Sat, March 29, 2025 Shane Stokes The team is most often regarded as being all about Tadej Pogačar but, as the 2025 season unfolds, UAE Team Emirates-XRG is proving that it is far more than that.

Nottingham, la ribelle del football

UNA NOTTE UMIDA A «REBEL CITY»: IL FOREST VOLA IN EUROPA, IL COUNTY STENTA LUCA MANES Il Manifesto - Sabato 29 marzo 2025 Pagina 18 «Ribelle una volta, ribelle per sempre. Non si può fare a meno di esserlo. Non puoi negarlo. Ed è meglio essere un ribelle per dimostrare loro che non conviene metterti alla prova». Nel libro Sabato notte e domenica mattina lo scrittore Alan Sillitoe ha così reso omaggio alla sua città d’origine, Nottingham. La rebel city per eccellenza, sin dai tempi del mitologico Robin Hood e della guerra civile inglese. L’analogia è forse un po’ irriguardosa, ma negli ultimi mesi Nottingham ha ripreso la sua verve ribelle almeno nel football, visto che il Forest è tornato gioiosamente a contrastare l’establishment del beautiful game. Per qualche settimana ha perfino cullato il sogno del bis del titolo del 1978, cui fecero seguito due clamorose affermazioni nell’allora Coppa dei Campioni. Sì, perché il Nottingham Forest è l’unica squadra che ha vinto più massimi trof...

MARTIN KEOWN TALKS TACTICS RUN PASS

Willian cuts in from the left, creating space for Robinson to go on the outside.  It gives defenders, especially when playing in a back three, a problem deciding who to close down.  This could force Palace’s wing-backs to retreat, nullifying one of their big threats. Glasner needs plan to shackle Fulham’s flying wide boys 29 Mar 2025 - Daily Mail FULHAM find themselves with an outside chance of an unlikely FA Cup and Champions League double . A blockbuster tie against Crystal Palace today gives them the opportunity to reach their first FA Cup semi-final since 2002, and move one step closer to their first FA Cup final since Bobby Moore and Co starred in 1975.  Marco Silva’s side are only four points off the top four. History is in their grasp. Silva has created a team who reflect his personality: ambitious, aggressive and very competitive. He has been touted this week as a possible replacement for Ange Postecoglou at Tottenham , a side they beat comfortably in their last ...

Piccolo Fiandre, grande VDP - Ayuso è tornato leader: «Ogni secondo conta»

Van der Poel vola tra Muri e pavé, ma Ganna c’è: terzo Ad Harelbeke trionfa l’olandese re della Sanremo: assolo di 39 chilometri, poi Pedersen e l’azzurro 29 Mar 2025 - La Gazzetta dello Sport di Ciro Scognamiglio @CIROGAZZETTA Filippo Ganna sa perfettamente che cosa vuol dire pedalare alla soglia del dolore, conviverci, provare a batterlo: basti dire che è il primatista dell’Ora con 56,792 km, e quando aveva stabilito il record nel velodromo di Grenchen (era l’8 ottobre 2022), confessò poi di aver addirittura desiderato di cadere nell’ultimo quarto d’ora, per porre fine a quella sofferenza immane. E allora, per provare a capire davvero quanto sia stato duro ieri l’E3 Saxo Classic, meglio noto come il Piccolo Fiandre (17 Muri, tra cui Vecchio Kwaremont e Paterberg), conviene affidarsi alle sue parole: «Negli ultimi 20 chilometri le mie gambe erano completamente saltate. Mi veniva da piangere...». Il nostro gigante è stato bravissimo a concludere comunque la giornata al terzo posto, il ...

Brennan dans le vent

Deuxième victoire d’étape pour Matthew Brennan en Catalogne,  hier devant Tibor del Grosso (à dr.) et Pavel Bittner (au centre). Le Britannique a remporté une deuxième étape en Catalogne, hier, au terme d’une journée marquée par une bordure et le retour de Juan Ayuso dans le costume du leader. 29 Mar 2025 - L'Équipe PIERRE MENJOT AMPOSTA (ESP) – Le vent, qui a forcé quelques coureurs à mettre pied à terre sur le chemin du départ de Paüls, annonçait une journée de stress, hier, en Catalogne. Elle l’a été. « On savait qu’il y aurait de la casse, mais on ne savait pas exactement quand », expliquait Juan Ayuso.  Ce fut à vingt kilomètres de l’arrivée, au coeur des rizières, quand les Ineos ont accéléré, sur une route large, relayés par les Movistar et les Visma-Lease a bike de Matthew Brennan, heureux d’éliminer quelques sprinteurs dans le coup de bordure. Ayuso chipe une seconde de bonfication Certains outsiders, comme Van Eetvelt, Lecerf ou Riccitello ont perdu 42 seco...

ICONIC: Before he became known for his trademark suits  while broadcasting  Knicks games, Clyde Frazier was a style icon during his playing days. NEVER GOING OUT OF STYLE Clyde Frazier, NYC legend, turns 80 today Clyde will forever be timess part of the New York City fabric 29 Mar 2025 - Ne w York Post An appreciation by Mike Vaccaro - Mvaccaro@nypost.com HE has been a part of our lives since March 9, 1967 . We didn’t realize it in the moment, of course. The papers that day all featured pictures of No. 52 for the Southern Illinois Salukis, the best team in what was then called the “college division” of NCAA basketball. The Salukis would’ve been a shoo-in to win the college division tournament. They’d already won 22 games, already beaten defending Division I champ Texas Western and burgeoning D-I power Louisville that year, and craved the biggest stage and the best competition. So when the NIT came calling, Southern Illinois jumped at the chance. “We would’ve walked from Carbo...

Van Aert pose question

Immagine
Alors que le Ronde et Roubaix, qu’il n’a jamais gagnés, sont les grands objectifs de sa saison, le coureur de Visma est apparu en difficulté, hier. "J’espérais un peu mieux, c’est vrai"    - WOUT VAN AERT 29 Mar 2025 - L'Équipe Y. H. HARELBEKE - On en est qu’au début de saison mais tous les managers sont un peu sensibles quand on chatouille leur politique sportive. Grischa Niermann, le responsable sportif de VismaLease a bike, s’est un peu froissé quand un confrère belge lui a demandé s’il n’aurait mieux pas valu jouer la carte Matteo Jorgenson plutôt que celle d’un Wout Van Aert, perdu dans la pampa d’Harelbeke: «Il (Jorgenson) n’a pas gagné non plus. »Très attendu après trois semaines de stage en altitude, Wout Van Aert, ici épuisé après l’arrivée, a terminé à une très anonyme 15e place. C’est vrai, le coureur américain a terminé 9e mais il n’a pas été piégé par la chute qui a découpé le peloton en deux au contraire du Belge, mal embarqué dès le matin, certes comme Math...

IMPERTURBABLE

Et Mathieu Van der Poel prit son envol, dans le terrible Vieux-Quarémont,  lâchant  un  solide Mads Pedersen (au loin à g.), pour remporter son troisième succès de la saison. Vainqueur une nouvelle fois en solitaire, hier, Mathieu van der Poel va un peu couper avant de retrouver Tadej Pogacar sur le Tour des Flandres le 6 avril puis Paris-Roubaix, le 13. "Pogacar sera évidemment un adversaire sur Paris-Roubaix  mais c’est toujours plus facile de courir  avec les meilleurs coureurs, surtout lui"    - MATHIEU VAN DER POEL 29 Mar 2025 - L'Équipe YOHANN HAUTBOIS HARELBEKE (BEL) – Le vendredi, c’est école buissonnière à Harelbeke, en tout cas pour les gamins dont l’établissement se trouvait dans le périmètre de la zone de départ et d’arrivée. Cela n’a pas fait le bonheur de tout le monde et une maman s’inquiétait que son fils n’ait pas pu accrocher l’autographe de Mathieu Van der Poel, le matin : « Il va encore pleurer. » Hier, il ne fut pas le seul à renif...
