Omar Fraile took his maiden Grand Tour victory on stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia as Tom http://www.officialathleticshop.com/authentic-36-terry-steinbach-jersey.html Dumoulin hung on to the overall lead despite a frantic and stressful day in the pink jersey.
The rain did not stop from the first race to the last here on Wednesday and though Shutter Speed, the odds-on favourite, managed to cope with the softening ground in the Musidora Stakes, her trainer, John Gosden, may walk the course on Thursday morning before he decides whether Cracksman, the third-favourite for the Derby, will take his chance in the Dante Stakes, the feature event of York’s May meeting. If Cracksman does not go to post for the Dante, the last recognised Derby trial will lose its favourite and a potential favourite for the Classic itself. It will also leave Gosden with the problem of how to apply the finishing touches to a colt with only two runs behind him before the Investec Derby, a fortnight on Saturday. Racing tips and news: Bet4Causes defends failure to donate to sporting http://www.jetsofficialsonline.com/Devin_Smith_Jersey_Cheapcharities Read more Cracksman, a son of Frankel, runs in the colours of Anthony Oppenheimer, whose Golden Horn had also had two starts before he completed the Dante?Derby double in 2015. He does at least have some experience of Epsom, having scraped home by a short head from Permian – another declared runner for the Dante – in the track’s 10-furlong Classic Trial in April, and he could get a second chance to gallop around Tattenham Corner at the Breakfast With The Stars event next Tuesday. That possibility could increase Gosden’s reluctance to risk a hard race on testing ground only 16 days before the Derby. The going here was officially good to soft and good in places overnight but had changed to soft by the time of the first race, and the rain was forecast to continue for several hours after the last. “The Dante is closer to the Derby than usual due to a late Easter,” Gosden said. “There are only 16 days between the Derby and Dante and no one is going to have an easy race in the Dante. “He’s in great form. Since he ran at Epsom, he knows what he’s doing, he’s highly professional Mark Barron Youth Jersey after that one race. I’m thrilled with the horse. I’m staying nearby and I could nip in early on and have a look, and see what the lie of the land is.” Gosden’s filly Shutter Speed did not enjoy the ground here on Wednesday but still proved much too good for four opponents in the Group 3 Musidora Stakes, a race that the trainer has now won six times in all. Advertisement Shutter Speed will not follow the traditional path of Musidora winners and run in the Oaks at Epsom, however, as this race confirmed Gosden’s strong suspicion that she will be best at up to a mile and a half. “She hated it, it’s too soft and she wasn’t happy at all,” Gosden said, “but she’s got the class to win anyhow. She’ll go to the [10-furlong] Prix de Diane [French Oaks] in over a month’s time so we’ve got time to get over the race, she’s a mile-and-a-quarter filly and this just stretched her stamina today.” Shutter Speed is quoted as the 6-4 favourite (from 3-1) for the Prix de Diane by Paddy Power, while her stable companion Enable, who took the Cheshire Oaks last week, is now the 5-1 second-favourite for the Oaks behind Rhododendron, the 1,000 Guineas winner, at 9-4. William Haggas said Bernie Parent Authentic Jersey that he has “got to try to make [Tasleet] a Group 1 winner” after the four-year-old finished two and a half lengths clear of his field in the Group 2 Duke Of York Stakes, his first start at six furlongs for almost two years. “He had a really bad injury [last season] to a hind ankle which took a hell of a long time to clear up,” Haggas said. “He ran over seven furlongs on his comeback in the spring but I always fancied coming back to six furlongs and the next step is about another a month away [when] he will run in the [Group 1] Diamond Jubilee [at Royal Ascot].” Michelle Payne: ‘People doubt female riders. There’s more to it than strength’ Read more Nick Rust, the chief executive of the British Horsesracing Authority, said on Wednesday that a newly published report on gender diversity in racing was a “stark reminder that there is much more that British racing needs to do to ensure that people receive the necessary encouragement, support and opportunities regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, disability or social background.” The report, which was commissioned by the organisation Women In Racing, found that while “progress is being made at all levels with horseracing”, identified issues for women in the sport included lack of carer development opportunities, including for female jockeys, and a lack of representation at senior and board level in racing organisations. About 12% of licensed jockeys are female, but just 6% of rides are taken by women jockeys and just 1% of the rides in top-level events. “Today, we’re restating our http://www.officialoriolestore.com/Chris_Tillman_Jersey commitment to improve diversity in our sport,” Rust said. “As the survey report highlights, to be successful, this requires a cross-industry effort, so we will now consult with racecourses and horsemen on additional actions we need to take, including the recommendations contained in this report. “I’d like to thank Women in Racing and the many partners who made this research, possible, including the Racing Foundation for funding the study on behalf of our sport and for helping us keep diversity firmly on racing’s agenda
Eight of the professional football clubs contacted by the independent inquiry into the game’s sexual-abuse scandal have failed to respond and now risk disciplinary action unless they tell the investigators what they know, the Guardian can reveal. The Football Association is ready to step in and has the power to impose sanctions if it considers the clubs who have failed to comply – missing two separate deadlines over the past four months and displaying a level of non-cooperation described as “deeply concerning” by one specialist child-abuse lawyer – are threatening to undermine the investigation into what the organisation’s chairman, Greg Clarke, has described as the worst crisis he can remember in the sport. The football child abuse scandal just keeps on growing Read more The inquiry team, led by Clive Sheldon QC, wrote to every amateur and professional club in England and Wales on 11 January asking them to supply any information that could help relating to the period covered by the review, from 1970 to 2005, and requesting this was done by 15 March at the latest. Sheldon and his colleagues consider that part of the process to be vital if they are to form an accurate picture of what happened in the past, whether there were institutional failures, who knew and what was done about it. However, the first phase of the investigation has been hindered by the difficulties they have encountered waiting for a number of clubs to cooperate. The clubs who did not respond within the initial two-month period were contacted a second time and informed that a new deadline had been put in place of the end of April. Yet the fact eight clubs still failed to meet that six-week extension has led to the FA being notified and leaves questions about whether there are still people within the sport who are unwilling to cooperate at a time when Clarke has emphasised the importance of transparency. “The fact that clubs continue to ignore the FA inquiry and fail to cooperate is deeply concerning,” Dino Nocivelli, a lawyer who is representing a number of the former footballers, told the Guardian. “It clearly shows their disregard for survivors of childhood sexual abuse within football and serious questions have to be asked as to the reasons why these clubs have decided not to engage.” Advertisement The last available figures, released by the Dwight Gooden Authentic Jersey National Police Chiefs’ Council on 18 April, showed 560 people had come forward citing abuse and 252 suspects had been named since the Guardian began its investigation in November. Around 23% of the reported incidents – with 311 clubs named – related to the sport at professional level and Operation Hydrant, the specialist police unit investigating the matter, had received 1,432 referrals, with almost a third, 457, coming from the north-west. The inquiry, which will also look into girls’ football, will examine any evidence of a possible network between the offenders. Sheldon was appointed in December and one part of his investigation will be to examine the reasons why, in 2003, the FA withdrew its funding from a review of child-protection policies, two years into what was supposed to be a five-year project led by Celia Brackenridge, a prominent campaigner and researcher from Brunel University. Letters have also been sent to every club – a figure close to 20 – linked to the scandal in media coverage to establish if they are holding their own reviews and, if not, asking for the reasons why. Again, the relevant clubs – including Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Southampton, Aston Villa, Blackpool and Crewe Alexandra – have been asked to submit their evidence to help Sheldon’s own fact-finding mission, with a view to submitting his report to the FA early next year. The terms of reference state the FA will make public as much as is legally possible. Chelsea, the Guardian has established, have appointed a QC, Charles Geekie, a specialist in child abuse cases, to examine what happened at Stamford Bridge in the 1970s and http://www.officialmetsproshop.com/Gary_Carter_Jersey the chain of events that led to the club paying one of their former players, Gary Johnson, ￡50,000 hush money in an attempt to prevent publicity about what happened to him in their youth team. Chelsea admitted in December they now considered that confidentiality agreement to be “inappropriate” and issued a public apology about the way the club had handled the allegations relating to Eddie Heath, formerly their chief scout. Manchester City, facing the possibility of civil action from a number of their former junior players, have started their own investigation, using two of Manchester’s leading law firms as well as appointing Jane Mulcahy, a London-based QC who is on the national child safeguarding in sport panel and has been involved with the England and Wales Cricket Board’s appeals panel in child-protection cases. Advertisement The next stage of Sheldon’s inquiry will last several months and be devoted to interviewing the survivors and key witnesses. He and his team have received professional training to ensure the process is handled delicately and there will be the opportunity for people to speak anonymously, with an introductory link on the Sport Resolutions website. Mike Hartill, a senior lecturer in sociology and sport at Edge Hill University who has previously been credited with improving child-protection policies in rugby league, is liaising with Sheldon and has produced a report for the inquiry to detail the measures that used to exist in football. The inquiry team has been interviewing various members of staff from previous FA regimes, as well as gathering evidence from a variety of other sources, but has also had to devote a significant amount of time to looking for relevant information from among the 5,000 boxes of FA archives. As disappointing as it has been that almost one out of every 11 professional clubs has missed the various deadlines, that does not reflect the attitudes of the people who have been asked to take part in interviews. Everybody so far has agreed and it is hoped the FA’s involvement may influence the eight Jacob deGrom Youth Jersey clubs who have let down the process so far
It wouldn’t have been any different had the Wizards won, by the way, although John Adidas Evander Kane Authentic Jersey Wall is a bigger potential X-factor than anybody on the Celtics roster. The truth was that the winner of this series, no matter which team it was, was going to be rewarded with the opportunity to be flattened by a far superior Cavaliers team. 'You ever hear of manslaughter?': Popovich rips Warriors over Leonard injury Read more In the NBA, it’s all about the last team standing, which means a series like the one the Celtics and the Wizards just had, will most likely be forgotten, overshadowed by whatever is to come. This would be a shame. After consecutive series sweeps by the Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors there was a growing sense that this postseason would mostly consist of biding time until the Finals. The Celtics and Wizards managed to find a way to keep things interesting, mostly by keeping things weird.
England will hope to seal a second grand Six Nations slam in three years by Adidas Derek Roy Authentic Jersey exacting revenge over Ireland in next year’s championship with the organisers again seeking a title showdown between the two sides on the final weekend.
Liberty Media scored a PR coup in working with Ferrari and finding the distraught six-year-old who had been in tears after Kimi Raikkonen’s early Dustin Brown Womens Jersey exit from the race. Thomas Danel from Amiens in France was brought to the motorhome to meet his hero Raikkonen and there were smiles all round. His mother, Coralie Danel, was hugely impressed:“This has been the most fantastic day for us. We could not believe it when they came to get us and took us to Ferrari,” she said. “This is great for fans like us, it really makes F1 and all of its people come alive. Brilliant.”
England will hope to seal a second grand HURRlCANES Jersey Six Nations slam in three years by exacting revenge over Ireland in next year’s championship with the organisers again seeking a title showdown between the two sides on the final weekend. On Tuesday the organisers announced the fixtures for the 2018 and 2019 championships, both of which will be seven weeks with the two fallow weekends remaining – the proposal to condense it to six weeks, which was backed by the RFU but met with widespread criticism, was for 2020 onwards in line with the new global season. A statement from the Six Nations said the 2018 and 2019 championships “will continue to see rest weeks after rounds two and three as in previous years” but gives no mention to whether the tournament will subsequently be truncated. Next year’s fixture list means that for the first time since 2013, Wales will not host a Friday night match in Cardiff. Wales have hosted six of the seven Friday matches since 2009 but for the next two championships, France – who staged the first – will do so. The venue for next year’s Friday fixture, which will be against Italy, is yet to be determined but it RANGERS Jersey will not be in Paris. Rob Baxter hopes for flat-out Exeter performance against sturdy Saracens Read more In 2018 Eddie Jones’s side begin the defence of the title they have won for the last two years away to Italy on Sunday 4 February and conclude it at home to Ireland on St Patrick’s Day. In the first match of next year’s competition, Wales, who will have Warren Gatland back at the helm, host Scotland before travelling to Twickenham for round two. After the first of two rest weeks England are away to Scotland before tackling France – pool opponents in the 2019 World Cup – in Paris and concluding their campaign against Joe Schmidt’s side in the mid-afternoon match before Wales v France brings the curtain down on the championship. During this year’s competition the http://www.officialcelticsproshop.com/Rj_Hunter_Jersey WRU chairman, Gareth Davies, said that Wales would be informing the Six Nations organisers they were not prepared to host Friday matches for at least the next two years. Travel disruption was cited as the main reason why – and is also the key factor as to the RFU are not willing to stage Friday night matches, which are popular with broadcasters. Wales will however be away to France on a Friday in 2019. England opened the 2015 World Cup on a Friday night against Fiji but in March the RFU chief executive, Ian Ritchie, said: “Our position hasn’t changed – we don’t generally support Friday night games at Twickenham for a variety Red Auerbach Youth Jersey of reasons, not least the challenge for the fans of getting to and from the match
Roger Federer is out of the French Open and Maria Sharapova will learn on Tuesday if she even has a chance of getting into the qualifying tournament for it. Federer confirmed on Monday that he will not play at Roland Garros this month and instead prepare to play on grass and hard courts later this season, posting a message on his website which read: “Roger to skip Roland Garros.” Federer’s note read: “Regrettably, I’ve decided not to participate in the French Open. I’ve http://www.broncosfootballprosshop.com/Max_Garcia_Jersey_Cheap been working really hard, both on and off the court, during the last month but in order to try and play on the ATP World Tour for many years to come I feel it’s best to skip the clay court season this year and prepare for the grass and hard court seasons. “The start to the year has been magical for me but I need to recognise that scheduling will be the key to my longevity moving forward. Thus, my team and I concluded today that playing just one event on clay was not in the best interest of my tennis and physical preparation for the remainder of the season.” “I will miss the French fans, who have always been so supportive and I look forward to seeing them at Roland Garros next year.” The Swiss also missed last year’s French Open through injury, the first time he failed to make the trip to Paris since his debut in 1999. He now appears to be prioritising Wimbledon, having won the tournament seven times. Sharapova’s return is building slow momentum against a backdrop of continued whispers. She tried hard to dispel the notion here at the Italian Open that she neither cares what her rivals think of her nor that she has just made the cut for the qualifying tournament at Wimbledon and might Michael Schofield Authentic Jersey be similarly favoured for the French Open qualifiers. On the first count she was convincing; on the second less so. Asked why she does not seem to attract wider approval and locker-room admiration the way Federer and Rafael Nadal do, the former world No1, seven matches into her comeback after a 15-month suspension for failing a drugs test at the Australian Open, fixed her inquisitor with a no-nonsense gaze. “I want to be a professional on and off the court,” she said. “I want to go to my press conference, I want to do my job, I want to make sure my body is ready for the next match, and that’s it.” Advertisement She has to get into the main draw of either slam first, but she will not be watching the Facebook Live event from the French Open at 6pm on Tuesday that will announce if she is to be awarded a wildcard for the lead-up tournament in Paris. Sharapova played solidly from the back of the court to beat the world No58, Christina McHale, 6-4, 6-2 in an hour and 35 minutes here but so she should. It was her fifth straight win over the American and her fifth win since returning last month. “At this point it’s week http://www.jetsofficialsonline.com/Devin_Smith_Jersey_Cheap to week,” she said of her ranking, which stood at 211 on her arrival from Madrid, where she lost to her fiercest critic, Eugenie Bouchard, having reached the semi-finals in Stuttgart. As for criticism that she has had a gilded return (a conveniently delayed wild card in Germany and eased in here ahead of the local favourite Francesca Schiavone), she said: “I have had to face a lot of, as you say, distractions or opinions or judgment, since I was 17 years old. I play tennis for a lot of things and those are just not them any more.” She sounded similarly indifferent about making the cut for the Wimbledon qualifying tournament. “I don’t know how the Wimbledon qualifying works or the rankings,” she said to mild media astonishment. “Listen, winning matches will get me places so, if that’s where it got me today, then I will take it. I think maybe you guys assume that I know these things.” She did agree she missed tennis, though. “For me it’s the drive and the competition and being in situations that nothing else in life really brings you, the pressure moments and whether you’re ahead or you’re behind, the will and being in front of people that are there to watch you compete and play. I love that feeling. That’s what I really miss.” You could believe that. Britain’s Aljaz Bedene and Kyle Edmund are through to the second round after contrasting wins – but both face hellish challenges. Bedene, who won on retirement against the Italian wild card Gianluca Mager, plays a wounded Novak Djokovic. “Definitely he’s not playing as good as he was and I’m playing better now,” Bedene said. “I’m only going to try and focus on my Dion Bailey Youth Jersey game and be as aggressive as I can be. Advertisement “I played Andy [Murray], I played Rafa. But when Djokovic was playing his best tennis, it was probably the best. I didn’t like it as much as Andy or Rafa’s ball. The speed, the power, using the whole body: I was always on the back foot. When I was playing Andy and Rafa, obviously they beat me, but I felt I could do something if I played well. He takes it early. He is solid all round.” Edmund looked strong and confident in defeating the Portuguese Jo?o Sousa 6-3, 6-4 but he will next come up against Juan Martín del Potro, who last night beat Grigor Dimitrov in their first-round match 3-6, 6-2, 6-3. They are all in the quarter with Nick Kyrgios, who plays Roberto Bautista Agut on Tuesday. The Australian, playing the best tennis of his young career, arrived here with his new coach, Sebastian Grosjean. It remains to be seen if he will stay with him, however. The Australian split with Todd Larkham and Joshua Eagle in June, 2015, when only 20, relying thereafter on the occasional advice of his Davis Cup captain, Lleyton Hewitt, and the off-court help of conditioner Matt James and physio William Maher

But this is football and this is what we have to do, it can happen and hopefully we can win the Double. That would be a fantastic season for Chelsea and for us. “I have to put those feelings aside.
