During the MotoGP™ event at the Red Bull Ring, ADAC Sports President Hermann Tomczyk and Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta agreed on even closer joint promotion of juniors. The European Talent Cup, organised by Dorna, and the Standard class of the ADAC Northern Europe Cup, will be staged according to the same regulations by 2019 at the latest. A promotion to higher classes will also become standard across the series, meaning that it will not matter to junior riders whether they line up in the ADAC Northern Europe Cup or in one of the Dorna Talent Cups - the same conditions will apply in both series. Furthermore, travel costs for North European participants will decrease, as it will be relatively unimportant

MLB Rumors: Yankees Interested In Aroldis Chapman, But Price Very High

Watch Edwin Encarnacion Crush Game-Winning Home Run, Send Blue Jays To ALDS
Share this: Who’s ready for another Toronto Blue Jays-Texas Rangers playoff series? Designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion blasted a three-run, walk-off home run in the 11th inning Tuesday night to give the Blue Jays a 5-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Wild Card Game. And blasted might be an understatement. The ending was controversial, as the Orioles never turned to closer and Cy Young candidate Zach Britton. Instead, manager Buck Showalter, who said after the game that Britton was available, put in Ubaldo Jimenez with one out in the 11th, and he proceeded to allow two straight singles before Encarnacion’s homer. The Blue Jays-Rangers AL Division Series will begin Thursday with Game 1 at 4:38 p.m. ET. Click to see fan throw beer can at Orioles

Washington will send relief pitcher Felipe Rivero and left-handed pitching prospect Taylor Hearn to Pittsburgh in return, according to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman.

That’s good news for the Nationals, who have gotten inconsistent results from current
