The apocryphal tale is that the Trafford Centre was going to be called the Dumplington Centre, as it’s in Dumplington. It’s a nicer name, if you ask me, and they could have had a family of cute cartoon dumplings as their mascots.
A huge 30-man breakaway animated an intriguing Stage 12 of the Giro d’Italia before four riders extricated themselves with 90km to go ahead of a well-deserved win for the German journeyman Nico Denz (Bora-Hansgrohe). Denz went clear of a leading quartet on the final climb of the day alongside Latvia’s Toms Skujins (Trek-Segafredo) and Australian debutant Sebastian Berwick (Israel-PremierTech) before getting the better of his two rivals in an exciting finish in Rivoli.
Geraint Thomas is unlikely to tactically give up the pink jersey, his Ineos Grenadiers team-mate Luke Rowe has said, adding that the Welshman is in a «great position” in the race. Rowe, who is not riding the Giro, joined the latest episode of The Breakaway to discuss Stage 11 of the Giro d’Italia. Ad The stage was won by Germany’s Pascal Ackermann (UAE Team Emirates) on a day that general classification contender Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) left the race in an ambulance after a freak crash that also saw team-mate Geraint Thomas and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) go down.
For the second time in this Giro d’Italia, a powerful Danish sprinter completed a clean-sweep of Grand Tour stage wins after Magnus Cort (EF Education-EastPost) followed in the footsteps of compatriot Mads Pedersen (Trek-Segafredo) in Stage 10 at Viareggio. Cort got the better of fellow escapees Derek Gee (Israel-PremierTech) of Canada and the Italian veteran Alessandro De Marchi (Team Jayco-AlUla) to take an historic win on a day where heavy rain and sub-zero temperatures threatened to see the race neutralised.
Geraint Thomas said he is relishing the opportunity to win the Giro d'Italia and feels no pressure after inheriting the leader's maglia rosa jersey following Remco Evenepoel's withdrawal.
Britain's Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) will wear the pink jersey on Stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia on Tuesday, race organiser RCS Sport has confirmed to Eurosport, after Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) had to withdraw from the race after testing positive for Covid-19. Thomas finished up 45 seconds adrift of the precocious Belgian on GC after the individual time trial on Sunday, after missing out on the stage itself by one second, but the Welshman will now sport the leader's jersey after Evenepoel was ruled out of the race following a positive Covid-19 test.
In March, Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) came out on top in his duel against Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) in the Volta a Catalunya – six months after the Belgian ended the Slovenian’s three-year reign in red at La Vuelta. In what was widely touted as a dress rehearsal for this year’s Giro d’Italia, just six seconds separated the two riders atop the Catalunya general classification, with both Roglic and Evenepoel winning two stages apiece and the former taking the overall crown by virtue of his six-second winning margin over the line on the Stage 5 summit finish at Lo Port.
Team India head coach Rahul Dravid was in attendance for Match 32 of IPL 2023 between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Despite being a Bengaluru boy, Dravid was spotted sitting in the 'pink corner' with the RR owners and pacer Prasidh Krishna, who is out of the tournament due to an injury. Dravid, who started his IPL career with RCB in 2008, moved to RR ahead of IPL 2011 and played his last game during the 2013 Champions Trophy final.
