Normally WorldTour tier bike launches involve something of a fanfare. Perhaps we get invited out to a team camp, or a standalone launch where the associated bicycle press can test out the new machine, usually with a couple of indentured professional riders there to say how it’s significantly better than anything they have ever ridden and that they cannot wait to ride it for the upcoming season.Van Rysel, famed for its high-value bikes like the RCR Pro, seems to have launched a new aero bike with no fanfare at all, hiding it within a sub-page of its website titled ‘ready…
Fall Report Aaron Fitt – December 5, 2024 CONWAY, S.C. — For nearly three decades, Gary Gilmore set a standard of excellence for the Coastal Carolina baseball program, leading the Chanticleers to 19 regionals (hosting six), three super regionals and the 2016 national championship. He’ll go down in history as one of the great college baseball coaches of his era — but that era came to a close last spring, when Gilmore retired after leading the Chants to one final postseason appearance.But the post-Gilmore transition could not have been more smooth, as Kevin Schnall had been waiting in the wings…
Summer rugby, please. A move to abandon the mid-winter slog should be high on the agenda and it shouldn’t need Darragh or any other storm to justify the idea.Following a wet, wild weekend, it is high time to consider aligning the hemispheres, for the greater good of the game. Doing so would create a more user-friendly playing and viewing experience.There has always been a school of thought that rugby must somehow revel in having to overcome appalling conditions. Why? It makes no sense. When the talk turns to how a ball is like a ‘bar of soap’, it is no…

LeBron James will sit his first game of the year against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday due to left foot soreness. The 39-year-old began experiencing soreness on Wednesday against the Heat. “We’re going to have to play in transition. And I think overall for our team, just getting back to really emphasize trying to get a paint touch on every possession. We were doing that earlier in the year and have gotten away from that and need to get back to that,” said JJ Redick on the team’s game plan without James. Austin Reaves will also miss his fifth…
Merab Dvalishvili doesn’t believe his altercation with a fan at UFC 310 was an accident. On Saturday night, the UFC bantamweight champion ended up in an incident as he was walking backstage after cornering friend and teammate Aljamain Sterling in his fight against Movsar Evloev. Footage captured by nearby fans saw Dvalishvili being restrained by security with fellow teammate and UFC fighter Dennis Buzukja actually throwing punches with the person. The fan was apparently escorted out of the arena with UFC CEO Dana White later calling Dvalishvili his “mini-[Sean] Strickland” due to numerous incidents happening outside the cage, which included…
2024 SHORT COURSE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS While every event at this edition of the World Aquatics Swimming Championships (25m) has some gaps in talent, the women’s backstrokes, some of the deeper events in the world, seem to make out reasonably well. While the absence of Kaylee McKeown is obviously felt, the depth of this discipline makes the women’s backstroke must-see events. While it is highly likely that the same name will appear atop each of our predictions (seeing as I am the one writing this, I can say that the same name will appear first) don’t let that fool you into…
