A cyclist has been killed in a tragic crash during the fourth stage of the Tour Of Austria.
Norwegian cyclist Andre Drege, 25, died Saturday during the fourth stage of this year’s race. According to the BBC, Drege died during the five-day race’s fourth stage. This stage runs from St. Johann Alpendorf to Kals and features a section where riders have to descend the Grossglockner — Austria’s largest mountain — and it was there that Drege sustained fatal injuries.

Featuring two career-changing ladder matches, Money in the Bank is considered to be on the same prestige level as SummerSlam, Survivor Series, Royal Rumble and WrestleMania.

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda joined a fantastic foursome by getting 12 hits in 12 straight at-bats.

It’s the beginning of a new era for Alabama football. For the first time since 2006, Nick Saban won’t be calling the shots from the sideline for the Crimson Tide. And it’ll be up to former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer to fill some very big shoes.
Saban was known for his no-nonsense coaching style. For 17 seasons, the Tide played “Joyless Murderball.” They’d dominate their opponents and move onto the next without fuss.

You would think that Iga Swiatek – the women’s No. 1 tennis player in the world – would have no problem advancing past the third round of Wimbledon.
After all, she had won 21 consecutive matches, and is fresh off her fourth French Open win in June. Surely, the Polish superstar could handle the No. 35-ranked Yulia Putintseva, right?
Wrong.
Swiatek lost to her opponent from Kazakhstan in three sets, 6-3, 1-6, 2-6. Wimbledon continues to be a nightmare of a destination for her, as she has never reached beyond the quarterfinals of this tournament in her career.

Minnesota Twins infielder Jose Miranda had a brush with Major League Baseball history on Saturday afternoon against the Houston Astros. 
Miranda, who’s having an outstanding season for the Twins, has been on a nearly unbelievable run of form over his past few games. On the July 4th game against the Detroit Tigers, Miranda went 5 for 5 with three doubles. He followed that with another 4 for 4 performance with a double in Friday night’s game. 
And then he added two more hits in his first two official at bats in Saturday’s game.

Spieth made the most of Moving Day at the John Deere Classic as he vaulted into contention for a potential third title.
Jordan Spieth came out blazing hot at the John Deere Classic on Saturday with his lowest round of the season. He carded an 8-under 63 to sit at 14-under total. Spieth jumped 33 spots on Moving Day, making the most of his early tee time.
The former Texas Longhorn was 6-under through eight holes as he went out in 29 strokes. He added two more birdies on the 10th and 12th before his only hiccup of the day.

It was a nice Saturday in the Bronx for the New York Yankees, who spent the afternoon absolutely throttling their hated rivals, the Boston Red Sox, 14-4.
However, a big chunk of the offense came from a somewhat unexpected place in rookie Ben Rice.
The 35-year-old out of Dartmouth hasn’t even played 20 games in the Majors yet having spent most of the season with Double-A Somerset Patriots and the Triple-A Scranton/WIles-Barre RailRiders.

While here in the United States, we spent Thursday celebrating the time we schooled the British during the Revolutionary War, the Brits got revenge of sorts by completely flying on track Saturday at Silverstone during qualifying for Formula 1‘s British Grand Prix.
The guy on pole? Mercdes’ George Russell. British.
In P2? Fellow Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. British.
P3? McLaren’s Lando Norris. *Checks notes* Yup, also British.

Let’s dive into the best players still available on the NBA free agent market right now.
Almost all of the big names in NBA free agency are off the board, but DeMar DeRozan still lingers. The Chicago Bulls star is the best player left on the open market on the brink of his 35th birthday, and there doesn’t seem to be an obvious fit for him out there. With the Bulls seemingly ready to commit to a rebuild, DeRozan is out there for the taking as a veteran wing who can still perform at a near All-Star level.
