Friday’s qualifiers: perfect Germany, in-form Lewandowski

Germany a formidable Czech challenge"Even our best possible performance might not be enough to get points," Czech midfielder Bořek Dočkal said of the meeting with Germany. The world champions have won all six games in Group C and could potentially book their place in Russia over the next week.

Many Bostonians Will Be Pulling For Conor McGregor In Floyd Mayweather Fight

For Conor McGregor, Boston is somewhat of a home away from home. The Irish UFC fighter will make his boxing debut Saturday in a mega-fight against the undefeated Floyd Mayweather, Jr. at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

It’s a molded piece and one piece. All they’ve done is cut away the bottom of it. So, when you see two different versions,

Lorenzo: “The fairing was better”

Jorge Lorenzo, P15: “It was a really positive day. In the morning we were really fast in the wet and it was the best feeling I’ve had in the wet with the Ducati. In the afternoon, it was an important session: we tried the new fairing that puts more weight on the front tyre, one of the two problems I’ve had until now.
