Monaco has become notorious in recent years for soporific races in which the leader controls the pace from the front in an attempt to secure the victory knowing that overtaking is almost impossible.Last year’s 78-lap race had just four overtakes in total. The average for 2025’s 24 grands prix, discounting sprints, was 66.9.F1 has taken on a new look this year, with increased levels of overtaking and on-track battles lasting for many laps, with drivers swapping positions repeatedly.Could this change the character of the race where overtaking is most difficult?On paper, there are reasons to believe it might. A bit,…
The remark stood out because it reflected a wider theme running through the replies. “Got to get past next fight first,” one fan wrote. “AJ is done,” posted another. “Itauma would humiliate AJ,” predicted a third commenter. “Man just talks s***, stfu and let’s see it then,” wrote another fan. Others questioned why Joshua was already discussing Fury, Daniel Dubois, Fabio Wardley, Agit Kabayel, Moses Itauma, and Deontay Wilder before getting through Prenga. The reaction highlights how sharply opinion has changed around the former two-time heavyweight champion. Joshua still talks openly about becoming a three-time world champion and competing in…
Salah has played for the senior national team for 14 years and his importance to Egypt is such that high-ranking government officials have been known to get involved when he has been injured.”I even had calls from Egypt’s Minister of Health,” recalls Dr Mohamed Aboud, the national team’s medic, about the time Salah suffered a serious shoulder injury in Liverpool’s defeat to Real Madrid in the 2018 Champions League final, leading to speculation he could miss the World Cup in Russia a few weeks later.”I told him not to panic, everything is going well.”Speaking from his medical clinic in the…
Turkey, Northern Ireland’s next opponents, sit one point ahead of them on seven points.Their meeting could therefore be crucial in terms of who secures second spot. Turkey were the 1-0 victors when the sides met earlier in the campaign, but NI will take confidence from their performances under McArdle so far.While the final two matches will not affect Northern Ireland’s World Cup play-off place, McArdle believes the outcomes could have longer-term consequences. “The higher finish gives you that ranking for the next round of the Uefa Nations League for the draws,” McArdle said.”The actual path one and path two [for…

Prograis was asked for his thoughts on a possible Garcia-Benn matchup. “I think it’s a great fight and I pick Conor Benn. I think Ryan Garcia is a better boxer, but if they get to a fight, which might happen, I will pick Conor Benn,” said Prograis to Fighthype.” Prograis pointed to Benn’s style as a major factor in his prediction. “He’s a raw fighter. He wants to get at you.” Ryan’s future has been the subject of speculation since his loss to Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero, while Benn has continued to push for major fights after rebuilding his position with…
Good morning from Dublin 🇮🇪. It feels like I’ve been away a long time, but it was only last Thursday when I flew to Budapest. A lot has happened in that time, I guess. Thankfully my trip back was pretty uncomplicated. I saw many stories of people who experienced delays and cancellations, losing lots of time and money (and probably little pieces of their mind too). I hope you’re all back safe and sound now though. I arrived to the airport, jumped in a cab to go into town to meet Mrs Blogs for a bite to eat, and on…
Dunlop cut a frustrated figure after the Superbike race after issues with his Honda but the Supersport race – a class he has dominated in recent years – was a different story.Having become the first rider to win on a Ducati in 30 years as he completed a Supersport double in 2025, Dunlop picked up where he left off in the class and was the fastest rider in practice week.But he was pushed hard on the first lap by Harrison, and Dunlop led by only a tenth of a second at the end of the first circuit of 37.73 miles…
Archer’s absence is probably the most high-profile example of an England player missing a Test as a result of the IPL.It strikes to the heart of the modern conflict between the money offered to the best players on the franchise circuit and the demands of Test cricket.Multi-format England players will be affected on annual basis, with the end of the IPL often coming just before England’s first Test of a home summer.Whilst Archer was with Rajasthan until the end of their campaign, batter Jacob Bethell left eventual champions Royal Challengers Bangalore in order to rest a finger injury. Bethell is…
