IMS Productions shouldn't be getting cute with "portal" sector times when the timing and scoring graphics package barely works during most IndyCar races.

What a finish! FDJ-Suez came with a plan and had Demi Vollering launch an attack on Côte de la Ginestière, the final climb of Stage 8. Demi's teammates formed a lead-out train for the climb's early portion, leaving Demi to attack off the front for the steepest section. (up to a 17% gradient)
Pretty chill on the penultimate day of the Tour de France Femmes. Lol, Alison Jackson is enjoying a Coke in a peloton.
I'm not a fan of this race, but the weight of normal traffic does far more damage to a city's roads than a weekend of IndyCar running.

Boxed in with no lead-out, but it didn't matter! Lorena Wiebes goes 2-for-2 at the Tour de France Femmes.
Lorena Wiebes takes the yellow jersey after Stage 1. As if there was any doubt, she showed why she's the best sprinter in the world.
Dude is just out in front of his house with a hose. Lol, what is he thinking?
This crisis might have been averted, but there's no way things go back to business as usual for FIFA. Lol, Gianni Infantino, you went mask off and the people who pushed for a boycott aren't going to forget it. apnews.com/article/worl...
Infantino abandoned his World Cup equity plan after seismic FIFA backlash. Here's what to know

I got to try desert racing yesterday and drive part of the Reno-to-Vegas Legends Rally. It was fun, but I'd probably wouldn’t do it again, haha. Oh, and a Navy F18 buzzed our side-by-side.
That was fun to have on in the background. Seems pretty bright to be having a "good night" though.
There's no rhyme or reason to the setlist of the World Cup. FIFA simply got the most famous artists who could get to show up at MetLife Stadium. It felt like an AI-organized recreation of an NFL Super Bowl halftime show.
Even in America, it's a very NFL concept. You can't really tell this is first World Cup that FIFA has organized themselves.
lauren!!!@formulauren.bsky.social · 3w agothe concept of a half-time show *in general* is still a foreign concept to me. a break is a break. give me a break.
I haven't posted about the Tour de France much this year, but it sucks that Jonas Vingegaard just crashed out of the race. Tadej Pogačar has had a dominant lead for most of the Tour, but Jonas gave him a reason to keep pushing.
