Outside the Visma-Lease a Bike bus in Arnuero on Wednesday afternoon, directeur sportif Grischa Niermann was putting words on the latest setback in Wout van Aert’s star-crossed 2024 season. “‘The Tour waits for no one’ is the saying, but apparently neither does the Vuelta,” Niermann said resignedly.And neither, of course, does the UCI Road World Championships. Van Aert crashed out of the Vuelta a España on the descent of Collada Llomena Tuesday afternoon, but even before he had been taken to hospital for assessment, thoughts had turned to whether he could possibly recover in time for the Worlds road race…

It’s also the third championship for manager Steve Englert, who has been with the club since 2003. Getting to that point wasn’t easy, though.

By: Sean Crose TJ Doheny may well have been the first fighter to give pound for pound superstar Naoya Inoue a challenge in the ring since Nonito Donaire put Inoue on the mat in their extraordinary first battle back in 2019. While it’s true, Naoya was pretty much in charge throughout Tuesday’s battle with Doheny, the veteran challenger proved challenging to the unified super bantamweight champion of the world. It was an interesting battle that unfortunately ended too soon. The first round was uneventful for the most part. It looked like perhaps Inoue was puzzled by Doheny’s southpaw jab. Inoue…

On the 17th hole, a…
