Tour de France: Belgian rider Merlier wins third stage but Philipsen abandons
DUNKERQUE, France — Belgian rider Tim Merlier won the crash-marred third stage of the Tour de France in a photo finish and Mathieu Van der Poel kept the yellow jersey on Monday. Tour de France: Belgian rider Merlier wins third stage but Philipsen abandons Defending champion Tadej Pogačar and two-time winner Jonas Vingegaard — the main contenders — finished safely as they rolled in together with the main pack. But Stage 1 winner Jasper Philipsen abandoned after he broke a collarbone in one of the early crashes. When the sprinters turned for home into a strong headwind, several crashed near the line at top speeds of 65 kph . Merlier just got the front of his wheel in front of Italian Jonathan Milan as they lunged to the line. German rider Phil Bauhaus was third. It was Merlier's second career stage win on the Tour, four years after his first, which also came on Stage 3. 'It was a big battle and it was difficult to maintain my position, I came from very far back in the last two kilometers," he said. "When I found myself next to Milan, I knew it would be complicated to beat him.' Van der Poel, who rides for the Alpecin-Deceuninck team, did not contest the sprint the day after narrowly beating Pogacar to win Sunday's rainy and hilly second stage. Riders set off on Monday in wet conditions and wore light rain jackets on a 178-kilometer flat route from Valenciennes to coastal Dunkerque. The pace was slower than the two first days but the conditions were treacherous and, about 50 kilometers from the end, Philipsen was knocked over by Frenchman Bryan Coquard and landed heavily on his side. Coquard was not to blame, however, as he lost balance only after being clipped by a rider overtaking him on the right. Beside his broken right collarbone, Philipsen might have two broken ribs, his Alpecin–Deceuninck team said, adding he needs surgery. Coquard looked remorseful when he spoke to media outside the Cofidis team bus after the stage. 'I've seen the images again, I really didn't know what happened in the moment," he said. "I would like to say sorry to Philipsen and Alpecin, even if it was not an intentional act." Another crash with three kilometers left felled double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, who was able to continue. Then, with the finish in sight, a few more crashed — including Coquard, who somersaulted off his bike. The 174-kilometer fourth stage is another hilly one for allrounders like Van der Poel and his former cyclo-cross rival Wout van Aert. It starts from Amiens and ends with five consecutive small climbs to the Normandy city of Rouen. This race is entirely in France, with no stages held abroad as in previous years, and ends on July 27 in Paris. ___ sports: /hub/apf-sports This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Hulkenberg ends a 15-year wait with first F1 podium
Immediately after the British Grand Prix ended, a Mercedes staffer ran across the paddock carrying a large paper bag with the contents in it clinking. A few minutes later, an Aston Martin employee did the same. Both were heading to the end of the pitlane to deliver champagne bottles to Sauber. Kick Sauber's German driver Nico Hulkenberg celebrates coming third in the podium positions during the British Grand Prix. (AFP) It's customary for teams to keep the bubbly for celebration, but Sauber had last achieved a podium finish way back in 2012. Besides, Gabriel Bortoleto and Nico Hulkenberg started 17th and 19th, and that meant even the Hinwil-based outfit wasn't expecting much cheer. But against all odds, Hulkenberg surprised his team, the paddock and himself as he took the chequered flag by coming in third, ending his unwanted record in Formula 1 – 239 races, 5,593 days and eight team switches that it took the 37-year-old to finally end his wait for a podium finish, having made his debut way back in 2010. 'I don't think I can comprehend what we've just done. It feels good. It's been a long time coming, hasn't it?' said Hulkenberg after euphoric pitlane celebrations. 'I always knew we have it in us, I had it in me somewhere... it's pretty surreal, to be honest.' Around two decades back, Hulkenberg was among the promising youngsters in formula racing, having won every junior championship there was — 2005 Formula BMW, 2006-07 A1 Grand Prix, 2008 Formula 3 Euro and the 2009 GP2 (formerly Formula 2) — before finally getting an F1 seat with Williams. He immediately impressed in F1 when he became the then sixth youngest driver to claim pole at the 2010 Brazilian GP. Despite a good show in his debut season, he was left without a seat in 2011 before making an unexpected return with Force India in 2012. After racing for eight years, he lost his place in the paddock following the 2019 season as no team offered him a seat. Though he made comebacks as a substitute in four races spread across 2020 to 2022 as a substitute for Covid-19 affected drivers, the German had accepted his fate of forced retirement. As luck would have it, a change in management at Haas led to his getting a race seat in 2023, due to an emphasis on experience over youth, before he moved to Sauber earlier this year for his second stint with the Swiss team. And he hasn't disappointed. At the season opening Australian GP, he fought back from 17th on the grid to end seventh. In Spain, he climbed from 15th to fifth, in Canada, from 13th to eighth and in Austria from 20th and last to ninth. At Silverstone too 'the Hulk' started 19th but not in his wildest dreams did he think he will be on the podium, cheered on by around 168,000 people despite the German beating crowd favourite Lewis Hamilton (he was fourth) to third in a close fight after a thrilling and topsy-turvy race in rain. 'I was thinking that Lewis is going to give it all in front of his home crowd and I was like, 'sorry guys — it's also my day!' I've got to stick my neck out,' Hulkenberg said on Sunday. It was evident that Hulkenberg was out of place before his first podium ceremony as he was relaxing with championship leader Oscar Piastri in the cool down room when race winner Lando Norris brought in the German's helmet — an F1 protocol — along with his own. 'The Hulk' was surprised, asking why would he need the helmet, before a smiling Norris placed both the helmets in the slots provided. Grinning ear to ear, he emerged to acknowledge the crowd before tasting the bubbly on the podium for the first time. The celebrations continued in the Sauber garage with the champagne supplied by Mercedes and Aston Martin.

Barca's Szczesny renews leaving Ter Stegen future in doubt
Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has renewed his contract until 2027, the La Liga champions said on Monday. 'The Polish goalkeeper staying is recognition and a prize for his great season between the sticks for Barca, after an unexpected arrival in a strange context,' wrote the Catalan club in a statement. Szczesny had retired from football when Barcelona signed him in October to replace injured stopper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who was ruled out for most of the season with a ruptured patella tendon. The 35-year-old impressed as Barcelona won La Liga and the Copa del Rey, with Ter Stegen only returning to the squad in the final weeks of the season. ALSO READ | Cristiano Ronaldo exhibition — Hong Kong fans queue up for opening of event on CR7 Szczesny's decision to stay and Barca signing goalkeeper Joan Garcia from Espanyol earlier in the summer casts doubt over Ter Stegen's future at the club. The German international, 33, commands a high salary at Barcelona and Spanish media report the financially-struggling club would like to make savings in that regard. Barca signed Garcia from Espanyol for 26.34 million euros ($31 million) on a six-year deal in June, and also still have another goalkeeper in Inaki Pena on the books.
