L’equipaggio di “Avav Luino” formato dall’armatore Guido Bernardinelli, il grande Flavio Favini nel ruolo di skipper e poi ancora da Nicola Bonarrigo e Stefano Rizzi, si è aggiudicato il Campionato Mondiale H-Boat 2024 che si è disputato dall’11 al 17 agosto nelle acque di Björneborg organizzata dal circolo velico finlandese Segelföreningen ha visto scendere in acqua un totale di 36 equipaggi da tutto il mondo tutti messi in riga da “Avav Luino” con il numero velico “ITA 555” timonata da Flavio Favini che ha dominato le regate di flotta conquistando il prestigioso titolo mondiale di classe Una vittoria che certamente fa bene alla nostra immagine nel mondo della vela Per quanto ancora poco conosciute in Italia le H-Boat sono una classe di barche molto popolari Le flotte più consistenti si trovano in Germania Originariamente progettate in Finlandia da Hans Groop nel 1967 questi monotipi sono apprezzati per essere sia veloci che facili da manovrare rendendoli ideali per la navigazione sportiva e amatoriale le H-Boat hanno una lunghezza complessiva di 8,28 metri e una larghezza massima di 2,18 metri Sono dotate di un piano velico molto efficiente con una randa e un fiocco che garantiscono buone prestazioni in diverse condizioni di vento la classe H-Boat è una delle più grandi classi monotipo in Europa le H-Boat godono di una comunità di velisti molto attiva con regate e campionati che si tengono regolarmente inclusi eventi di alto livello come i Campionati Europei e i Mondiali La classe è anche molto apprezzata per il fatto che le barche devono rispettare standard molto rigidi per essere considerate “classe H-Boat” Grande naturalmente la soddisfazione per il titolo mondiale appena conquistato da parte di tutto l’equipaggio di “Avav Luino” a partire proprio dall’armatore Guido Bernardinelli amministratore delegato dell’azienda La Marzocco e grandissimo appassionato di vela regatante e armatore dello stupendo Swan 55 “Alegher” con cui va in crociera se le H-Boat cominciano a essere diffuse e conosciute anche in Italia grazie a successi come questo E proprio al suo amore per il mare e le barche sul prossimo numero di settembre del Giornale della Vela

111/200abbonamenti@panamaeditore.it One notable baseball mind on the internet was left perplexed Baseball YouTuber Marc Luino, known for his channel “GiraffeNeckMarc,” posted a video giving his thoughts on the Jorge Soler trade His overall thoughts were that this was a great move for the Braves but didn’t make sense for the Angels He liked that the Braves were able to clear salary while also gaining a pitcher who had a year of club control “I don’t how you can get free innings like that very often along with shedding $26 million,” Luino said The Braves originally owned $26 million of the $32 million that Soler has on his contract over the next two seasons The Giants are on the hook for $8 million of retained salary this trade was essentially a salary dump that also helped clear a logjam at the designated hitter position Soler’s defense is liability and they have an all-star bat in Marcell Ozuna he didn’t like it for the Angels because the Angels were taking on all the salary for a DH-only hitter while forfeiting more of their shallow pitching depth Even if Canning isn’t that effective of a pitcher that doesn’t mean that Canning can’t become some surprise addition to the Braves starting rotation That’s how Reynaldo Lopez made his way onto the scene He was brought in as an affordable pitching option The Braves tend to have something up their sleeves “There are things that could improve in Cannings game and I would not be shocked if the Braves know exactly what that is,” Luino said Luino was especially a fan of Canning’s slider. According to Baseball Savant Canning’s offspeed pitches were in the 87th percentile in run value in 2024 Perhaps the Braves crack a code with that information He doesn’t necessarily have to be in the rotation He could make an effective addition to the bullpen too For a move that primarily helped shed salary HARRISON SMAJOVITS The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Sports Illustrated or its affiliates All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER Despite Marianne Vos not starting her title defence at Dwars door Vlaanderen Women due to illness Visma-Lease a Bike remain hopeful that she will be able to start Sunday's Tour of Flanders The team confirmed Vos would not take the start in Waregem just hours before the riders rolled out on Wednesday Marianne [Vos] isn’t fit enough to start today in Dwars door Vlaanderen Marianne!" read a social media post from Visma Women's team Sports Director Jan Boven shed some more light on the situation "She had a bad night and was really not feeling well," Boven told Cyclingnews at the women's start "Also this morning at breakfast it was not like we hoped and to avoid the risks in the direction of Flanders Boven was on stage to collect a prize for Vos, a T-shirt celebrating her 250th victory as a professional which she scored at Dwars door Vlaanderen in 2024 last year she won here and she has a bit special feeling about the race," said the sports director "It fits her also really well so she was pretty sad." Are Visma confident she will take the start of the Tour of Flanders in Oudenaarde on Sunday we hope for the best and that she can have an easy day today and do something starting again tomorrow." If Vos doesn't recover in time for Flanders then Visma-Lease a Bike should start the women's race with Pauline Ferrand-Prévot as leader and 19-year-old Imogen Wolff as another solid option it would hurt any two-leader strategy they had planned but Boven acknowledged how these things happen in cycling "Of course if on Sunday Marianne is not starting "When you have two really strong ladies you can make a more easy plan than with one leader but we'll adapt with new plans if we have to."

down to a sprint despite wave after wave of attacks coming in the final two laps of the race with Elisa Balsamo taking her third Trofeo Binda win Despite multiple attacks from the biggest names in the sport it came back together for a reduced bunch sprint in Cittiglio.  Hello and welcome to CyclingNews' live report of the Trofeo Alfredo Binda 2025 The lineup is truly amazing with almost every big star name on the starlist aside from the pure sprinters as well as world champion Lotte Kopecky The riders have completed sign on and are getting ready for the neutral start in Luino Visma-Lease a Bike lineup with a superb squad which includes the rider with the join most victories at this race (four) The three-time road world champion comes to this race to open her 2025 season after a return to cyclocross racing in the winter.  Alongside Vos is Pauline Ferrand-Prevot who comes in off the back of an impressive Strade Bianche podium as well as cyclocross world champion Fem van Empel as three young talents of Marion Bunel The riders have begun the neutralised start.  #TrofeoBinda The state#UAETeamADQ #UnitedToBeStronger #WeRideToInspire #BeyondLimits pic.twitter.com/b28g5MGQdYMarch 16, 2025 The official start is given and the racing begins for the 51st Trofeo Alfredo Binda the peloton is all together with no early moves.  The peloton is going at a fairly brisk pace at the start of the day with the average speed just under 40kph.  20km in and the peloton is all together as the race nears the only limb that isn't on the circuit today the 6.1km long Masciago Primo which has a gentle average of 3.9% in gradient.  The peloton is currently being led by Visma-Lease a Bike FDJ-Suez and Picnic-PostNL for their leaders as the race is still all together.  Onto the climb of Masciago Primo goes the race with 125km of racing to go.  Fem van Empel (Visma-Lease a Bike) wins the first QoM sprint on the Masciago Primo There is a mountains competition today and the cyclocross world champion has put herself in with a chance of taking it with that early win The race is still ticking along at a good pace with the race now just 14km for the first passage of the finish line The race has crossed the finish line for the first time today There was an attack by Nina Buijsman (FDJ-Suez) on the Masciago Primo climb with the riders who contested the QoM involved as well Amanda Spratt (Lidl-Trek) That has now been brought back by the bunch.  There is an intermediate sprint coming up in 5km in the town of Cuveglio It is the only intermediate sprint of the day.  Over 50km of racing complete with the peloton still completely together.  The racing is finally properly kicking off as the laps of the finishing circuit begin.  The riders are on the first passage of the Orino climb The riders will hope to make an early split here and get racing going.  They have a handful of seconds on the peloton.  The gap has extended to 50" as every major team is represented in this front group of 13 with the likes of AG Insurance-Soudal and Human Powered Health missing out.  There is actually 14 riders in the lead group as there is a second Canyon-SRAM-ZondaCrypto ridr alongside Neve Bradbury I believe it is Alice Towers but may be Antonia Niedermaier.  The gap to the leading group of 14 riders is now over a minute They have already gone over the other climb of the Casale and are now on the Orino once again.  The second Canyon-SRAM-ZondaCrypto in the lead group rider is Antonia Niedermaier.  The peloton is spread across the road but is keeping the pace high with the gap up to 1'25" between the leaders and the peloton.  AG Insurance-Soudal are the team who has finally taken responsibility in the peloton and are now chasing the leaders down as they head to the finish line again with just four laps remaining after that Around a minute and a half between the leaders and the peloton as they head over the halfway mark.  Just over halfway through Trofeo Binda and our 2 time winner @lizziedeignan is in the lead group of 14 with 1:30 on the peleton 👀 #TrofeoBinda@GettySport pic.twitter.com/wgnBoRXvTIMarch 16, 2025 The gap has suddenly tumbled to just 50" between the peloton and the leaders.  Mona Mitterwallner (Human Powered Health) tried to bridge the gap to the leaders but was heavily marked and wasn't allowed an inch.  The 20-year-old French rider drops back into the peloton Unclear whether that is due to bad legs or if Demi Vollering needs her back in the bunch.  She didn't drop back all the way to the peloton as they go over the Orino climb yet again.  Julie van de Velde (AG Insurance-Soudal) is on the front of the peloton and is closing the gap to the leaders with it now at just 32" between the two groups.  The leader's gap has been reduced to just 30" with three laps to go.  Just 22" between the leaders and the peloton now.  Christie and Rayer are struggling to follow the pace in the lead group as they go onto the Orino climb yet again.  The gap has extended out to 30" again.  The gap continues to expand with 40" splitting the break and the peloton.  They still have just over 30" on the peloton.  Live pictures show a completely new scenario as Noemi Ruegg (EF Education-Oatly) leading an attack over the top of the Casale climb as the riders are into the penultimate lap of the race Dominika Włodarczyk and Magdeleine Vallieres have a gap of 14" over the chasing peloton which has shrunk down substantially thanks to the constant climbs throughout the race.  FDJ-Suez dramatically ups the pace in the peloton now as they try and close the two riders at the front of the race with multiple riders slipping out of the back of the bunch on the Orino climb.  She doesn't get away but has ripped the peloton to bits Włodarczyk is now solo at the front of the race with 25km to go They are dragged back with a Picnic-PostNL rider going over the top that is dragged back as Włodarczyk is also brought back at the bottom of the descent.  Still quite a large peloton as Włodarczyk tries again as the pace lulls but FDJ-Suez now takes control.  Demi Vollering (FDJ-Suez) being forced to close the break down herself which she manages to do but a match used.  The former world champion uses her amazing descending skills to get a gap on the rest with a rider from Liv-AlUla-Jayco rider coming across to her as Justine Ghekiere (AG Insurance-Soudal) leading the chase in the peloton.  Anna van der Breggen is now solo with a gap of 16" over the chasing peloton This is an extremely dangerous move.  Van der Breggen is solo and no-one is helping Demi Vollering in the chase behind as the leader now has 19" gap.  UAE Team ADQ now take over in the chase but Van der Breggen has 20" on the peloton now.  The chase is now being controlled by UAE Team ADQ as Elisa Longo-Borghini will surely attack on the remaining Casale and Orino climbs before the finish Just 15" between Van der Breggen and the chasing peloton with 15km to go.  Picnic-PostNL now coming up to help UAE Team ADQ on the front as they turn onto the penultimate climb of the race Vollering and Longo-Borghini blitz the group and go clear as a duo Looks like Włodarczyk has managed to cling on at the back of the leaders as well.  As Kim Le Court (AG Insurance-Soudal) and Marianne Vos (Visma-Lease a Bike) bridge across to the leaders.  Joining the front is Mavi Garcia (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) Silke Smulders (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (Visma-Lease a BIke).  Van der Breggen drags the peloton back to the front with Femke Gerritse (SD Worx-Protime) launching over the top but she is marked heavily.  Cat Ferguson (Movistar) is still in the peloton as the riders get ready for the final climb She is closed down immediately by Silke Smulders (Liv-AlUla-Jayco) and the pace slackens again They get a gap with a Marta Cavalli and Marianne Vos chasing and being joined by Demi Vollering and Kim Le Court.  The Dutch star has a small gap but Longo-Borghini manages to close her down with Pieterse Marianne Vos sat up from the attack on the climb to sit in the peloton as Anna van der Breggen is working hard to bring the race back together again with 6km to go.  Liv-AlUla-Jayco and Visma-Lease a Bike are chasing hard.  The peloton come back to the leaders but Pieterse is using her cyclocross skills to force a gap Vollering and one of the Liv-AlUla-Jayco riders follow but SD Worx-Protime is closing the gap yet again with 2km to go.  Van der Breggen comes back to the front as she appears to be working for her SD Worx-Protime teammate The race comes back together and it is going to be a sprint finish Elisa Balsamo (Lid-Trek) comes from nowhere to win Trofeo Alfredo Binda 2025 ahead of Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime) and Cat Ferguson (Movistar).  It is Elisa Balsamo's third victory at Trofeo Alfredo Binda She just needs one more win to level up with Marianne Vos and Maria Canins on four victories.  Make sure to read all

Fanatics what are we doing, we can see his jersey tucked in through his pants 😂 pic.twitter.com/GwwGfYbZY5 Nike and MLB really ruined the designs especially the pants it’s basically see through now they look so cheap 😭 pic.twitter.com/akYCxbVvPi these pants don’t leave much to imagine And there have already been multiple pictures of players wearing the new uniform pants that represent clear violations of their privacy none of the borderline explicit photos that have surfaced so far include their players But the pants with the home red pinstripes are indeed see-through Not only are the pants see-through, but Stephen J. Nesbitt, Patrick Mooney and C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reported Thursday that there is a shortage of the uniform pants which has led to some players being forced to wear either old Nike pants or Majestic ones in Spring Training they are not certain if alternate jerseys will be available on time for the start of the season.” which seemingly was put in place to limit the amount of different uniforms Fanatics had to produce per team But maybe the pant shortage is a blessing in disguise There’s five weeks until Opening Day Fanatics is going to have to produce a ton of pants Maybe they can produce ones that players don’t hate and that don’t force a TV-17 rating to go up on the telecast before every inning begins Shop for vintage Philadelphia Phillies shirts and hats!

Ferrand-Prévot started her 2025 with a stage race at the UAE Tour and finished forgettable 17th overall Before that she hadn't raced a stage race on the road since the Women's Tour in 2018 but the last time she raced more than five stages on the road was ten years ago at the Giro With so little recent experience with races like this Ferrand-Prévot is going into the Vuelta without the pressure of results "I started the spring with few expectations – nothing was required I’ll approach La Vuelta with the same mindset," she said Even if Ferrand-Prévot is going into the race with an open mind she will still be in Spain to get some kind of result and she likely will want to prove to herself and the world that a Tour de France bid is realistic So what can we expect from the Frenchwoman There may be questions over her ability in the mountains and stage racing simply because she hasn't been doing that on the road but if you look to more than just results sheets there are a lot of signs that suggest Ferrand-Prévot will step back into stage racing with similar success as in the Classics you may assume that it's a fairly flat affair but in actual fact many of the hardest courses include some serious climbing and elevation gain but mountain bikers are used to tough uphill efforts so there's no reason to think that Ferrand-Prévot isn't a strong climber – the hillier MTB courses are the ones she tends to dominate her pedigree in Cape Epic proves that racing over multiple days is not automatically an issue we can look to Ferrand-Prévot's history in stage races as a suggestion of how she gets on in this races physically Yes, the modern Grand Tours are thought to be a lot harder, and the level generally higher, but her second overall in the Giro in 2014 and wins in races like Emakumeen Bira do show that she is the kind of rider who can recover day after day and put together a good race over a longer period At the Vuelta, the real key days will be the summit finishes on stages 5 and 7 and they offer challenges much bigger than anything Ferrand-Prévot has done so far this year but when the Frenchwoman is climbing the 10 kilometres up to Lagunas de Neila that cobble trophy isn't going to mean much Ferrand-Prévot was realistic about her Tour goal saying she wants to win it within three years but the Vuelta marks perhaps the very first step in that project The first part of the Vuelta challenge didn't go especially smoothly – Visma-Lease a Bike were forced to complain after bike check delays scuppered their TTT start and the team lost 21 seconds in the opening stage – but there's still a lot to come this week Even if the stage 1 time loss proves impactful on the GC the way Ferrand-Prévot is able to climb will be important "I believe it will be a key experience for my development and hopefully we’ll be able to lay some foundations for the Tour de France "I’m ready to give it my all together with my teammates Ferrand-Prévot raced the Giro d'Italia Femminile three times from 2013 to 2015] which definitely adds some excitement." Her Classics results may have put Ferrand-Prévot clearly in the narrative her journey to a hoped-for Tour de France Femmes victory starts now and we shouldn't doubt her abilities as a climber but the truth is that the sport and the stage racing discipline has changed dramatically since she last took part in races like that Ferrand-Prévot believes that she can contest in the Tour her Classics campaign might have been proof enough of her abilities and could truly make or break her chances of being counted as a serious GC contender and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has a big week ahead to try and answer them director of the Oncology Institute of Southern Switzerland in Bellinzona declined to confirm the report of the weekly Sonntagszeitung He told The Associated Press Monday he could not comment because of patient confidentiality The paper said Harrison has visited Switzerland's Italian-speaking region of Ticino regularly in the past two months Italy — a 40-minute drive south of Bellinzona — and was treated at the institute during May and June had surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester at the beginning of May to remove a cancerous growth from one of his lungs His lawyers said that after the successful operation he had traveled to Italy to rest He also was treated for throat cancer in the late 1990s after he found a lump on his neck He had surgery followed by two courses of radiation therapy at the Royal Marsden Hospital “Luckily for me they found that this nodule was more of a warning than anything else There are many different types of cancerous cells and this was a very basic type,” he said at the time Harrison also suffered a punctured lung when he was stabbed by a man who broke into his home in Henley-on-Thames was acquitted by reason of insanity and confined to a mental hospital the intensely private Harrison said: “I had a little throat cancer I'm a little more short of breath than I used to be so I don't see myself on stage lasting a full 14 rounds.” the youngest and quietest of the Fab Four went on to a successful solo career with hits including “My Sweet Lord.” New director for the MAN Art Museum of the Province of Nuoro: she is Chiara Gatti, an art historian and critic, born in 1973.

I’m not going to die on you folks just yet.” Shortly after becoming cancer-free, George almost died in a home invasion in 1999 The former Beatle downplayed the injuries he sustained during the attack later said the injuries likely took years off George’s life Doctors at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota diagnosed him with lung cancer he underwent successful surgery to remove a growth George received news his cancer had spread to his brain George released a statement: “The reports were unsubstantiated Harrison is active and feeling very well in spite of the health challenges he has had this year George Martin… has emphatically denied speaking to any newspaper.” When George and Olivia started a worldwide search for treatment It was reported that he was recovering from his lung surgery in a villa in Luino but he was actually receiving “grueling” cobalt treatments for a brain tumor at the San Giovanni hospital in Bellinzona the Harrisons’ treatment search led them to Dr Gil Lederman at Staten Island University Hospital in New York they didn’t pick the best doctor if they wanted to remain private he publicly thanked fans for their concern but urged them not to worry his friends knew his illness was far worse than he let on They also knew he was downplaying his illness for the sake of privacy “Since the media got wind of University Hospital’s involvement in Harrison’s treatment reporters have descended upon Staten Island and staked out the hospital’s Ocean Breeze campus looking for celebrity visitors and whatever new information they can get.” A source claiming to be close to George witnessed Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr’s arrival for their final meeting together “Paul was tearful and sad about seeing George sick,” the source said Lederman also claimed he was there and told Rolling Stone about the private moment between the three former bandmates “It was a spirited affair,” Lederman claimed but George remained very much the man of dignity Lederman did not uphold his duties of doctor-patient confidentiality by any means He divulged what it was like treating George to his friends Harrison was determined that his death not become the object of media attention He hired Los Angeles security specialist Gavin de Becker.” He used Olivia’s maiden name to check into UCLA Medical Center as Jorge Arias Tom Petty, George’s fellow Traveling Wilbury, witnessed how the press treated George in his last months They hounded him and intruded on his privacy so it’s no wonder George did everything in secret the media wasn’t very sweet in the last year of his life,” Petty told Rolling Stone “He was probably the most hounded of his whole life when he was trying to deal with that He would have helicopters follow him when he left the house George continued to pay the price even in death Lederman gave “touching anecdotes” to Good Morning America Because of the media frenzy that George’s death sparked worldwide the details of his funeral were kept entirely secret the Hollywood Forever Cemetery coordinator “We were told everything must be handled in the strictest secrecy and that the arrangments were to remain completely confidential George’s funeral, memorial service, and the scattering of his ashes in the Ganges River were the only private affairs that stayed between the attendees The former Beatle might not have been granted peace in his last months but none of that mattered once he was ready to leave his body Later, the only details Olivia would divulge about the moment George’s soul left his body for the spiritual world was that you wouldn’t need to light the room if you were trying to film it. Her husband “lit the room.”
