Three for Temmerman, Enzo scores third win in 250 Pro Sport Moto 2
After winning the first two motos of his campaign, Temmerman executed his worst start and completed Lap 1 in third. Early-race speed has been the trademark of Temmerman so far in 2025, but in his second race on Wednesday, it took until Lap 5 for him to post his fastest lap of the afternoon of 1:54.101; that was also the fastest lap of the moto, giving him a sweep of fast times in addition to his winning streak.

More importantly, the fast lap allowed him to leapfrog his teammate Landen Gordon and Kade Johnson to take the lead.
Gordon earned the holeshot with Temmerman alongside him, but Johnson was the rider who made the most of the first lap and emerged as the leader. He held the top spot until Lap 5 when Gordon passed Johnson and Temmerman passed them both.
Once in the lead, Temmerman maintained control of the race and cruised to a 7.4-second lead.
The Visalia, California, native moved to 3-0 on the week with consecutive 250 Pro Sports wins entering the third and deciding moto, which will be held on Friday.
Temmerman's 1-1 results in the first two motos easily outpaced Gibson's 3-2 and Gordon's 2-4.
Johnson held on for the final podium spot in Moto 2, but coupled with a seventh-place finish in Moto 1, he is a distant fifth in the standings.
Fourth-place Gordon and Landon Hartz rounded out the top five.

England winger Abby Dow relishing World Cup opener in Sunderland
Abby Dow is relishing the opportunity to return to her roots when the Women's Rugby World Cup kicks off in Sunderland. England open the tournament at the Stadium of Light on Friday night with a clash against the United States in Pool A. Part of Dow's family hail from Wearside and some will be in attendance for the game, including her 98-year-old grandfather, Gordon. 'My dad was born in Sunderland and my grandad lived there his whole life,' the England winger said. 'We did the long old trips from Berkshire up to Sunderland for our Easters and everything. 'What's really cool is my grandad, he's 98 and he's coming to the game. He's never been to the new Stadium of Light. He'll be there, so I'm very happy he's going to be there. 'He's been to one of my rugby games before, it's a bit hard for him to come, so my auntie's been really helpful organising it all. 'It'll be so nice to have a piece of family there, come back to Sunderland and experience it again. 'When I heard Sunderland I know everyone went 'no it's really cold up north!' but for me I'm so glad it's there because it feels like a little bit of home.' Dow's return to Sunderland is made all the more poignant with it being the birthplace of her father, who died in 2021. She said: 'I think with it being my dad's side and my dad can't be there, it's just nice that I can still have a part of him there. 'He was at every single one of my games growing up. He's still there in his family and that side of my family wanting to show support and be part of it. 'You can't be here in a situation without everyone who has come before you, the parents who have busted a gut to drive around the country. 'In the women's game when I was growing up we were driving far, a lot, and my dad did everything. 'I remember him buying every single book he could find on how to coach rugby, he ended up being my coach and he did everything for me. 'It's so nice that although he's not there, it's nice his dad's there, his sister's there and we're able to celebrate that together.' This will be Dow's second World Cup after she made her tournament bow at the delayed 2021 edition, where England lost to New Zealand in the final. However, she believes the Red Roses are now a 'much stronger' team having unpacked what happened three years ago. Dow said: 'I remember coming back (after the 2021 World Cup), watching clips of the games looking at what we'd done and there were some girls crying. 'One thing (John Mitchell) has done really well is unpack and reset who we are, working out who we are individually, what we want to be as a team and we've combined them together in the route we needed to take. 'I think we're a very different team to what we were then, we're much stronger, more dynamic and bold to do what we want to do.'

Motocross 2025 250 results, highlights, finish at Unadilla: Jo Shimoda wins third round in five races
Jo Shimoda swept both motos at Unadilla MX in New Berlin, New York, and kept Haiden Deegan from clinching the championship until the season finale. Shimoda was willing to take risks on the rutted and tricky track that Deegan couldn't afford. After the race, Deegan reflected on Shimoda's ride, bemusedly saying, 'That first lap, I was like 'damn, bro, you need to chill.' ' Shimoda continued to ride on the edge to dominate Moto 1 by nearly 40 seconds. He was 13 seconds ahead of Tom Vialle in Moto 2 to score his third win in the last five rounds. Shimoda has not finished worse than second in a moto during the last three rounds. Click here for a recap of Unadilla Deegan had a bigger picture in mind. He could not afford an injury that might keep him off the bike next week at Budds Creek in Mechanicsville, Maryland, because a surging Shimoda would undoubtedly have the speed to overcome a 51-point gap in the remaining four motos. Deegan tested the limits of the track in qualification. He crashed in Qualification 1 and decided discretion was a better course for the race. Finishing second in Moto 1 and third in Moto 2, he was third overall. Deegan now has a 43-point lead over Shimoda. Vialle finished third with moto results of fourth and second. Vialle has shaken the effects of his miserable RedBud and Spring Creek rounds and has back-to-back podiums. With one round remaining, he can still move up a position to third in SuperMotocross points if he gains three on Garrett Marchbanks in the Pro Motocross finale. Relive Moto 1 Seth Hammaker has been on a rollercoaster for four rounds. He finished 34th at Spring Creek, and then thought he had put that behind him with a fourth at Washougal. He failed to back his top-five up with a 10th at Ironman, but found speed again at Unadilla to finish fourth overall with a third-place finish in Moto 1 and a sixth in Moto 2. Julien Beaumer was happy to be in contention for a top five after five consecutive rounds of overall results of 14th or worse. During his struggles, he discovered that a hard crash earlier in the season had diminished his eyesight slightly, and that affected his rhythm. With contact lenses in place, Beaumer finished sixth in Moto 1 and fourth in Moto 2.

Newcastle's pressing and defensive shape against Aston Villa showed how good they can be
Aston Villa away hasn't been the most pleasant fixture for Newcastle United in recent years. Before Saturday's 0-0 draw, Newcastle had only won once in their last nine visits to Villa Park — a 3-1 victory in January 2024. Making that trip without Alexander Isak or a proper centre-forward wasn't going to be easy, but Eddie Howe's side were unfortunate not to return home with the three points. Advertisement Newcastle missed chances, especially in the first half when Anthony Elanga and Anthony Gordon came close to scoring on different occasions. However, the bedrock of the team's strong performance was their pressing and defensive solidity that completely neutralised Villa's attack. Defending out of a 4-3-3 shape, Elanga and Harvey Barnes had different roles during the high press: the Swede focused on pressing Tyrone Mings and Newcastle's left winger was ready to pounce on Matty Cash. Meanwhile, Gordon was the initiator of the press and his task was to force Villa to build down their left side by arcing his run when pressing their goalkeeper, Marco Bizot. By doing that, Gordon was also blocking the passing lane into Ezri Konsa. Behind them, Joelinton and Bruno Guimaraes were marking Boubacar Kamara and Amadou Onana. Once Villa's goalkeeper was under pressure and trying to find a passing option, they pressed Villa's double pivot to force Bizot towards Mings, who had Elanga in his face. With Gordon blocking the pass back to the goalkeeper and Villa's deeper midfield duo taken out of the equation, Mings was forced wide, where Kieran Trippier was in position to press Lucas Digne. In this example, Barnes, Joelinton, Guimaraes and Elanga are in their designated positions, while Trippier is ready to press Digne depending on the situation. Gordon starts the press, but pivots to Konsa when Bizot plays the ball to Villa's right centre-back. To prevent Villa from building down the right, Sandro Tonali and Tino Livramento move up to mark Youri Tielemans and John McGinn. Interestingly, Trippier drops deeper to provide defensive cover, but Elanga maintains his narrow position on the other side because Newcastle are trying to force Villa towards the left. Unable to find a passing option, Konsa goes back to his goalkeeper, the trigger for Joelinton and Guimaraes to press Kamara and Onana. Meanwhile, Gordon's arced run forces Bizot towards the left, where Elanga and Trippier are in prime position to pounce. Newcastle successfully box Villa in, and Morgan Rogers' effort to provide a passing option is covered by Fabian Schar, who eventually collects Digne's lumped pass. In another example, Bizot throws the ball towards Digne and Trippier immediately moves up to press. The positioning of Elanga and Gordon means that Villa's left-back can't go back, so he plays the ball to Onana, who tries to find Tielemans, but Tonali is in position to intercept the pass. Newcastle's faultless pressing halted Villa's build-up in the first half and often forced Bizot to go long, where Schar and Dan Burn dominated the aerial duels, and the midfield were in position to win the second balls. Villa's goalkeeper played 14 long balls — defined as passes that travel at least 35 yards — in open play during the match and only completed three, two of which went to his left-back. When Howe's side defended in a deeper 4-5-1, the aim was to prevent Villa from accessing Rogers, Tielemans and McGinn between the lines. The main approach revolved around blocking the passing lanes into Villa's narrow forwards, with Guimaraes, Tonali and Joelinton key to that. Newcastle's midfield trio oscillated horizontally to block the passing lanes into Tielemans and Rogers, as seen in this example in the 25th minute. In case Villa managed to thread the ball into one of their narrow forwards, the free player in Newcastle's defensive line jumped forward to defend it. Here, Tielemans tries to overload the left side, but Schar reaches Onana's pass before him. The oscillation of Newcastle's midfield meant that they might be vulnerable towards the far side. However, the narrow positioning of Trippier and Livramento when the ball was on the other side made things difficult for Villa's narrow forwards, with Elanga and Barnes in position to support. Newcastle's pressing dropped in the second half, but their defensive solidity kept them in the game and allowed them to strike on the counter, which led to Konsa's sending-off. 'It's a hot day, maybe we struggled to keep our momentum and intensity,' Howe told TNT Sports after the match. 'I thought we made it difficult for them to gain any control in the game. Advertisement 'The home team is always going to have a period in the game — especially one of the quality of Aston Villa — where they are slightly on top, but we defended really well today.' Newcastle limited Villa to only three shots throughout the match, but they couldn't score from their 16, with Elanga and Gordon being the closest. Howe's team did everything right apart from putting the ball into the net. Whether it's Isak or someone else, Newcastle missed a proper centre-forward to cap off an incredible performance.
