Reusser Maintains Lead as Le Court Wins Stage
Kim Le Court of Mauritius won the second Tour de France Femmes stage of her career in Tournon-sur-Rhône, recovering from a mechanical problem on the Col de Lalouvesc climb to join the breakaway and outsprint Cédrine Kerbaol of France and Queen of the Mountains leader Puck Pieterse.
Marlen Reusser maintained her overall lead over rival Demi Vollering as the race continued through central France. "Winning a stage in a Tour de France is very special," Le Court said after her victory. h-doctor.club
2026 MLB Odds: 5 Best Post-Trade Deadline Bets
The Major League Baseball trade deadline has come and gone, leaving many teams looking quite different than they did a week ago. The most notable trade, of course, was the back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers acquiring left-handed ace Tarik Skubal from the Detroit Tigers. However, plenty of other deals went down. Let’s take a look at five post-deadline bets I like. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners. If you sign up or place a wager, FOX Sports may be compensated. Read more about Sports Betting on FOX Sports. CUBS TO WIN WORLD SERIES (+1600) While a lot of the attention was on the Dodgers adding Skubal, the Cubs quietly had a very productive deadline. Pitchers Kevin Gausman, Braxton Garrett, Clay Holmes and Ryan Zeferjahn were all brought in, and should thrive with the support of an elite Cubs’ defense. Chances are Chicago will have to go the long route to the World Series, likely entering the playoffs as a wild-card team. However, while the Cubs trail the Brewers by 5.5 games in the NL Central, the two teams meet seven times between now and Sept. 9, giving the Cubs a chance to get back into the division race. Coming off of a sweep of the Dodgers, Chicago looks like a real contender. NATIONALS UNDER 75.5 WINS The Nationals have exceeded expectations so far this season, but I’m not sure the feel-good story continues into the late summer. All-star outfielder James Wood is currently on the injured list with an oblique injury, and fellow all-star Luis Garcia Jr. was just traded to the New York Yankees before the deadline. Sporting one of the worst bullpens in baseball, it might be a rough ending to what has been a good season in Washington. ANGELS UNDER 62.5 WINS While the other team in L.A. goes for its third straight title, the Angels were once again sellers at the deadline. Pitchers Jose Soriano and Ryan Zeferjahn were dealt, as was outfielder Jo Adell. Mike Trout remains in town, but the oft-injured future Hall of Famer isn’t enough to keep the Angels from limping to the finish line and staying under this win total. CUBS OVER RED SOX (+10000)Exact World Series result Back to the Cubs. If the 16-1 payout doesn’t do it for you, they are 100-1 to defeat the Red Sox in the Fall Classic. Neither team is leading their division, but both teams are red-hot and within striking distance of first place. The Red Sox enter play on Thursday having won seven straight games and 30 of their last 35. The Red Sox to defeat the Cubs is 150-1 if you want to go that route and go for the even bigger payday, but playing either combination I think is a fun bet to have, and one you might be glad you made come October. ORIOLES TO BE 6-SEED (+750) The Orioles enter play on Thursday just a half-game behind the Rangers for the final American League wild-card spot (6-seed). If the Orioles get into the playoffs, they will likely be the 6-seed, as they trail the 5-seed by 6.5 games. At +750, the Orioles snagging the final playoff spot is a good bet in an American League playoff race that is wide open. .
NASCAR adjusts stage break rules to shorten lengthy caution periods
One of the pitfalls of the stage racing format across all three NASCAR national touring divisions is what happens when there is a caution in the closing laps of a stage.
For example, there have been times in recent NASCAR history where there was a caution at the end of the stage, a one or two lap shootout, the stage break itself, and then a caution in the opening laps of a stage.

Kim le Court gana una etapa de escaramuzas antes de la batalla del Ventoux que decidirá el Tour de Francia
Van aceleradas por carreteras infames hacia las viñas verdes de Syrah junto al Ródano, pero a Lotte Kopecky le asalta antes la sed por la departamental que asciende a Lalouvesc, pueblo abrasado por el sol y la canícula, y ávida agarra la botella de San Pellegrino frizzante, qué lujo, de un aficionado, se moja un poco el cuello y, sintiéndola fresca y sedienta de sus labios, le da un buen trago. Después, ataca Paula Blasi, dinamitera. Más que un ataque es una aceleración a 50 kilómetros de la llegada, pues nadie le cede un metro a la ciclista catalana, siempre pimpante en el primer grupo, siempre con Elisa Longo Borghini, una sombra tricolor, en su chepa, protegida del viento. Todo está estudiado. Hasta el juego está planificado en el UAE. Es el día de las guerrilleras. El día de la campeona italiana que quiere borrar de su memoria el sufrimiento de la contrarreloj y el llano hacia el Mont Brouilly del miércoles y cuando la francesa local ataca en el pueblo de Saint Félicien, a mitad del descenso, se pega a su rueda y se larga. Quedan 31 kilómetros para la meta. Se pone en cabeza del grupito de seis que se forma y sin mirar atrás, sin rencores ni cálculos, tira a toda máquina por valles y collados. Nunca gozan de más de 30s de ventaja, pero gracias a ella no enlaza el pelotón de la líder, Marlen Reusser, donde las ráfagas de Demi Vollering sobresaltan a quienes preferirían dormir, y despierta bien a la suiza del Movistar, que roza la caída en una curva de un descenso. Llega exhausta a la última recta, donde la africana Kim le Court, campeona de Mauricio, esprinta fácil, imparable, con la misma energía y velocidad con la que ganó el año pasado la Lieja.
