INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 began with the usual pageantry Sunday before a crowd of more than 300,000 people inside Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and with Graham Rahal left on the starting grid when his car wouldn’t fire up after Roger Penske’s command to start the engines.IndyCar points leader Alex Palou, the series champion two years ago, led the race to green from the powerful quartet of Chip Ganassi Racing. Palou was the betting favorite at 4-1 odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, ahead of Pato O’Ward, the Mexican star for the equally stout Arrow McLaren, and Ganassi teammate Scott Dixon, who is still searching for a second Indy 500 win.Palou and Dixon have two more teammates capable of winning in defending champion Marcus Ericsson and two-time winner Takuma Sato, while O’Ward has McLaren teammates Felix Rosenqvist and former winners Alexander Rossi and Tony Kanaan.Then there was Rahal, who failed to qualify his own car for Ra...

ROME (AP) — Primoz Roglic expanded his Grand Tour portfolio by winning the Giro d’Italia on Sunday to add to his three Spanish Vuelta titles.The former ski jumper became the first Slovenian rider to win the Giro and he did it in dramatic fashion, claiming the lead in the penultimate stage — taking the pink jersey from Geraint Thomas in Saturday’s mountain time trial.It was the direct opposite of what happened in the 2020 Tour de France, when fellow Slovenian Tadej Pogacar took the lead from Roglic in another penultimate-day mountain time trial.Riding a pink bike and wearing a pink helmet and pink socks, Roglic took it easy during the mostly ceremonious final stage, a 135-kilometer (84-mile) leg through the cobblestoned streets of Rome that concluded next to the Roman Forum.Mark Cavendish, who recently announced that he will retire at the end of this season, won the 21st and final stage in a sprint finish.Roglic, who rides for the Jumbo-Visma team, finished 14 seconds ahead of Thomas...

Erdoğan declares victory in Turkish election

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:15:32 GMT

Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is set for another five years as Turkey’s president after prevailing in divisive elections that at one point seemed to threaten his hold on power.The 69-year-old, who has dominated his country’s politics for two decades, was on track to win the runoff vote by 52 percent to 48 percent, with more than 98 percent of ballot boxes counted, beating opposition candidate Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu, according to the country’s two main news agencies. In the first round of voting on May 14, the president also came out on top, defying the polls, but fell short of an outright majority, taking the election to a runoff. Turkey’s Supreme Election Council — the country’s highest electoral authority — said that, with 75 percent of the votes counted, Erdoğan was leading with 53 percent while Kılıçdaroğlu had received 47 percent. Erdoğan declared victory in front of his residence in Istanbul, singing his campaign song before his speech. “I thank our nation, which g...

A lack of sight couldn’t stop an enthusiastic group from exploring the Charles by sailboat.The SailBlind program, run by the Newton-based Carroll Center for the Blind, launched sailboats onto the Charles River Saturday morning crewed by blind participants.“Whether you are just looking to go for a boat ride, looking to receive sailing instruction and hands on experience, or looking to refine your prior sailing skills and knowledge, we offer all of these,” the program’s website states.The boats launch every Saturday morning through October 28, though the Carroll Center states that there is reduced staff during May, September and October, which means there will be a cap on the number of sailors who can partipate, which is awarded on a first-come, first-served system.The program, which began in 1979 when it became the first structured program in the U.S. for blind sailors, is extending the opportunity from now through the fall for blind adults to learn the sort o...

US ‘won’t tolerate’ China’s Micron chips ban, Raimondo says

Published Fri, 22 Nov 2024 03:15:32 GMT

WASHINGTON — Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said the U.S. “won’t tolerate” the recent decision by Chinese authorities to ban chips by Micron Technology Inc. in some critical sectors, using her sharpest language yet to describe Washington’s reaction.“We see it as, plain and simple, economic coercion,” she said, using a phrase both sides have lobbed at each other amid recent tensions. “We won’t tolerate it, nor do we think it will be successful.”The latest technology tensions between the two global powers kicked off last Sunday, when the Cyberspace Administration of China warned operators of key infrastructure against buying Idaho-based Micron’s chips, saying it found “relatively serious” risks after concluding a review it announced in March. That followed a sweeping ban by the U.S. in October on exports to China of high-end chips and the technology to make them.Raimondo’s comments Saturday come after the two sides had a chance this week to air their grievances in person and pledged...

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey President Recep Tayyip Erdogan won reelection Sunday, according to unofficial results, in a victory that extends his increasingly authoritarian rule into a third decade in a country reeling from high inflation and the aftermath of an earthquake that leveled entire cities.With a third term, Erdogan will have an even stronger hand domestically and internationally, and the election results will have implications far beyond Ankara.
