Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:21:41 GMT

COMBLOUX, France (AP) — Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard may have time-trialed his way to a second straight Tour de France victory.A sensational time trial from Vingegaard on Tuesday saw the overall leader extend his advantage over two-time winner Tadej Pogačar to nearly two minutes with just five stages remaining — including Sunday’s largely ceremonial, final procession to Paris.Vingegaard, who rides for the Jumbo-Visma team, started the day only 10 seconds ahead of Pogačar after little could separate the duo in a fascinating duel over the last two weeks.However, when it came down to a direct head-to-head battle, Vingegaard was in a class of his own.The Danish cyclist finished the 22.4-kilometer (14-mile) hilly route from Passy to Combloux 1 minute, 38 seconds ahead of Pogačar. Wout van Aert was third at the end of the 16th stage, 2:51 behind Vingegaard.The 26-year-old Vingegaard now leads Pogačar by 1:48 overall and it will take something equally sensational from the Slovenian ...

An Egyptian court hands down 3-year prison sentence to rights activist in case that echoed in Italy

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 20:21:41 GMT

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian court sentenced a rights activist on Tuesday to three years in prison over an opinion article he wrote in 2019 in a case that renewed global attention to Egypt’s intolerance of government critics. The case of Patrick George Zaki has also echoed in Italy, where he was a postgraduate student and where many were reminded of the tragic fate of Italian student Giulio Regeni who was abducted and killed in Cairo in 2016. Amnesty International swiftly condemned Egyptian authorities and said that the image of Zaki being dragged out of a courtroom and taken to prison on Tuesday was “terrifying.”The court in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura convicted Zaki of “disseminating false news” related to an article of his about alleged discrimination against the Coptic Christian minority in Egypt, according to the Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights. Zaki worked with the group as a gender rights researcher.The group, which represents Zaki before the court, said he was ...

LOS ANGELES CHARGERS (10-8)CAMP SITE: Costa Mesa, CaliforniaKEY ADDITIONS: Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, LB Eric Kendricks, WR Quentin Johnston.KEY LOSSES: LB Drue Tranquill, CB Bryce Callahan, OG Matt Feiler, LB Kyle Van Noy.KEY STORYLINES: Moore is expected to install an offensive scheme that features more downfield passing and more consistency with the running game. The Chargers were the second-most unbalanced team in the league last season with a 65%-35% pass/run ratio. While coach Brandon Staley still calls the defense, Derrick Ainsley has been promoted to coordinator after Renaldo Hill left for Miami. Despite a plethora of new additions last season, the Bolts were 20th in total defense and continued to struggle against the run. Ainsley stressed better tackling and play on the edges throughout offseason workouts, which will continue to be a point of emphasis during the preseason. The two biggest storylines though aren’t on the field. QB Justin Herbert is due for a l...

(AP) — With three wins, a lead in the points standings, and a NASCAR championship push ahead, the good times are rolling again for Martin Truex Jr.So why quit now?Joe Gibbs asked himself the same question about Truex as the Hall of Fame owner tries to keep Monday’s winner at New Hampshire in the fold of his eponymous race team for one more season.The 82-year-old Gibbs playfully nudged Truex to make the call soon: Retire or give it another run at JGR.“He tells me the same thing every year, that I’m right in the middle of trying to make this decision,” Gibbs said. “I go, come on, what are you talking about, man? You’re making money, you’re having fun, you’re driving race cars.
