Herrada, Bilbao Tie in Historic Race

The "subida a Gorla" race in Vergara, Guipúzcoa, Spain has historically been a stepping stone to professional cycling, with past winners including Contador, Sastre, Landa, Castrillo, and Samitier. In 2010, the race saw an unprecedented finish as Herrada and Bilbao, both 36 years old, escaped the pack and sprinted to the finish line simultaneously. ipl-cricket.in

Without a photo finish system in place, race organizers declared Herrada as the winner, though the uncertainty of who actually crossed first remains. The close finish has become part of the race's folklore, with fans still debating the outcome of this memorable competition.

Nijstad aprieta para ir al Barça y Balde sigue sin contar para Flick

El FC Barcelona no tira la toalla aún en el mercado de fichajes. Y es que el área deportiva azulgrana está pendiente de un joven defensa central, Ruud Nijstad (18 años), que juega en el Twente. El defensa neerlandés es objetivo del Barça para reforzar su zaga dada su buena salida de balón, su envergadura (mide 1,95 metros) y su buena condición técnica para sacar el balón y, también, como demuestra su último golazo, para disparar a puerta.

MLB Highlights: Padres 5, Reds 0

Jesse Minter expresses confidence in Tyler Loop

Ravens kicker Tyler Loop missed field goals of 58 and 51 yards in the preseason finale. He finished the preseason 5-of-8 as he tries to rebound from the 44-yard miss that ended the Ravens' season in Week 17.

Baltimore kept Loop on the roster, but signed Jake Moody to the practice squad on Monday.

"I have a lot of confidence in Tyler still," Jesse Minter said, via Jamison Hensley of ESPN. "He's had a great training camp. I expect him to be our kicker going into [the Sept. 13 season opener in] Indianapolis.

"But you're always trying to just have every scenario covered, and so that's what we're trying to do as a team."

Loop, whom the Ravens drafted in 2025 to replace Justin Tucker, went 30-of-34 but was only 1-of-4 from 50 yards or longer. That was the second-worst rate in the NFL.

He remains with the Ravens — for now — but will have to hold off Moody for the job.
