Primoz Roglic takes the lead from Juan Ayuso on final stage to win Volta a Catalunya
A four-time Spanish Vuelta champion, Roglic prevailed in the final 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) to win the decisive 88-kilometer (54-mile) seventh stage in Barcelona and clinch the overall victory.
Ayuso had entered the final day in the lead following a sixth stage that was shortened because of extreme wind.
Roglic, the 35-year-old Slovenian of team Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe, finished the race 28 seconds ahead of Ayuso of UAE Team Emirates XRG, and 53 seconds in front of Movistar Team's Enric Mas, another Spaniard.
After he claimed the 2025 Volta a Catalunya and Stage 7, hear from Primoz Roglic on what he called an "honest race," the curveball that a shortened Stage 6 threw him and how he and his team adjusted to win.

Lakers Hiring Assistant Coach With Luka Doncic Ties: Report
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Los Angeles Lakers made waves back in February when they acquired star point guard Luka Doncic from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for 11-time All-Star Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-round pick. Fast forward six months, and the Lakers have committed three more years and $165 million in Doncic to make him the new face of the team, and some news broke on Monday that further cements the team's desire to continue investing in the 26-year-old Slovenian. In 28 games after the trade, Doncic led the Lakers in scoring (28.2 points per game), rebounds (8.1 per game), and steals (1.6 per game), and he ranked second to LeBron James in assists (7.5 per game). He also led the team with 30.2 points and 5.8 assists per game in the postseason. More Basketball: Angel Reese Sends Cryptic 3-Word Message Before Sky vs Sun Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison is still taking heat for shipping Doncic out of town, and after Monday's news, he's likely still in the dog house with a majority of the team's fans. "The Lakers are hiring Jeremy Holsopple as their new head strength and conditioning coach, @TheSteinLine has learned," NBA insider Marc Stein wrote on X. "As Dallas' athletic performance director, Holsopple was named as the NBA's top strength and conditioning coach in March 2021." Luka Doncic #77 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts to his three-point basket against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second quarter of Game Four of the First Round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Target... Luka Doncic #77 of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts to his three-point basket against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the second quarter of Game Four of the First Round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs at Target Center on April 27, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. MoreMore Basketball: Fever Coach Stephanie White Gives Major Caitlin Clark Injury Update The Mavericks parted ways with Holsopple, the NBA's Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year in 2021, after the NBA Finals last year. He spent the 2024-25 season out of the NBA, but now he's reuniting with Doncic, who's turned quite a few heads with his impressive offseason transformation, as documented in Men's Health magazine last month. Holsopple had been with the Mavericks from 2013 to 2024, and he was credited for helping Doncic not only keep up his strength and conditioning, but he also helped him navigate life in the WNBA as a teenage Slovenian adjusting to American culture. However, it was reported that he was fired because Harrison took issue with his influence over Doncic. "(Former director of health and performance Casey) Smith, Holsopple and (manual therapist Casey) Spangler were all longtime Mavs employees who had helped Doncic, a Slovenian who spent his adolescence in Spain, make the major cultural transition after coming to Dallas as a teenager," ESPN's Tim McMahon wrote back in February. "They had become confidantes for the superstar, but sources said Harrison saw them as 'enablers' of Doncic, despite them being immensely respected by their peers throughout the league."

Coco Gauff, Carlos Alcaraz moving on at Cincinnati Open
MASON, Ohio — Coco Gauff yearns to be on "Love Island," a reality TV show where, apparently, people fall in love. Over and over. I am not the target demographic and unlike the Cincinnati Open's No. 2 seed, Gauff has started online "Love Island" chat groups and and X threads. Until now. After methodically knocking out Xinyu Wang of China 6-3, 6-2, Aug. 10, Gauff had a happy smile and an enthusiasm about both her tennis and Love Island. She's pleased with both. Following Gauff on the P&G Center Court was the men's No. 2 seed, Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard looked in need of an island, but not a loving one, after he struggled with 33-year-old Bosnian veteran Damir Dzumhur. While Gauff was chirping away in press, Dzumhur was taking the second set from Alcaraz, who did, finally, win 6-1, 2-6, 6-3. Alcaraz finally got the service break he needed in the eighth game of the final set with the help of unnecessary drop shots from Dzumhur. Alcaraz gave himself one match point with an ace and it was all he needed. The Spaniard who leads the ATP Tour with 49 wins, made a good show of looking happy while he shook hands and spoke to the crowd, but his head was handing when he walked off. Dzumhur is just happy to be playing. During the 2022 French Open he experienced stomach pains severe enough to put him in a Paris hospital for a month with pancreatitis. His stay included six days in intensive care. He spent his 30th birthday in that hospital and finally convinced reluctant French doctors who were fearful of his travel, to let him go home to a hospital in Belgrade. 'I was young and healthy and after I lost my first-round qualifying I didn't know if I would make it out alive,' he said. Dzumhur said doctors could never figure out how he got the illness that usually affects those already sick or who are drinkers. Gauff was skipping and cheerily swinging her racket as she walked off the court In her pre-tournament press conference, Gauff said this time of year needs some special energy. 'It feels like you're playing the race car game,' Gauff said, 'and you have the little nitro button to push. That's what it feels like. You just want to give it your all for this time of year. Not only because I'm an American playing in the biggest spot for our sport in the country, but I think the final Slam of the year is a big moment. We have the Asian swing after, but everyone's attention is on the U.S. Open. It feels like pushing that nitro button and leaving it all out there.' Gauff clearly plays many games unfamiliar to those of us out of our, oh, 30s because that nitro button seems not to be near me. Back to Love Island by the way. Gauff said she hosted two chat groups about the show this summer and was on an X thread too. 'But I had to get away from that,' she said. 'I need all my focus on tennis now.' Alcaraz seemed to be missing that nitro button as well as an addiction to "Love Island." He especially could have used some super power in that horrendous second set. He righted himself in the fourth game of the final set with a service break that came courtesy of a long forehand by Dzuhmur. But for much of that second set it seemed Alcaraz was searching, if not for "Love Island," at least for a tennis ball he could keep in the court. He made an uncharacteristic 44 unforced errors in the match, a statistic that won't work in his favor in New York. 'I lost my rhythm in the second set,' Alcaraz said. 'And he played better too. But I lost my faith for two or three points and then gave away some free points and he was ready for that.' Alcaraz is also a TV fan, though his tastes run more towards soccer than "Love Island." There is a Spanish version of "Love Island" that he doesn't watch, doesn't want to watch and really could care less about. But when told that Gauff is addicted to the show Alcaraz laughed and said, 'I can see Coco loving it. For sure.' So these two second-ranked players seem unlikely to pair up on that reality show. Gauff is enjoying the heat and the fast courts here. She was particularly pleased with her service return, something she once considered a weakness and now considers a strength. 'Returning was one of weaker parts of my game when I first started, knowing when to go for first strike. Knowing situations too, 30-all maybe not go for it. I'm learning.' Up next for Gauff is 25-year-old Dayana Yastremska of Ukraine who stunned Gauff at Wimbledon and gave the American an unexpected first-round loss. 'This match, for me, will be a good measure of where my game is now,' Gauff said. 'That was a tough loss for me but I always have trouble against her. When she plays me she seems to pull winners out of everywhere.' Yastremska beat Gauff 7-6 (3), 6-1 at Wimbledon and in the second set Gauff almost seemed to give up. She wasn't close to reaching many shots and could find no response to the way Yastremska kept Gauff moving back and forth and from baseline to net and around and around. But Gauff seems pretty zen about getting another chance against Yastremska. Alcaraz gets a surprise opponent next in Serbia's Hamad Medjedovic who upset No. 26 seed Tallon Griekspoor of the Netherlands 6-4, 7-6 (3).
