Associated Press PARIS (AP) — Slovenian rider Tadej Pogačar effectively sealed his fourth Tour de France title on Sunday after organizers decided to neutralize the times with 50 kilometers (31 miles) left because of the threat of rain and crashes. Freezing the times for the 21st and final stage into Paris all-but-ensured victory for Pogačar, but he still had to cross the finish line later in order to win. The decision was made in the late afternoon and, shortly after Pogačar reached 50 kilometers to go, heavy rain began falling and drenched the roads. The 26-year-old Pogačar is the defending champion and won his other Tour titles in 2020 and '21. ___ Tour de France coverage: and recommended Item 1 of 3

Former LSU baseball pitcher transfers to Tigers' familiar postseason foe
Former LSU baseball pitcher Nic Bronzini is on the move to his third school. He committed to Little Rock, per a social media post from the team account. The left-hander spent the 2025 season at Washington after two years in Baton Rouge. He redshirted in 2023, then played six games as a reliever during his redshirt freshman year in 2024. Bronzini pitched just one-third of an inning in 2025. He surrendered two walks and a hit during the March appearance against Portland. He was a part of Washington's first season in the Big Ten. The Huskies posted a 17-13 conference record. Little Rock should be familiar to LSU fans. The Trojans were a part of the Baton Rouge Regional of the 2025 NCAA Tournament, and they knocked off the Tigers 10-4 to force a championship game in Alex Box Stadium. LSU clinched a berth in the super regionals the following day with a 10-6 win.

Lincoln Riley believes this year's Trojans have what it takes
The USC Trojans had a disappointing start to their tenure in the Big Ten last season. They finished 7-6 overall and had an abysmal 4-5 record in the conference. This was not the usual success we were accustomed to seeing from USC, even though the Trojans are in the Big Ten, the best conference in college football. The expectations were still higher. Lincoln Riley is confident with what he has in the building. He believes that this year will be different. Adrian Medina with the Sporting Tribune broke down Riley's recent comments on USC's depth this season. "Trojans Head Coach Lincoln Riley, entering his fourth year at USC, was confident about the team's sufficiency of depth and support during this year's Big 10 Media Day. It's very apparent that USC is extremely serious about making this football program and returning it back to being one of the greats of college football," Riley said in his opening statement at the podium. "With our current team, seeing how our roster has evolved on all sides, especially defensively, after the huge improvements that we've made a year ago. The championship-caliber depth that is starting to be established all across the board is something that we have all worked hard for." The Trojans have a better coaching staff now with the addition of former NFL defensive coordinator Rob Ryan. They also have a more experienced roster this season. Out of their 68 players, 44 of them saw some action last season, and 17 Trojans got a chance to start. That is the experience needed to help the Trojans be a more competitive team this season in the Big Ten. They can mix in the talented freshmen and transfers they have acquired. It is notable to see Lincoln Riley have confidence in the team he is fielding this year, but now the talk needs to turn into action and results.
