Lachlan Turner wins Thunder Valley Women's Pro Motocross, extends points lead

Lachlan Turner wins Thunder Valley Women's Pro Motocross, extends points lead

Yahoo2 days ago

Lachlan Turner took the lead from holeshot winner Charli Cannon on Lap 2 of the third round of the Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) season and held the advantage until the checkers waved over Thunder Valley Motocross Park in Lakewood, Colorado. With her second win of the season, Turner extended her championship lead to 13 points.
"I love the rough tracks," Turner told Peacock's Jason Thomas after the race. "The rougher, the better. But they did smooth out the track a lot. It was fun battling with Charli. It was amazing."

In one of the most competitive WMX races of the season, Cannon's early pace and Turner's charge separated the two riders from the field. Cannon beat Kyleigh Stalling into the first turn with Turner and Mikayla Nielsen in tow before two separate battles for the podium developed.
As they pushed one another to faster speeds, Cannon and Turner amassed a significant lead over the Stalling versus Nielsen battle. For the first five laps, Cannon matched Turner's pace, but after being slowed in the heavy ruts that developed with a full day's activity, Cannon lost eight seconds over the next two laps.
"That was a tough one," Cannon told Will Christien. "Not riding during the week (due to finger surgery five days before the season opener), really shows. I kind of died a bit. The first few laps were good, a couple of good battles with LaLa, but my hand started falling off the handlebars in the rough bumps. That made it tricky, but considering I have a broken finger and my lack of bike time, I'm happy with second."

This battle pitted last year's American Women's Pro Motocross (WMX) champion against Australia's women's champion.
Fireworks developed on the final lap when Stallings attempted to take the final podium position from Round 1 winner Nielsen. Stallings dove to the inside and made contact with Nielsen on the steepest uphill section of the track. Both riders fell, and given the severity of the incline, it took them a minute to get their bikes upright.
Riding with injuries from last week's round in Hangtown, a surprised Jordan Jarvis passed the two downed riders, noting that Nielsen was remounting her Honda as she blasted between the two bikes. That was all the encouragement Jarvis needed to beat Nielsen to the line by two seconds.

Incredibly, the rider who began the weekend with a cast on her left hand, Jarvis, secured the final podium position.
"I had some bad luck last week, getting landed on," Jarvis said. "I'm not feeling great right now, by any means, but I was able to stay just close enough to be able to capitalize on their mistake. I'm not entirely sure what happened. Not the way I wanted to podium, but I'll take it."
Nielsen finished fourth with Jamie Astudillo rounding out the top five.
Stallings finished just outside that mark in sixth.

Telemundo Kicks Off FIFA World Cup 2026 Countdown With Expanded Coverage Plans

Telemundo is launching its "El Mundial Es Nuestro" (The World Cup is Ours) marketing campaign and ... More additional original programming as part of its countdown to one of the world's largest sporting events. Telemundo has kicked off its one-year countdown to the FIFA World Cup 2026, announcing its extensive coverage plans for the tournament.​ The network is gearing up for the event, which will be held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico from June 11-July 19, 2026, by unveiling its coverage plans, a new marketing campaign, and the first-ever​ Día Nacional del Fútbol​ (National Day of Fútbol​) in the U.S.​, to be observed yearly on June 11​, honoring the sport and its connection to Latino culture. 'For us at Telemundo, today is about more than a countdown to FIFA World Cup 2026 - we're not just covering the tournament, we're preparing to host history, and the road we're paving to 2026 will prove it,' sa​ys Telemundo​'s EVP of Sports, Joaqu​ín Duro. How do they plan to do that? Telemundo ​says it will broadcast all 104 matches live, with 92 on Telemundo and 12 on Universo. Every match will also stream live on Peacock and the Telemundo App. The network will ​also have an on-site presence at all 104 matches, with coverage originating from studios in Mexico City, Miami, and New York, as well as broadcast locations across all 16 host cities. "For the first time in more than 30 years, the World Cup will return to the United States, and as the exclusive Spanish-language media partner, we are not just hosting this tournament, we are hosting history," sa​ys Luis Fernández, Chairman of NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.​ "We have an incredible year ahead, and it will be a privilege to bring this unprecedented event to millions of passionate fans across the country​.' The U.S. previously hosted the World Cup in 1994. At that time, Univision held the U.S. Spanish-language broadcast rights. Telemundo acquired those rights in 2011 and has retained them​ since, scoring great ratings returns. ​Telemundo has also secured Spanish-language rights to Concacaf World Cup Qualifiers, further expanding its soccer programming and its Rumbo al Mundial franchise. This builds upon the​ network's existing portfolio, which includes exclusive rights to Argentina and Brazil's home 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and Team USA. Coverage of the Concacaf qualifiers will air in September, October and November 2025​, with the live presentation of the FIFA World Cup 26 Draw in December 2025. ​To promote all of its coverage efforts, the network ​is launch​ing its "El Mundial Es Nuestro" (The World Cup is Ours) marketing campaign and ​additional original programming,​ produced by its local television stations.
