Then, in the first laps, I had a strange feeling with the rear tyre. We don't know why, but the bike slid around a lot. Then the situation went back to normal and I was able to maintain a good pace. I battled with Bradl and Petrucci, but once I

Danny Amendola Loved Playing With Steven Jackson: He’s ‘A Good Teammate’

FOXBORO, Mass. — News of Steven Jackson’s reported meeting with the Patriots on Wednesday was circling all throughout New England, and the team’s locker room was no exception. “I don’t know that we signed him,” Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola said. “I don’t know what the deal is. Apparently he’s still on the streets.” Well, wherever he is, apparently he is one step closer to providing the Patriots with some much needed depth at running back. And if his meeting leads to an eventual contract with New England, he has a familiar face in Amendola to rely on. Amendola and Jackson played together for four years with the...
