Barcelona squad departs late for Japan, South Korea

MADRID, July 25 (Xinhua) -- Barcelona's squad has traveled to Asia for a three-match tour of Japan and South Korea with a 24-hour delay after resolving contract problems with the tour promotors. A conflict over the contract for Barca's first game against Japanese side Vissel Kobe saw the squad postpone its planned departure on Thursday, and the trip looked to be in danger of being canceled. However, the problems have now been resolved and the players were able to depart on Friday. Coach Hansi Flick has named a 30-player traveling squad, which includes new signings Marcus Rashford and goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Several members of Barca's B-team also form part of the squad for the trip in which Barca will also face South Korean sides Seoul FC and Daegu FC.

Tour de France stage modified over infected cattle

COL DE LA LOZE, FRANCE: The 19th stage of the Tour de France has been shortened due to the discovery of a contagious disease in a herd of cattle located along the original route between Albertville and La Plagne, race organisers said Thursday. 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals,' said organisers in a statement about Friday's stage. 'In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and in order to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville-La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the Col des Saisies.' This considerably changes the profile of the stage, which will now be just 95km long instead of the planned 129.9km. The ceremonial start will be given as planned on the outskirts of Albertville but will now take place at 1230 GMT -- an hour later than originally scheduled. After a 7km parade the official start will then be given. The Col des Saisies will notably be bypassed with the race rejoining the original route just after the initially scheduled 50km mark. Three climbs remain on the programme with the hors categorie Col du Pre, the Cormet de Roselend and the final ascent to La Plagne for a finish at an altitude of 2,052m. - AFP

Tour de France reroutes Alpine stage as farmers cull herd infected with cattle disease

CHAMBERY, July 25 — Stage 19 of the Tour De France will be shortened on Friday after an outbreak of a contagious cattle disease, organisers announced late Thursday, reported German Press Agency (dpa). 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals,' organisers said. 'In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville–La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the col des Saisies.' The demanding Alpine stage from Albertville to La Plagne will now cover a distance of just 95 kilometres, down from the originally planned 129.9 kilometres, organisers said on social media platform X. Riders will also face less elevation, with the removal of the Col des Saisies climb reducing the total ascent from the original 4,550 metres. The stage is now set to begin at 2.30 pm (1230 GMT) in Albertville - one hour later than initially scheduled. — Bernama
