UAE Team Emirates XRG regains lead in Volta a Catalunya
UAE Team Emirates XRG's Juan Ayuso continued his close battle with Primož Roglič (Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe), taking the upper hand in an intermediate sprint and reclaiming the leader's jersey by a margin of just 1 second, heading into the final weekend of the Volta a Catalunya.
Elsewhere at Coppi e Bartali, Igor Arrieta of the UAE Team Emirates XRG took a solid second place on stage 4 behind the solo arrival of Ben Tulett (Visma-Lease a Bike).
There was movement in the final 20km from veteran climber Rafał Majka, who put in a strong attack on the penultimate climb of the day, taking with him the Belgian duo of Jarno Wildar (Lotto) and Mauri Vansevenant (Soudal Quick-Step). But as the steep Valico Rio Chiè climb approached, it was Arrieta who came to the fore. The Spaniard followed the right wheels and showed his strength as the slopes reached their toughest.
Crossing the line in second behind the day's winner, Arrieta moves into fourth place in the general classification, just 23 seconds down on the race lead of Tulett with a stage to go.

Arsenal crushes 10-Man Ipswich 4-0, halting Liverpool's title celebration
London - Saba: Arsenal delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town at Portman Road on Sunday, postponing Liverpool's potential Premier League title coronation. Belgian forward Leandro Trossard opened the scoring for the Gunners in the 14th minute, followed by Gabriel Martinelli doubling their lead in the 28th minute. Arsenal capitalized on their numerical advantage in the second half, with Trossard netting his second goal in the 69th minute and substitute Ethan Nwaneri adding the fourth two minutes from time in the 88th minute. Despite their dominant performance and fresh off their Champions League quarter-final triumph over Real Madrid, Arsenal could have further increased their lead but for several near misses. This emphatic win means Liverpool will have to wait to officially clinch their 20th Premier League title. Arsenal now sit 10 points behind the league leaders, who are scheduled to play Leicester City later today. For Ipswich Town, the defeat leaves them languishing in 18th place with just 21 points. They face a daunting 15-point gap to safety with only five games remaining, making their chances of avoiding relegation increasingly slim. Whatsapp Telegram Email Print
