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

Justin Rose wins gold medal in golf
By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — From the top step of the podium, Justin Rose bowed his head as the Olympic gold medal was placed around his neck, and he stared at it for the longest time. Even for a major champion, this was more than he ever imagined. “It’s a moment you’ve seen in many other sports,” Rose said. “The medal ceremony is what it’s all about, really.” This was why the 36-year-old Englishman circled the Rio Games on his calendar all along, even as some of the biggest names in golf began pulling out.

Oldest player, winner and scorer at EURO
They say there is no substitute for experience and there have been times in UEFA European Championship history when this has proved the case – the prime example being Arnold Mühren, who provided the cross for Marco van Basten's astonishing top-spin volley in the 1988 final against the Soviet Union. He was 37 years and 23 days old at the time, setting a record for the oldest player to pick up a winners' medal.Muhren was fortunate because not all players can bow out in a blaze of glory. Germany duo Lothar Matthäus and Jens Lehmann set their own records on their final international appearances but while the latter had to settle for a runners-up medal in 2008, the former suffered
Donald Trump Tweets Support For ‘Friend,’ ‘Total Winner’ Tom Brady
Tom Brady has a friend in Donald Trump. The real estate mogul joined the likes of Tedy Bruschi and Chris Christie on Friday afternoon, as he came to the defense of the New England Patriots quarterback who is embroiled in controversy following the release of the DeflateGate report. Trump is very clearly Team Brady, explaining in a tweet that the quarterback would have destroyed the Indianapolis Colts even if he used a soccer ball. Solid humblebrag by Mr. Trump adding that the two are pals, by the way. Making his first public appearance since the Wells Report came out on Wednesday, Brady dodged the majority of DeflateGate questions that were tosse...
