Tour, Stage 9: LIning It Up

Out of the original fifteen in the break by the time the leaders reached the last kilometer, it was down to just Daryl Impey (Dimension Data) and Tiesj Benoot (Lotto Soudal).  Benoot had the superior position for the sprint, but Impey is can win a field sprint.  It was going to take a true surprise to give the Belgium rider a chance to beat the national champion of South Africa.

Paris Roubaix: Poursuivants

This trio of Dimitri Claeys (Cofidis), Gianni Moscon (Sky) and Jurgen Roelandts (Lotto Soudal), recognized that they had missed the possible move of the day and took it upon themselves to go chase it down.  Behind them is a flotilla of motos including the neutral service moto sponsored by Mavic, and the TV cameraman.  As always, fans were lining nearly every inch of this eleventh section of pave.  All along this section were small signs thanking Tom Boonen for his years of cycling entertainment.

Rio Olympics: Out of the Blocks

Going back to the Women's Heptathlon, it was time for the 200 Meter race.  With the large field, the competitors were split into several heats.  Since they are racing the clock more than each other, the finishing time was the important thing.  Jessica Ennis-Hill (Great Britain), who is the defending Gold Medalist from the London Games, took this race victory, and moved herself into first overall.  Running next to her was Brianne Theisen-Eaton who faded on the home stretch,  She now sits in seventh place after the first day of the event.  These women will be back at it tomorrow.
