Hakim Danish set for Magny-Cours challenge
During this period, Danish also spent time training with Qabil Irfan, who was in Barcelona for Rounds 2 and 3 of the Espana Superbike Championship (ESBK), and later travelled to Motorland Aragon to show his support during Qabil's recent race in ESBK Round 3.
Danish currently sits fourth overall in the standings with 38 points, trailing by 37 points behind the championship leader, Brian Uriarte — a Spanish rider who is also Danish's main rival in the 2025 Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.
Two weeks ago, ahead of the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup round in Mugello, Danish and his team carried out a private test at Magny-Cours to gather valuable data in preparation for this week's challenge.
'This week is race week for Round 3. Two weeks ago, I had the chance to test at this new circuit. I find the track quite technical, and I still need to improve my riding and find a better setup. I'm hoping everything goes smoothly this week.' said Danish

Soccer-Heat wilts players but not fans' spirit at Sweden-Denmark Euros clash
Soccer Football - Women's Euro 2025 - Group C - Denmark v Sweden - Stade de Geneve, Geneva, Switzerland - July 4, 2025 Sweden fans in the stands REUTERS/Annegret Hilse GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) -Despite the early evening sun blasting down on the Stade de Geneve on Friday, the enthusiasm of fans did not wilt in the heat during Sweden's 1-0 victory over Denmark in the Women's European Championship. Midfielder Filippa Angeldahl scored for Sweden in a third straight game, securing the win in the opening game of Group C. The so-called "soft-hooligans" of Sweden lived up to their name with emphatic chants throughout the match and even one ABBA-inspired sing-along. "Having the crowd, it means so much, like you could hear them all through the game, like having our backs, pushing us through," Sweden defender Linda Sembrandt told Reuters. Swedish fans brimmed with confidence from the start of the match, putting up a bright yellow display reading: "The gold is coming home". "When you come out on the pitch and see everyone... you can't describe how important that is," said Swedish forward Madelen Janogy. Danish fans tried their best to reply with bellowing drums and "Danmark" chants to fire up their side but the Danish "Roligans" could not quite compete with their Scandinavian rivals who dominated the stadium with their anthems. Temperatures peaked at 30 degrees Celsius, which players said had an impact on their performance. "It was really hot. It's hard to prepare for it, like we have training in it, but it was really hot today. A few people got cramps," Sembrandt said. The game was stopped on a number of occasions for players to refresh with drinks. "It was a lot of stops. We had a cooling break because it's hot, and that's what the referee wanted... That's just something you have to deal with. You sometimes have to be a little more smarter the way you play," Denmark's Janni Thomsen told Reuters.

Soccer-Angeldahl strike ensures 1-0 win for Sweden over Denmark in Women's Euros
Soccer Football - Women's Euro 2025 - Group C - Denmark v Sweden - Stade de Geneve, Geneva, Switzerland - July 4, 2025 Sweden's Filippa Angeldahl scores their first goal REUTERS/Matthew Childs GENEVA, Switzerland (Reuters) -Midfielder Filippa Angeldahl scored for Sweden in a third straight game as her second-half strike secured a 1-0 win over Denmark in the opening game of Group C at the Women's European Championship on Friday. Real Madrid's Angeldahl, who scored in friendlies against Denmark and Norway last month, played a one-two with Kosovare Asllani as she entered the box from the right and netted a right-footed shot near the far post in the 55th minute after a tight first half. Denmark had fought hard to stay in the game as Sweden dominated possession, with Katrine Veje's tackle denying Stina Blackstenius in the 17th minute and keeper Maja Bay Ostergaard tipping over Angeldahl's free kick near the top corner just before the break. Blackstenius almost scored Sweden's second goal shortly after the hour mark but her shot from close range was saved on the line by Frederikke Thogersen, leading to a groan from the more than 17,000 spectators in attendance. Denmark, who had only 10 attempts in the game, almost half of Sweden's, came dramatically close to equalising in the 81st minute when Thogersen found Pernille Harder with a quick pass on the right, but the Danish captain's thundering drive hit the crossbar. Sweden continue their campaign against Poland on Tuesday, while Denmark face eight-times champions Germany. (Reporting by Chiranjit Ojha in Bengaluru; editing by Clare Fallon)
