Alberto Giove Cup in Monza

The countdown for the 2023 edition continues for the Coppa Alberto Giove. This historic youth basketball competition reserved for the Under-15 category will be held between Nei and Forti e Liberi, the site of the finals, but also in Villasanta.

The organization, in particular Antongiulio (brother to the unfortunate Alberto, to whom the event has been dedicated) and Lorenzo Biassoni have managed to put on a great event which will be staged between Friday 16th to Sunday 18th with 16 teams.

The list includes the Olimpia Milano (currently chasing its 10th title) and Virtus Bologna (the newly graduated Italian champions). The presence of foreign teams from all over Europe, including Bosnia, Lithuania, Estonia and Spain, as well as Montenegro, was a great boost.

This is the message to fans from Dan and Ryan Friedkin posted by Roma on its website. “Our family&#8217s commitment to Roma has never been stronger. It is a commitment to’excellence, to’organization and a clear identity– it reads. But most of all, it is a commitment to the future of this club, a future that includes a new stadium: a home worthy of our fans, which we promise to make”.

“We are truly honored to be the custodians of’AS Roma. It is an honor that binds us, a total commitment and faithful dedication to the preservation of all that makes this club and this city the best in the world. Together, as a team, we will continue to grow, to fight, to dream and to win”.

Talking about Gasperini, however, they emphasize that he is “the right coach for this moment and the leader for what is to come”. “Flanked by the invaluable advice of Claudio Ranieri– they add -, who will remain with us as a trusted manager and senior advisor to the ownership, we are confident that he will lead Roma to an exciting and winning future”.

The Friedkins announced that July 22, the date of the club’s founding, will be “a day of celebration” because it will lead to the centenary year, stressing that the ownership is “progressively re-appropriating the historic ASR coat of arms”.

Another very complicated Saturday for Pecco Bagnaia. After finishing fourth in qualifying at the Aragon Grand Prix, the Ducati centaur finished only 12th in the Sprint Race, recording yet another zero in the standings.

“I really struggled – admitted the three-time world champion to Sky Sports microphones after Saturday’s race -. In qualifying I did my best and still took 6 tenths. I knew it would be hard, but I didn”;t think so much.

“The speech is always the same: I can&#8217t brake hard and enter the corners, I have so many steering locks. It limits me a lot not to have confidence in the front, I have based my career on this and I can”t push as I would like to, continued the Piedmontese driver.

“I am not happy, I know something is not working, but we are trying everything. I will continue to be positive and sooner or later we will find something that can help me” concluded Bagnaia.
