Tour de France riders set for Stage 5 time trial

USA Today09-07-2025
Cyclists at the Tour de France are taking part in their first time trial of the 2025 event as Stage 5 is underway Wednesday, July 9, in Caen.
The 33-kilometer route starts and finishes in the historic city over a largely flat course that is tailor-made for time trial specialists. That means reigning Olympic time trial champion Remco Evenepoel should be a major factor in this stage.
Tadej Pogacar and Mathieu van der Poel are dueling for the overall lead after a thrilling finish to Stage 4 a day earlier. Van der Poel continues to wear the yellow jersey, though both riders are equal on time. Meanwhile Pogacar will have the polka dot jersey after gaining the most climbing points in Stage 4.

Lee Kiefer, Lauren Scruggs lead U.S. women's foil team to world title

The U.S. women's foil team followed its first Olympic title in Paris by winning the world title on Monday. Lee Kiefer, Lauren Scruggs, 16-year-old Jaelyn Liu and Emily Jing combined to win all four rounds, including routing France 45-24 in the final in Tbilisi, Georgia. Kiefer and Scruggs returned from the 2024 Olympic champion team. They also took gold and silver in the individual event in Paris. Kiefer won double gold at both the 2024 Olympics and 2025 Worlds. Last Friday, she earned her first individual world title to go along with team foil gold from 2018. Kiefer, a 31-year-old, four-time Olympian, now has nine career World Championships medals to go with her three Olympic gold medals. She is the second-most decorated fencer in U.S. history behind Mariel Zagunis, who won four Olympic medals and 14 World Championships medals. The World Fencing Championships run through Wednesday.

WATCH: Jalen Hurts makes NFL history with a first of its kind advertising campaign

Jalen Hurts is the first NFL player to endorse Sprite, and the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback continues to 'Keep the Main Thing, the Main Thing' Very rarely was Howie Roseman criticized more than he was when he expended a second-round selection to acquire Jalen Hurts. We understood why. The Philadelphia Eagles had just given Carson Wentz a massive extension. Oh... And, the quarterback factory comment didn't help. Fast forward to the present, and Jalen Hurts couldn't be any hotter. He has helped lead the Eagles to two Super Bowls, and he was named the game's MVP during the most recent. Acclaim has come as a result. He has received endorsement deals from Nike's Jordan Brand, Hulu, and Pepsi. He was also the face of an Olympic flag football commercial. His most recent endorsement puts him in rare air, as he has achieved something no other NFL star has ever done. Sprite has launched a new campaign. Guess who the face of that campaign is. Congratulations to Hurts as he continues to rewrite history. Sprite couldn't have selected a better NFL star to break new ground. Philadelphia couldn't have chosen a better leader to be the face of this franchise.
