Tour de France Femmes: Vollering’s late escape for yellow leaves Niewiadoma fuming
Victory on penultimate stage secures eight-second lead
Previous leader claims she was blocked by rival’s team
Demi Vollering took the overall lead from Kasia Niewiadoma in the Tour de France Femmes with a vicious attack in the hills behind Nice to lead the race by eight seconds, with one stage remaining. It was Vollering’s fifth stage victory in the Tour de France Femmes and also her fifth yellow jersey and came after she had regretted failing to mount a meaningful pursuit of Niewiadoma on Friday’s summit finish to Mont Ventoux. mieszalniakolorado.pl
Vollering eked out a slim advantage on Niewiadoma on the final climb of the Cote de la Ginestière and after a breakneck descent, extended her lead on the long straight road to the finish on the Promenade des Anglais in Nice.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter gave an update on wide receiver Zay Flowers after Flowers left Saturday's practice early.
Minter said, via multiple reporters, that Flowers suffered a quad contusion when he collided with defensive back Jaylinn Hawkins during the workout. Minter called Flowers day-to-day and said that he does not expect the wideout to miss a significant amount of time.
The injury added to an eventful week for Flowers. He signed a four-year, $140 million extension with the team on Wednesday.
The Ravens will have another padded practice on Sunday and they will host the Eagles in their first preseason game next Saturday.
West Ham sink Pompey in Carabao Cup as Sullivan ignores advice to stay away
In an unseasonable black bomber jacket, with heavy duty company beside him, David Sullivan took his seat. Against the advice of the stadium’s operators, unbowed by serious allegations placed against his name and the weight of public opinion, West Ham’s major shareholder, the former co-chair, sat with arms crossed, always conspicuous by his presence.
By beating Portsmouth in relative comfort, West Ham, the club where Sullivan’s name is no longer above the door, had secured a heartening Carabao Cup passage to the second round. There, they will be reunited with their former Premier League peers. The serious Championship business begins next Sunday at Burnley. Whether Sullivan travels north for that remains to be seen. It cannot be ruled out.

Unos y otros las han pasado canutas en los últimos meses en el plano físico, y las vacaciones de verano se han convertido para todos los contendientes al título en una especie de pretemporada adicional de cara a la batalla que arrancó este sábado en Silverstone. El madrileño Jorge Martín demostró con una ‘pole’ fulminante como en sus mejores tiempos y un triunfo sin contestación en la ‘sprint’ del GP de Gran Bretaña que el parón le ha sentado divinamente. Si bien se mostraba incrédulo por ser líder del campeonato a su llegada a Inglaterra, su portentosa actuación dejó claro por qué está en la pomada con una Aprilia capaz de colocar a sus tres grandes bazas por el título en el podio, segundo Ai Ogura y tercero Marco Bezzecchi, el mismo orden que figura ahora en la tabla del campeonato del mundo.
Stortalent fikset ny Fredrikstad-seier
Fredrikstad tok sin andre strake seier i Eliteserien for første gang siden april med 1–0 over Start.
Et innøvd cornertrekk etter en halvtime ga FFK målet de trengte for å slå tabelljumboen i Kristiansand.
FFK hadde tapt tre strake kamper før det ble 1-0-seier over Sandefjord for en uke siden. Lørdag ble det mer jubel.
Fredrikstad åpnet sesongen med å slå KFUM Oslo og Aalesund, men siden har østfoldingene levert svært ujevnt.
Laget er nummer ti på tabellen før resten av kampene søndag. Start har tre poeng opp til Aalesund på kvalifiseringsplass.
FFK tok ledelsen med et smart trekk etter en snau halvtime. Samuel Leach Holm slo hjørnesparket hardt langs bakken, og inne i boksen fikk Gabriel Wesseh stå helt alene og sette ballen i mål.
Amerikanske Wesseh (18) ble hentet til Fredrikstad fra Atlanta United i juli. Han fikk sitt første mål lørdag.
«Gabriel Wesseh har vist noe helt ekstraordinært de første kampene i FFK-drakta. Her har de henta gull», skrev fotballekspert Lars Tjærnås på X.
Ikke lenge etterpå banket Daniel Eid ballen i stolpen. Start slet med å komme til sjanser og gikk til pause ett mål bak.
Helt på tampen traff Eirik Schulze stolpen i jakten på en utligning, men Start fikk ikke ballen i mål.
FFK møter Kristiansund neste søndag, mens Start har en NM-kamp mot Flekkefjord som sin neste oppgave 22. august.
