Cycling is one of the few sports in which you and I, the general public in all our averageness, can kit ourselves out with exactly the same setup as the pro riders. You can go to any Specialized-selling bike shop, ask for Remco Evenepoel’s bike, and walk away with an S-Works Tarmac (along with a fairly large hole in your bank account) without any questions asked. Of course, the bike you leave with isn’t Remco Evenepoel’s bike, it’s just the same model. Often it’s not even the same colour but for many people that’s enough. For a select few, however, it’s not.…
AEW AEW’s Adam Cole has taken issue with a body-shaming message sent to him online, making his feelings quite clear. Adam Cole last wrestled at AEW All Out in September 2023, teaming with MJF to take on The Dark Order (Alex Reynolds & John Silver) for Better Than You Bay Bay’s ROH World Tag Team Championship. He has been out of action with an ankle injury since then, though has gone on to form the Undisputed Kingdom and has the new All Elite Arcade podcast coming soon.

Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali has responded to the death of Ted Toleman, who owned and founded the team bearing his name. Having entered Formula 1 in the 1980s, Toleman and his team went on to compete in 70 grand prix between 1981 and 1985. Best known for launching the F1 career of Ayrton Senna, the Brazilian – who would go on to win three F1 drivers’ titles before his own death in 1994 – took Toleman to the podium three times in his debut season in 1984. Toleman ultimately sold his team to Benetton ahead of the 1986 F1…
Getty Images The final week of the 2023-24 NBA regular season is here, and the postseason gets started next week.

On Wednesday, the New York Knicks joined that list via Miami’s loss to the Mavericks, who have also sealed their top-six spot in the West. The Warriors and Lakers are officially locked into the Play-in tourney with Phoenix’s win over the Clippers, though their seeds are still TBD. Also on Wednesday, the Denver…
The stars are aligning for rookie Ludvig Aberg at the 2024 Masters.Well, perhaps not the stars, but certainly the sun, moon and Earth following the recent solar eclipse which plunged much of North America into total darkness for the first time since 2017.3Last time a rookie won the Masters there was also a solar eclipseCredit: GettyIt has been 45 years since a debutant won the Masters – that was Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979, who triumphed in a three-way sudden-death play-off with Ed Sneed and Tom Watson.Strangely enough, there was a solar eclipse that year too, and the eerie omen may…

Jalen Brunson is a bulldozer. He busts through ceilings. From dismissed to overpaid to overlooked, he became, without much debate, the best guard in the Eastern Conference this season (don’t tell me Donovan Mitchell or Damian Lillard). In my recollection — and, to be clear, my living knowledge of the league only goes back to the 1980s — there has only been one story like this in the NBA — a second-round pick and lead guard who turned from a role player to a star after his fourth season. The other player is Isaiah Thomas, the guy from the Celtics,…
