Second world time trial title for Chloe Dygert
Second world time trial title for Chloe Dygert
Chloe Dygert of the United States became world time trial champion in the elite category at the World Cycling Championships in Scotland.
Already a rainbow winner in 2019, Dygert succeeds Dutchwoman Ellen van Dijk, a two-time defending champion but absent this year because she is pregnant. The 26-year-old native of Brownsburg, Indiana, on the 36.2-kilometer course was just 6 seconds ahead of Australian Grace Brown and 1’13” ahead of Austrian Christina Schweinberger.
Switzerland’s Marlen Reusser, heralded as the leading candidate for gold after her second-place finishes in 2020 and 2021 and her third last year, gave up after about 20 kilometers following a crash in the mixed relay where Switzerland took gold. Reusser sat in tears in a ditch consoled by a member of her team.
For Dygert, it is a day of rebirth after the very serious injury she suffered to her left leg from a fall in the 2020 world road race. Far behind were the Italian women riders: twenty-fourth at 3’41” Alessia Vigilia, thirty-second at 4’17” Vittoria Guazzini.

Lecce and Empoli split the mail
Lecce and Empoli split the mail
.
At the Via Del Mare Stadium, the’advance of the twelfth day of Serie A between Lecce and Empoli ends 1-1.
The Tuscans take the lead on 33’: counterattack by Cacace on the left and assist for ex-Milanist Pellegri who controls with his knee and with his right sends the ball into the corner.
The Salentini’s equalizer came at 77’: Pierotti retrieved the ball in midfield, then the action developed on the left with Dorgu and Gallo, cross of the latter just for Pierotti who hit a winning header.
A point that serves little purpose to Lecce, which remains in the danger zone, little step forward of Empoli led by D’Aversa against his former team.

The second quarter è quite balanced but still with Luca Banchi’s team always ahead by a margin of +1 to +9 and we go to the long interval on 45-39.
Same trend as the second quarter in the third, we get to the last ten minutes on 60-55 for Virtus that manages to keep the Israelis at arm’s length and the exclamation point is put by Alessandro Pajola with a triple with 36 seconds left.
The Black Vs are on their second win out of eight games in the Euroleague, for them 16 points by Tornike Shengelia, 14 by Ante Zizic. For Maccabi, Levi Randolph’s 21 points were useless.
