The words of Loris Capirossi

Loris Capirossi spoke about the last MotoGp weekend: “I think it will be a beautiful finale. We have to be honest: è very difficult for Pecco, it must happen that Jorge makes some mistakes, becauseé 24 points gap is a lot. Forò races are always races, anything canò really happen».

“Arithmetically it is not è over. Pecco in Sepang showed that he still believes. And he does well. I think we need to wait until the checkered flag of the real race, becauseé even the Sprint, unless Bagnaia falls, will not decide» nothing».

“Can the challenge between Martin and Bagnaiaò be compared to that between Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, considering they had the same bike? Absolutely sì. They are showing that they have reached a very high level, their challenge is becoming epic. Martin knows he has an almost unique chance, so I think he will be wait-and-see. Pecco, on the other hand, has to bring home the maximum, although it may not be enough”.

“What does Bagnaia have to do, besides having to win races? Have c… In the sense that something has to happen to Jorge. What about Martin? Nothing. he has to stay calm”.

David Luiz bad from the penalty spot

The third match between Flamengo and Atlético Mineiro in the last ten days è ended in a goalless draw at the Maracanã. A little more than 72 hours after the intense Copa do Brasil final, which saw the title go to the Rio team, the formations found themselves back on the field Wednesday, albeit without some representative elements.

In the first half, Flamengo è failed to take the lead only because of opposing goalkeeper Everson. The’Atl’tico’s extreme defender è was also the protagonist in the highlight of the first 45 minutes, when he parried a penalty kicked by David Luiz: slow and predictable the defender’s execution.

In the second half, good chances on both sides. Matheus Gonçalves, for Flamengo, hit the post of the goal defended by Everson. On the other side, Scarpa and Paulinho orchestrated the best attacks by Atl’tico.

In the final minutes, intensity and running gave way to ball possession and long throws into the box. Neither team è managed to unlock the result, which è remained unchanged: zero to zero.

Zverev plays mysterious

È it was another fine performance by Alexander Zverev against Casper Ruud, although the German “cannot recall ever having seen the Norwegian serve so well against him” as he told in amazement at the press conference. Strangely enough, there’è hasn’t been any singles match ended in the third set yet (only one in doubles), but Sascha has an explanation: ““doesn’t mean that if you face the 8 best in the world the matches must always be all drawn out, sometimes one can’&gruve; dominate much more than the other’

.

One of the curiosities of these Turin days è that Zverev, in these his first two matches, è always stayed to practice until late. “It’s not a matter of today or tomorrow, but I’m already preparing for next season. I want to improve further to be able to compete with Sinner and Alcaraz, who are the two benchmarks for now. They are the ones who win Slams and I want to join the group”. At the end of the conference, then, the German revealed that he already knows the future of the ATP Finals: “but whether they will stay in Turin or not I won’t tell you. I know what will happenà from 2026 onward, but I will not be your source” – he concluded amid laughter.
