Italian sprinter Milan powers to 2nd stage win at Tour de France, Pogačar maintains lead
Sprint specialist Jonathan Milan surged at the finish to win the 17th stage of the Tour de France after a crash in the last kilometer derailed rivals' hopes on Wednesday. Italian rider Milan, the green jersey holder, consolidated his lead in the points classification with an explosive finish to get his wheel just over the line ahead of Jordi Meeus, Tobias Lund Andresen, Arnaud De Lie, Davide Ballerini, and others in a rain-soaked sprint finale. It's Milan's second stage win of the Tour after his victory in similar fashion in Laval on Saturday. But it was arguably more dramatic, with rival sprinter Tim Merlier and others involved in a crash under the flamme rouge–the triangular red banner over the road signaling the final kilometer. 'The last 25 kilometers were really really fast,' said Merlier, who finished 25th, more than a minute behind. 'I think I did a mistake. I took one roundabout on the wrong side and I lost a lot of positions. And then I knew I needed to move up. The moment I wanted to move up, I crashed.' There was no significant change in the overall standings, with three-time Tour champion Tadej Pogačar maintaining his lead of 4 minutes 15 seconds over main rival Jonas Vingegaard.

Couche-Tard restarts share buybacks after ending Seven & i takeover bid
LAVAL — Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. says it's restarting its share buyback program after it announced last week that it had ended its efforts to acquire the owner of the 7-Eleven chain. Laval, Que.-based Couche-Tard says the Toronto Stock Exchange had approved its program to buy back up to 10 per cent of outstanding shares that, based on its current price, represents about $5.8 billion in shares. The company says the potential repurchasing of about 77.1 million shares is an appropriate use of its cash and an efficient way to create long-term shareholder value. Couche-Tard had been keeping funds on-hand as it tried for more than a year to land a friendly takeover of Japan-based Seven & i Holdings Co. Ltd. in a deal that could have been worth more than $60 billion. The company said last Wednesday it had withdrawn its proposal, citing a lack of constructive engagement from Seven & i. Seven & i said it had engaged in good-faith discussions, but had also expressed concerns about antitrust hurdles and the broad shifts in the global economy that would challenge the prospects of any deal.
