CYCLING
Michael Rogers (HTC-Columbia) won the Tour of
California on Sunday after holding off his rivals in the final miles
of the concluding circuit race which was won by Ryder Hesjedal. The
Australian entered the eighth and last stage with a nine-second lead
and he repelled sustained challenges during the 83.5-mile stage on a
hilly circuit in Ventura County.
MOTORCYCLING
Jorge Lorenzo beat Fiat Yamaha team-mate Valentino
Rossi to victory at the Monster Energy Grand Prix de France to extend
his MotoGP Championship lead. Lorenzo claimed his second win of the
season in the third round at Le Mans and now lies nine points clear
of Rossi atop the leaderboard.
ATHLETICS
Phillips Idowu leapt to a world-leading 17.48 metres
to win the triple jump at the Grande Premio Brasil Caixa de Atletismo
meeting in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. The world champion's mark was
one centimetre further than the distance Cuba's Alexis Copello posted
at the first IAAF Diamond League meeting in Doha earlier this month.
Copello was second with 17.31m.
CYCLING
Emma Pooley completed victory in the 10-day Tour de
l'Aude in France on Sunday, becoming the first Briton to win the
prestigious race. Pooley won Friday's seventh stage to extend her
lead in the overall ranking and was untroubled in Sunday's ninth
stage as she completed victory.
ATHLETICS
Usain Bolt is adamant that this season will be a
low-key one for him even if Tyson Gay and others pursue their
ambitions of not only beating him but trying to break his world
sprint records. Bolt coasted to an easy success against a makeshift
field to win over 200 metres at the Shanghai IAAF Diamond League
meeting just four days after posting the world's fastest 100m time of
9.86 seconds in Daegu, South Korea. |
