Krass reaksjon etter ny Formel 1-vending: – Føler oss urettferdig behandlet

Pierre Gasly får likevel ikke beholde tredjeplassen fra Monacos Grand Prix. Den går til Red Bull-fører Isack Hadjar etter en ankebehandling.
Saken har tatt flere vendinger etter løpet 7. juni. Der krysset Gasly målstreken i Monaco som nummer tre, men ble flyttet ned på listene som følge av at han hadde pådratt seg tidsstraffer underveis i løpet.
Franskmannens lag, Alpine, anket etterpå avgjørelsen og fikk medhold etter å ha fremlagt nye bevis.
En måned senere har saken tatt en ny vending etter å ha vært innom ankedomstolen i motorsportforbundet FIA. Det er Hadjars lag Red Bull som har lagt inn en anke der.
Alpine går hardt ut mot beslutningen:
– Laget er skuffet og frustrert etter avgjørelsen som kom i ankedomstolen. Vi mener fortsatt at bilen ikke kjørte for fort i depotet. Selv om vi føler oss urettferdig behandlet, vil laget fortsette å jobbe hardt i mesterskapet, heter det i en uttalelse. (NTB) mwafrika.life

Manchester City failed to land Spain pair in scramble for Miedema cover

  • Atlético rejected £500,000-plus bid for Fiamma Benítez

  • Arsenal handed difficult Champions League draw

Atlético Madrid rejected a bid of more than £500,000 from Manchester City for the Spain midfielder Fiamma Benítez on the Women’s Super League’s transfer deadline day, the Guardian can reveal.

The WSL champions are understood to have tried hard to add attacking-midfielder reinforcements before the English summer window closed on Thursday at 11pm BST, largely in light of news that their No 10 Vivianne Miedema could be out for at least the rest of 2026 with a knee injury.

‘They disturb the game’: how betting fans are taking over tennis courts

Jeering and heckling are increasingly commonplace, even at grand slams, as spectators try to influence matches

Midway through the first week of the US Open a couple of years ago, Jiri Lehecka’s attempts to find his form were disrupted by incessant taunting from a spectator close by. “There was a guy who sat just behind my bench on a smaller court, court 4, and he was talking to me basically for the first three sets, like nonstop,” Lehecka says. “He was talking to me like: ‘You can’t do it. You are tired. He’s better than you are.’”

Lehecka maintained his composure and closed out the match, but even as he focused on navigating the intense stress of competition, he believed he understood this spectator’s motivations. The spectator, he thinks, was not there just to cheer for his favourite player: he was a bettor who had put money on Lehecka to lose. He had entered court 4 solely to influence the outcome of the match.

En España era francés y en Francia, español: pudo vencer a Merckx y se suicidó en 1994

Subo el Portilhon desde Bossòst, no hay nada comparable a la Vall d’Aran en verano. La carretera gana altura poco a poco, protegida por el bosque, hasta que las últimas curvas empiezan a exigir algo más. Pedaleo sin demasiada prisa. Quizá sea precisamente eso lo que más me gusta del ciclismo. Durante unas horas el mundo se vuelve extraordinariamente sencillo. La pendiente, la respiración, la siguiente curva. El trabajo, las obligaciones y las preocupaciones del día a día se quedan en algún lugar varios kilómetros más abajo.
