Ayuso y Rodríguez brillan con luz propia en Laigueglia
No cuentan con apenas experiencia en la élite profesional, ni tampoco con la veteranía de los corredores a los que tienen que hacer frente allá donde van, pero no importa. El talento, las ganas y la dedicación lo pueden todo. Es lo que les sucede a Juan Ayuso y Carlos Rodríguez, que en una 59ª edición del Trofeo Laigueglia dieron muestras de la inagotable calidad que atesoran. El de Jávea acarició su primera victoria profesional, siendo el más rápido en el esprint de elegidos, pero fue Jan Polanc quien alzó los brazos como ganador (cosa que no hacía desde 2017) al llegar desde atrás y sorprender con un ataque dentro del último kilómetro. Alessandro Covi redondeó un triplete histórico para un UAE Team Emirates que ya suma la friolera de 11 victorias en 2022. Tampoco se quedó lejos la sólida actuación del granadino del conjunto Ineos, que acabó en el grupo de los mejores para ser quinto. El ciclismo español resurge.

Nathan Lyon targets clean sweep for Australia in Pakistan Tests
Nathan Lyon said on Wednesday he was proud to be involved in the team's first tour of Pakistan in 24 years and hoped for a 3-0 Test series win to make the trip even more memorable. Australia completed a 4-0 Ashes series victory over England earlier this year and while they face vastly different conditions in Pakistan Lyon said the goal was to win every match. "My mindset is every game we go into, we will look to win, not draw or lose. My mindset is to win 3-0 in Pakistan," Lyon told reporters ahead of the first Test, which begins on Friday in Rawalpindi. Major teams have shunned Pakistan since an attack on the Sri Lanka team bus in Lahore in 2009 that killed six policemen and two civilians but international sides have recently started touring the country again. "Pakistan haven't had the opportunity to have a lot of international cricket here over a number of years so to be able to be the first Australian team to come here to play ... It's a pretty proud moment," Lyon said. "We've spoken as a group about how big it is for the people of Pakistan to see the likes of Steve Smith, David Warner, Pat Cummins and Marnus Labuschagne ... these guys are proud to come out here and play to be role models."
