MotoGP's Marini seriously injured in Japan testing crash
Italian MotoGP rider Luca Marini has suffered serious injuries, including a collapsed lung, after a heavy fall while testing for an endurance race in Japan.
Marini was hospitalised after crashing at the Suzuka circuit on Wednesday, his Honda HRC team said. He was stabilised and will remain under observation in Japan until fit to travel.
The 27-year-old rider posted a picture on his Instagram feed of him lying in a hospital bed. "Thanks everyone for the support! I'll keep you posted," he wrote in Italian.
Marini, who finished 15th in the British MotoGP at Silverstone on Sunday, was testing for the Suzuka 8-Hour.
The annual endurance race, one of Japan's biggest motorcycling events, is held at the Honda-owned home Suzuka circuit that also hosts the Formula One Japanese Grand Prix.
Marini completed the first day without incident but crashed heavily on the second, suffering a dislocated hip, knee ligament damage, fractures to his sternum and collarbone and a right collapsed lung.
"Honda HRC and the Honda HRC Castrol team will support Marini fully in his recovery," the team said in a statement.
Marini is 13th in the 2025 MotoGP world championship standings after seven races.

Chicago TV Anchor's Husband Dies at 42 After Brain Cancer Diagnosis: 'Forever in Our Hearts'
Nicholas 'Nick' Adamski, the husband of ABC 7 Chicago Traffic Anchor Diane Pathieu, has died at age 42 Adamski had been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma brain cancer in December 2020, after a seizure led to him being rushed to the hospital 'He was a man who served others, uplifted everyone he met and never stopped smiling — even through the hardest days," Pathieu said of Adamski following his death Tuesday, May 27A Chicago TV news anchor's husband has died at just 42 years old after being diagnosed in recent years with brain cancer. Diane Pathieu, an ABC 7 Chicago traffic anchor, said that her husband, Nicholas 'Nick' Adamski, died in hospice on Tuesday, May 27, per ABC 7. He had been diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in 2020. Pathieu shared a black-and-white photograph of Adamski on Instagram alongside a heartfelt message to announce his death. It came just days after a post revealing her plans to take time away from social media to focus on caring for him. 'My angel, Nicholas 'Nick' Adamski, has gained his wings. He was surrounded by love and peace,' Pathieu wrote in the caption of her announcement. 'Firefighter. Husband. Advocate. Hero." 'Nick faced stage 4 glioblastoma brain cancer with unmatched courage, grace and an unshakable belief in PMA — Positive Mental Attitude,' she continued. 'He was a man who served others, uplifted everyone he met and never stopped smiling — even through the hardest days." 'Forever in our hearts. I love you for always, sweetheart,' Pathieu concluded. 'Keep that PMA. Love hard. Help others. And never, ever give up, and as Nick would say, 'Peace and veggie grease.' ' The comment section of the post was flooded with messages from people sharing their condolences. Before being diagnosed with brain cancer on Dec. 21, 2020, Adamski was a beloved member of the Milwaukee Fire Department and was awarded the Medal of Valor for saving an infant from a fire, ABC 7 reported. Adamski previously recounted that he was diagnosed after a seizure caused him to collapse just before Christmas in 2020. He was rushed to Lutheran General Hospital, where he was diagnosed with cancer despite having previously had no symptoms. "The only thing I remember is my right leg going up and shaking everything," Adamski said, per ABC 7. "After that, I couldn't tell you anything." He was given slightly over a year to live, even once he began treatment for the 'aggressive' disease that is the most common type of malignant brain tumor in adults. As he continued to defy the odds throughout the years, the former firefighter became an advocate for hope with his signature message of 'PMA: Positive Mental Attitude' amid his treatment for the disease, per the outlet. Pathieu joined her husband in being a speaker at the annual Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute Minds Matter event in 2023, with the aim of fundraising for brain cancer. Photos from the event shared on Facebook and Instagram appeared to show them in good spirits. Following Adamski's death this week, the American Brain Tumor Association referenced Pathieu's Instagram tribute to him alongside a photo of the couple shared on their Facebook page. 'We are deeply saddened by the passing of Nicholas 'Nick' Adamski, beloved husband of ABC7 Chicago's Diane Pathieu,' the group wrote. 'A devoted firefighter, fierce advocate, and GBM warrior, Nick faced grade 4 glioblastoma with extraordinary courage, grace, and his signature PMA—Positive Mental Attitude. 💙 'Through every challenge, Nick never stopped smiling. He served others, inspired hope, and uplifted everyone around him,' the ABTA added. 'His legacy will live on in the hearts of all who knew him—and in the countless lives he touched. 'To Diane and all who loved him, the ABTA community stands with you in love and remembrance. As Nick would say: 'Peace and veggie grease,' ' they said, echoing Pathieu's post.

All you need to know about Saturday's Champions League final between PSG and Inter Milan
Associated Press MUNICH (AP) — European club soccer reaches its crowning moment with the Champions League final in Munich on Saturday. This season's showpiece pits French champion Paris Saint-Germain against Italian runner-up Inter Milan, with the former striving for its first ever European Cup title, while Inter is going for its fourth. Success for PSG would make it the first French champion of Europe since bitter rival Marseille in 1993, and finally reward years of huge investment from its Qatari backers, who bought a majority stake in the club in 2011. Inter faces the prospect of a trophyless season after seeing Napoli pip it to the Italian title. But Inter has shown it's a threat on the European stage with epic wins over Barcelona in the semifinals and Bayern Munich in the quarters. Here's your guide to the final. When is the Champions League final? — Kickoff is at 9 p.m. local time in Germany on Saturday. That's 3 p.m. ET or 1900 GMT. How to watch the final on TV? — In the U.S., on Paramount+. DAZN will show it in Canada. — Other countries are listed here. Players to look out for in the final — Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe have all left PSG but that doesn't mean there aren't players to watch. Georgian winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has starred for the team since joining from Napoli in January. Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue and Ousmane Dembele are chipping in the goals that Mbappé's no longer scoring, and the team has one of the world's best goalkeepers in Gianluigi Donnarumma, formerly of Milan. — Inter counts on Argentina star Lautaro Martinez to lead the team with his captaincy and goals. Which stadium is hosting the final? — The match will take place in Bayern Munich's 75,000 capacity home stadium, known as Allianz Arena for sponsorship reasons since it opened in 2005, though UEFA refers to it as Munich Football Arena during its competitions. Key facts — PSG would become only the second French champion of Europe with a win. The closest it came so far was in 2020 when it lost in the final to Bayern after a restructured tournament because of the coronavirus pandemic. — Inter's success in 2010 ended its long wait since back-to-back wins in 1964 and '65. But it lost on its last appearance in the final, to Manchester City in 2023. This will be its seventh final altogether. It has won three and lost three so far. — This will be the fifth European Cup final to be played in Munich. Each of the previous four produced a first-time winner: Nottingham Forest in 1979, Marseille in 1993, Borussia Dortmund in 1997, and Chelsea in 2012. ___ AP soccer:
