Tadej Pogacar takes another revenge.
Twenty-fourth success in 2024 for Tadej Pogacar
Tadej Pogacar put the icing on the cake of an extraordinary season by winning Saturday the 2024 edition of the Giro dell’Emilia, one of the longest-running races on the international calendar (the first edition dates back to 1909). For the Slovenian of UAE Team Emirates, who arrived alone at the finish line in his rainbow jersey won in Zurich last September 29, è it was the first success in the Emilia race after two consecutive second places, in 2022 behind Enric Mas and in 2023 behind compatriot Primoz Roglic.
Pogacar thus è took another revenge by routing the competition in the final part of the race that started in Vignola and arrived at the height of the Basilica of San Luca in Bologna, after a 210-kilometer route: the runner-up, Thomas Pidcock of Ineos Grenadiers, è arrived at 1’54”, in the small group that included Davide Piganzoli of Team Polti Kometa (lowest step of the podium for the first of the Italians) and Michael Woods of Israel-Premier Tech.
Nothing to do for another of the most &ugly expected men, Remco Evenepoel: the Belgian tried to sprint at the start of the first of the five climbs to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of St. Luke, but after Pogacar’s decisive response, he decided, d’agreeing with his team, Soudal-Quick Step, to withdraw and save his strength for the Tour of Lombardy.
For Pogacar è success number 24 in the season: a ride that began right in Italy, with the triumph in the Strade Bianche, and continued with successes at, among others, the Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Giro d’Italia, the Tour de France, as well as in the World Championships road race.

Roma, Paulo Dybala not playing: farewell in January?
Renewal with the Giallorossi is triggered only under certain conditions
Black moment in the Giallorossi’s house. In addition to the new coach issue, the club has to deal with Dybala’s stomach ache, struggling with an unhappy moment. Not summoned for the match with Bologna, è remained on the bench against St Gilloise and played just over 20′ against Hellas Verona.
To date he has played only nine league games (several as a substitute) with two goals on the score sheet. Little, very little for the one who should be the team’s ace. The excitement over his no to Al-Qadsiah’s rich offer has è already dissolved. Indeed, there are those who think he should have accepted the 75 million put on the plate by the rich Arab club (three-year contract).
As if that were not enough, in order to trigger the automatic renewal with the Giallorossi club, Dybala must play a certain number of games. Whether this is a viable route to take, in light of the many injuries that are affecting his performance, remains to be seen. If he is not è at top form, the Joya will not è be able to make the difference on the field as he would like.
At this point, we can not è rule out the possibility that he may decide to change air in January. Clearly, much will depend on the new Roma coach. A face-to-face between the two could be a game changer. At the moment, Dybala is not è happy with Roma and vice versa.

Juventus in trouble, Cristiano Giuntoli he needs two defenders
Bad news from Colombia for the HCL central
The injury to Bremer, Juventus’ defensive leader, has caused several problems for Thiago Motta, who now also has to deal with Cabal’s stop. As announced by the Colombian national team, the Juventus defender suffered the same ligament injury as the Brazilian. In short, a long stop is also looming for Cabal.
At this point, Thiago Motta finds himself with a defensive department at its lowest. Few resources and there’è always to consider the decidedly negative moment Danilo is going through. The Brazilian looked like he might even pack his bags in January (at this point everything could change, given the injury suffered by Cabal).
What is è certain è that Giuntoli, in January, will be forced to intervene heavily in the market. If before one central might have been enough, now the feeling è that two are needed, so as to give Thiago Motta more solutions at the defensive level. Many names are in play, all quite interesting but not easy to dress in bianconero.
There are two names circulating insistently. The first è that of Skriniar who, at PSG, is struggling to find space. The former Inter central seems perfect but also has a rather high salary. There is also the name of Hancko of Feyenoord, another element of great quality. Not easy to snatch him from Feyenoord (è an immovable starter at the Dutch club).

NBA, Steph Curry takes down former Klay Thompson’s Mavs
Chilling video tribute for former Warriors star
Before the match, former Thompson è was greeted by his former audience with a chilling video tribute. Then, space for the game with Golden State è winning over Dallas 120-117. Thompson signed a 22-point night but even better did Curry, decisive in his Warriors’ victory with an impressive 37 final points (5/12 from three).
At the end of an overtime, Detroit è managed to get the better of Miami (123-121). Serious mistake of the Heat’s bench that, in overtime, called timeout but without having any (resulting in a technical foul to the bench). Good performance by Fontecchio. Started from the bench, the Azure played 23’solid, scoring 10 points.
Fall, surprisingly, the Celtics, beaten by the Hawks (without Young). Down by 15 points, Atlanta managed to get back into the score and, thanks to a tap-in by Okongwu, they took home the victory (117-116). Not enough, in the Boston household, was the excellent performance of White, who finished with an impressive 31 points. Pure Brown shines (37 points) but the victory goes to Atlanta.
Despite Embiid’s season debut (13 points), Philadelphia falls again, this time beaten by New York (111-99). Also of note were Milwaukee’s win over Toronto (99-85) and Orlando’s success against Charlotte (114-89). Portland beats Minnesota (122-108) while Utah falls in the presence of Phoenix (120-112).
