Tour de France 2019: Egan Bernal set to win from Geraint Thomas

Tour de France 2019: Egan Bernal set to win from Geraint Thomas




Thomas congratulated Ineos team-mate Bernal as they crossed the finish line together at the end of stage 20
Egan Bernal is poised to become the first Colombian to win the Tour de France after finishing Saturday's penultimate stage in the yellow jersey.
Race tradition dictates that the race leader is not challenged on Sunday's final stage to Paris.
Bernal, 22, will become the youngest Tour winner for 110 years, with Ineos team-mate Geraint Thomas in second.
Dutchman Steven Kruijswijk moved up to third as Julian Alaphilippe faded on an Alpine stage won by as Vincenzo Nibali.
Italian Nibali, winner of the Tour de France in 2014, was in the day's break and attacked again on the climb to the finish at Val Thorens, winning by 10 seconds from Spain's Alejandro Valverde.
Bernal and Thomas, who won last year's Tour, crossed the line arm-in-arm, with huge grins on their faces. They came into the race as joint leaders for Ineos and, providing they both cross the finish line in Paris on Sunday, will end it first and second in the general classification.
Colombian Bernal will also collect the white jersey as the best young rider in the race.
The green points jersey classification will be won by Slovakian Peter Sagan, who pulled a wheelie as he rode over the finish line several minutes after the stage winner, while the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey will go to Frenchman Romain Bardet

US and Russia to hold talks toward the beginning of January, says Putin

US and Russia to hold talks toward the beginning of January, says Putin. Polina Ivanova and Max Seddon in Moscow Vladimir Putin said the US and Russia will hold dealings about the Kremlin's complaints against Nato and western apprehensions Moscow will attack Ukraine in Geneva toward the beginning of January. President Putin said Russia had seen a "positive response" from the US in the wake of distributing two arrangements of draft proposition last week that would basically revamp the post-cold conflict security request in Europe by making Nato vow not to concede any future individuals from the previous Soviet Union, primarily Ukraine. "The next move's up to them. They need to let us know something accordingly," Putin said at his yearly news meeting in Moscow. He added that he trusted the pressure could be settled carefully.

Lucrative Pop Phenomenon

New post Lucrative Pop Phenomenon Ogden Payne  ,     CONTRIBUTOR I write for, and about, the up-and-coming musician.     SACRAMENTO, CA - OCTOBER 11: The Weeknd performs during his 'Starboy World Tour' at Golden 1 Center on October 11, 2017 in Sacramento, California. (Photo by Tim Mosenfelder/Getty Images) The Weeknd silently graced streaming sites with his latest album  My Dear Melancholy. Outside of music, he appears to be a man of few words whose identity seems to be as somber his latest album title. His career, however, is much more colorful. His accolades include a collection of Grammy Awards and a spot on the cover of FORBES, amounting to the perfect balance between art and business. But peeling back the layers to understand how exactly the Toronto native became such a worldwide phenomenon is a thought as alluring as the singer’s persona. He Embraced Humble Beginnings “Can’t nobody stop us, used to be ...

Drinking Water Crisis in Rural Towns

Drinking water is essential for life, but many rural towns in the U.S. are struggling to provide safe and reliable water to their residents. For decades, these towns have neglected their drinking water systems, resulting in aging infrastructure, water quality violations, and financial challenges. In this blog post, we will explore some of the causes and consequences of this crisis, and what can be done to address it. Causes of the Crisis One of the main causes of the crisis is the shrinking population of many rural towns. As people move to urban areas or other states, the tax base and the customer base of the water systems decline. This means less revenue to cover the costs of operation, maintenance, and improvement of the water systems. According to a report by the American Bar Association³, in 2015, 9 percent of all water systems had a documented violation of water quality standards, exposing 21 million people to unhealthy drinking water. These violations were more likely to occur in...
