by Zack Cox on Wed, Sep 28, 2016 at 2:03PM 2,626 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — Rob Gronkowski continues to make progress in his recovery from a nagging hamstring injury suffered during training camp. The New England Patriots tight end made his season debut last Thursday, suiting up against the Houston Texans after missing the Patriots’ first two regular-season games. “I felt good, definitely,” Gronkowski said before Wednesday’s Patriots practice. “You’re always sore no matter what after playing a game.

KTM delighted with progress after test
Tom Luthi (Test Rider MotoGP): “Thanks to my physiotherapist I was able to hold it all together as far as my physical condition is concerned. But also the track was new to me and compared to Mugello I had much more to work on the bike. I was gradually able to get used to it and to continually improve. I’m very happy with my performance. We made technical improvements regarding the fork and also the topic of the tires was naturally very interesting for me. Although I haven’t yet found the ideal combination where I can say I can now ride a half a second faster, the interplay between things like the wheelie control, traction
