Abrahamsen wins Tour de France stage as Pogacar survives scare
Pogacar fell after hitting the back wheel of another rider but his rivals Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel sportingly waited for the Slovenian to catch up after he got back on his bike. Ireland's Ben Healy retained the leader's jersey. The thrilling stage over 156km from Toulouse and back was unexpectedly won by Abrahamsen as a long range breakaway foiled the ambitions of the sprinters. Abrahamsen contested a two-way cat-and-mouse war of nerves down the home straight with Swiss Mauro Schmid as the cunning Mathieu van der Poel crept up on them and finished third at 7sec. Healy retained the overall lead on his first day in the fabled yellow jersey, while Pogacar remains second and Evenepoel third. Following Tuesday's rest day, Wednesday's run was billed as a likely sprint finish with 70 points at stake in the sprint points standings at Toulouse. Stage 11 did however feature five small climbs along a 156.8km route making sure it was constantly fast and nerve-wracking. Pogacar fell after hitting the back wheel of another rider but his rivals two-time winner Vingegaard and Evenepoel sportingly waited for the Slovenian. The UAE rider Pogacar struggled to put his chain on after sliding across several metres of tarmac and had looked as if he would lose 30 to 40 seconds. Healy will lead the peloton into the Pyrenees on Thursday where the first real mountains will test his and everyone's legs on the legendary beyond category Hautacam climb.

Modric at AC Milan to 'stay competitive and in Europe' at 40
"I'm happy to be here and I look forward to a new adventure," the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner told AC Milan's TV channel after joining from Real Madrid. Modric, who turns 40 in September, joined the Spanish giants from Tottenham in 2012, going on to win six Champions Leagues, four La Liga titles and two Copa del Rey trophies. "I wanted to stay in Europe, to continue playing competitive football. I had some other offers but when Milan showed up for me it was clear from the first moment," he said. Milan finished a disappointing eighth in Serie A last season and will not play in European competition. But Modric insisted Milan remain "one of the biggest clubs in Europe". "Milan cannot be satisfied with average and needs to have the biggest goals possible, to win titles, to compete with the best teams in the world, that's why I am here." Modric signed a one-year contract, with an option for an additional season with the seven-time Champions League and 19-time Serie A winners. "I'm never satisfied, I always want more," he warned. "When you've experienced that feeling (of winning), you want to feel it even more. I still have hunger, desire, still wanting more." To explain his longevity, Modric said "the most important thing is the love for the game, for football". "That's what I still have, what I still feel in my belly, this fire, that's what pushes me ... there is no secrets, for me it's the passion, the love for football. I am never satisfied." The 2018 World Cup runner-up also spoke of his childhood memories of Milan. "When I was a kid, I watched the Italian league a lot, Milan was my favourite team," he recalled. "Also because Zvonimir Boban was there, who was my idol," he added, referring to his compatriot who wore the Rossoneri jersey from 1992 to 2001. © 2025 AFP

Sweden flying under Euros radar ahead of England clash, says Asllani
Spain, France and England have dominated headlines in Switzerland but Sweden swept into the last eight with three powerful displays, including a thumping of Germany, on their way to winning Group C with a perfect nine points. "I feel like Sweden are always flying under the radar, I would say," attacking midfielder Asllani told reporters. "And it is something that kind of suits us because obviously we think that we are one of the best teams in the world due to the results we have been doing the last few years from the tournaments. But people rarely speak about us as someone that can win the gold. "We know we can beat any team in the world when we have our best day. We don't think about it too much but I think people should talk about us more." Sweden take on England, who finished second in Group D, in Zurich on Thursday with memories still fresh of a 4-0 defeat to the Lionesses at the last Euros three years ago. But Asllani said that she and her teammates are focussing on two recent draws with the reigning European champions as they hunt a first major honour since winning the first official Euros way back in 1984. "We have incredible belief in one another and the entire team. We do play very intense and physical football and since (coach) Peter (Gerhardsson) took over that has developed," added Asllani. "We have developed enormously over last few years. We have players at major clubs, and then you came here and you mesh it all together. We are a very hungry team and want success." She said she believed the tournament begins in earnest with the quarter-finals. "It feels like a tournament really gets going when the group stage is over. We have experience of these kinds of matches, and the fun sort of starts now... when you test your mettle against the best teams."
