Remco Evenepoel Wins Stage 16 of Tour de France
Evenepoel won the time trial stage, marking his first stage win of the year at the Tour. He finished ahead of Tadej Pogačar.
Several Norwegian riders, including Søren Wærenskjold and Tobias Foss, took a rest day. Foss was not feeling well with a sore throat. Only five stages remain, with the final stage set for Sunday.
Cam Newton is laid off by ESPN, too
The latest round of ESPN layoffs is impacting plenty of recognizable names — including a former NFL MVP. truewildslot.com
Via Bobby Burack of Outkick, ESPN has cut ties with former Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.
Newton, who launched his own platform and showed that he has the chops to do the job, landed at First Take over the past two years as one of the folks appearing with Stephen A. Smith.
Cam may have tiptoed on the third rail earlier this year, when interviewing Smith's sworn enemy, Jason Whitlock, on Newton's podcast. During the segment, Whitlock pushed the notion that Smith's memoir contains fabrications. Newton didn't push back.
In every company, there's a political minefield that needs to be navigated in order to ensure long-term survival. Ryan Clark, for example, threw a low blow last September while on the air with a new employee who has close ties to ESPN executive vice president of programming and original content Burke Magnus. And that's the moment that reportedly caused ESPN to sour on Clark.
The Whitlock interview may have caused Smith to sour on Newton. And with Newton's only role at ESPN being a member of the show Smith runs, that may have been enough to get Newton's name on the list.
Un Tour de Francia de eliminación: Evenepoel, al Olimpo, y otro contendiente, a casa
Con el imponente lago Lemán como testigo, el Tour de Francia dio el pistoletazo de salida a una última semana en la que los Alpes serán los grandes protagonistas. La disciplina contra el cronómetro, aquella que año a año se ha ido viendo reducida a su mínima expresión, ha vuelto a ser protagonista con una contrarreloj individual que enlazó las localidades de Évian-les-Bains y Thonon-les-Bains. En un recorrido de 26,1 kilómetros y con Remco Evenepoel en la línea de salida, el belga volvió a destrozar a todos sus rivales, abrochando así un nuevo triunfo en la ‘Grande Boucle’ que le carga de confianza para la alta montaña.
