First Tour rest day and we need to take stock. There were a ton of unknowns among the pre-race GC favorites, including the recovery statuses of Vingegaard, Roglic, and Evenepoel, plus a major heat check on the recent Giro winner Pogacar. The latter is what I am focusing on here, specifically how is he faring when compared with other recent Giro winners? How are we to know if what he has done so far is better, worse, or business as usual for a Giro winner attempting to win the Tour? Photo by THOMAS SAMSON/AFP via Getty Images To that end,…

Watch Carlos Alcaraz’s reaction as he beats Novak Djokovic in straight sets to win consecutive Wimbledon titles.
MERE minutes had gone by after Jaron Ennis had swiped away David Avanesyan, as expected, before heads turned to who or what could be next for the IBF welterweight champion. It was Ennis’s first defence of the title proper, first fight under new promoter Eddie Hearn and the first time in six years he had fought in his home city of Philadelphia. Both Ennis and Hearn have their hearts set on a clash with Terence Crawford, the man who unclicked the full IBF title and sent it down the conveyor belt to ‘Boots’ in the first place. Hearn cheekily suggested…

But how much is Bickerstaff getting paid to do this? In this post, we discuss Bickerstaff’s salary, his coaching record, net worth, and much, much more. J.B. Bickerstaff Contract And Salary In…
Dustin Poirier has a list of names. At UFC 302, Poirier fell short in his bid to become lightweight champion, losing by fifth-round submission to Islam Makhachev. Following the bout, Poirier suggested it may have been his final fight in MMA, but in the past few weeks, “The Diamond” has walked that back, saying he still feels the urge to compete. And now it seems all but a forgone conclusion that Poirier will step back into the octagon at least once more. “The shift needs to be internally for what the motivation for fighting is,” Poirier told Jon Anik and…
