Chris Froome has weighed in on the discussion surrounding safety and rising speeds in the peloton, suggesting that it might reach a point which requires a “discussion about limiting the progression of technology” to accommodate for the increased risks to rider safety.Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview about the probable final year as a professional as well as the dominance of Tadej Pogačar, the Israel-Premier Tech rider laid out one possible suggestion which could alleviate the safety problem – the limitation of gears. As one of the oldest riders in the peloton at 39, Froome has experienced a…

Al principio se determinaron los juegos atendiendo criterios geográficos: los equipos de la División Oeste de la Liga Americana jugaban contra los equipos de la División Oeste de la Liga Nacional, los equipos de la División Central de la Liga Americana contra… y así sucesivamente. A partir de 2002, la cosa cambió: los equipos del Este jugaban contra los equipos de la Central de la otra Liga un año y contra los del Oeste al…

NBA sportsbooks have released next team odds for six-time All-Star guard/forward Jimmy Butler, and the Golden State Warriors are currently the frontrunner to land the 14-year veteran. During the offseason, Butler expressed his disappointment with the Heat after Miami declined to give him a two-year, $113 million contract extension, a deal that would have run through the 2026-27 season. According to the Miami Herald, Butler was open to signing such a deal early in the negotiating window, but his mindset changed when the extension wasn’t immediately offered by the Heat.

It’s MMA, so anything can happen, Ali Abdelaziz acknowledged. But absent some fluke, he says the next UFC light heavyweight title fight is all but locked up. It’s been the consensus, anyway, that 205-pound champ Alex Pereira (12-2 MMA, 9-1 UFC) will take on Abdelaziz client Magomed Ankalaev (19-1-1 MMA, 10-1-1 UFC) next, but Pereira has made some intimations that the UFC might have other ideas. And Abdelaziz thinks there might be a little gamesmanship going on from the Brazilian. If so, it’s for naught, is what the longtime manager surmises. “Alex Pereira can say whatever he wants. That guy…
Out of the 34 google form responses SwimSwam received, 18 reported that their estimated total payout was “more” than they expected. Six athletes reported the payout to be “less” than expected while eight reported it to be “around the same” as expected. Although a small dataset, none of the 13 mid-major athletes reported Alston payments. Another commonality found in the data is that it seems in order to receive an estimate for “lost NIL,” the athlete also had to earn NIL money as a student-athlete. SwimSwam received estimates from two swimmers late last week after the numbers were posted. These…

Her debut was significant as she earned a paycheck, only the top 10 women and top 10 men sharing in the rich $300,000 purse. She also…

Whilst cricket was ablaze over Virat Kohli’s gentle shoulder charge on his young fan Sam Konstas with ensuing demerit and modest fine, I invoked a polite debate on social media by asking the question: “Which two players – a back and someone in the pack – would each top eight Test team steal from another if they could?”When rugby chatter draws 8000 or so views and substantive posts on the second day of the year there appears to be something to the thought experiment.Perhaps using this indirect interrogatory reveals more clearly the actual needs of a team, even one we…
