CESANO MADERNO, Italy — Overall leader Isaac Del Toro had a chance to take it relatively easy during the 18th stage of the Giro d'Italia on Thursday, which was won by German rider Nico Denz with a solo breakaway.
Del Toro, the first Mexican rider to wear the pink jersey, finished safely in the main pack following the 144-kilometer (89-mile) route from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno, which featured three minor climbs early on before a relatively flat finale.

Inter and Bournemouth could fight for 30m-rated former Juventus defender

Thursday's reports claim that Inter and Bournemouth have both identified Genoa's Koni De Winter as a potential replacement for Yann Bisseck and Illia Zabarnyi, who have both been linked with moves away from their respective clubs. Reports Inter and Bournemouth monitoring De Winter According to reports from Inter, who are also targeting the signing of Ademola Lookman from Atalanta, are also looking at strengthening in other areas of the pitch. Thursday's reports claim that De Winter is still among Inter's ideal candidates to come in if they go into the market for a new defender, given his age, profile and experience in Serie A.

(Photo by) The De Winter links come just one day after Crystal Palace saw a €32m bid for Nerazzurri defender Yann Bisseck turned down. Calciomercato suggests that a fee in the region of €25m-€30m could be enough to convince Genoa into selling De Winter, who joined the club for a fee of around €8m after an initial loan from Juventus. Juventus will also be entitled to a 20% cut of De Winter's next move. There is, however, also interest in the Belgium international from the Premier League, specifically from Bournemouth, who will also need to find a replacement defender if Zabarnyi leaves for Paris Saint-Germain.

This 500-Year-Old Secret Garden in Venice Just Opened to the Public for the First Time—and You Can Only Visit by Water Taxi

The historic Convent Garden of the Redeemer in Venice, Italy, has officially opened to the public. The garden recently underwent a multi-year renovation under the direction of the Venice Gardens Foundation. Visitors should plan a visit in advance, as tickets are required for entry. Travelers can now step back in time and visit one of Venice's historic "Secret Gardens." Located on Venice's Giudecca Island, the ancient Convent Garden of the Redeemer has officially opened to the public for the first time in its 500-year history. The garden opened late last year following a multi-year renovation of the gardens, church, and greenhouse The renovation was organized by the city's Venice Gardens Foundation, a non-profit focused on the preservation of Venetian culture, architecture, and gardens. The foundation documented the multi-year project online, offering viewers a behind-the-scenes preview of the work, including bringing in trees, dirt, and other equipment for the project. "After renovation work carried out respecting the spirit of the place, through a design that has lasted over time but at the same time looks to the future with conscious, responsible commitment... the convent garden has been opened to visitors for the first time in history," the foundation wrote on its website. Travelers can now enter the garden during public visiting hours on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The operating hours vary by season, with extended hours of 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. in the summers from June 1 to Sept. 20. During the winter season, between Nov. 1 and March 31, the hours shorten to 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tickets are required to enter to the garden and are available for purchase on the foundation's website. Tickets start at €13.50 ($15.69) with the processing fee, but are discounted to €7.50 ($8.72) for residents and children who are 6 to 12 years old. A search by Travel + Leisure confirmed availability for tickets throughout the summer and fall. Even with tickets, visitors are still encouraged to visit the Venice Gardens Foundation website in advance of their trip and confirm the operating hours. Once their tickets are secured, travelers can find the secret garden by taking a water taxi to the Redentore stop. After leaving the boat, head left before turning right after the Church on Calle dei Frati. The entrance door will then be on the left, according to directions posted on the foundation's Instagram. The garden is located alongside Venice's historic Redentore Convent. The island is also home to art galleries, hotels and hostels, and gorgeous waterfront restaurants. Local experts have called the once-closed gardens a "500-year-old retreat for mind and body" and a "secret garden," according to a first-person review on Venice Insider.
