a loose, delicate touch to softer tracks like “Sea” and “Forest,” but escalates with thunderous weight when the music demands greater intensity. Meanwhile, bassist Juan Garcia provides a warm, full-bodied tone that both supports and embellishes the melodic core, keeping the songs anchored amid the dense layering of guitars and vocals, which is important on a track like the expansive and sprawling “Snow and Ice.”
Only a few minor inconsistencies keep Om Moksha Ritam from reaching the apex of Insomniac’s sound. The B-side leans away from emphatic “Hell yes” moments in favor of slower, navel-gazing jams. These tracks reward repeat listens but aren’t as immediately gripping. Closer “Awakening” falls just shy of the monumental highs of the opening salvo, with a climactic chorus that doesn’t land as powerfully as it could. For the most part, the record sounds fantastic and balances its many intricate layers, though there are moments (the refrains of “Mountain” and “Sea”) where Bassman’s voice overpowers the rest of the band in a psychedelic spiral. These issues don’t detract too heavily from the record’s overall impact, but they are worth noting.
Om Moksha Ritam takes you on a hallucinogenic trek across the desert, riffs shimmering like heat mirages, the atmosphere thick enough to choke a camel. Insomniac has delivered an album that takes listeners on a true musical journey, drenched in smoke-filled vibes, yet immediately rewarding. Their unique, psychedelic strain of “post-doom” metal blends familiar elements from beloved bands into something greater than the sum of its parts. If Insomniac invite me on another spiritual vision quest through the wastelands of sound, I’ll happily lace up my sandals, pack my water skin, and follow them straight into the void.

The Edinburgh Radium Bomb: the thread about the Beechmount Institute
A couple of things happened recently. A fire at the former Corstorphine Hospital prompted me to read up and write about the history of that establishment and it was also the annual Christian Aid bumper booksale in Edinburgh, at which I picked up an excellent history of the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh1 (amongst many other things.) These circumstances converged to pique my interest in Beechmount, a grand mansion house which was, for a short time at least, the exotic and atomic sounding National Radium Centre and a pioneer in the field of radiotherapy.
Beechmount, estate agent’s photo. © 2025 Scarlett Land & DevelopmentBeechmount, set amongst 8 acres of woodland, was built in 1900 in an Italianate style to designs by Messrs McArthy & Watson as the private residence of Sir George and Lady Mary Anne Anderson. The land was feud from the Beechwood Mains estate at Murrayfield and its name was a simple amalgam of the neighbouring properties of Beechwood and Belmont.

Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandSir George was treasurer of the Bank of Scotland from 1898 to 1917, which explains how the coat of arms of that institution came to be found above the house’s main door and grand fireplace. He was the first Scottish “banker knight“, his title conferred for services to his industry. After his retirement in 1917, the Andersons spent their retirement at Beechmount as respected members of Edinburgh society. Sir George died there on December 1st 1923, aged 78. Lady Anne survived him before she too passed away in the house on 26th May 1926, aged 80. Her husband had intended that the house be left to his bank as an official residence for its treasurer but Lady Anne instead bequeathed it to the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh. She recommended it be used as a convalescent home for servicemen injured during World War I but gave the hospital managers final discretion as to its use. In addition, £5,000 was left to them to help adapt the property to its new purpose.

In 1926, the Infirmary had been able to purchase 500mg of the radioactive element Radium – a substantial proportion of the entire global supply of it at that time – as the result of a donation of £5,000. It began to experiment in its use for the treatment of “malignant disease“; cancer. Prior to this, the only known treatment was surgical removal of tumours and the new branch is what we now call Radiotherapy. To begin with, Radium treatments were undertaken in the main buildings of the Infirmary at Lauriston Place by introducing tiny amounts of the element directly into tumours using needles, different coloured threads attached to them indicating the radioactive strength. However it soon became clear that a specialised unit dedicated to the therapy would be desirable and in 1928 it was decided that Lady Anderson’s bequest should be fitted out as such; the Beechmount Radium Institute.
The medical promise of Radium was great but so too were the costs, dangers and difficulties associated with its use. As a result, in 1929 the government established the Radium Trust to source and hold supplies of the wonder material for the nation and the National Radium Commission to oversee its regulation and distribution. The Commission did not want to deal purely with hospitals and so in 1930 a joint partnership between the Royal Infirmary and the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Edinburgh was set up to combine their teaching and research in the field in order that they could mutually benefit from the national supply. In the meantime £11,000 was spent on the Beechmount project and the new facility, with 36 in-patient beds, was opened in October 1932. To begin with patients continued to be treated at the Infirmary and were sent to the new annexe for their pre- and post-treatment convalescent care, however the entire process was soon centralised at the Institute.
The Beechmount Radium Institute, photograph in the Nursing Times, March 1937The facility was overseen by the respected surgeon John James McIntosh (J.J.M.) Shaw, a military doctor, pioneer in re-constructive plastic surgery and member of both the Radium Trust and Commission. Its first matron was Margaret Colville Marshall, later “Lady Superintendent” of the Infirmary and awarded the OBE for this service. From his base at Beechmount, J.J.M. oversaw the establishment of the Cancer Control Organisation for Edinburgh and Southeast Scotland in 1934, a group of influential (and wealthy) members of society to help organising towards the running costs of the Institute. That same year the Radium Commission approved the Infirmary’s proposal that Beechmount become the National Radium Centre for southeast Scotland, the first of five such centres proposed for the country.

Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandWith the support of the Commission an additional 80omg of Radium was acquired and combined with the existing supply to form a mass unit of the material that was called a “Radium Bomb“. This made history as the first such Bomb outside of London and meant that treatments could be made indirectly, focussing the emitted radiation towards the tumour from a few inches away, rather than introducing it directly on needles. This new method was far more efficient and effective and was far safer for both the patient and the medical staff. The Commission also provided funding to pay for the running costs of the Bomb and to safely maintain and house it.

It is controlled from a distance by the operator on the right, who can position the head and then open a shutter in the “Bomb” housing to expose the tumour to radiation for a precise amount of time. CC-by-SA 4.0, from the Science Museum’s Wellcome Trust Collection.In 1936, J.J.M. reported that “treatment of malignant disease in certain situations such as the throat by means of the radium mass unit or ‘bomb’ has surpassed anything previously known“. He was joined at this time by Dr Margaret (Peggy) Tod as Honorary Associate Assistant Surgeon. Tod stayed for only a year before moving on to become the Deputy Director of the Holt Radium Institute in Manchester, but made “an outstanding contribution to the pioneering work at Beechmount“. The Infirmary’s capacity to administer radiotherapy increased exponentially as a result of dedicating Beechmount to it; in 1939 it reported over 15,000 treatments had been administered, up from only 907 just five years previously.
Margaret Colville Marshall, 1895-1995, obituary photograph.From 1937, the matron was Jean Ritchie and she served in this post until 1939 when the Institute was closed “for the duration” and re-purposed as a convalescent Auxiliary Hospital; this scheme was directly funded by central government and allowed patients to be removed from the main Infirmary thus freeing up capacity there for dedicated military use or for civilians injured as a result of air raids. The Radium Bomb was removed to the Infirmary and buried at the bottom of a 40 foot deep well shaft to avoid it resulting in a “dirty bomb” in the event it was hit by an air raid. Sadly, Dr Shaw died on wartime active service with the Royal Army Medical Corps in Cairo in September 1940, aged 54, having contracted dysentery while serving as the Consultant Surgeon to the Army GHQ.

Picture uploaded to Ancestry by Martin Bainbridge.After the war, Radiotherapy in Edinburgh was concentrated at the Western General Hospital and Beechmount was not returned to that use. Instead it remained as a 46 bed convalescent home, operated in tandem with the Corstorphine Home and attached to the Royal Infirmary. In 1974, reorganisation of the medical bureaucracy saw Beechmount detached from the Infirmary and grouped in with other small district hospitals in the Lothians to provide specialist geriatric convalescent care.
One long-standing problem of Beechmount was that the building was accessible from the main road only by a very steep set of stairs or a driveway with multiple hairpin bends. In 1969 an ambulance driver did not correctly apply the brakes of his vehicle resulting in it careering 50 yards down the embankment before progress was arrested by a mature tree. Fortunately the occupants, Mrs Ella Hamersley and Mr Charles Baker, suffered only minor injuries. For the benefit of less mobile visitors to the hospital, members of the Corstorphine Rotary Club used their own cars to provide a shuttle service of rides up and down the gradient during visiting hours.

The modern wing at the back was that built for staff accommodation when it was converted for medical use © 2025 Scarlett Land & DevelopmentIn 1987 the Lothian Health Board denied that it had plans to either close Beechmount Hospital or convert it into a unit for the specialised treatment of patients with HIV/AIDS. However the following year it proposed the closure and sale of the hospital amid a widespread rationalisation and cost cutting plan. The Board cited the fact that the facility was costing £360,000 a year to run, its opponents countered that the running costs of convalescent hospital beds was only a third of that at major hospitals like the Royal Infirmary or the Western General. But the site was potentially very valuable to developers and with the support of the Secretary of State for Scotland, in what the Daily Record dubbed the “Sick Sale of the Century“, Scotland’s health boards were backed from the top to dispose of a swathe of surplus property on the open market to raise money for their capital budgets. Beechmount was closed in 1989 and the house and grounds were to be sold the following year for £1.8 million. The sale fell through however, as did a scheme to convert it into a Hotel. In 1993 the Health Board intended to build a new dental hospital at Beechmount but found it could not afford the renovation costs of £6 million. The premises were in the interim leased to the Scottish Wildlife Trust who used it for offices and returned to the market and finally sold by the Health Board in 1996, the former staff accommodation being converted into apartments and returned to residential use. It was on the market again in 2018 for offers over £4.5 million and eventually sold. It is currently (2025) being used as emergency accommodation for those experiencing homelessness.

“The Scarlet Pimpernel” is a captivating and thrilling novel, which holds a prominent place in my reading “hall of fame”.
The story of Sir Percy Blakeney’s daring escapades during the Reign of Terror continues to capture the imaginations of readers around the world. The book’s blend of adventure, intrigue, and themes of heroism and sacrifice have made it a beloved classic, thanks to the creative writing of Baroness Emmuska Orczy, a renowned Hungarian novelist.
On this day in 1947, the world bid farewell to a remarkable author whose contributions continue to captivate readers to this day.
Baroness Emmuska Orczy will forever be remembered as the mastermind behind the beloved novel, The Scarlet Pimpernel. This thrilling tale of adventure and intrigue captured the imagination of countless readers and became one of the most successful novels of the 20th century. The story introduced the enigmatic hero, Sir Percy Blakeney, whose daring escapades to rescue French aristocrats during the Reign of Terror enthralled audiences worldwide.
The exact number of books published on “The Scarlet Pimpernel” is difficult to determine, as there have been various editions and adaptations over the years. However, the original novel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy, titled “The Scarlet Pimpernel,” was first published in 1905. It was followed by a series of sequels and spin-offs featuring the character Sir Percy Blakeney. In total, Orczy wrote over a dozen books in the Scarlet Pimpernel series, including novels and short stories. Additionally, there have been numerous adaptations, including plays, films, and television shows, based on the original novel. The enduring popularity of “The Scarlet Pimpernel” has undoubtedly inspired many authors to explore and expand the world of the enigmatic hero.
Beyond her literary achievements, Orczy embodied the essence of perseverance and creativity. Her writing reflected a deep understanding of the human spirit, often exploring themes of heroism, love, and sacrifice. Her characters resonated with readers, inspiring them to contemplate the significance of honour and the fight against injustice.

Ocksters, Oxscares and Oxcars: the thread about the islands of the Forth and what some of their names mean
Oxcars. A lump of rock crowned by a lighthouse in the Firth of Forth. I was interested to see that a 17th century variation of the name was Ocksters – the Scots word for armpit!
Ocksters – Excerpt from Greenville Collins’ map of the Firth of Forth, 1693. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandA few years previously it’s down as Ockstairs on the original sketches for John Adair’s map of the Forth, but then in a 1703 imprint it has been amended to Oxscares. The oldest variation is recorded in 1621 as Oixtaris in the Register of the Privy Council on the subject of the need for a beacon on these rocks, which are submerged at high tides.
Oxscares – Adair’s map of 1703. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandIf you are wondering where these variations come from, then wonder no more. The root is Ox Scaris, as in ox skerries; ox being the animal and skerries being intertidal rocks. Ocksters etc. are simply phonetic variations. It’s likely this animal theme lent its name to the neighbouring rock of Cow(s) & Calves, which was traditionally Muckriestone as it lies off the north on Admiralty coastal charts.
Cows and Calves off of Inchmickery, OS 1 inch map of 1895. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandWorking our way down the Forth from it’s outer reaches, we can explore the toponymy of the islands; the meanings of their place names. The Isle of May, at the eastern extreme, is likely from the old Norse, Má ey or gull island. Stands to obvious reason. The Gaelic Magh, an open field, is less likely.
Isle of May – Excerpt from Adair’s map of the Firth of Forth, 1703. Excerpt from Greenville Collins’ map of the Firth of Forth, 1693. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandAbout 8 miles south, and a little west, of the May is the Bass Rock, whose unmistakable outline is prominent along the East Lothian coast. The origin of its name has been lost to history, John Milne suggests a relation to death, from the Gaelic bàs, as it was long a place of banishment and execution, but that’s just conjecture and some of Milne’s use of Gaelic is often a little bit too convenient. But we do know that the Bass gives the scientific species name to the Northern Gannet – Morus bassanus – for which it is the largest colony. These animals were scientifically described as far back as the 16th century as Anser bassanus, and later in the 18th by Linnaeus as Sula bassana. The Scots word for them was however the solendguse or solen goose. In the spring and summer, the Bass takes on a white appearance, caked in the birds and their droppings.
The Bass Rock, John Gabriel Stedman, 1780. Collection of the National Galleries of ScotlandMoving west, the next island is Craigleith. Milne suggests the Gaelic Creag Liath – the grey rock. (In Gaelic, Liath – is the colour of a blue sky, but when used in reference to the landscape it refers to something being greyish. This is a feature of the Gaelic language when dealing with place names; the colour use is subjective and descriptive, not literal). However Craigleith is actually comprised of very dark, volcanic rocks – it needs to be squinted at in combination with the stains of guano to take on a greyish hue. It should also be noted that in Gaelic the word liath does not have the soft “th” ending that Leith does in English. Notice on the 18th century map below that the earliest spelling is Lieth, with the I before the E, which was also the case at this time for maps showing the port and town of Leith along the coast.
Craig Lieth. Excerpt from Adair’s map of the Firth of Forth, 1703. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandNext up is The Lamb. Milne goes for the easy Gaelic Làmh for an arm or handle, one assumes for the shape, but in that language the –mh sounds like an English –v. As I said before, sometimes Milne’s use of Gaelic for the roots of place names seems to be just too convenient. There might also be a Norse origin for the name, or it may simply be named after the animal (see already Oxcars, Cows & Calves). It is after all flanked by the North andSouth Dog rocks. This island was bought by Uri Geller (yes, that Uri Geller) in 2009 so he could dowse for Egyptian treasure on it. Yes, I’m being serious, he described that it’s an analogue for the layout of the Egyptian pyramids and holds the buried treasure of Princess Scota. He recently told the BBC that he has spent a single night on his island and didn’t enjoy it one bit and was declaring the island a micronation, the Republic of Lamb. In January 2026 Mr Geller again made the headlines when he declared Donald Trump an honorary citizen and president of the island.
Lamb, North Dog and South Dog, from OS 6 inch map, 1853. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandMoving west is Fidra, for which Milne once again gives a fanciful Gaelic derivation, but it’s now believed to be Old Norse, from Fiðrey or Feather Island as a result of all the seabirds. Eider feathers would have been gathered here in yore for use in bedding. Robert Louis Stevenson based his plan for Treasure Island on Fidra (amongst other islands). Like its eastern neighbour, Fidra too is guarded by North and South Dogs.
Fidra as shown on the OS 6-inch map, 1854. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandNext along is Eyebroughy, the fourth and final of the basalt islands between North Berwick and Aberlady. It is shown as Ibris in Adair’s 18th century chart and the 1850s Ordnance Survey place name book for East Lothian also gives Eyebrochy. The Old Norse Ey for island seems an obvious start for the word, but I cannot find a reference explaning the second part.
Ibris. Excerpt from Adair’s map of the Firth of Forth, 1703. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandThere is now something of a gap until the next major island; it is 12.5 miles from Eyebroughy to Inchkeith, which looms large in the centre of the Firth. Its etymology gets a whole chapter on its Wikipedia page, but the logical explanation may be Innse Coit, a hybrid of old Gaelic (Island) and Welsh (wooded); a wooded island. The oldest recorded form is Ked in the 13th century, but as the Place Names of Fife points out, its an unlikely candidate to be known for being wooded, so once again we probably just don’t know. It was used to quarantine victims of syphilis from Leith and Edinburgh in the 15th century, of that we do know. The Grandgore (syphilis) Act of 1497, saw the island made a place of “Compulsory Retirement” for sufferers, obliged to board a ship at Leith and to remain on their island “till God provide for their health“.
“Inchkeith on the Forth in a Fresh Gale”, John Gabriel Stedman, 1781. Collection of the National Galleries of ScotlandInterestingly, the Georgian mapmaker extraordinaire of Scotland, William Roy, left Inchkeith off his Great Maps of both the Lowlands and Highlands, with the Forth forming the boundary between these two geographical divisions in the east of the country. But there is a square that looks like a repair where it should be…
Here be… nothing? The position of Inchkeith on Roy’s map. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandNext up is Oxcars, 5.5 miles west of Inchkeith, where we started this thread. If we move south from there we get to Inchmickery and Mickrystone (now Cows & Calves, as previously mentioned also). The derivation of Mickery may be from the Gaelic Innis nam Bhiocaire, island of vicars, as like most of the islands of the Forth it has been a Christian retreat at one time or another. The island was fortified during both World Wars, and it’s not without good reason that there’s a legend that its outline was deliberately made to look like an anchored battleship. The logic is that any U-boat commander who made it into the Forth would pop up his periscope, be taken in by the cunningly disguised island and would have fired his torpedoes and disappeared before realising he’d wasted them on a rock. If you know your Royal Navy ships, the fortifications are a reasonably good likeness to HMS Nelson and Rodney, but I have it on expert authority that the legend is precisely that, a legend.
Inchmickery. CC-BY-SA 2.0, Anne Burgess and HMS Nelson. Move the slider to compare the outlines.North of Cows & Calves is Inchcolm; probably the best known of the Forth Islands and certainly the most visited. It is named for Saint Columba (Colum Cille in Gaelic) who reputedly visited it in the 6th century. The modern name is from the Gaelic Innis Choluim orColumba’s Island. The old joke goes “how many inches are there in the Forth?” and you’re meant to count the islands. In The Scottish Play, Shakespeare refers to the place as Saint Colmes Ynch.
“Inchcolm on the Forth in a Summer Shower”, John Gabriel Stedman, 1781. Collection of the National Galleries ScotlandJust off Inchcolm lies Inchgnome, but the jury of the best minds in Scottish placenames is still out on where that one might come from. Probably from some obscure Gaelic saint.

South and west lies Cramond Island, which obviously takes its name from the village off which it lies. That in turn comes from Caer Amond, Caer being old British for a fortification (referring to Roman fort on the site), and Amond or Almond is the river of that name. Like the rivers Esk and Avon (and others), River Almond is a tautology as the latter word simply means river.
Cramond IslandAnother tautological place name is the island of Carcraig , just northwest of Inchcolm. The Car element is an Scots word for rock (from the Old English Carr) and the Craig bit is the Scots word for the same, from the Gaelic Creag.
Carcraig, from OS 6 inch map, 1853. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandThe other principal islet off of Inchcolm is Meadulse. This rock is entirely covered by the tide which makes it an excellent growing place for seaweed and the name likely comes from the edible dulse which grows there and is known to have been a medieval food source.
The final, and westernmost, of the Inches of the Forth is Inchgarvie, that convenient supporting foothold for the Forth Bridge. Its name is likely from the Gaelic Innse Garbh, or rough island, the –bh sound in Gaelic sounding like a –v in English. This is on account of its rugged appearance (and perhaps its legendary population of giant rats!).
Inchgarvie, OS 25 inch map of 1892. Reproduced with the permission of the National Library of ScotlandUpstream of the Forth Bridge there are fewer islands. The Beamer Rock‘s name is quite literal, and refers to an early beacon that was there from time immemorial to guard ships from it. The older form was Bimar or Bymerskyrr, the –skyrr from the Scots skerry, for a low islet or sea rock. This islet suffered the indignity of having the very beacon it was named for demolished (the base was blown up with explosives) in 2011 to make way for a tower of the Queensferry Crossing.
Beamer Rock in 2010. CC-BY-SA 2.0 Simon Johnston.I won’t move any further west than this, as this site is principally concerned with the geography of Edinburgh, Leith and the Lothians. However there are of course countless other islets and named rocks in the Forth. Many of these are simply a variation on Craig, Carr and Bush, all words referring to rocks. Selected others in the Edinburgh area include:
- Birnies, a collection of tidal rocks at Granton. I cannot find a description of the name, but the –birnie in the placename Kilbirnie comes from the Gaelic Cill Bhraonaigh, or Saint Brendan.
- Another rock near the Birnies, Chestnut logically takes its name from its similarity of appearance to the fruit of that tree
- General’s Rock on the Granton Foreshore, allegedly where English forces under Lord Hertford (Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset) landed in 1544 before the burning of Edinburgh and Leith.
- Gunnet Ledge, a navigational hazard directly north of the entrance to the Port of Leith and west of Inchkeith, marked by a pair of bouys called the East and West Gunnet since at least the start of the 19th century. Probably a variation of Gannet, alternative older spellings include Dunnet and Guneet.
- Martello Rocks, sitting at the old tidal entrance to the Port of Leith and named retrospectively for the Martello Tower that was constructed upon them to defend the approaches
- Megmillar another intertidal rock off of the Granton foreshore, whose name I can find no explanation for.
The names of many of these islands were given to Council housing tower blocks built in the north of the city in the 1950s and 60s. There re are of course many more, but I hope this whistle stop tour has been of some interest.

Il primo sintomo della fine dell’epoca della solidarietà nazionale
Il governo “della non sfiducia” Andreotti III e il governo Andreotti IV
#1978 #AldoMoro #DC #ElenaPattaro #finanziamento #GiovanniLeone #GiulioAndreotti #governi #morte #nazionale #ordine #partiti #PCI #Presidente #PSI #pubblico #rapimento #referendum #solidarietà
In seguito alle consultazioni presidenziali, nel corso delle quali vengono sentiti i segretari e presidenti di partito (per la prima volta anche non parlamentari <248), viene formato il governo Andreotti III, un monocolore democristiano detto della “non sfiducia” o “delle astensioni”, perché votano la fiducia soltanto Dc e Sud-Tiroler Volkspartei, si oppongono Msi, Dp e Pri, mentre tutti gli altri (compreso il partito comunista) si astengono (i voti a favore alla Camera sono 258, mentre 303 sono gli astenuti; al Senato sono 136 i voti favorevoli, 69 le astensioni, 92 gli assenti) <249. Il III ministero Andreotti nasce quindi come governo dettato dallo stato di necessità, dalla confluenza di forze politiche che si collocano su posizioni programmatiche diametralmente opposte e privo di una maggioranza precostituita. Nonostante questo, permane in carica per ben 19 mesi, un arco temporale piuttosto lungo per gli standard del tempo. E’ la fine della conventio ad excludendum e l’inizio della breve epoca della solidarietà nazionale, ossia della costituzione di governi sostenuti da ampie alleanze aventi lo scopo di garantire al Paese una stabilità governativa in un periodo di forte disagio economico-sociale. Sotto questo punto di vista, il ministero di Andreotti viene assimilato al governo delle “convergenze parallele” per preparare il terreno politico all’ingresso dei socialisti al governo <250.
L’iter di formazione del governo è molto lungo (le elezioni si tengono il 20 giugno, le consultazioni iniziano il 12 luglio, mentre il voto di fiducia si svolge il 4 agosto), in quanto le forze politiche necessitano di tempo per accordarsi sul riparto delle cariche e delle poltrone in modo favorire la partecipazione di tutte le principali forze politiche (ad esempio, Amintore Fanfani diventa presidente del Senato, mentre la presidenza della Camera viene per la prima volta assegnata a un comunista, Pietro Ingrao), senza tuttavia che il partito comunista abbia strumenti per intromettersi nelle decisioni di indirizzo politico governative. Anche la scelta di Andreotti quale Presidente del Consiglio è dettata da questa necessità: egli è infatti tra i pochi che durante la crisi di governo hanno mantenuto un atteggiamento accomodante nei confronti dei socialisti. Secondo altri, peraltro, la designazione di Andreotti è volta ad alleggerire i contrasti interni alla Dc, percorsa da tre movimenti che si oppongono alle decisioni della segreteria Zaccagnini: dorotei, andreottiani e forlaniani <251.
La prevedibile crisi del governo Andreotti, nella più totale inconciliabilità delle posizioni politiche, vede il contrapporsi di due blocchi: da un lato, i comunisti chiedono la costituzione di un governo di emergenza, o, in alternativa, di un governo dalla maggioranza precostituita con la partecipazione del Pci o di un governo delle sinistre con l’appoggio esterno della Dc; dall’altro lato, la Dc, contraria a un governo con il Pci, è stretta nella morsa dei socialisti, che si dichiarano favorevoli soltanto a un governo che veda il coinvolgimento del partito comunista <252. Andreotti, reincaricato, si muove quindi nel tentativo di trovare una “soluzione intermedia tra la maggioranza di programma e il governo d’emergenza” <253.
In questa fase di difficile compromesso politico, Andreotti riesce a costituire il suo IV governo, un monocolore che il 16 marzo 1978 ottiene la fiducia con i voti favorevoli del partito comunista. Ma la fiducia a un governo monocolore è concessa soltanto a causa dell’allarme creato, proprio il giorno della votazione, dal rapimento di Aldo Moro ad opera delle Brigate Rosse, che rilancia in tutta la sua gravità il tema del terrorismo sul tavolo dello scontro politico <254.
Verso la fine della solidarietà nazionale e il referendum sul finanziamento pubblico ai partiti
La morte di Moro, il cui cadavere viene ritrovato il 9 maggio 1978, scuote le fondamenta della politica nazionale non soltanto per la gravissima portata eversiva di un atto terroristico rivolto contro uno dei principali leader del partito di maggioranza relativa, ma anche perché sancisce il declino del “compromesso storico”. Moro era il principale interlocutore politico di Berlinguer e la sua morte rende impraticabile il cammino avviato. Il primo sintomo della fine dell’epoca della solidarietà nazionale proviene dalle elezioni amministrative che nel maggio e giugno del 1978 si tengono in alcune province e nelle regioni a statuto speciale Friuli-Venezia Giulia e Valle d’Aosta. La Dc ha un grande successo, ottenendo il 42,6% dei voti, contro il 26,4% dei comunisti. Anche il Psi aumenta, accaparrandosi il 13%, mentre il Msi diminuisce ulteriormente <255. Nello stesso periodo, l’11 giugno 1978, il partito comunista subisce un’altra sconfitta in occasione della consultazione referendaria promossa dai radicali per l’abrogazione di due leggi: a) la legge Reale (152 del 1975) sull’ordine pubblico, che determina un accrescimento dei poteri delle forze dell’ordine, alla cui abrogazione sono contrari Dc, Psi, Pri e Psdi; b) la legge sul finanziamento pubblico ai partiti (195 del 1974), che vede contrarie all’abrogazione tutte le forze politiche, fatta eccezione per i promotori. In entrambi i casi i “no” all’abrogazione prevalgono sui voti favorevoli alla stessa, attenendosi quindi al volere della maggioranza dei partiti. Tuttavia, il voto contrario all’abrogazione del finanziamento pubblico ai partiti è solo del 56% dei votanti, che rappresenta una minoranza rispetto all’intero corpo elettorale <256. E’ la denuncia di un elettorato stanco degli intrighi di palazzo e di un sistema politico la cui inefficienza si fa sempre più esasperata.
[NOTE]
48 Già nel corso della crisi del IV governo Moro viene sentito per il partito liberale il vice-segretario, non parlamentare. La sua convocazione, inizialmente negata, è ammessa, tuttavia, in quanto egli viene sentito in rappresentanza del segretario di partito – deputato – che a causa di un’indisposizione non avrebbe potuto partecipare. E’ quindi con la crisi del governo Moro che per la prima volta viene inserita a pieno titolo la consultazione di un presidente di partito (quello liberale) non più parlamentare (cfr. Appunto. Crisi di governo – Personalità consultate, in ASPR, Ufficio per gli affari giuridici e le relazioni costituzionali, Crisi di governo-Diari, busta 38).

Il rapimento di Moro divide le forze politiche sulla strategia da adottare. Infatti, le Brigate Rosse chiedono in riscatto la liberazione di alti esponenti del terrorismo: alcune forze politiche sono disposte al baratto per il salvataggio di Moro (c.d. “fronte della trattativa”, su cui si schierano Psi, Pli e il gruppo conservatore della Dc, guidato da Forlani), altre, invece, scelgono la via della “fermezza” non accettando di scendere a patti con i terroristi (Pci, la segreteria della Dc, guidata da Zaccagnini, il leader del Pri, Ugo La Malfa). Leone, dal canto suo, si dice disposto a firmare la grazia per i rapitori. I due diversi atteggiamenti con cui le forze politiche affrontano il problema del rapimento di Moro è rappresentativo, del resto, delle divisioni tra due fazioni politiche nel delicato periodo storico di riferimento: il “fronte della trattativa” è per lo più composto da personalità contrarie alla formula politica della “solidarietà nazionale”, mentre sul “fronte della fermezza” si schierano le forze politiche fautrici della “solidarietà nazionale” e promotrici di una strategia di rigida intransigenza nei confronti di qualsivoglia fenomeno terroristico (cfr. A. Baldassarre – C. Mezzanotte, op. cit., pp. 221-222).

Nello stesso periodo, l’11 giugno 1978, il partito comunista subisce un’altra sconfitta in occasione della consultazione referendaria promossa dai radicali per l’abrogazione di due leggi: a) la legge Reale (152 del 1975) sull’ordine pubblico, che determina un accrescimento dei poteri delle forze dell’ordine, alla cui abrogazione sono contrari Dc, Psi, Pri e Psdi; b) la legge sul finanziamento pubblico ai partiti (195 del 1974), che vede contrarie all’abrogazione tutte le forze politiche, fatta eccezione per i promotori. In entrambi i casi i “no” all’abrogazione prevalgono sui voti favorevoli alla stessa, attenendosi quindi al volere della maggioranza dei partiti. Tuttavia, il voto contrario all’abrogazione del finanziamento pubblico ai partiti è solo del 56% dei votanti, che rappresenta una minoranza rispetto all’intero corpo elettorale <256. E’ la denuncia di un elettorato stanco degli intrighi di palazzo e di un sistema politico la cui inefficienza si fa sempre più esasperata.
[NOTE]
48 Già nel corso della crisi del IV governo Moro viene sentito per il partito liberale il vice-segretario, non parlamentare. La sua convocazione, inizialmente negata, è ammessa, tuttavia, in quanto egli viene sentito in rappresentanza del segretario di partito – deputato – che a causa di un’indisposizione non avrebbe potuto partecipare. E’ quindi con la crisi del governo Moro che per la prima volta viene inserita a pieno titolo la consultazione di un presidente di partito (quello liberale) non più parlamentare (cfr. Appunto.

Leone, dal canto suo, si dice disposto a firmare la grazia per i rapitori. I due diversi atteggiamenti con cui le forze politiche affrontano il problema del rapimento di Moro è rappresentativo, del resto, delle divisioni tra due fazioni politiche nel delicato periodo storico di riferimento: il “fronte della trattativa” è per lo più composto da personalità contrarie alla formula politica della “solidarietà nazionale”, mentre sul “fronte della fermezza” si schierano le forze politiche fautrici della “solidarietà nazionale” e promotrici di una strategia di rigida intransigenza nei confronti di qualsivoglia fenomeno terroristico (cfr.

Il primo sintomo della fine dell’epoca della solidarietà nazionale
Il governo “della non sfiducia” Andreotti III e il governo Andreotti IV
#1978 #AldoMoro #DC #ElenaPattaro #finanziamento #GiovanniLeone #GiulioAndreotti #governi #morte #nazionale #ordine #partiti #PCI #Presidente #PSI #pubblico #rapimento #referendum #solidarietà
In seguito alle consultazioni presidenziali, nel corso delle quali vengono sentiti i segretari e presidenti di partito (per la prima volta anche non parlamentari <248), viene formato il governo Andreotti III, un monocolore democristiano detto della “non sfiducia” o “delle astensioni”, perché votano la fiducia soltanto Dc e Sud-Tiroler Volkspartei, si oppongono Msi, Dp e Pri, mentre tutti gli altri (compreso il partito comunista) si astengono (i voti a favore alla Camera sono 258, mentre 303 sono gli astenuti; al Senato sono 136 i voti favorevoli, 69 le astensioni, 92 gli assenti) <249. Il III ministero Andreotti nasce quindi come governo dettato dallo stato di necessità, dalla confluenza di forze politiche che si collocano su posizioni programmatiche diametralmente opposte e privo di una maggioranza precostituita. Nonostante questo, permane in carica per ben 19 mesi, un arco temporale piuttosto lungo per gli standard del tempo. E’ la fine della conventio ad excludendum e l’inizio della breve epoca della solidarietà nazionale, ossia della costituzione di governi sostenuti da ampie alleanze aventi lo scopo di garantire al Paese una stabilità governativa in un periodo di forte disagio economico-sociale. Sotto questo punto di vista, il ministero di Andreotti viene assimilato al governo delle “convergenze parallele” per preparare il terreno politico all’ingresso dei socialisti al governo <250.
L’iter di formazione del governo è molto lungo (le elezioni si tengono il 20 giugno, le consultazioni iniziano il 12 luglio, mentre il voto di fiducia si svolge il 4 agosto), in quanto le forze politiche necessitano di tempo per accordarsi sul riparto delle cariche e delle poltrone in modo favorire la partecipazione di tutte le principali forze politiche (ad esempio, Amintore Fanfani diventa presidente del Senato, mentre la presidenza della Camera viene per la prima volta assegnata a un comunista, Pietro Ingrao), senza tuttavia che il partito comunista abbia strumenti per intromettersi nelle decisioni di indirizzo politico governative. Anche la scelta di Andreotti quale Presidente del Consiglio è dettata da questa necessità: egli è infatti tra i pochi che durante la crisi di governo hanno mantenuto un atteggiamento accomodante nei confronti dei socialisti. Secondo altri, peraltro, la designazione di Andreotti è volta ad alleggerire i contrasti interni alla Dc, percorsa da tre movimenti che si oppongono alle decisioni della segreteria Zaccagnini: dorotei, andreottiani e forlaniani <251.
La prevedibile crisi del governo Andreotti, nella più totale inconciliabilità delle posizioni politiche, vede il contrapporsi di due blocchi: da un lato, i comunisti chiedono la costituzione di un governo di emergenza, o, in alternativa, di un governo dalla maggioranza precostituita con la partecipazione del Pci o di un governo delle sinistre con l’appoggio esterno della Dc; dall’altro lato, la Dc, contraria a un governo con il Pci, è stretta nella morsa dei socialisti, che si dichiarano favorevoli soltanto a un governo che veda il coinvolgimento del partito comunista <252. Andreotti, reincaricato, si muove quindi nel tentativo di trovare una “soluzione intermedia tra la maggioranza di programma e il governo d’emergenza” <253.
In questa fase di difficile compromesso politico, Andreotti riesce a costituire il suo IV governo, un monocolore che il 16 marzo 1978 ottiene la fiducia con i voti favorevoli del partito comunista. Ma la fiducia a un governo monocolore è concessa soltanto a causa dell’allarme creato, proprio il giorno della votazione, dal rapimento di Aldo Moro ad opera delle Brigate Rosse, che rilancia in tutta la sua gravità il tema del terrorismo sul tavolo dello scontro politico <254.
Verso la fine della solidarietà nazionale e il referendum sul finanziamento pubblico ai partiti
La morte di Moro, il cui cadavere viene ritrovato il 9 maggio 1978, scuote le fondamenta della politica nazionale non soltanto per la gravissima portata eversiva di un atto terroristico rivolto contro uno dei principali leader del partito di maggioranza relativa, ma anche perché sancisce il declino del “compromesso storico”. Moro era il principale interlocutore politico di Berlinguer e la sua morte rende impraticabile il cammino avviato. Il primo sintomo della fine dell’epoca della solidarietà nazionale proviene dalle elezioni amministrative che nel maggio e giugno del 1978 si tengono in alcune province e nelle regioni a statuto speciale Friuli-Venezia Giulia e Valle d’Aosta. La Dc ha un grande successo, ottenendo il 42,6% dei voti, contro il 26,4% dei comunisti. Anche il Psi aumenta, accaparrandosi il 13%, mentre il Msi diminuisce ulteriormente <255.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – October 2025
Introduction
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting my blog, and for checking out this new issue of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
My A1222+. Photo by Puni.If you are new to this series (hi, and welcome!), it’s essentially a summary that covers the previous month’s news related to the AmigaOS 4 platform.
This month, October, has been jam-packed with events and news, almost too much to keep up with! News is spread on many channels, so there is a lot to keep track of, but that is part of the fun, and the reason they end up in a roundup like this. 😉
Anyway, October has been a FANTASTIC month for the AmigaOS 4 community, I dare to state that. It will be hard to top this for a while, I think!
Without further ado, let’s dive into what October was like in the world of AmigaOS 4!
Software News
First up is ReSrc4 from René W. Olsen. This is a portable Amiga 68k hunk file disassembler. The source code is available on GitHub:
https://github.com/rolsen74/resrc4
The archive can be fetched from OS4Depot:

Screenshot by PuniIn a field of stacked stones, your target is to eliminate groups of stones of the same color. Thereby, the other stones will fall down and form new groups. The game ends when no more groups can be eliminated.
The game works very well, and I enjoyed testing it. I recommend that you give it a try if you enjoy puzzle games like this!

Screenshot by PuniKikems is back with version 1.0R7 of the next generation pixel editor for Amiga called Pixy. The original concept was created by Sinisrus, who worked on it in the years 2016 to 2020. Kimens from AmigaWave is now improving it further.
Pixy is a drawing program dedicated to pixel art and graphics with alpha channel transparency. It allows you to create several animations in a single project, and each image of each animation sequence contains its own layers. This makes it possible to work on all the animations of a character when creating video games, for example. The interface is intentionally inspired by Photoshop.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mui-vim/On Aminet, we can also see that A. Pankalla has released a set of special mouse drivers. He writes as follows:
This mouse drivers based on open-source code from diverse authors and was changed in two manners.
First, some functions are changed, because they deprecrated and second i changed some lines of codes to fit to severale mouse types. The changed source code you find in the source directory, it is based on the xero-driver from W. Hosemann. You can recompile it with different constants to genrate the special drivers.
The main new function of the driver’s is to provide a possibility to scroll also in horizontal direction, this is usesd, for example, in the directory windows or the notepad. This function is mapped to special hardware buttons. Check the hardware id’s with tools like usbinspector or devinfos(ng). the driver only works with this deticated hardware!

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – October 2025
Introduction
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting my blog, and for checking out this new issue of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
My A1222+. Photo by Puni.If you are new to this series (hi, and welcome!), it’s essentially a summary that covers the previous month’s news related to the AmigaOS 4 platform.
This month, October, has been jam-packed with events and news, almost too much to keep up with! News is spread on many channels, so there is a lot to keep track of, but that is part of the fun, and the reason they end up in a roundup like this. 😉
Anyway, October has been a FANTASTIC month for the AmigaOS 4 community, I dare to state that. It will be hard to top this for a while, I think!
Without further ado, let’s dive into what October was like in the world of AmigaOS 4!

Screenshot by PuniIn a field of stacked stones, your target is to eliminate groups of stones of the same color. Thereby, the other stones will fall down and form new groups. The game ends when no more groups can be eliminated.
The game works very well, and I enjoyed testing it. I recommend that you give it a try if you enjoy puzzle games like this!

A new build of FFmpeg 8.0 from Michael Trebilcock has been released. This one will only run on the A1222, but it is not e500 / SPE optimized. Despite this, it is significantly faster than the generic FPU build when run on the A1222.
FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter that can also grab from a live audio/video source. It can also convert between arbitrary sample rates and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter.

Screenshot by PuniKikems is back with version 1.0R7 of the next generation pixel editor for Amiga called Pixy. The original concept was created by Sinisrus, who worked on it in the years 2016 to 2020. Kimens from AmigaWave is now improving it further.
Pixy is a drawing program dedicated to pixel art and graphics with alpha channel transparency. It allows you to create several animations in a single project, and each image of each animation sequence contains its own layers. This makes it possible to work on all the animations of a character when creating video games, for example. The interface is intentionally inspired by Photoshop.
More information about Pixy, as well as a download, can be found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mui-vim/On Aminet, we can also see that A. Pankalla has released a set of special mouse drivers. He writes as follows:
This mouse drivers based on open-source code from diverse authors and was changed in two manners.
First, some functions are changed, because they deprecrated and second i changed some lines of codes to fit to severale mouse types. The changed source code you find in the source directory, it is based on the xero-driver from W. Hosemann. You can recompile it with different constants to genrate the special drivers.
The main new function of the driver’s is to provide a possibility to scroll also in horizontal direction, this is usesd, for example, in the directory windows or the notepad. This function is mapped to special hardware buttons. Check the hardware id’s with tools like usbinspector or devinfos(ng). the driver only works with this deticated hardware!

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – October 2025
Introduction
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting my blog, and for checking out this new issue of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
My A1222+. Photo by Puni.If you are new to this series (hi, and welcome!), it’s essentially a summary that covers the previous month’s news related to the AmigaOS 4 platform.
This month, October, has been jam-packed with events and news, almost too much to keep up with! News is spread on many channels, so there is a lot to keep track of, but that is part of the fun, and the reason they end up in a roundup like this. 😉
Anyway, October has been a FANTASTIC month for the AmigaOS 4 community, I dare to state that. It will be hard to top this for a while, I think!
Without further ado, let’s dive into what October was like in the world of AmigaOS 4!

A new build of FFmpeg 8.0 from Michael Trebilcock has been released. This one will only run on the A1222, but it is not e500 / SPE optimized. Despite this, it is significantly faster than the generic FPU build when run on the A1222.
FFmpeg is a very fast video and audio converter that can also grab from a live audio/video source. It can also convert between arbitrary sample rates and resize video on the fly with a high quality polyphase filter.

Screenshot by PuniKikems is back with version 1.0R7 of the next generation pixel editor for Amiga called Pixy. The original concept was created by Sinisrus, who worked on it in the years 2016 to 2020. Kimens from AmigaWave is now improving it further.
Pixy is a drawing program dedicated to pixel art and graphics with alpha channel transparency. It allows you to create several animations in a single project, and each image of each animation sequence contains its own layers. This makes it possible to work on all the animations of a character when creating video games, for example. The interface is intentionally inspired by Photoshop.
More information about Pixy, as well as a download, can be found here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mui-vim/On Aminet, we can also see that A. Pankalla has released a set of special mouse drivers. He writes as follows:
This mouse drivers based on open-source code from diverse authors and was changed in two manners.
First, some functions are changed, because they deprecrated and second i changed some lines of codes to fit to severale mouse types. The changed source code you find in the source directory, it is based on the xero-driver from W. Hosemann. You can recompile it with different constants to genrate the special drivers.
The main new function of the driver’s is to provide a possibility to scroll also in horizontal direction, this is usesd, for example, in the directory windows or the notepad. This function is mapped to special hardware buttons. Check the hardware id’s with tools like usbinspector or devinfos(ng). the driver only works with this deticated hardware!

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – October 2025
Introduction
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting my blog, and for checking out this new issue of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
My A1222+. Photo by Puni.If you are new to this series (hi, and welcome!), it’s essentially a summary that covers the previous month’s news related to the AmigaOS 4 platform.
This month, October, has been jam-packed with events and news, almost too much to keep up with! News is spread on many channels, so there is a lot to keep track of, but that is part of the fun, and the reason they end up in a roundup like this. 😉
Anyway, October has been a FANTASTIC month for the AmigaOS 4 community, I dare to state that. It will be hard to top this for a while, I think!
Without further ado, let’s dive into what October was like in the world of AmigaOS 4!

This makes it possible to work on all the animations of a character when creating video games, for example. The interface is intentionally inspired by Photoshop.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mui-vim/On Aminet, we can also see that A. Pankalla has released a set of special mouse drivers. He writes as follows:
This mouse drivers based on open-source code from diverse authors and was changed in two manners.
First, some functions are changed, because they deprecrated and second i changed some lines of codes to fit to severale mouse types. The changed source code you find in the source directory, it is based on the xero-driver from W. Hosemann. You can recompile it with different constants to genrate the special drivers.
The main new function of the driver’s is to provide a possibility to scroll also in horizontal direction, this is usesd, for example, in the directory windows or the notepad. This function is mapped to special hardware buttons. Check the hardware id’s with tools like usbinspector or devinfos(ng). the driver only works with this deticated hardware!

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – October 2025
Introduction
Hi everyone,
Thanks for visiting my blog, and for checking out this new issue of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup!
My A1222+. Photo by Puni.If you are new to this series (hi, and welcome!), it’s essentially a summary that covers the previous month’s news related to the AmigaOS 4 platform.
This month, October, has been jam-packed with events and news, almost too much to keep up with! News is spread on many channels, so there is a lot to keep track of, but that is part of the fun, and the reason they end up in a roundup like this. 😉
Anyway, October has been a FANTASTIC month for the AmigaOS 4 community, I dare to state that. It will be hard to top this for a while, I think!
Without further ado, let’s dive into what October was like in the world of AmigaOS 4!

Screenshot by PuniIn a field of stacked stones, your target is to eliminate groups of stones of the same color. Thereby, the other stones will fall down and form new groups. The game ends when no more groups can be eliminated.
The game works very well, and I enjoyed testing it. I recommend that you give it a try if you enjoy puzzle games like this!

A reimplementation of the ‘Installer’ utility included with AmigaOS as of version 2.1. InstallerLG aims to be fully compatible with the original as described in the V44.10 documentation. Most resource limitations found in the Commodore implementation are gone, and the GUI has been replaced by a MUI / Zune based one.

The text editor Vim has also received an update from Ola Söder, bumping it to 9.1.1869. It is available for download from Aminet:
https://os4.aminet.net/package/text/edit/Vim_9.1-ppc-amigaos
Vim is a highly configurable text editor built to make creating and changing any kind of text very efficient. Vim is rock stable and is continuously being developed to become even better. Among its features are:
persistent, multi-level undo tree
extensive plugin system
support for hundreds of programming languages and file formats
powerful search and replace
integrates with many toolsPlease note that this is not a straight port of the upstream version. It includes a full MUI GUI with most of the bells and whistles found in Vim on any of the major platforms.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/mui-vim/On Aminet, we can also see that A. Pankalla has released a set of special mouse drivers. He writes as follows:
This mouse drivers based on open-source code from diverse authors and was changed in two manners.
First, some functions are changed, because they deprecrated and second i changed some lines of codes to fit to severale mouse types. The changed source code you find in the source directory, it is based on the xero-driver from W. Hosemann. You can recompile it with different constants to genrate the special drivers.
The main new function of the driver’s is to provide a possibility to scroll also in horizontal direction, this is usesd, for example, in the directory windows or the notepad. This function is mapped to special hardware buttons. Check the hardware id’s with tools like usbinspector or devinfos(ng). the driver only works with this deticated hardware!

L’infolettre du 13 octobre 2025 : les Mondiaux de gravel, la fin d’Israel Premier Tech…
Les Mondiaux de gravel ne représentent toujours pas la discipline
Tadej Pogacar champion du monde sur route, cela semble une évidence. Jenny Risveds et Alan Hatherly en arc-en-ciel sur le VTT, aussi. Mais Florian Vermeersch, spécialiste de la route, qui dispute deux courses de gravel par an, en tant que champion du monde de gravel ? Lorena Wiebes, qui a glané 25 succès sur la route cette saison, avec le maillot irisé d’une discipline qu’elle côtoie deux à trois fois chaque année ? Oui, les championnats du monde de gravel organisés par l’Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) n’ont pas la même aura que sur les autres disciplines. Ils sont une porte d’entrée à un autre public, habitué à la route. Ils permettent à ceux qui fréquentent les pelotons le reste de la saison de s’essayer à un exercice plus libre et plus “fun”. Mais ils ne représentent en rien l’habituelle hiérarchie qui s’établit au cours du reste de l’année, aux quatre coins du monde.
Florian Vermeersch et Lorena Wiebes ont mérité leur titre au vu des courses disputées ce week-end du côté de Maastricht (bien que la course féminine soit sujette à discussion, avec une vainqueure bien aidée par le soutien surprise d’une compatriote, Yara Kastelijn, qui a rattrapé dans les 200 derniers mètres une autre compatriote partie onze kilomètres plus tôt, Shirin van Anrooij). Mais que représentent ces titres quand une large partie des cyclistes qui font honneur à la discipline le reste de l’année font l’impasse sur ces Mondiaux ? D’aucuns pourraient arguer qu’il n’est pas rare que des stars décident d’éviter une course au maillot arc-en-ciel en raison d’un parcours inadéquat ou d’un long voyage, comme ce fut le cas cette année au Rwanda pour certains spécialistes de la route. Mais cette fois, on parle d’un pays majeur du gravel qui décide depuis les débuts de ces Mondiaux, en 2022, de faire l’impasse sur ce rendez-vous programmé début octobre : les États-Unis.
Faute de soutien de la part de la fédération américaine de cyclisme, qui ne couvre pas les coûts du voyage jusqu’en Europe (NDLR : cela n’a pas empêché Magdeleine Vallières de devenir championne du monde quasiment à ses frais, malgré un soutien limité de la fédération canadienne de cyclisme) ; en raison également d’un déplacement très lourd en fin de saison ; et au vu de primes très peu intéressantes par rapport aux autres courses disputées outre-Atlantique, bon nombre de représentants états-uniens ont décidé de ne pas participer à ce rendez-vous mondial dans le Limbourg néerlandais. Ces raisons étaient déjà évoquées ces dernières années pour confirmer l’absence des Américains lors des Mondiaux menés par l’UCI, outre des parcours souvent plus taillés pour des coureurs sur route, faute de passages techniques. À tel point que dans le monde du gravel, les courses du Lifetime Grand Prix aux États-Unis, comme l’Unbound Gravel, peuvent être considérés par certains comme des Mondiaux officieux, lors desquels le rapport de forces est inversé : ce sont cette fois les locaux qui dominent, et les Européens font office d’invités exceptionnels.
L’UCI a donc fait son choix : privilégier la présence de vedettes de la route sur le gravel lors de ce seul événement mondial, en fin de saison, pour tenter d’attirer le plus large public possible devant sa course. Mais sans les personnes qui font habituellement vivre la discipline, comment le gravel peut-il vraiment grandir ? Voir Gianni Vermeersch, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Matej Mohoric, Kasia Niewiadoma, Mathieu van der Poel, Marianne Vos, Lorena Wiebes et Florian Vermeersch s’offrir ces titres mondiaux, cela revient à rappeler que le gravel ne peut se défaire de la route, qu’elle n’est finalement qu’un dessert, et que celles et ceux qui se démènent toute la saison dans des structures spécialisées n’ont pas le niveau pour dominer la discipline. Les courses disputées tout au long de la saison, en Europe ou aux États-Unis, démontrent pourtant à quel point le gravel peut être rude, en raison d’une tactique à faire évoluer à chaque virage et des problèmes mécaniques qui peuvent rapidement transformer une course. Mais ce week-end, on a assisté à un spectacle tout autre. Pas mieux ou moins bien, juste différent de ce qu’est le gravel le reste de l’année.

Israel Premier Tech ne sera plus Israel Premier Tech
Cela a été la grande surprise de la semaine : après avoir confirmé qu’elle ne participera pas non plus au Tour de Lombardie en raison d’un risque de manifestation contre sa présence, l’équipe Israel Premier Tech a indiqué lundi dernier que le co-fondateur et co-propriétaire israélo-canadien de la structure, Sylvan Adams, allait “arrêter d’être impliqué au quotidien” et ne parlerait plus “au nom de l’équipe, se concentrant sur son rôle de président du World Jewish Congress”. Sylvan Adams, dans un communiqué distinct, a confirmé cesser “toute implication active au sein de l’équipe”. Un sacré pas pour la formation sponsorisée par le milliardaire depuis 2017.
Pour rappel, Israel Premier Tech ne bénéficiait d’aucun soutien direct de la part de l’État d’Israël, si ce ne sont des partenariats ponctuels avec l’office du tourisme israélien. Le soutien de l’équipe pour le pays du Proche-Orient était principalement liée à l’identité de l’équipe et au soutien équivoque de Sylvan Adams pour le pays dont il se disait lui-même ambassadeur et dont il soutenait l’action sur la bande de Gaza. Ce sont ces positions, principalement, qui ont mené aux protestations à l’encontre de la présence de la ProTeam sur le dernier Tour d’Espagne et sur les courses italiennes automnales. Les partenaires de la structure, l’entreprise canadienne Premier Tech et le fabricant de vélos Factor, avaient indiqué leur souhait de se démarquer de cette image de soutien à Israël.
Que deviendra exactement Israel Premier Tech ? L’équipe ne l’a pas encore communiqué. Elle devrait normalement recevoir sa licence WorldTour au vu de son classement sportif sur les trois dernières années, mais son budget pourrait être largement amputé sans le soutien de Sylvan Adams. Il lui faudra pourtant bien plus que les 15 millions qui serait actuellement son budget pour poursuivre au plus haut niveau.

🏥 Sur la touche
- Le Français Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) a été renversé mardi dernier par un véhicule de livraison sur ses routes d’entraînement en Drôme, a fait savoir son père au quotidien Le Dauphiné Libéré. S’il n’a pas de fracture, le coureur de 31 ans risque de devoir mettre un terme précoce à sa saison, et même à sa carrière. Le père de Pierre Latour a en effet confié au journal que Pierre Latour, sans contrat pour 2026, envisageait de pendre son vélo au clou après le Chrono des Nations, le 19 octobre prochain. En onze saisons professionnelles, il a notamment remporté une étape du Tour d’Espagne, deux titres de champion de France du contre-la-montre et a gagné cette saison une étape des Boucles de la Mayenne.
❌ Sur le départ

- Alexandre Vinokourov Jr., l’un des fils d’Alexandre Vinokourov, a décidé de mettre un terme à ses rêves de carrière professionnel à l’âge de 23 ans. Le coureur a expliqué avoir subi de lourdes blessures ces dernières saisons, l’empêchant de prester au plus haut niveau. “Je peux maintenant me concentrer sur d’autres aspects de ma vie et penser au futur”, a-t-il confié par voie de communiqué, confirmant son souhait d’avancer hors du peloton.
- Sur Binche-Chimay-Binche, la Slovène Eugenia Bujak (Cofidis) a été célébrée par le peloton pour la dernière course de sa carrière. La coureuse de 36 ans s’arrête au bout de douze saisons. Elle a notamment remporté quatre titres de championne de Slovénie sur route et de contre-la-montre, outre un titre de championne de Pologne sur route et de contre-la-montre avant sa naturalisation, mais aussi deux étapes de la Route de France ou encore la Classic Loire Agglomération (ou GP de Pouay féminin).
🖤 Carnet noir
- Le monde médiatico-cycliste a été marqué cette semaine par l’annonce par le quotidien L’Équipe du décès de Guillaume Di Grazia, ancien commentateur des courses cyclistes pour Eurosport. L’homme de 52 ans est décédé à la suite d’un accident lors d’une fête taurine à Langlade, dans le Gard (sud de la France). Il avait quitté la chaîne cet été, par la petite porte, après avoir été suspendu à deux reprises en raison de comportement inapproprié à l’encontre d’une maquilleuse, en avril dernier. Guillaume Di Grazia était l’emblématique commentateur du cyclisme sur Eurosport depuis plus de quinze ans, après le départ de Patrick Chassé puis d’Alexandre Pasteur. Il était également actif sur le saut à skis, le combiné nordique et le football. Eurosport lui a rendu hommage dans une vidéo sur son site internet.
🦸♀️ Maillots
- Malgré l’annonce d’une fusion prochaine entre Intermarché-Wanty et Lotto, l’équipe de cyclo-cross Charles Liégeois Roastery CX, émanation d’Intermarché-Wanty, poursuivra bien cet hiver dans les labourés. Elle a présenté cette semaine un nouveau maillot orange et noir qui sera porté tout l’hiver par Julie Brouwers, Gerben Kuypers (qui passera chez Pauwels Sauzen-Altez Industriebouw le 1er janvier 2026) et Lauren Molengraaf, notamment.
🤑 Économie
- L’équipe Wagner Bazin WB, c’est terminé, si l’on en croit les informations des quotidiens du groupe IPM. La formation dirigée par Christophe Brandt n’aurait plus d’accord avec les sponsors français Wagner Bazin qui continueraient ainsi dans une entité séparée, en France, au niveau continental. Pour la structure venue de Wallonie Bruxelles, il s’agirait d’un adieu au peloton après 15 saisons. Le groupe avait déjà perdu cette saison le soutien de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, structure publique qui fournissait un subside pour la formation de jeunes Wallons et Bruxellois.
- Reconverti depuis cette année dans le gravel au sein de l’équipe spécialisée Classified X Rose, le Belge Thomas De Gendt a annoncé cette semaine lancer sa propre structure, baptisée Breakaway Gravel Team. Une référence évidente aux nombreuses échappées qui ont marqué sa longue carrière sur route. Le Gantois n’a pas encore annoncé qui l’accompagneront dans l’aventure pour la prochaine saison.
- Parmi les nouveautés du calendrier sur route 2026 publié cette semaine par l’Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), une course a attiré l’attention des observateurs : Lyon-Turin. Cette course par étapes de catégorie 2.1 entre la France et l’Italie se déroulera du 1er au 3 juillet, soit les trois jours précédant le Tour de France. Aucun autre détail n’a toutefois pas été dévoilé, mais la course devrait être montagneuse au vu du décor alpestre entre les deux villes.
- Jusqu’ici en catégorie 1.1, le Grand Prix de l’Escaut féminin sera dès la saison prochaine en catégorie ProSeries. La course disputée à Schoten, en province d’Anvers, le 8 avril sera ainsi au même niveau que la course masculine, qui figurait déjà parmi les ProSeries depuis l’apparition de la catégorie dans le calendrier professionnel.
🌈 Sélections
- Belgian Cycling, la fédération belge de cyclisme, a révélé les sélections pour les championnats du monde de cyclisme sur piste, prévus du 22 au 26 octobre à Santiago du Chili. En l’absence de Lotte Kopecky, blessée début septembre, le groupe sera notamment mené par Shari Bossuyt chez les femmes, au côté de Katrijn De Clercq, Hélène Hesters, Marith Vanhove et Luca Vierstraete. Du côté masculin, Lowie Nulens sera le seul sélectionné sur les courses de vitesse, alors qu’en endurance, Jasper De Buyst sera présent avec Lindsay De Vylder, Fabio Van den Bossche, Jules Hesters, Noah Vandenbranden et Milan Van den Haute.
📌 Autres
- Sacré camouflet pour l’Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) : l’Autorité belge de la concurrence (ABC) a plaidé en faveur du constructeur américain de systèmes de transmission SRAM et a suspendu le protocole de test de l’UCI prévu sur le Tour de Guangxi autour des limitations de braquet à un rapport de transmission 54×11. La SRAM arguait que cette nouvelle norme perturbait la concurrence. Selon l’ABC, “la norme ainsi que sa procédure d’adoption ne répondent pas aux conditions requises d’objectivité et de transparence, avec pour effet de générer des effets disproportionnés à l’égard du plaignant”. Si l’UCI impose une telle norme, ou une autre qui serait jugée discriminatoire par l’ABC, une astreinte pourra être imposée. L’UCI conteste ces conclusions et dit regretter que “la sécurité des coureurs ne semble pas être un objectif partagé”. Un appel a été déposé, mais il n’est pas encore certain que le protocole de test pourra être confirmé au Tour de Guangxi, qui débute mardi.
- Le relais mixte a disparu de l’agenda des championnats d’Europe de cyclo-cross : la course qui mettait en compétition six cyclistes de chaque nation (juniors, espoirs et professionnels) a finalement fait son temps sur le championnat continental après seulement deux éditions, remportées par la France puis l’Italie.
À lire, voir, écouter…
- La Wallonie dispose enfin d’un circuit permanent de cyclo-cross : celui-ci est installé à Malmedy, où se déroule chaque année une manche du Challenge Henri Bensberg, qui permet aux amatrices et amateurs du sud du pays de s’essayer à la discipline hivernale. Les coureurs de Charles Liégeois Roastery CX et l’actuel manager du Team Wilink-Ville de Bruxelles Gérard Bulens ont inauguré ce parcours, disponible à toutes et tous. Le reportage de Vedia sur ce circuit est à voir en cliquant sur ce lien.
- L’équipe EF Education-Oatly sait comment honorer ses vainqueures. La Canadienne Magdeleine Vallieres se souviendra longtemps de son titre de championne du monde à Kigali, mais aussi de l’accueil qui lui a été réservé dès la semaine suivante sur le Tour d’Emilie, pour sa première sous le maillot arc-en-ciel. C’est à voir sur la chaîne YouTube de l’équipe EF Education-Oatly.
- Comment Paul Lapeira et Thibaud Gruel ont-ils pu laisser passer une telle occasion ? Alors qu’ils étaient tous deux partis pour un sprint destiné à déterminer qui allait remporter pour la première fois Paris-Tours, les deux Français se sont neutralisés dans les deux derniers kilomètres, tout ça pour terminer… 4e et 5e, derrière leurs poursuivants, dont Matteo Trentin, vainqueur de son troisième Paris-Tours. Le résumé de cette course folle est à voir sur la chaîne d’Eurosport France.

L’infolettre du 13 octobre 2025 : les Mondiaux de gravel, la fin d’Israel Premier Tech…
Les Mondiaux de gravel ne représentent toujours pas la discipline
Tadej Pogacar champion du monde sur route, cela semble une évidence. Jenny Risveds et Alan Hatherly en arc-en-ciel sur le VTT, aussi. Mais Florian Vermeersch, spécialiste de la route, qui dispute deux courses de gravel par an, en tant que champion du monde de gravel ? Lorena Wiebes, qui a glané 25 succès sur la route cette saison, avec le maillot irisé d’une discipline qu’elle côtoie deux à trois fois chaque année ? Oui, les championnats du monde de gravel organisés par l’Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) n’ont pas la même aura que sur les autres disciplines. Ils sont une porte d’entrée à un autre public, habitué à la route. Ils permettent à ceux qui fréquentent les pelotons le reste de la saison de s’essayer à un exercice plus libre et plus “fun”. Mais ils ne représentent en rien l’habituelle hiérarchie qui s’établit au cours du reste de l’année, aux quatre coins du monde.
Florian Vermeersch et Lorena Wiebes ont mérité leur titre au vu des courses disputées ce week-end du côté de Maastricht (bien que la course féminine soit sujette à discussion, avec une vainqueure bien aidée par le soutien surprise d’une compatriote, Yara Kastelijn, qui a rattrapé dans les 200 derniers mètres une autre compatriote partie onze kilomètres plus tôt, Shirin van Anrooij). Mais que représentent ces titres quand une large partie des cyclistes qui font honneur à la discipline le reste de l’année font l’impasse sur ces Mondiaux ? D’aucuns pourraient arguer qu’il n’est pas rare que des stars décident d’éviter une course au maillot arc-en-ciel en raison d’un parcours inadéquat ou d’un long voyage, comme ce fut le cas cette année au Rwanda pour certains spécialistes de la route. Mais cette fois, on parle d’un pays majeur du gravel qui décide depuis les débuts de ces Mondiaux, en 2022, de faire l’impasse sur ce rendez-vous programmé début octobre : les États-Unis.
Faute de soutien de la part de la fédération américaine de cyclisme, qui ne couvre pas les coûts du voyage jusqu’en Europe (NDLR : cela n’a pas empêché Magdeleine Vallières de devenir championne du monde quasiment à ses frais, malgré un soutien limité de la fédération canadienne de cyclisme) ; en raison également d’un déplacement très lourd en fin de saison ; et au vu de primes très peu intéressantes par rapport aux autres courses disputées outre-Atlantique, bon nombre de représentants états-uniens ont décidé de ne pas participer à ce rendez-vous mondial dans le Limbourg néerlandais. Ces raisons étaient déjà évoquées ces dernières années pour confirmer l’absence des Américains lors des Mondiaux menés par l’UCI, outre des parcours souvent plus taillés pour des coureurs sur route, faute de passages techniques. À tel point que dans le monde du gravel, les courses du Lifetime Grand Prix aux États-Unis, comme l’Unbound Gravel, peuvent être considérés par certains comme des Mondiaux officieux, lors desquels le rapport de forces est inversé : ce sont cette fois les locaux qui dominent, et les Européens font office d’invités exceptionnels.
L’UCI a donc fait son choix : privilégier la présence de vedettes de la route sur le gravel lors de ce seul événement mondial, en fin de saison, pour tenter d’attirer le plus large public possible devant sa course. Mais sans les personnes qui font habituellement vivre la discipline, comment le gravel peut-il vraiment grandir ? Voir Gianni Vermeersch, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Matej Mohoric, Kasia Niewiadoma, Mathieu van der Poel, Marianne Vos, Lorena Wiebes et Florian Vermeersch s’offrir ces titres mondiaux, cela revient à rappeler que le gravel ne peut se défaire de la route, qu’elle n’est finalement qu’un dessert, et que celles et ceux qui se démènent toute la saison dans des structures spécialisées n’ont pas le niveau pour dominer la discipline. Les courses disputées tout au long de la saison, en Europe ou aux États-Unis, démontrent pourtant à quel point le gravel peut être rude, en raison d’une tactique à faire évoluer à chaque virage et des problèmes mécaniques qui peuvent rapidement transformer une course. Mais ce week-end, on a assisté à un spectacle tout autre. Pas mieux ou moins bien, juste différent de ce qu’est le gravel le reste de l’année.

Israel Premier Tech ne sera plus Israel Premier Tech
Cela a été la grande surprise de la semaine : après avoir confirmé qu’elle ne participera pas non plus au Tour de Lombardie en raison d’un risque de manifestation contre sa présence, l’équipe Israel Premier Tech a indiqué lundi dernier que le co-fondateur et co-propriétaire israélo-canadien de la structure, Sylvan Adams, allait “arrêter d’être impliqué au quotidien” et ne parlerait plus “au nom de l’équipe, se concentrant sur son rôle de président du World Jewish Congress”. Sylvan Adams, dans un communiqué distinct, a confirmé cesser “toute implication active au sein de l’équipe”. Un sacré pas pour la formation sponsorisée par le milliardaire depuis 2017.
Pour rappel, Israel Premier Tech ne bénéficiait d’aucun soutien direct de la part de l’État d’Israël, si ce ne sont des partenariats ponctuels avec l’office du tourisme israélien. Le soutien de l’équipe pour le pays du Proche-Orient était principalement liée à l’identité de l’équipe et au soutien équivoque de Sylvan Adams pour le pays dont il se disait lui-même ambassadeur et dont il soutenait l’action sur la bande de Gaza. Ce sont ces positions, principalement, qui ont mené aux protestations à l’encontre de la présence de la ProTeam sur le dernier Tour d’Espagne et sur les courses italiennes automnales. Les partenaires de la structure, l’entreprise canadienne Premier Tech et le fabricant de vélos Factor, avaient indiqué leur souhait de se démarquer de cette image de soutien à Israël.
Que deviendra exactement Israel Premier Tech ? L’équipe ne l’a pas encore communiqué. Elle devrait normalement recevoir sa licence WorldTour au vu de son classement sportif sur les trois dernières années, mais son budget pourrait être largement amputé sans le soutien de Sylvan Adams. Il lui faudra pourtant bien plus que les 15 millions qui serait actuellement son budget pour poursuivre au plus haut niveau.

✍ Transferts
- L’information était dans l’air depuis l’été : le Français Kévin Vauquelin quittera Arkéa-B&B Hôtels en fin de saison pour rejoindre INEOS Grenadiers. Le rouleur de 24 ans, septième du dernier Tour de France et deux fois deuxième de la Flèche Wallonne, s’est engagé pour trois saisons avec l’équipe britannique. “Nous pensons que ses meilleures années sont devant lui et nous sommes impatients de l’aider à réaliser son potentiel”, a commenté le manager Dave Brailsford.
- Deux grosses arrivées en vue chez UAE Team ADQ : la Néerlandaise Pauliena Rooijakkers (32 ans, Fenix-Deceuninck), troisième du Tour de France en 2024 et deux fois quatrième du Giro ces deux dernières saisons, a signé pour deux saisons avec l’équipe émiratie, un contrat d’une même durée est signé pour l’Américaine Megan Jastrab (23 ans, Team Picnic-PostNL), habituée des classiques et troisième du récent Simac Ladies Tour.
- Trois Anglo-saxons pour le prix d’un chez Picnic-PostNL : l’équipe néerlandaise a confirmé les arrivées du grimpeur britannique James Knox (29 ans, Soudal Quick-Step) et du vice-champion d’Irlande sur route Dillon Corkery (26 ans, St Michel-Preference Home-Auber 93) pour les deux prochaines saisons. Le groupe masculin sera également renforcé avec le passage parmi les professionnels du Britannique Oliver Peace (20 ans), qui signe un premier contrat pro de deux ans, en provenance de l’équipe de développement.
- Du côté féminin, l’équipe Picnic-PostNL se renforcera en 2026 avec deux jeunes cyclistes : l’Australienne Lucie Fityus (24 ans, St Michel-Preference Home-Auber 93) et la Britannique Robyn Clay (21 ans, DAS-Hutchinson) ont toutes deux signé pour deux saisons avec la formation néerlandaise.
- Le grimpeur néo-zélandais Josh Kench (24 ans, Li Ning Star) rejoindra la Groupama-FDJ l’an prochain, après une saison particulièrement réussie, marquée par des succès sur le Tour de Sharjah, aux Émirats arabes unis, et le Tour de Bostonliq, en Ouzbékistan. La durée de son contrat n’a pas été précisée.
- Retour en France pour la Canadienne Simone Boilard : la cycliste de 25 ans quittera Uno-X Mobility en fin d’année pour rejoindre St Michel-Preference Home-Auber 93, son employeur en 2022 et 2023. Elle a paraphé un contrat de deux ans.
- Le Team Polti-Visit Malta a signé deux nouveaux contrats pour la saison prochaine : l’Espagnol Adrián Benito (21 ans, Extremadura-Pebetero) passera professionnel après cinq succès sur le circuit national cette année, tout comme le Français Dario Giuliano (20 ans), en provenance de la Caja Rural-Alea. Les deux seront sous contrat jusqu’à fin 2027.
➡️ Prolongations
- Engagée cet hiver avec Baloise Glowi Lions, la Néerlandaise Lucinda Brand a prolongé son aventure avec Lidl-Trek, sur la route, jusqu’à fin 2026. Du côté de l’équipe masculine, l’Autrichien Patrick Konrad s’est pour sa part engagé pour deux saisons supplémentaires avec l’équipe au maillot arlequin, alors que l’Espagnol Carlos Verona s’est engagé jusqu’à fin 2028.
- La Cofidis a lancé une valse de prolongations cette semaine : l’Espagnol Ion Izagirre (36 ans) et l’Allemand Emanuel Buchmann (32 ans) ont signé jusqu’à fin 2027, alors que le Français Nicolas Debeaumarché (27 ans) a obtenu une saison supplémentaire au sein de l’équipe nordiste.
- XDS Astana a prolongé le contrat pour deux ans de l’Italien Lorenzo Fortunato (29 ans), meilleur grimpeur du dernier Tour d’Italie. L’Équatorien Harold Martín López (24 ans), vainqueur cette saison du Tour de Grèce et du Tour de Hongrie, a également signé pour deux années supplémentaires avec l’équipe kazakhe.
🏥 Sur la touche
- Le Français Pierre Latour (TotalEnergies) a été renversé mardi dernier par un véhicule de livraison sur ses routes d’entraînement en Drôme, a fait savoir son père au quotidien Le Dauphiné Libéré. S’il n’a pas de fracture, le coureur de 31 ans risque de devoir mettre un terme précoce à sa saison, et même à sa carrière. Le père de Pierre Latour a en effet confié au journal que Pierre Latour, sans contrat pour 2026, envisageait de pendre son vélo au clou après le Chrono des Nations, le 19 octobre prochain. En onze saisons professionnelles, il a notamment remporté une étape du Tour d’Espagne, deux titres de champion de France du contre-la-montre et a gagné cette saison une étape des Boucles de la Mayenne.
❌ Sur le départ
- Après 14 saisons parmi les professionnels, le Français Arnaud Démare (Arkéa-B&B Hôtels) a mis fin à sa carrière dimanche sur Paris-Tours. L’homme aux 97 victoires a décidé de s’arrêter à l’âge de 34 ans, au bout d’une carrière marquée par trois titres de champion de France sur route, deux classements par points sur le Tour d’Italie, outre huit étapes sur le Giro, deux étapes du Tour de France, un Milan-Sanremo, un Tour de Wallonie, deux Paris-Tours… Sans oublier son titre de champion du monde chez les espoirs en 2011. Il restera l’un des meilleurs sprinters français du XXIe siècle.

- Le puncheur français Anthony Perez (Cofidis) a également annoncé la fin de sa carrière à l’âge de 34 ans. Le coureur toulousain s’arrête au bout de dix saisons toutes terminées sous le maillot de la Cofidis. Son palmarès comporte notamment deux étapes du Tour du Luxembourg, la Drôme Classic et la Classic Loire Atlantique.
- Faute de contrat pour la saison prochaine, le Belge Pieter Serry (Soudal Quick-Step) a mis un terme à sa carrière samedi dernier à l’occasion du Tour de Lombardie. Le coureur de 36 ans s’arrête au bout de 16 saisons professionnelles, dont 13 au sein de la structure Quick Step. Équipier modèle, il n’a pas connu de succès individuel chez les professionnels, mais a notamment terminé 3e de la Flèche Brabançonne en 2012, 7e du Tour de Lombardie et 8e de la Clasica San Sebastian en 2013 ou encore 3e du Tour de Wallonie en 2018.
- Après une dernière saison sous le maillot de Van Rysel-Roubaix, le Belge Baptiste Planckaert (37 ans) a pendu son vélo au clou au terme du Grand Prix de clôture de Zele, mercredi dernier. Équipier rapide au sprint, il a notamment remporté le Tour de Cologne et la Polynormande durant sa carrière débutée en 2010 chez Landbouwkrediet, avant des passages chez Katusha-Alpecin, Wallonie-Bruxelles et Intermarché-Wanty.

- Alexandre Vinokourov Jr., l’un des fils d’Alexandre Vinokourov, a décidé de mettre un terme à ses rêves de carrière professionnel à l’âge de 23 ans. Le coureur a expliqué avoir subi de lourdes blessures ces dernières saisons, l’empêchant de prester au plus haut niveau. “Je peux maintenant me concentrer sur d’autres aspects de ma vie et penser au futur”, a-t-il confié par voie de communiqué, confirmant son souhait d’avancer hors du peloton.
- Sur Binche-Chimay-Binche, la Slovène Eugenia Bujak (Cofidis) a été célébrée par le peloton pour la dernière course de sa carrière. La coureuse de 36 ans s’arrête au bout de douze saisons. Elle a notamment remporté quatre titres de championne de Slovénie sur route et de contre-la-montre, outre un titre de championne de Pologne sur route et de contre-la-montre avant sa naturalisation, mais aussi deux étapes de la Route de France ou encore la Classic Loire Agglomération (ou GP de Pouay féminin).
🖤 Carnet noir
- Le monde médiatico-cycliste a été marqué cette semaine par l’annonce par le quotidien L’Équipe du décès de Guillaume Di Grazia, ancien commentateur des courses cyclistes pour Eurosport. L’homme de 52 ans est décédé à la suite d’un accident lors d’une fête taurine à Langlade, dans le Gard (sud de la France). Il avait quitté la chaîne cet été, par la petite porte, après avoir été suspendu à deux reprises en raison de comportement inapproprié à l’encontre d’une maquilleuse, en avril dernier. Guillaume Di Grazia était l’emblématique commentateur du cyclisme sur Eurosport depuis plus de quinze ans, après le départ de Patrick Chassé puis d’Alexandre Pasteur. Il était également actif sur le saut à skis, le combiné nordique et le football. Eurosport lui a rendu hommage dans une vidéo sur son site internet.
🦸♀️ Maillots
- Malgré l’annonce d’une fusion prochaine entre Intermarché-Wanty et Lotto, l’équipe de cyclo-cross Charles Liégeois Roastery CX, émanation d’Intermarché-Wanty, poursuivra bien cet hiver dans les labourés. Elle a présenté cette semaine un nouveau maillot orange et noir qui sera porté tout l’hiver par Julie Brouwers, Gerben Kuypers (qui passera chez Pauwels Sauzen-Altez Industriebouw le 1er janvier 2026) et Lauren Molengraaf, notamment.
🤑 Économie
- L’équipe Wagner Bazin WB, c’est terminé, si l’on en croit les informations des quotidiens du groupe IPM. La formation dirigée par Christophe Brandt n’aurait plus d’accord avec les sponsors français Wagner Bazin qui continueraient ainsi dans une entité séparée, en France, au niveau continental. Pour la structure venue de Wallonie Bruxelles, il s’agirait d’un adieu au peloton après 15 saisons. Le groupe avait déjà perdu cette saison le soutien de la Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, structure publique qui fournissait un subside pour la formation de jeunes Wallons et Bruxellois.
- Reconverti depuis cette année dans le gravel au sein de l’équipe spécialisée Classified X Rose, le Belge Thomas De Gendt a annoncé cette semaine lancer sa propre structure, baptisée Breakaway Gravel Team. Une référence évidente aux nombreuses échappées qui ont marqué sa longue carrière sur route. Le Gantois n’a pas encore annoncé qui l’accompagneront dans l’aventure pour la prochaine saison.
- Parmi les nouveautés du calendrier sur route 2026 publié cette semaine par l’Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), une course a attiré l’attention des observateurs : Lyon-Turin. Cette course par étapes de catégorie 2.1 entre la France et l’Italie se déroulera du 1er au 3 juillet, soit les trois jours précédant le Tour de France. Aucun autre détail n’a toutefois pas été dévoilé, mais la course devrait être montagneuse au vu du décor alpestre entre les deux villes.
- Jusqu’ici en catégorie 1.1, le Grand Prix de l’Escaut féminin sera dès la saison prochaine en catégorie ProSeries. La course disputée à Schoten, en province d’Anvers, le 8 avril sera ainsi au même niveau que la course masculine, qui figurait déjà parmi les ProSeries depuis l’apparition de la catégorie dans le calendrier professionnel.
🌈 Sélections
- Belgian Cycling, la fédération belge de cyclisme, a révélé les sélections pour les championnats du monde de cyclisme sur piste, prévus du 22 au 26 octobre à Santiago du Chili. En l’absence de Lotte Kopecky, blessée début septembre, le groupe sera notamment mené par Shari Bossuyt chez les femmes, au côté de Katrijn De Clercq, Hélène Hesters, Marith Vanhove et Luca Vierstraete. Du côté masculin, Lowie Nulens sera le seul sélectionné sur les courses de vitesse, alors qu’en endurance, Jasper De Buyst sera présent avec Lindsay De Vylder, Fabio Van den Bossche, Jules Hesters, Noah Vandenbranden et Milan Van den Haute.
📌 Autres
- Sacré camouflet pour l’Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) : l’Autorité belge de la concurrence (ABC) a plaidé en faveur du constructeur américain de systèmes de transmission SRAM et a suspendu le protocole de test de l’UCI prévu sur le Tour de Guangxi autour des limitations de braquet à un rapport de transmission 54×11. La SRAM arguait que cette nouvelle norme perturbait la concurrence. Selon l’ABC, “la norme ainsi que sa procédure d’adoption ne répondent pas aux conditions requises d’objectivité et de transparence, avec pour effet de générer des effets disproportionnés à l’égard du plaignant”. Si l’UCI impose une telle norme, ou une autre qui serait jugée discriminatoire par l’ABC, une astreinte pourra être imposée. L’UCI conteste ces conclusions et dit regretter que “la sécurité des coureurs ne semble pas être un objectif partagé”. Un appel a été déposé, mais il n’est pas encore certain que le protocole de test pourra être confirmé au Tour de Guangxi, qui débute mardi.
- Le relais mixte a disparu de l’agenda des championnats d’Europe de cyclo-cross : la course qui mettait en compétition six cyclistes de chaque nation (juniors, espoirs et professionnels) a finalement fait son temps sur le championnat continental après seulement deux éditions, remportées par la France puis l’Italie.
À lire, voir, écouter…
- La Wallonie dispose enfin d’un circuit permanent de cyclo-cross : celui-ci est installé à Malmedy, où se déroule chaque année une manche du Challenge Henri Bensberg, qui permet aux amatrices et amateurs du sud du pays de s’essayer à la discipline hivernale. Les coureurs de Charles Liégeois Roastery CX et l’actuel manager du Team Wilink-Ville de Bruxelles Gérard Bulens ont inauguré ce parcours, disponible à toutes et tous. Le reportage de Vedia sur ce circuit est à voir en cliquant sur ce lien.
- L’équipe EF Education-Oatly sait comment honorer ses vainqueures. La Canadienne Magdeleine Vallieres se souviendra longtemps de son titre de championne du monde à Kigali, mais aussi de l’accueil qui lui a été réservé dès la semaine suivante sur le Tour d’Emilie, pour sa première sous le maillot arc-en-ciel. C’est à voir sur la chaîne YouTube de l’équipe EF Education-Oatly.
- Comment Paul Lapeira et Thibaud Gruel ont-ils pu laisser passer une telle occasion ? Alors qu’ils étaient tous deux partis pour un sprint destiné à déterminer qui allait remporter pour la première fois Paris-Tours, les deux Français se sont neutralisés dans les deux derniers kilomètres, tout ça pour terminer… 4e et 5e, derrière leurs poursuivants, dont Matteo Trentin, vainqueur de son troisième Paris-Tours. Le résumé de cette course folle est à voir sur la chaîne d’Eurosport France.

Dissidenza di sinistra durante la lotta di Liberazione
A Torino, nel 1943, molto attivo nelle fabbriche, con un’adesione quasi pari a quella del PCI (duemila militanti) operava il Partito Comunista Integrale. A partire dal nome stesso, questo gruppo si considerava il depositario del vero marxismo, distinguendosi dal PCI, che sarebbe invece venuto meno ai compiti che si era proposto al momento della sua fondazione. Il Partito Comunista Integrale lavorava per la costituzione di un vero partito “leninista”, formato da quadri educati al rigore ed alla disciplina della lotta. Gli esponenti di spicco del gruppo erano Pasquale Rainone, operaio Fiat, licenziato dalle Ferrovie per la sua attività politica, molto conosciuto nelle fabbriche e nella Barriera Torinese per la sua presenza attiva nelle lotte. Insieme a lui operava Temistocle Vaccarella, di professione cappellaio, originario di Avellino. Essi non condividevano appieno le analisi della situazione (Vaccarella era molto più critico verso il PCI, più intransigente), ma erano accomunati dal medesimo impegno politico nelle fabbriche. Il gruppo pubblicava il giornale Stella Rossa, e i suoi militanti furono i primi a formare, dopo l’8 settembre, le bande armate contro i nazifascisti, rivendicando un antifascismo rivoluzionario, al di fuori di ogni alleanza con le forze borghesi. Nelle fabbriche avevano anche organizzato i loro GAP, distinti da quelli del PCI. Fra i gruppi dissidenti erano i soli a tentare una distinzione di classe tra nazisti e proletari tedeschi, anche se questa differenziazione era sostenuta solo a livello teorico. La critica, dai toni anche molto duri, che rivolgevano al PCI, definito “centrista”, era di partecipare al tentativo borghese di cloroformizzare le masse, attraverso la democrazia, che non era altro che la maschera borghese del capitalismo, allo stesso modo del fascismo. La contraddizione di fondo della loro impostazione politica, che caratterizzava tutti i gruppi dissidenti con l’unica eccezione del PCint., era il giudizio sull’URSS. Il PC integrale si riteneva il rappresentante del socialismo sovietico in Italia: nessuna critica era mossa allo stalinismo e all’URSS, anzi, gli attacchi portati al PCI erano condotti in nome del “paese del socialismo”, del quale offrivano un’immagine creata da loro stessi. Di conseguenza, la critica al PCI investiva l’operato del partito dalla caduta del fascismo in poi. A Stella Rossa non furono risparmiati gli attacchi diffamatori del PCI. Il grosso seguito che il gruppo aveva nella situazione operaia torinese lo rendeva pericoloso agli occhi dei dirigenti del PCI. Al PC integrale erano rivolte le solite accuse di attendismo. Le invettive erano rivolte prevalentemente contro il “sinistro” Vaccarella, ma nei suoi confronti si andò oltre gli attacchi verbali.
[…] Un altro gruppo di dissidenti era quello riunito attorno al giornale Il Lavoratore di Legnano. Legnano era una città a forte tradizione operaia, c’erano nuclei attivi di operai comunisti, che dopo la caduta del fascismo si trovarono su posizioni più a sinistra del PCI. Il gruppo de Il Lavoratore criticava l’accordo politico del PCI con le forze borghesi, ma non metteva in discussione il suo ruolo e accettava la coalizione dei CLN. Essi ritenevano che la lotta del proletariato contro il nazifascismo, dovesse avere un carattere essenzialmente anticapitalistico e non propugnavano alcuna “democrazia progressiva” o “popolare”, ma la lotta prima contro il nazifascismo e poi contro il capitalismo. Rispetto agli altri gruppi, non esaltavano l’URSS. I personaggi più rilevanti dell’organizzazione erano i fratelli Venegoni; Carlo era stato fra i costitutori del Comitato d’Intesa ed in seguito si era schierato con Gramsci. <23 Nel 1942 aveva avuto, al momento della formazione del PCint., dei contatti con Maffi, il quale gli aveva proposto di entrare nel partito, ma egli aveva rifiutato. Il gruppo era vicino al PCI ma era da esso attaccato al pari degli altri dissidenti, in particolare per i contatti avuti con Prometeo e Stella Rossa. Esso fu riassorbito nel partito nel luglio 1944. Molto vicino al gruppo de Il Lavoratore, con il quale intratteneva anche rapporti di collaborazione, c’era un gruppo di esponenti della sinistra del PCd’I formato da vecchi militanti del partito, Repossi, Fortichiari, Mario Lanfranchi, Della Lucia. <24 Essi si incontravano già negli anni ’30 e avevano stilato documenti a volte firmati a nome di un “Gruppo comunista” o “Sinistra comunista”. Essi lavoravano parallelamente agli altri gruppi, con i quali concordavano su molti aspetti. Nel 1943, Fortichiari aveva chiesto di entrare nel PCI dove fu ammesso solo dopo il 25 luglio, insieme a Repossi era stato contattato da Damen e anche da Maffi per un confronto su alcune questioni politiche. Egli non credeva nella politica del PCI, ed era molto critico sull’URSS, ma riteneva possibile cambiare qualcosa solo agendo all’interno del partito.

Angela Ottaviani, La sinistra comunista dai Fronti Popolari alla Resistenza, Tesi di Laurea, Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”, Anno Accademico 1990-1991A livello ufficiale, il Partito comunista tacciava con un termine dall’odore di anatema tutti coloro che si ponevano alla sua sinistra: ‘sinistrismo’, variabile di ‘estremismo’ e, ancora più antico, ‘trotzkismo’. Famoso resta l’infelice articolo di Pietro Secchia dal titolo “Sinistrismo maschera della Gestapo” <296, con il quale alcuni storici hanno ipotizzato si era giustificata dalle pagine de l’Unità la condanna a morte di alcuni leader partigiani di gruppi trotzkisti o antisovietici, ma non solo: il dubbio di una simile condanna pesa anche sulla figura di Lelio Basso, socialista rivoluzionario, tra i più agguerriti oppositori alla politica di unità ciellenista a tutti i costi <297. Scritto peraltro da un esponente di primo piano del PCI sospettato più avanti egli stesso di estremismo interno, esso sembra rivolto anche a un certo sinistrismo proprio di quadri e militanti del partito; in questo caso il termine utilizzato è ‘settarismo’, per indicare un senso di appartenenza tale al partito e alla classe operaia da incrinare la linea stessa del partito. Infatti “L’estremismo entrava più nel merito e proponeva contenuti diversi e tempi veloci facendo coincidere la grandiosità dell’obiettivo con l’immediata possibilità di realizzarlo. Non si trattava tanto di malattia infantile, quanto di intensità della richiesta. Nella realtà avveniva un complicato gioco di relazioni fra settarismo ed estremismo, che dava vita a forme varie di ‘sinistrismo’ “. <298 Significativo, da questo punto di vista, il gruppo milanese riunito attorno ai fratelli Venegoni e al giornale “Il Lavoratore”: “La sola formazione esterna al Pci presente con solidi legami di massa è quella che si esprime attraverso ‘Il Lavoratore’: è un gruppo locale, ed opera nel circondario di Legnano dove il suo ascendente è molto forte. Dal giornale emergono molto forti le riserve sullo stalinismo del Pci, e dai rapporti conservati nell’archivio del Pci si desume anche che un’aspra polemica lo contrapponeva al partito perché quest’ultimo sarebbe stato presente troppo debolmente negli scioperi di marzo [1943, nda]”. <299
Anche se, nel giudizio espresso da Luigi Longo a Roma, il gruppo è orientato in senso estremista, ma non antipartito. <300 E ancora più importante risulta il gruppo bassiano del Movimento di unità proletaria fondato il 10 gennaio 1943 e che per lungo tempo, dopo il rientro di Basso nel PSI (nel settembre ’43), rappresentò l’unica formazione antiattendista in campo socialista <301. La figura di Basso è piuttosto particolare: esponente di un socialismo operaista dichiaratamente rivoluzionario, favorevole all’unità di intenti con il PCI e al tempo stesso critico da sinistra sulle posizioni di compromesso che la dirigenza comunista assume dopo la svolta di Salerno.

Il caso di Milano nel secondo dopoguerra, Tesi di laurea magistrale, Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Anno Accademico 2016-2017«Le formazioni che si svilupparono alla sinistra del Pci e del Partito socialista, oltre a contrastare i due partiti sul piano politico, riuscirono a conquistarsi un seguito alquanto notevole, anche se solo per alcuni mesi. La “dissidenza” di sinistra, se così si può definire, non era tipica di alcune zone d’Italia ma si estendeva su tutto il territorio occupato e travalicava i confini militari per ripresentarsi nell’Italia liberata dalle truppe alleate» <26.
Queste parole aiutano a comprendere quale sia stata l’effettiva espansione e l’incidenza di questo fenomeno, i cui strascichi possono essere individuati a fasi alterne anche per un lungo periodo del dopoguerra.
La nascita di queste esperienze può essere collocata nel periodo compreso tra l’8 settembre e l’effettiva occupazione del territorio italiano dalle truppe tedesche, quando il governo monarchico di Badoglio rese esplicita, ancora una volta, la volontà di proseguire la guerra, questa volta schierato al fianco dell’esercito alleato.
Le agitazioni e gli scioperi che si susseguirono in questo momento di transizione costrinsero le autorità centrali a coinvolgere nell’azione di governo i partiti antifascisti appena usciti da una clandestinità durata vent’anni. L’azione di quest’ultimi, se in qualche modo fornì maggiore legittimità alle istituzioni, venne vista da sinistra come un tradimento rispetto alle aspettative rivoluzionarie delle classi lavoratrici e come un modo per inserire la guerra di liberazione entro gli argini di una non meglio identificata lotta democratica.
«Per il Pci e il Psi non si trattava infatti di mettere in discussione il potere di quella borghesia che aveva convissuto col fascismo nel ventennio appena trascorso, ma di allearsi con quei settori che ne accettavano la guerra democratica. Era in pratica la riproposizione delle guerre risorgimentali per riconquistare l’unità del territorio nazionale, con una differenza sostanziale: questa volta la classe operaia, ormai diventata “classe nazionale”, doveva porsi come forza d’avanguardia e d’esempio alle altre classi» <27.
In questo contesto ebbero dunque gioco facile i proclami oltranzisti che avevano caratterizzato la componente massimalista del PSI e quella bordighista del PCI in seguito al congresso di Livorno nel 1921. Branditi con entusiasmo dalle generazioni più anziane di militanti, queste dichiarazioni ebbero l’effetto di una calamita per quei tanti che non avevano soppresso i propri ideali durante i lunghi anni di dittatura fascista.
Al settarismo di questa componente, che legava alla militanza un forte richiamo simbolico alla tradizione <28, si affiancò un estremismo dettato dalla volontà di fare tutto e subito, di segno differente rispetto alle velleità dei
vecchi militanti. Era la spinta in avanti di quei giovani che intravedevano nella guerra partigiana un’occasione di riscatto, un afflato rivoluzionario che andava colto nella sua interezza prima di essere soffocato dalla reazione delle forze borghesi.
«Dell’aspettativa che la caduta del fascismo travolgesse con sé anche il capitalismo non esisteva soltanto una versione dotta, catastrofica e terzinternazionalista […]. Esisteva anche una versione vissuta attraverso l’immediata identificazione del fascista con il padrone e l’aspettativa di un mondo nuovo, del socialismo o del comunismo (la distinzione fra i due termini, nettissima sul piano pragmatico e di partito, sul piano dei principi ideali sfumava fino a dissolversi)» <29.
L’alternanza tra queste due anime, il cui contrasto non è così netto come potrebbe sembrare, si aggregò nei gruppi dissidenti, pur formando elaborazioni ideologiche differenti: secondo Pavone <30 ci fu infatti chi si attestò su posizioni di attendismo messianico in nome della purezza della lotta di classe, e chi si lasciò trasportare da una sorta di “settarismo militare”.
Nessuna di queste posizioni, d’altronde, era estranea all’humus militante del PCI, ma creò un precedente allarmante nel momento in cui diede origine alla nascita di organizzazioni dissidenti.
Questa “area grigia” della dissidenza faceva capo a una moltitudine di riferimenti ideologici, che passavano dal sindacalismo anarchico al cosiddetto “bordighismo” (i cui confini teorici rimangono molto sfocati) per approdare allo scissionismo trockista. Il “sinistrismo”, come verrà definito dai vertici del PCI, comprendeva vaste aree di delusi dalla politica centrista, e venne pesantemente attaccato dagli organi ufficiali del CLN e dei partiti che vi facevano parte.
La sua presenza e la sua intensità furono tanto maggiori in quelle aree in cui il radicamento dei partiti ufficiali era più difficoltoso, soprattutto nelle grandi metropoli industriali come Torino e Milano. Nel sud Italia prese forma soprattutto tramite la ricostituzione della Confederazione Generale del Lavoro e scontò una forte avversione anche da parte del governo badogliano, laddove la presenza degli alleati avrebbe dovuto garantire un “ritorno alla normalità” tramite una spietata repressione nei confronti dei moti popolari.
Nel Nord, infatti, la contiguità tra le lotte operaie e la guerriglia partigiana aiutò in qualche modo a saldare il mito della liberazione nazionale con quello del “balzo in avanti” delle classi lavoratrici, accentuando anche le aspettative nei confronti di quella che si andava prospettando come “insurrezione finale”; nel Sud, partendo da Roma, l’insofferenza per la monarchia e il nuovo fascismo “mascherato” rinsaldarono la consapevolezza di dover superare le ambiguità della politica di unità nazionale e pretendere da subito alcune priorità: risoluzione delle urgenze economiche dei braccianti agricoli, maggiori agevolazioni in campo politico e smantellamento del vecchio ordinamento fascista.
In certi casi, le parole d’ordine altisonanti e la condotta meno politica e più spontanea di alcuni gruppi dissidenti può sembrare anacronistica o improduttiva ai fini del nuovo orizzonte politico che andava delineandosi in Italia, ma non va dimenticato come questi atteggiamenti fossero sicuramente condivisi da buona parte di quel segmento di popolazione che aveva intravisto nel PCI e nel PSI una concreta prospettiva di rinascita rivoluzionaria a guerra conclusa.
«E’ la voce di piccole sette, di gruppi già “dormienti” e che ora, illudendosi che stia per scoccare l’ora suprema dei conti con la borghesia, esprimono tutto il loro estremismo infantile? E’ un’azione di provocatori più o meno inconsci? E’, se non proprio una maschera della Gestapo <31, almeno una maschera dell’opportunismo attendista? Anche se esistono questi connotati, compresa la provocazione, il fenomeno indica piuttosto che all’inizio della lotta di liberazione emerge uno stato d’animo, tornano alla luce convinzioni dottrinali, tradizioni, impulsi di radicalismo classista, che sono più generalizzabili. Li troveremo per esempio nel Sud nelle file del Partito comunista e del Partito socialista, difesi dai quadri oltre che dalla base, li avvertiamo in nuclei operativi del Nord, tra gli intellettuali, i giovani, li sentiamo trapelare nei dibattiti dei gruppi dirigenti. E non è qui che sia dato di vedere una forte differenza tra Milano e Roma» <32.
E’ più che verosimile che queste dissidenze non costituirono mai una reale alternativa ai partiti di sinistra, soprattutto a causa della loro forte repulsione verso le politiche centriste del CLN, così come è un dato che, allo stesso tempo, esse «non furono in grado di recidere fino in fondo il cordone ombelicale che le legava alle ideologie della sinistra istituzionale» <33. E’ però vero che esercitarono un’effettiva influenza sulle masse più politicizzate della penisola, e il loro contributo di elaborazione teorica fu a sua volta riutilizzato dal PCI per assorbire il dissenso e mantenere una certa credibilità anche sul fronte delle aspettative rivoluzionarie.
I tentativi di questi gruppi di andare verso una piattaforma allargata e condivisa che si ponesse come un reale contraltare alla sinistra del CLN furono per lo più infruttuosi e scontarono, oltre alle divergenze ideologiche, anche una ferma opposizione sia da parte del governo centrale che dai militanti del “centro”.
E non sono ormai più un mistero nemmeno i tentativi (spesso riusciti) da parte del PCI di mettere a tacere una volta per tutte queste voci scomode tramite agguati e omicidi, per lungo tempo attribuiti alla rappresaglia fascista.
L’indebolimento che ne conseguì, unito all’assottigliamento delle divergenze teoriche tra le dissidenze e i partiti ufficiali della sinistra, convinse buona parte dei militanti che un “fronte unico” durante la guerra avrebbe favorito in larga parte una riorganizzazione della società in senso comunista a guerra terminata. L’assimilazione dei gruppi dissidenti divenne realtà anche prima dell’aprile 1945, ad esclusione di quei movimenti, decisamente minoritari, già precedentemente organizzati in partiti e le cui strutture potevano vantare una certa organicità. Il loro contributo subì una rimozione forzata all’interno dell’immaginario collettivo, per poi manifestarsi ciclicamente sotto nuove forme per un lungo periodo del dopoguerra, a dimostrazione del fatto che, se alcune voci erano state poste sotto silenzio, non valeva il medesimo discorso per i tanti militanti di base ancora illusi che l’alba nuova del socialismo non avrebbe tardato ad arrivare anche in Italia, magari accompagnata dalle divisioni dell’Armata Rossa sovietica.

Dissidenza di sinistra durante la lotta di Liberazione
A Torino, nel 1943, molto attivo nelle fabbriche, con un’adesione quasi pari a quella del PCI (duemila militanti) operava il Partito Comunista Integrale. A partire dal nome stesso, questo gruppo si considerava il depositario del vero marxismo, distinguendosi dal PCI, che sarebbe invece venuto meno ai compiti che si era proposto al momento della sua fondazione. Il Partito Comunista Integrale lavorava per la costituzione di un vero partito “leninista”, formato da quadri educati al rigore ed alla disciplina della lotta. Gli esponenti di spicco del gruppo erano Pasquale Rainone, operaio Fiat, licenziato dalle Ferrovie per la sua attività politica, molto conosciuto nelle fabbriche e nella Barriera Torinese per la sua presenza attiva nelle lotte. Insieme a lui operava Temistocle Vaccarella, di professione cappellaio, originario di Avellino. Essi non condividevano appieno le analisi della situazione (Vaccarella era molto più critico verso il PCI, più intransigente), ma erano accomunati dal medesimo impegno politico nelle fabbriche. Il gruppo pubblicava il giornale Stella Rossa, e i suoi militanti furono i primi a formare, dopo l’8 settembre, le bande armate contro i nazifascisti, rivendicando un antifascismo rivoluzionario, al di fuori di ogni alleanza con le forze borghesi. Nelle fabbriche avevano anche organizzato i loro GAP, distinti da quelli del PCI. Fra i gruppi dissidenti erano i soli a tentare una distinzione di classe tra nazisti e proletari tedeschi, anche se questa differenziazione era sostenuta solo a livello teorico. La critica, dai toni anche molto duri, che rivolgevano al PCI, definito “centrista”, era di partecipare al tentativo borghese di cloroformizzare le masse, attraverso la democrazia, che non era altro che la maschera borghese del capitalismo, allo stesso modo del fascismo. La contraddizione di fondo della loro impostazione politica, che caratterizzava tutti i gruppi dissidenti con l’unica eccezione del PCint., era il giudizio sull’URSS. Il PC integrale si riteneva il rappresentante del socialismo sovietico in Italia: nessuna critica era mossa allo stalinismo e all’URSS, anzi, gli attacchi portati al PCI erano condotti in nome del “paese del socialismo”, del quale offrivano un’immagine creata da loro stessi. Di conseguenza, la critica al PCI investiva l’operato del partito dalla caduta del fascismo in poi. A Stella Rossa non furono risparmiati gli attacchi diffamatori del PCI. Il grosso seguito che il gruppo aveva nella situazione operaia torinese lo rendeva pericoloso agli occhi dei dirigenti del PCI. Al PC integrale erano rivolte le solite accuse di attendismo. Le invettive erano rivolte prevalentemente contro il “sinistro” Vaccarella, ma nei suoi confronti si andò oltre gli attacchi verbali.

Nel sud Italia prese forma soprattutto tramite la ricostituzione della Confederazione Generale del Lavoro e scontò una forte avversione anche da parte del governo badogliano, laddove la presenza degli alleati avrebbe dovuto garantire un “ritorno alla normalità” tramite una spietata repressione nei confronti dei moti popolari.
Nel Nord, infatti, la contiguità tra le lotte operaie e la guerriglia partigiana aiutò in qualche modo a saldare il mito della liberazione nazionale con quello del “balzo in avanti” delle classi lavoratrici, accentuando anche le aspettative nei confronti di quella che si andava prospettando come “insurrezione finale”; nel Sud, partendo da Roma, l’insofferenza per la monarchia e il nuovo fascismo “mascherato” rinsaldarono la consapevolezza di dover superare le ambiguità della politica di unità nazionale e pretendere da subito alcune priorità: risoluzione delle urgenze economiche dei braccianti agricoli, maggiori agevolazioni in campo politico e smantellamento del vecchio ordinamento fascista.
In certi casi, le parole d’ordine altisonanti e la condotta meno politica e più spontanea di alcuni gruppi dissidenti può sembrare anacronistica o improduttiva ai fini del nuovo orizzonte politico che andava delineandosi in Italia, ma non va dimenticato come questi atteggiamenti fossero sicuramente condivisi da buona parte di quel segmento di popolazione che aveva intravisto nel PCI e nel PSI una concreta prospettiva di rinascita rivoluzionaria a guerra conclusa.
«E’ la voce di piccole sette, di gruppi già “dormienti” e che ora, illudendosi che stia per scoccare l’ora suprema dei conti con la borghesia, esprimono tutto il loro estremismo infantile? E’ un’azione di provocatori più o meno inconsci? E’, se non proprio una maschera della Gestapo <31, almeno una maschera dell’opportunismo attendista? Anche se esistono questi connotati, compresa la provocazione, il fenomeno indica piuttosto che all’inizio della lotta di liberazione emerge uno stato d’animo, tornano alla luce convinzioni dottrinali, tradizioni, impulsi di radicalismo classista, che sono più generalizzabili. Li troveremo per esempio nel Sud nelle file del Partito comunista e del Partito socialista, difesi dai quadri oltre che dalla base, li avvertiamo in nuclei operativi del Nord, tra gli intellettuali, i giovani, li sentiamo trapelare nei dibattiti dei gruppi dirigenti. E non è qui che sia dato di vedere una forte differenza tra Milano e Roma» <32.
E’ più che verosimile che queste dissidenze non costituirono mai una reale alternativa ai partiti di sinistra, soprattutto a causa della loro forte repulsione verso le politiche centriste del CLN, così come è un dato che, allo stesso tempo, esse «non furono in grado di recidere fino in fondo il cordone ombelicale che le legava alle ideologie della sinistra istituzionale» <33. E’ però vero che esercitarono un’effettiva influenza sulle masse più politicizzate della penisola, e il loro contributo di elaborazione teorica fu a sua volta riutilizzato dal PCI per assorbire il dissenso e mantenere una certa credibilità anche sul fronte delle aspettative rivoluzionarie.
I tentativi di questi gruppi di andare verso una piattaforma allargata e condivisa che si ponesse come un reale contraltare alla sinistra del CLN furono per lo più infruttuosi e scontarono, oltre alle divergenze ideologiche, anche una ferma opposizione sia da parte del governo centrale che dai militanti del “centro”.
E non sono ormai più un mistero nemmeno i tentativi (spesso riusciti) da parte del PCI di mettere a tacere una volta per tutte queste voci scomode tramite agguati e omicidi, per lungo tempo attribuiti alla rappresaglia fascista.
L’indebolimento che ne conseguì, unito all’assottigliamento delle divergenze teoriche tra le dissidenze e i partiti ufficiali della sinistra, convinse buona parte dei militanti che un “fronte unico” durante la guerra avrebbe favorito in larga parte una riorganizzazione della società in senso comunista a guerra terminata. L’assimilazione dei gruppi dissidenti divenne realtà anche prima dell’aprile 1945, ad esclusione di quei movimenti, decisamente minoritari, già precedentemente organizzati in partiti e le cui strutture potevano vantare una certa organicità. Il loro contributo subì una rimozione forzata all’interno dell’immaginario collettivo, per poi manifestarsi ciclicamente sotto nuove forme per un lungo periodo del dopoguerra, a dimostrazione del fatto che, se alcune voci erano state poste sotto silenzio, non valeva il medesimo discorso per i tanti militanti di base ancora illusi che l’alba nuova del socialismo non avrebbe tardato ad arrivare anche in Italia, magari accompagnata dalle divisioni dell’Armata Rossa sovietica.

L’infolettre du 26 mai 2025 : Montmartre sur le Tour de France, un Giro déjà fou…
Montmartre sur le Tour de France ou l’art de s’adapter
Depuis plusieurs mois, les bruits de couloir n’ont cessé de sortir des murs, comme si le secret tentait de s’infiltrer par chaque interstice du mur affiché par ASO, organisateur du Tour de France. Un an après la fête grandiose des Jeux olympiques dans les rues de Paris, la plus grande épreuve cycliste annuelle prolongera la fiesta en juillet prochain. Le champagne allait de toute manière couler sur les Champs-Élysées et avant cela, mais l’organisation souhaitait ajouter au spectacle avec l’introduction lors de la dernière étape du Tour de France de la butte Montmartre, celle qui avait fait chavirer le public lors des sacres de Remco Evenepoel et Kristen Faulkner l’été dernier. Avec non pas une, mais trois ascensions dans les cinquante derniers kilomètres d’une étape bien différente des clôtures de ces dernières saisons.
Selon le directeur du cyclisme chez ASO, Christian Prudhomme, les négociations ont été âpres avec la Ville de Paris et, surtout, la préfecture de police pour parvenir à faire rouler le peloton dans la rue Lepic à trois reprises, avec un retour sur les Champs-Élysées entre chaque passage. Le quotidien L’Équipe évoque même des reconnaissances nocturnes, alors qu’ASO admet un compromis qui n’en est pas forcément un : l’absence de caravane publicitaire, de toute manière interdite de distribution dans les rues de la capitale française. Tout est donc réuni pour assurer le show durant cette 21e et dernière étape du Tour de France, au grand plaisir d’un public souvent dubitatif face au critérium proposé ces dernières saisons aux abords de Paris.
La carte du final de 21e et dernière étape du Tour de France 2025 – Crédit : ASOLes coureurs suivront-ils le souhait de l’organisation de pimenter ce final ? On le dit souvent : le parcours fait une grande partie de la course, mais ce sont les acteurs de celle-ci qui décident finalement de son issue. Et jusqu’ici, les réactions ne sont pas des plus positives, entre ceux qui s’inquiètent de la sécurité des coureurs et les autres qui interrogent le côté sportif. Wout van Aert, l’un de ceux qui pourrait justement bénéficier de ce tracé pour puncheurs, est resté songeur par rapport à cette proposition : “La sécurité est plus importante que tout le reste et ne semble pas prise en compte. Je m’attends à pas mal de confusion…”, a-t-il confié au micro de la VRT. Son équipier Jonas Vingegaard ne disait pas autre chose : “Ce que j’avais vu à la télé était chouette, mais pour 50 coureurs au pied de la côte, pas 150 comme au Tour”. Remco Evenepoel avait également exprimé son inquiétude en avril dernier, lorsque les rumeurs se faisaient plus pressantes. “Ce sera un stress inutile alors qu’on sera tous déjà très fatigués. Et cela risque d’enlever une belle chance pour les sprinters”, avait-il commenté.
Le profil du final de 21e et dernière étape du Tour de France 2025 – Crédit : ASOLe contre-la-montre final entre Monaco et Nice, l’an dernier, annonçait l’envie d’ASO de bousculer les habitudes d’une journée finale dédiée à la fête. Un Grand Tour, cela dure trois semaines, diront les nostalgiques d’une époque durant laquelle les étapes se prolongeaient en demi-étapes ou en exercices d’endurance au long cours. Or, ces dernières années, l’ultime étape d’un Grand Tour, si elle n’était pas un chrono, s’est souvent résumée en une procession à destination des sprinters, pour s’assurer de leur présence jusqu’au bout et pour permettre aux autres d’un peu se reposer les jambes et l’esprit, si cela est encore possible de nos jours. Le Tour de France offrait la quintessence de ce critérium en guise de dernière étape avec une longue promenade jusqu’à Paris, avant une cinquantaine de kilomètres dans les rues de la capitale française pour couronner les meilleurs finisseurs du peloton. Au grand dam du spectacle espéré par le public, alors que les trois précédentes semaines offrent bien plus d’intérêt.
L’idée d’ASO est donc intéressante pour permettre de rallier plus de spectatrices et spectateurs devant l’ensemble des étapes du Tour de France, et éviter un ennui généralisé, alors que les classements semblent déjà figés. Cet ajout de la Butte de Montmartre va logiquement mener à davantage de stress, mais il pourrait également permettre de bousculer le classement général jusqu’au dernier jour. Dans le même temps, on peut comprendre l’inquiétude des coureurs quant à leur sécurité, quand on voit par exemple cette chute sur la 14e étape du Tour d’Italie causée par un pavé de ville rendu glissant par la pluie, dans une rue étroite, dans un centre-ville sinueux. Autant de critères qu’on retrouvera autour de Montmartre, sur la 21e étape du Tour de France. Il reste à espérer que les organisateurs tiennent bien compte des arguments du peloton pour éviter que ce qui doit être un spectacle se transforme en carnage.

Le Giro, toujours indécis, revient à ses traditions
Qui donc aurait pu prédire que le Mexicain Isaac del Toro (UAE Team Emirates XRG) serait toujours en rose, une semaine après sa prise de pouvoir sur les routes blanches de Toscane, et, surtout, aurait accentué son avantage sur ses équipiers et rivaux au classement général ? Le Tour d’Italie est ainsi : toujours indécis. Un an après la domination sans partage de Tadej Pogacar, il Grande Giro, comme le disait l’ancien hymne diffusé sur la RAI, a renoué avec sa tradition de surprise permanente. Malgré un parcours jugé déséquilibré par certains coureurs, en raison d’une offensive montagneuse attendue seulement en troisième semaine de course (contre une seule arrivée au sommet avant cela), les coureurs ont parfaitement utilisé les profils proposés pour faire exploser un classement général qui n’a rien de celui tracé avant le départ en Albanie.
Isaac del Toro en a été le premier initiateur. L’explosif Mexicain s’est retrouvé au bon endroit, au bon moment sur les Strade Bianche vers Sienne, et a profité de sa soif de victoire sur cette étape dantesque pour récupérer le maillot rose, pendant que ses leaders suffoquaient dans la poussière, retardés par une chute de Primoz Roglic (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) et Tom Pidcock (Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team). Le coureur de 21 ans perdait un peu de son avantage sur le contre-la-montre pluvieux de Pise, en ouverture de la deuxième semaine de course, mais il accélérait à chaque sprint intermédiaire “Red Bull” disponible afin d’accentuer son avance de quelques secondes, avec son équipier Juan Ayuso, deuxième. Il se permettait même d’essayer encore de jouer la victoire à Vicenza, face à Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) et Wout van Aert (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), comme si son paletot rose n’était qu’un tricot complémentaire à sa personnalité.
Le lendemain, rebelote : dans les rues étroites de Nova Gorica, Del Toro faisait parler son expérience de cyclo-crossman et évitait les chutes pour récupérer du temps sur la plupart de ses adversaires… et équipiers, confirmant la théorie selon laquelle le Mexicain n’était pas encore le coureur protégé de son équipe malgré sa première place au général. Car si tous les UAE Team Emirates étaient derrière le maillot rose, c’est bien qu’il n’était pas le leader du jour. Et vers Asiago, dans la haute montagne, Del Toro était à nouveau le seul à suivre les assauts des adversaires de l’équipe émiratie, pendant que ses équipiers… prenaient des relais pour garder Ayuso dans le coup. Étrange tactique que celle d’une formation qui veut jouer sur deux tableaux différents sans vraiment apporter son soutien à celui qui a actuellement le plus de chance de s’offrir la victoire finale.
Les surprises ne s’arrêtent pas là. La deuxième place de Simon Yates (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), très discret depuis le début du Giro, la quatrième de Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), au bout d’une parfaite offensive sur la 11e étape, ou encore les retours en verve des Bahrain Victorious (Damiano Caruso et Antonio Tiberi, malgré la chute de Nova Gorica, sont 6e et 7e) et des INEOS Grenadiers (Egan Bernal et Thymen Arensman sont 8e et 9e) promettent une prochaine semaine offensive. Dans les longs cols italiens, les échappées seront légion, et il sera difficile pour les UAE Team Emirates XRG de contenir tous les attaquants, surtout si l’esprit se veut aussi vaillant que durant cette dernière semaine.
Les doutes restent par contre bien présents autour de Primoz Roglic. Le Slovène avait déjà conclu la première semaine de course sur une déception lors de l’étape des routes blanches, qu’il avait en partie résorbé grâce à un contre-la-montre parfaitement géré (malgré une chute lors de la reconnaissance). Le leader de la Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe a perdu du temps dans la chute collective de Nova Gorica, avant de céder naturellement du terrain dans le dernier col de la 15e étape vers Asiago. Épaulé par son éternel second depuis le début de ce Giro, le jeune Giulio Pellizzari, il a tout de même perdu une minute et demie lors d’une journée pourtant à sa mesure, et pointe désormais à la limite du Top 10, à près de quatre minutes du maillot rose. Avec trois chutes en une semaine et un déficit aussi important, l’inquiétude est logiquement de mise. Même si Roglic est un habitué de la poursuite, même si tout peut arriver sur un tel Tour d’Italie, la balance penche plutôt en défaveur du Slovène à l’heure de débuter la troisième semaine de course.
Le classement général devrait de toute manière déjà bouger dès mardi avec une arrivée au sommet de San Valentino (plus de 18 km à 6% de moyenne), puis mercredi avec le Mortirolo et ses près de 13 km à 8%, mais le grand rendez-vous sera celui de samedi, avec le célèbre Colle delle Finestre (18,3 km à 9%), dont les huit derniers kilomètres sont sur du gravier. Du grand spectacle en vue !
Kopecky aura besoin d’une dose de chance sur le Tour
Un mois après sa cinquième place sur Liège-Bastogne-Liège, la championne du monde Lotte Kopecky a lancé sa préparation pour le Tour de France à l’occasion du Tour de Burgos, dernière épreuve du triptyque espagnol de courses par étapes en ce mois de mai. Avec quatre étapes, dont une arrivée en haute montagne sur le Picón Blanco, et un contre-la-montre d’une dizaine de kilomètres, l’exercice devait lui permettre de se tester les jambes sur une couse complète en vue de la fin du mois de juillet.
Après une première étape conclue en troisième position dans un sprint remporté par son équipière Lorena Wiebes, Kopecky a déchanté, le lendemain, sur une deuxième étape marquée par une chute qui a coupé le peloton en deux et contraint la championne du monde à la poursuite. Avec près de deux minutes cédés sur le premier peloton, le classement général était déjà perdu. Car le Picón Blanco n’a pas permis à l’Anversoise de refaire son retard. Sur une montée de plus de 7 kilomètres à 9%, elle n’a jamais pu répondre à la Suissesse Marlen Reusser (Movistar), impressionnante de puissance après sa deuxième place sur le Tour d’Espagne féminin, deux semaines plus tôt. Kopecky cédait plus de deux minutes, hors du Top 10, loin des meilleures grimpeuses du moment, donc.
Le contre-la-montre final permettait à Kopecky, dans son maillot de championne d’Europe, d’un peu se rassurer, avec une cinquième place à 12 secondes de l’indomptable Reusser. Le bilan est donc mitigé pour la leader de SD Worx-Protime. Cette course de quatre jours lui a au moins permis de se rendre compte du travail qui lui reste accomplir pour être à son meilleur niveau dans deux mois.
Battre Marlen Reusser s’annonçait compliqué au vu des performances affichées par la Suissesse sur la dernière Vuelta, mais Kopecky a également montré des signes de faiblesse face à d’autres rivales au maillot jaune comme Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ), Yara Kastelijn (Fenix-Deceuninck) ou les Françaises de la FDJ-Suez, Juliette Labous et Évita Muzic, équipières de luxe de Demi Vollering, leader annoncée sur le prochain Tour. Il s’agissait toutefois d’une course de reprise et Kopecky a déjà montré par le passé qu’elle savait géré son pic de forme à la perfection. La route pour juillet s’annonce encore longue.
Les nouvelles des derniers jours
✍ Transferts
- Le Team Visma | Lease a Bike a signé le Britannique Henry Hobbs pour son équipe de développement à partir de la prochaine saison. Le coureur de 18 ans, actuel champion du monde de la poursuite individuelle chez les juniors, a également montré de belles aptitudes sur la route avec des Top 10 sur Paris-Roubaix ou Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne. “Henry est un coureur tout-terrain: il peut sprinter et rouler en contre-la-montre, et son expérience de pistard fait de lui un coureur intéressant et talentueux”, a expliqué Robbert De Groot, responsable du développement chez Visma | Lease a Bike, par voie de communiqué. La durée de son contrat n’a pas été précisée.
➡️ Prolongations
- David Gaudu et Groupama-FDJ, ça continue ! Le grimpeur français de 28 ans a décidé de s’engager pour deux années supplémentaires avec l’équipe française qui l’a accueilli depuis 2017 (voire 2016 en tant que stagiaire). Il sera sous le maillot bleu jusqu’à fin 2027. Celui qui a déjà terminé 4e du Tour de France et 2e de Paris-Nice espère continuer à “franchir des caps” avec Groupama-FDJ.
- Le Britannique Ben Tulett (Team Visma | Lease a Bike), arrivé l’an dernier au sein de l’équipe néerlandaise, a prolongé son contrat pour deux saisons, jusqu’à fin 2027. L’ex-cyclocrossman de 23 ans, vainqueur cette année d’une étape et du général de la Semaine Coppi et Bartali, espère poursuivre sa croissance en tant que coureur complet, adapté tant aux courses par étapes qu’aux classiques pour puncheurs.
- FDJ-Suez poursuit sa série de prolongations avec l’annonce de la signature jusqu’à fin 2028 de la Française Jade Wiel. Présente dans la structure française depuis 2019, la cycliste de 25 ans a notamment été championne de France sur route, toujours en 2019, et cherche à retrouver la victoire depuis lors.
🏥 Sur la touche
- Victime d’un sérieux hématome au quadriceps droit après une lourde chute sur la 14e étape du Tour d’Italie, l’Italien Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) a dû céder sa septième place au classement général avant d’abandonner avant le départ de la 15e étape, incapable de reprendre le vélo après cette embardée. La durée de son absence des pelotons n’a pas encore été précisée par l’équipe américaine.
- L’ex-champion d’Europe Christophe Laporte (Team Visma | Lease a Bike) n’a toujours pas repris la compétition cette saison en raison d’un virus, et on ne sait toujours pas quand il pourra revenir dans le peloton, a expliqué le directeur sportif Grischa Niermann à L’Équipe. Il sera de toute manière indisponible pour le prochain Tour de France. “On espère qu’il va revenir en forme et pourra bien s’entraîner aussi vite que possible. Mais, pour le moment, il n’est pas encore à 100 %”, a expliqué Niermann.
- Le Belge Jenthe Biermans (Arkéa-B&B Hôtels) a connu une chute dimanche dernier sur la Rund um Köln, le Tour de Cologne, et s’est fracturé le troisième métacarpien de la main gauche. Le coureur de 29 ans a dû être opéré pour cette blessure. Biermans, sprinter puissant, a notamment terminé 2e de la Muscat Classic et 4e du Tour du Finistère et du GP Samyn cette saison.
- Victime d’une chute dans une descente lors d’un stage en Sierra Nevada, en Espagne, le Belge Thibau Nys (Lidl-Trek) a affiché sur Instagram ses blessures au visage. Celles-ci restent toutefois superficielles et ne devraient pas l’empêcher de poursuivre sa préparation en vue de l’été, a indiqué Lidl-Trek à la presse belge. Le coureur de 22 ans est attendu sur le Tour de Belgique, du 18 au 22 juin, avant le championnat de Belgique à Binche, une semaine plus tard. Il pourrait ensuite faire ses débuts sur le Tour de France.
❌ Sur le départ
- L’Espagnol Jonathan Castroviejo (INEOS Grenadiers) a annoncé sur son compte Instagram sa décision de quitter le peloton professionnel en fin de saison. Le coureur de 38 ans, rouleur infatigable et équipier modèle, est actuellement sur le Tour d’Italie au service d’Egan Bernal. Il a remporté dans sa carrière six titres de champion d’Espagne du contre-la-montre, un de champion d’Europe de la discipline et ne s’est imposé que sur des chronos depuis ses débuts professionnels en 2010. Celui qui a débuté chez Euskaltel-Euskadi et est passé par la Movistar a également terminé 15e du Tour de France en 2023.
📅 Programme
- Les prochains championnats d’Europe de gravel se dérouleront le 21 septembre à Avezzano, dans les Abruzzes, dans le centre de l’Italie.L’Union européenne de cyclisme fait à nouveau confiance à l’Italie après l’édition 2024 organisée à Asiago et qui avait consacré le Tchèque Martin Stosek et la Suissesse Sina Frei. Le parcours n’a toutefois pas encore été dévoilé. L’édition 2026 se déroulera à Houffalize, en Belgique, avant Lahti, en Finlande, en 2027.
🤑 Économie
- L’équipe Van Rysel Roubaix a signé un nouveau contrat de quatre saisons, jusqu’à fin 2029, avec Diffusport en tant que co-partenaire de la formation continentale. Elle se nommera désormais Van Rysel Roubaix-Diffusport.
🌈 Sélections
- André Greipel n’est plus le sélectionneur de l’équipe masculine allemande sur route. L’ancien sprinter a posé sa démission auprès de la fédération allemande (BDR). “Je suis reconnaissant de l’expérience engrangée en tant que sélectionneur, mais par manque de temps, je ne peux plus exercer cette fonction”, a-t-il confié dans un communiqué. Greipel avait succédé en 2023 à Jens Zemke, qui… reprend ce poste. Son prochain grand rendez-vous sera les championnats du monde sur route, en septembre, au Rwanda.
📌 Autres
- Sale journée pour Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) sur la manche de la Coupe du monde de VTT à Novo Mesto, en République tchèque. Le coureur néerlandais a connu deux chutes dès le premier tour de la course de cross-country et a finalement abandonné quelques minutes plus tard, trop loin de la tête de course. Cette première expérience de la saison n’a finalement pas été fructueuse pour Van der Poel qui ne devrait pas revenir en VTT d’ici au mois d’août, après le Tour de France. Bref, cela s’annonce compliqué en vue de la conquête du titre mondial de cross-country fin août.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2025
Hi,
Welcome to a new edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! 🙂
The month of May has arrived. Spring is in the air! It is time to look at what has been happening in the community during April.
Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. Hope you’ll enjoy the news!
Software News
First up is some gaming news! Hold on to your horses!
Warcraft-2-Engine: Stratagus 3.3.3 for AmigaOS 4
Press release from amiga-news.de
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerAlinea Computer is pleased to be able to offer another port by Steffen Häuser. Steffen has taken care of the porting of the latest version 3.3.3 and the installation routines for easy installation under AmigaOS 4. Stratagus is the port of the engine in version 3.3.3, which makes it possible to play the game Warcraft 2 from Blizzard Entertainment natively on the Amiga under AmigaOS 4.
The archive contains an installer with which it is possible to install the game directly from the PC CD without pre-installing it on the PC. At least for the Warcraft 2 Classic PC CD, for the Battle.Net CD or the Gog version it is necessary to unpack a file with a Windows tool, but with the Classic CD you can install directly on the Amiga.
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerWarcraft 2 is one of the most famous strategy games of all time, practically the prequel to the famous MMO “World of Warcraft”. In addition to the base game “Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness”, the add-on CD “Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal” (already included in the Battle.Net CD and Gog version) is also supported.
Stratagus is based on the current “latest Git” version of the Stratagus project (version 3.3.3). In contrast to an earlier implementation, 3.3.3 offers the following features:
- Iconic game music and not just sound effects (the music files are only installed with the Warcraft 2 Classic CD and the Battle.net CD, but can be copied manually afterwards when using the Gog version).
- The game’s video sequences (video sequences not available on AmigaOne A1222)
- A functional level editor
- Numerous bug fixes
Of course, the localisation of Warcraft 2 into different languages is also supported.
Stratagus is under GPL licence, the source code of the Amiga version will be integrated into the github of the PC version in the foreseeable future, but is also available as a request by e-mail (see readme for details).
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerThe minimum requirements for Stratagus are:
A computer with AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 or higher
Special executables optimised for the respective platforms (x1000, x5000, Sam 440, Sam 460, G3 and A1222) can be selected during installation.https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Software/Amiga-Games/Stratagus-3-3-3-for-AmigaOS-4::1412.html
Juan Carlos Herrán Martín is an active software developer for platforms like AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, and AROS. We’ve seen many releases from him in the earlier monthly roundups. Now he is back with a new version of the game Los Malditos. It is a free adaption of the mythical books from Timun Mas from the 1980s and 1990s. These books are related to Dungeons & Dragons. The author is a fan of these works. It is now available for download at OS4Depot.
Improvements since the previous version:
- Improved on-screen text
- Improvement of the game speed, removing the delay refresh in the game window
- Bugs fixed
- Removed the option to exit the game when you are in a fight and you are in places preventing you from running away from the enemy
- New cover
- The game has been made free, but donations are welcome
He also released version Final2 of High-Low-Equal Poker. This is a special version to promote the game Los Malditos del Valle del Cerro and a way to show the possibilities of his games to promote magazines, books, movies, and other games and programs, even hardware.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier version- The game has the exclusive Baphomet deck with the Heroes from the game “Los Malditos’ del Valle del Cerro”
- Bug fixed with card engine
- Two game modes: A=1 Ace equals 1 and Poker A>K Ace as in poker is the highest card
- Now the game cans open and play with Baphomet decks
- New screen to exit the game instead of the window requester
- Small improvements
If that was not enough, he updated his utility Cards Making Kit to version 2.20. With this program, you can make your decks for the following games:
- HLE Poker Card (High-Low-Equal Poker Card)
- BlackJuan
- Siete y Media
- Baccarat
- BlackIvan Card
You can make your decks using pictures from your family, pets, hobbies, etc.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionHere is another one from the same author. Version 2.05 of a game called Baccarat has been released. This is a tribute to the mythical card game, popularized by the James Bond movie Dr. No with Sean Connery. The author has added a new exit cover (more James Bond style), and fixed a bug with the Baphomet decks and the overload in the game screen that slowed down the game.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionBlackjuan Poker Card has been updated to version 2.00. This is another card game from the author above. The development of the game started back in 2012. This release includes new graphics and bug fixes. The game now supports Baphomet decks.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionLast, but not least, he has updated the game Siete y Media to version 2.00. This is a Spanish Blackjack version with a Spanish deck of 40 cards. The aim of the game is not to get 21 which is common in Blackjack, but the sum of 7.5. You can read more about this in the readme. An SDK is included for those interested in making their decks of cards.

Amifish is a chess program made to play chess with Amiga-like systems. It exploits the power of one of the most powerful chess engines in the world: Stockfish. This engine was developed by Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, Joona Kiiski, and Gary Linscott. A chess engine is a console program that plays chess, receiving strings as commands and producing strings in output as a result of computation. Stockfish and many other engines are compatible with a standard named UCI (Universal Chess Interface). The name Amifish is obtained by joining the words ‘Amiga’ and ‘Stockfish’. However, the project is open to all engines compliant with the UCI standard. It is a light program for amateurs. It is made to have fun with chess. Only the most important options are implemented. Version 2.1 is out for AmigaOS 4 and can be downloaded from OS4Depot.

Lorence Lombardo released version 1.0 of chklib. It is currently used in the “amiaudcomp” lib project. He also released version 1.0 of flushmem, which in theory flushes all flushable items from memory.
AmiSSL received an update to version 5.20. As mentioned in earlier editions of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup, the AmiSSL project is a collaborative effort to develop a port of OpenSSL in a shared library for Amiga-based systems. The download is available here. If you are interested in the SDK, it can be found here. It is a must-have if you use AmigaOS 4 to browse the web!
An updated version, 3.4, of the YouTube URL Extractor Script by Michael Trebilcock was released on April 16th. YT.rexx is a script for providing direct video and audio links from YouTube URLs. Changes from the previous version include:
3.4 – 16th Apr 2025:
- Compatibility fixes.
- Removed MEDIACONNECT client as it was no longer supported.

That was the software news for this time. Now let us move over to hardware! 🙂
Hardware
I first heard about the new PPC hardware on Discord and was very surprised, to say the least! amiga-news.de has an extensive article about the subject. It will explain the project much better than I would be able to do. 🙂 I recommend you pop over to them and have a look at what this new PPC hardware is about.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2025
Hi,
Welcome to a new edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! 🙂
The month of May has arrived. Spring is in the air! It is time to look at what has been happening in the community during April.
Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. Hope you’ll enjoy the news!
Software News
First up is some gaming news! Hold on to your horses!
Warcraft-2-Engine: Stratagus 3.3.3 for AmigaOS 4
Press release from amiga-news.de
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerAlinea Computer is pleased to be able to offer another port by Steffen Häuser. Steffen has taken care of the porting of the latest version 3.3.3 and the installation routines for easy installation under AmigaOS 4. Stratagus is the port of the engine in version 3.3.3, which makes it possible to play the game Warcraft 2 from Blizzard Entertainment natively on the Amiga under AmigaOS 4.
The archive contains an installer with which it is possible to install the game directly from the PC CD without pre-installing it on the PC. At least for the Warcraft 2 Classic PC CD, for the Battle.Net CD or the Gog version it is necessary to unpack a file with a Windows tool, but with the Classic CD you can install directly on the Amiga.
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerWarcraft 2 is one of the most famous strategy games of all time, practically the prequel to the famous MMO “World of Warcraft”. In addition to the base game “Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness”, the add-on CD “Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal” (already included in the Battle.Net CD and Gog version) is also supported.
Stratagus is based on the current “latest Git” version of the Stratagus project (version 3.3.3). In contrast to an earlier implementation, 3.3.3 offers the following features:
- Iconic game music and not just sound effects (the music files are only installed with the Warcraft 2 Classic CD and the Battle.net CD, but can be copied manually afterwards when using the Gog version).
- The game’s video sequences (video sequences not available on AmigaOne A1222)
- A functional level editor
- Numerous bug fixes
Of course, the localisation of Warcraft 2 into different languages is also supported.
Stratagus is under GPL licence, the source code of the Amiga version will be integrated into the github of the PC version in the foreseeable future, but is also available as a request by e-mail (see readme for details).
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerThe minimum requirements for Stratagus are:
A computer with AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 or higher
Special executables optimised for the respective platforms (x1000, x5000, Sam 440, Sam 460, G3 and A1222) can be selected during installation.https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Software/Amiga-Games/Stratagus-3-3-3-for-AmigaOS-4::1412.html

Amifish is a chess program made to play chess with Amiga-like systems. It exploits the power of one of the most powerful chess engines in the world: Stockfish. This engine was developed by Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, Joona Kiiski, and Gary Linscott. A chess engine is a console program that plays chess, receiving strings as commands and producing strings in output as a result of computation. Stockfish and many other engines are compatible with a standard named UCI (Universal Chess Interface). The name Amifish is obtained by joining the words ‘Amiga’ and ‘Stockfish’. However, the project is open to all engines compliant with the UCI standard. It is a light program for amateurs. It is made to have fun with chess. Only the most important options are implemented. Version 2.1 is out for AmigaOS 4 and can be downloaded from OS4Depot.

That was the software news for this time. Now let us move over to hardware! 🙂
Hardware
I first heard about the new PPC hardware on Discord and was very surprised, to say the least! amiga-news.de has an extensive article about the subject. It will explain the project much better than I would be able to do. 🙂 I recommend you pop over to them and have a look at what this new PPC hardware is about.

Amifish is a chess program made to play chess with Amiga-like systems. It exploits the power of one of the most powerful chess engines in the world: Stockfish. This engine was developed by Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, Joona Kiiski, and Gary Linscott. A chess engine is a console program that plays chess, receiving strings as commands and producing strings in output as a result of computation. Stockfish and many other engines are compatible with a standard named UCI (Universal Chess Interface). The name Amifish is obtained by joining the words ‘Amiga’ and ‘Stockfish’. However, the project is open to all engines compliant with the UCI standard. It is a light program for amateurs. It is made to have fun with chess. Only the most important options are implemented. Version 2.1 is out for AmigaOS 4 and can be downloaded from OS4Depot.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2025
Hi,
Welcome to a new edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! 🙂
The month of May has arrived. Spring is in the air! It is time to look at what has been happening in the community during April.
Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. Hope you’ll enjoy the news!
Software News
First up is some gaming news! Hold on to your horses!
Warcraft-2-Engine: Stratagus 3.3.3 for AmigaOS 4
Press release from amiga-news.de
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerAlinea Computer is pleased to be able to offer another port by Steffen Häuser. Steffen has taken care of the porting of the latest version 3.3.3 and the installation routines for easy installation under AmigaOS 4. Stratagus is the port of the engine in version 3.3.3, which makes it possible to play the game Warcraft 2 from Blizzard Entertainment natively on the Amiga under AmigaOS 4.
The archive contains an installer with which it is possible to install the game directly from the PC CD without pre-installing it on the PC. At least for the Warcraft 2 Classic PC CD, for the Battle.Net CD or the Gog version it is necessary to unpack a file with a Windows tool, but with the Classic CD you can install directly on the Amiga.
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerWarcraft 2 is one of the most famous strategy games of all time, practically the prequel to the famous MMO “World of Warcraft”. In addition to the base game “Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness”, the add-on CD “Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal” (already included in the Battle.Net CD and Gog version) is also supported.
Stratagus is based on the current “latest Git” version of the Stratagus project (version 3.3.3). In contrast to an earlier implementation, 3.3.3 offers the following features:
- Iconic game music and not just sound effects (the music files are only installed with the Warcraft 2 Classic CD and the Battle.net CD, but can be copied manually afterwards when using the Gog version).
- The game’s video sequences (video sequences not available on AmigaOne A1222)
- A functional level editor
- Numerous bug fixes
Of course, the localisation of Warcraft 2 into different languages is also supported.
Stratagus is under GPL licence, the source code of the Amiga version will be integrated into the github of the PC version in the foreseeable future, but is also available as a request by e-mail (see readme for details).
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerThe minimum requirements for Stratagus are:
A computer with AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 or higher
Special executables optimised for the respective platforms (x1000, x5000, Sam 440, Sam 460, G3 and A1222) can be selected during installation.https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Software/Amiga-Games/Stratagus-3-3-3-for-AmigaOS-4::1412.html
Juan Carlos Herrán Martín is an active software developer for platforms like AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, and AROS. We’ve seen many releases from him in the earlier monthly roundups. Now he is back with a new version of the game Los Malditos. It is a free adaption of the mythical books from Timun Mas from the 1980s and 1990s. These books are related to Dungeons & Dragons. The author is a fan of these works. It is now available for download at OS4Depot.

- The game has been made free, but donations are welcome
He also released version Final2 of High-Low-Equal Poker. This is a special version to promote the game Los Malditos del Valle del Cerro and a way to show the possibilities of his games to promote magazines, books, movies, and other games and programs, even hardware.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier version- The game has the exclusive Baphomet deck with the Heroes from the game “Los Malditos’ del Valle del Cerro”
- Bug fixed with card engine
- Two game modes: A=1 Ace equals 1 and Poker A>K Ace as in poker is the highest card
- Now the game cans open and play with Baphomet decks
- New screen to exit the game instead of the window requester
- Small improvements
If that was not enough, he updated his utility Cards Making Kit to version 2.20. With this program, you can make your decks for the following games:
- HLE Poker Card (High-Low-Equal Poker Card)
- BlackJuan
- Siete y Media
- Baccarat
- BlackIvan Card
You can make your decks using pictures from your family, pets, hobbies, etc.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionHere is another one from the same author. Version 2.05 of a game called Baccarat has been released. This is a tribute to the mythical card game, popularized by the James Bond movie Dr. No with Sean Connery. The author has added a new exit cover (more James Bond style), and fixed a bug with the Baphomet decks and the overload in the game screen that slowed down the game.

AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup – April 2025
Hi,
Welcome to a new edition of the AmigaOS 4 Monthly Roundup! 🙂
The month of May has arrived. Spring is in the air! It is time to look at what has been happening in the community during April.
Thanks for reading and for visiting my blog. Hope you’ll enjoy the news!
Software News
First up is some gaming news! Hold on to your horses!
Warcraft-2-Engine: Stratagus 3.3.3 for AmigaOS 4
Press release from amiga-news.de
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerAlinea Computer is pleased to be able to offer another port by Steffen Häuser. Steffen has taken care of the porting of the latest version 3.3.3 and the installation routines for easy installation under AmigaOS 4. Stratagus is the port of the engine in version 3.3.3, which makes it possible to play the game Warcraft 2 from Blizzard Entertainment natively on the Amiga under AmigaOS 4.
The archive contains an installer with which it is possible to install the game directly from the PC CD without pre-installing it on the PC. At least for the Warcraft 2 Classic PC CD, for the Battle.Net CD or the Gog version it is necessary to unpack a file with a Windows tool, but with the Classic CD you can install directly on the Amiga.
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerWarcraft 2 is one of the most famous strategy games of all time, practically the prequel to the famous MMO “World of Warcraft”. In addition to the base game “Warcraft 2: Tides of Darkness”, the add-on CD “Warcraft 2: Beyond the Dark Portal” (already included in the Battle.Net CD and Gog version) is also supported.
Stratagus is based on the current “latest Git” version of the Stratagus project (version 3.3.3). In contrast to an earlier implementation, 3.3.3 offers the following features:
- Iconic game music and not just sound effects (the music files are only installed with the Warcraft 2 Classic CD and the Battle.net CD, but can be copied manually afterwards when using the Gog version).
- The game’s video sequences (video sequences not available on AmigaOne A1222)
- A functional level editor
- Numerous bug fixes
Of course, the localisation of Warcraft 2 into different languages is also supported.
Stratagus is under GPL licence, the source code of the Amiga version will be integrated into the github of the PC version in the foreseeable future, but is also available as a request by e-mail (see readme for details).
Picture from the webshop of Alinea ComputerThe minimum requirements for Stratagus are:
A computer with AmigaOS 4.1 FE Update 2 or higher
Special executables optimised for the respective platforms (x1000, x5000, Sam 440, Sam 460, G3 and A1222) can be selected during installation.https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Software/Amiga-Games/Stratagus-3-3-3-for-AmigaOS-4::1412.html
Juan Carlos Herrán Martín is an active software developer for platforms like AmigaOS 4, MorphOS, and AROS. We’ve seen many releases from him in the earlier monthly roundups. Now he is back with a new version of the game Los Malditos. It is a free adaption of the mythical books from Timun Mas from the 1980s and 1990s. These books are related to Dungeons & Dragons. The author is a fan of these works. It is now available for download at OS4Depot.
Improvements since the previous version:
- Improved on-screen text
- Improvement of the game speed, removing the delay refresh in the game window
- Bugs fixed
- Removed the option to exit the game when you are in a fight and you are in places preventing you from running away from the enemy
- New cover
- The game has been made free, but donations are welcome
He also released version Final2 of High-Low-Equal Poker. This is a special version to promote the game Los Malditos del Valle del Cerro and a way to show the possibilities of his games to promote magazines, books, movies, and other games and programs, even hardware.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier version- The game has the exclusive Baphomet deck with the Heroes from the game “Los Malditos’ del Valle del Cerro”
- Bug fixed with card engine
- Two game modes: A=1 Ace equals 1 and Poker A>K Ace as in poker is the highest card
- Now the game cans open and play with Baphomet decks
- New screen to exit the game instead of the window requester
- Small improvements
If that was not enough, he updated his utility Cards Making Kit to version 2.20. With this program, you can make your decks for the following games:
- HLE Poker Card (High-Low-Equal Poker Card)
- BlackJuan
- Siete y Media
- Baccarat
- BlackIvan Card
You can make your decks using pictures from your family, pets, hobbies, etc.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionHere is another one from the same author. Version 2.05 of a game called Baccarat has been released. This is a tribute to the mythical card game, popularized by the James Bond movie Dr. No with Sean Connery. The author has added a new exit cover (more James Bond style), and fixed a bug with the Baphomet decks and the overload in the game screen that slowed down the game.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionBlackjuan Poker Card has been updated to version 2.00. This is another card game from the author above. The development of the game started back in 2012. This release includes new graphics and bug fixes. The game now supports Baphomet decks.
Screenshot by Puni from an earlier versionLast, but not least, he has updated the game Siete y Media to version 2.00. This is a Spanish Blackjack version with a Spanish deck of 40 cards. The aim of the game is not to get 21 which is common in Blackjack, but the sum of 7.5. You can read more about this in the readme. An SDK is included for those interested in making their decks of cards.

Amifish is a chess program made to play chess with Amiga-like systems. It exploits the power of one of the most powerful chess engines in the world: Stockfish. This engine was developed by Tord Romstad, Marco Costalba, Joona Kiiski, and Gary Linscott. A chess engine is a console program that plays chess, receiving strings as commands and producing strings in output as a result of computation. Stockfish and many other engines are compatible with a standard named UCI (Universal Chess Interface). The name Amifish is obtained by joining the words ‘Amiga’ and ‘Stockfish’. However, the project is open to all engines compliant with the UCI standard. It is a light program for amateurs. It is made to have fun with chess. Only the most important options are implemented. Version 2.1 is out for AmigaOS 4 and can be downloaded from OS4Depot.

Best regards,
Puni
