0

Maverick Viñales (Team Suzuki Ecstar) had shown great pace all weekend at the British GP and lined up in third on the grid after carrying his dry form into a wet qualifying session. With an initial lead in the red-flagged first start, Viñales again took to the front on the restart and proved in a league of his own. The Spaniard pulled away from the pack lap after lap, with no one able to match him and eventually crossed the line over 3 seconds clear - having at one stage stretched the gap to over 4 seconds at the front. It was a first win for the 2013 Moto3™ world champion in MotoGP™, and the first win for a Suzuki

Did Jose Bautista’s Shaky History With Rangers Lead To Bench-Clearing Brawl?

0

Do you remember Jose Bautista’s epic bat flip in Game 5 of the Toronto Blue Jays’ American League Division Series last season? Well, the Texas Rangers certainly do, and it likely played a factor in his brawl with Rougned Odor and the ensuing mayhem Sunday. Game 5 of the Rangers-Blue Jays 2015 ALDS matchup had plenty of controversy, but the top moment came in the bottom of the seventh inning when Bautista flipped his bat following a three-run home run. Not everyone was a fan of the bat flip, including Rangers reliever Sam Dyson, so there always was the chance of future fireworks between the two squads. Now fast forward to Sunday, which almost

The Boston Bruins will be sending seven players to Toronto this fall to participate in the World Cup of Hockey. David Krejci and David Pastrnak were named to Team Czech Republic, while Patrice Bergeron (Team Canada), Zdeno Chara (Team Europe), Dennis Seidenberg (Europe), Tuukka Rask (Team Finland) and Loui Eriksson (Team Sweden) also made the team.

Leicester City Clobbers Manchester City 3-1, Increases Premier League Lead

0

If the Premier League didn’t think Leicester City had a realistic chance of becoming champions this season, the other 19 clubs better take them seriously from this point forward. Leicester City, who was four points adrift of relegation at this point last season, increased its lead atop the Premier League standings to six points — the largest of the season — with a dominant 3-1 win over second-place Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The win was so impressive that Leicester City’s website crashed shortly after the final whistle because so many people were trying to access the page. Robert Huth easily was the man of the matc...

Updated: Friday, 04 Oct 2013 10:45 | Comments Tiger Woods cheers on his team-mates The United States took a one-point lead after the weather-delayed opening-day fourballs at the Presidents Cup at Muirfield. Matt Kuchar and Tiger Woods hammered Angel Cabrera and Marc Leishman 5&4 and Zach Johnson and Jason Dufner were almost as impressive against South Africans Richard Sterne and Branden Grace, winning 5&3. Steve Stricker's excellent up-and-down at the last earned himself and Jordan Spieth a one-up win over Ernie Els and Brendon de Jonge. But the international team salvaged some hope with a hard-fought one-up win for Jason Day and Graeme DeLaet against Hunter Mahan and Brandt Snedeker and a 2&1 success for Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel over Ryder Cup success
