TRENTO, Italy (AP) — Next year’s Giro d’Italia could see more “fireworks” than usual during the first two weeks after organizers unveiled a route designed to make the early stages more important. The full route of next year’s Giro was revealed in a televised ceremony on Friday after the first three stages were detailed earlier this week, including a tricky climb to Oropa on day two.Race organizer RCS Sport was keen to stress that there will be more opportunities than usual to build time gaps early on in the three-week race.“The riders who want to win it will have to be ready from the start and I expect a lot of spectacle,” Giro director Mauro Vegni said. The winners of the past two editions of the Italian Grand Tour — Primož Roglič and Jai Hindley — were among those on stage during the televised presentation at Trento’s Teatro Sociale.Roglič stormed to victory in this year’s Giro with a dominant ride on the penultimate stage, despite a mechanical problem.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Minnesota Twins star Byron Buxton had arthroscopic surgery Friday on his troublesome right knee with the goal of alleviating the irritation related to patellar tendinitis and returning to center field next season.“That’s his focus. That’s what he wants, and that’s what we all want,” president of baseball operations Derek Falvey said Friday. “So that’ll be our mission through the offseason, to get him there.”The recovery timeline for Buxton is projected to be much shorter than after the cleanup procedure he had on the knee last year, Falvey said in a season-ending interview with reporters. “The hope here is in just a few short weeks he’s getting moving around again and starting to go through physical therapy in the offseason,” Falvey said. “We’re hopeful that this will get him on track. It obviously wasn’t the season Byron wanted from a physical standpoint. We did all we could throughout the course of the year to try to put him in the best position to be succ...

Sean Payton and the Denver Broncos are still searching for the right chemistry

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:01:42 GMT

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Sean Payton is a man in search of his mojo. Payton never lost five of his first six games during his 15 seasons as the New Orleans Saints coach and the Broncos have never started out worse than the 1-5 record they brought back to Denver after their latest loss to Kansas City.Payton’s play-calling and the Broncos’ execution weren’t good enough to capitalize on a suddenly stout Denver defense that limited Patrick Mahomes to a single touchdown drive Thursday night. The result was a 16th consecutive loss to Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs (5-1), this time by a score of 19-8.Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has taken plenty of heat with the Broncos dead last in several statistical categories so far, and Payton deserves similar scrutiny after the Broncos’ bumbling offensive performance at Arrowhead Stadium on a night the Chiefs seemed ripe for an upset.Russell Wilson threw for a meager 95 yards, the third-lowest total of his 195 caree...

He was detained Thursday for questioning based on the monitoring of his phone calls in recent days, but investigators found no sign that he was preparing an attack, Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said. ’’There was a race against the clock....
