Cycling-German Denz solos to Giro stage 18 win
Cycling - Giro d'Italia - Stage 18 - Morbegno to Cesano Maderno - Italy - May 29, 2025 Red Bull - BORA - Hansgrohe's Nico Denz celebrates as he crosses the finish line to win stage 18 REUTERS/Jennifer Lorenzini (Reuters) - Nico Denz won stage 18 of the Giro d'Italia on Thursday as the German rider rode solo to victory in the final stages of the 144 km ride from Morbegno to Cesano Maderno while overall leader Isaac del Toro retained his pink jersey. In the shortest racing stage of this year's Giro, Denz was part of a breakaway group of 11 riders and the Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe rider attacked with 11km to go on the final flat section of the stage. The 31-year-old held a 32-second lead with five kilometres left and by the time he crossed the finish line with his arms outstretched, he had finished a minute ahead of the chasing pack for the third Giro stage win of his career. Victory allowed the team to celebrate a first stage win at this year's Giro after they had seen pre-race favourite Primoz Roglic abandon the race on Tuesday following a crash in treacherous conditions in stage 16. Team Polti's Mirco Maestri finished second after beating Edward Planckaert of Alpecin-Deceuninck in the sprint. (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru, editing by Ed Osmond)

Race favourite Roglic abandons Giro d'Italia
FILE PHOTO: Cycling - Giro d'Italia - Stage 10 - Lucca to Pisa - Italy - May 20, 2025 Red Bull - BORA - Hansgrohe's Primoz Roglic during the time trial REUTERS/Jennifer Lorenzini/File Photo Slovenian Primoz Roglic has abandoned the Giro d'Italia after suffering another crash in treacherous conditions during a rain-hit stage 16 on Tuesday. The 2023 winner was caught in a crash on a downhill section alongside Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz. "The Ecuadorian made it back to the peloton, but the Slovenian has left la Corsa Rosa. Speedy recovery, Roglic," the Giro d'Italia posted on social media platform X. Roglic's title bid had suffered a major blow after a crash on Saturday, which was his third in a week. Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe's sports director Christian Pomer had said Roglic could be withdrawn from the Giro d'Italia, having struggled to recover from injuries sustained in multiple crashes. The absence of reigning champion Tadej Pogacar and Dane Jonas Vingegaard meant Roglic was favourite for the title and to become the oldest winner of the Giro. Italian Alessio Martinelli of VF Group–Bardiani–CSF–Faizane also crashed after sliding off the road at a corner. "Martinelli, the victim of a fall, was transported to hospital. He is currently conscious and his condition is stable. Further updates on his condition will be announced later today," his team posted on social media platform X. Stage 16 is a 203km-ride from Piazzola sul Brenta to San Valentino. REUTERS Join ST's Telegram channel and get the latest breaking news delivered to you.

Jevon McSkimming – Privacy And Democracy Vs Journalists
Opinion – Asia Pacific AML 'I dont think journalists have yet learnt that their power of the pen or words they publish can perpetually harm a persons livelihood, their familys livelihood and in the case of Mr McSkimming, forever destroy his reputation and career,' says … Opinion: Kerry Grass, Asia Pacific AML Is Former NZ Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming a victim of a malicious and orchestrated rumour? Was the rumour designed to derail his candidacy from New Zealand's next Police Commissioner and secure the role to Richard Chambers? Since the time the news broke that NZ's next Police Commissioner was shortlisted to two candidates, I have been following that media trail. It was therefore an interesting article to read, shortly after, that one of the candidates had been stood down from employment duties. The media article reported that there was a pending investigation and gave some detail about the allegation. What was then unfortunate to read but fairly common in New Zealand's media, was a small number of journalists who continued reporting details of the allegation. Such conduct by journalists I find very frustrating and it would seem they have ignored that Mr McSkimming has minimum rights afforded to him under New Zealand's laws. These laws include the Bill of Rights Act, the Privacy Act and the Employment Relations Act. Section 27 of the Bill of Rights Act (BORA), afford Mr McSkimming to the Right to Natural Justice. It sets out – (1) Every person has the right to the observance of the principles of natural justice by any tribunal or other public authority which has the power to make a determination in respect of that person's rights, obligations, or interests protected or recognised by law. (2) Every person whose rights, obligations, or interests protected or recognised by law have been affected by a determination of any tribunal or other public authority has the right to apply, in accordance with law, for judicial review of that determination. (3) Every person has the right to bring civil proceedings against, and to defend civil proceedings brought by, the Crown, and to have those proceedings heard, according to law, in the same way as civil proceedings between individuals. To then read that journalists and the Minister of Police continued to publicly share their personal views and report details of the allegation – is beyond belief. I don't think journalists have yet learnt that their power of the pen or words they publish can perpetually harm a person's livelihood, their family's livelihood and in the case of Mr McSkimming, forever destroy his reputation and career. This impact still eventuates if he is found innocent of the allegations that journalists and Minister Mitchell are reporting. There is also the possibility the allegations were designed to derail Mr McSkimming's role as the next Police Commissioner. If so, the orchestration and malicious leaking were successful in the objective.
