Thomas Wins Tour de France, Johnson Secures Third Win of PGA Tour Season with Canadian Open Victory, Busch Races to First at Pocono and Rossi Scores Another IndyCar Win at Mid-Ohio

Team Sky’s Geraint Thomas became the first Welshman in history to win the Tour de France yesterday. Thomas won with a one minute and 51 second advantage over second place rider Tom Dumoulin of the Netherlands, according to CNN.

"It's unbelievable, it's going to take a while to sink in," Thomas told Eurosport. "Riding around wearing this (the yellow jersey) is the stuff of dreams."
Top-ranked golfer Dustin Johnson won the RBC Canadian Open for the first time yesterday. It marks his third win of the PGA Tour season and 19th of his career with a score of 23-under par. The Toronto Sun quotes Johnson on the victory:

“Winning here definitely means a lot. Signing with RBC this year, and coming up here and winning, especially on a golf course where I’ve had success, it means a lot.”

NASCAR racer Kyle Busch has won his sixth race of the season with a victory at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, PA yesterday. This win means that Busch has tied Tony Stewart for 13th on the career wins list with 49 to his name. The Associated Press quotes Busch on the achievement:

“You keep reaching higher up the ladder and you keep reaching more milestone drivers,” Busch said. “Tony Stewart is one of the all-time best and one of the drivers that I was a fan of growing up. It’s awesome to be able to tie him. There’s many more. We want to keep going.”

Alexander Rossi has won his second IndyCar victory this season at Mid-Ohio. He finished the 90 laps of the race leaving a gap of 12.82 seconds between him and the second place Robert Wickens, according to Autosport.

Roglic takes Stage 19 of Tour de France with Thomas Coming Second, Garrigus Leads First Day of Canadian Open, US Swimming Championship Day 2 Results and Valcke’s 10-Year FIFA Ban Upheld

Slovenian cyclist Primoz Roglic has taken stage 19, the final high mountain stage of the Tour de France. Race frontrunner Geraint Thomas came in second to consolidate his position going into the final two days over the weekend.

American Robert Garrigus lead the way with 9-under 63 at the opening day of the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey Golf Course in Oakville, Ontario. The Canadian Open website explains that the players were plagued by rain, high winds and potential lightning strikes which delayed play and prevented 55 golfers from finishing the first round.

“Could have been 59 there if a couple putts didn’t lip out,” said Garrigus, who had birdie putts lip out on Nos. 10 and 17. “Got lucky on the par 5, on 13, hit it right in the middle of the water, and it hit a rock and bounced over the thing and I made birdie.

According to Swim Swam, Day 2 of the U.S. Swimming Championships saw Katie Ledecky take gold in the Women’s 200 Free, Andrew Seliskar for the Men’s 200 Free, Micah Sumrall for the Women’s 200 Breast, Josh Prenot for the Men’s 200 Breast, Regan Smith and Kathleen Baker tied for the Women’s 200 Back, Ryan Murphy for the Men’s 200 Back, Kelsi Dahlia for the Women’s 50 Fly and Michael Andrew for the Men’s 50 Fly.

The Court of Arbitration of Sport upheld former FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke’s 10-year ban today, according to the Associated Press. Valcke was fired in 2016 after “being implicated in irregular World Cup ticket and broadcast rights sales, plus expense abuses including personal use of private jets.”

“The offenses found to have been committed by Jerome Valcke were cumulatively of a serious degree of gravity,” CAS said in its statement, adding the ban and fine of 100,000 Swiss francs ($100,200) “were wholly proportionate.”

Malibu Boats Introduces New Wakesetter™ 22 LSV and Churchill Downs Announces 200 New Jobs for Derby City Gaming

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGM:MBUU) (NasdaqGS:CHDN)

Malibu Boats (NasdaqGM:MBUU) has introduced the newest model Wakesetter™ 22 LSV.

Churchill Downs (NasdaqGS:CHDN) announced today that Derby City Gaming, its new historical racing machine facility, is hiring up to 200 new employees in advance of the planned grand opening in September.

McGregor Pleads Guilty, Avoids Jail Time, Démare Takes Stage 18 but Thomas Still Leads Tour de France, Ledecky Wins 800m at U.S. Swimming Championships and Triple Crown Winner Justify Retires

UFC star Conor McGregor has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and avoided possible jail time, according to the BBC. McGregor was involved in an altercation at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 5 for which he faced 12 criminal charges including: menacing, assault resulting in injury, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. Following the judgement, McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar said the fighter would be focusing on getting back into fighting.
"Now that this is passed us, we can focus on things that have been on hold for some time," said Mr Attar.
"Conor's been training. He's in shape. He's ready to go. Now it's just about getting back to business and we hope to have some news to announce very soon."

French cyclist Arnaud Démare has won stage 18 at the Tour de France. This marks his second career Tour stage win and the first this year. According to Sky Sports, Geraint Thomas still holds his lead at one minute and 59 seconds.

Katie Ledecky won by 10 seconds in the 800m freestyle at the U.S. Swimming Championships according to NBC Sports. The five-time gold medal winner finished 7.19 seconds slower than her world record of 8:11.98.

“I’m fine with it, didn’t feel super sharp, but it always takes me a little bit of time to get into these meets,” Ledecky said, noting swimming in 80-degree heat. “My best races are when the first 400 and the second 400 are pretty even.”

This year’s Triple Crown winner Justify is retiring from racing according to the Associated Press. Fluid found in his left front ankle has raised concerns about his health if he were to continue racing.

“The timing is bad for another start in 2018, and therefore, we have to retire him,” said Elliott Walden of WinStar Farm, which co-owns Justify. “Like (2015 Triple Crown winner) American Pharoah, we can’t take the risk of running Justify as a 4-year-old. We all wanted him to finish his career in the Breeders’ Cup Classic, but it was not meant to be.”

Quintana takes Grueling Stage 17 at Tour de France, Cavs Sign Love to 4-Year Extension Worth $120 Million and Mets’ Cespedes Off for 8-10 Months for Heel Surgery

Colombian rider Nairo Quintana took stage 17 of the Tour de France today, his first win of this year’s race, according to a report on ESPN. The 65 km stage, ending at Saint-Lary-Soulan, though being the shortest of the Tour so far this century, is very grueling and features three category one climbs. The stage win puts Quintana at number five overall. Still in first place overall is Welsh rider Geraint Thomas, who came in third today.

The Cleveland Cavaliers signed All-Star Kevin Love to a four-year $120 million extension, according to the Associated Press. Love sported a hard hat as he signed the contract in front of dozens of construction workers at the Cavs’ Quicken Loans Arena, which is undergoing a $140 million renovation. Love addressed the uncertainties around his status with the team and expressed gratitude for signing the extension.

“I look back, everything happens for a reason,” Love said. “My best friend from back home said, ‘It always works out.’ This is where I wanted to be. I’ve said that all along. There were some tough times where potentially I would have been traded and my name came up in rumors every few months. But hopefully that ends now.”

New York Mets’ outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will be out of play for at least 8 to 10 months to undergo surgery on both heels, according to a report on Newsday. The two-time All Star needs the surgery to repair calcification around his Achilles tendons. John Ricco, one of the Mets’ three acting general managers, said Cespedes’ condition was contributing to other issues as well.

“The concern on our end was not only the pain he was in, but also the fact that it was contributing to him altering his running style and therefore, leading to some of these other leg issues,” Ricco said. “And you get to the point where that doesn’t make any sense because you’re going to stay in that cycle.”

Take-Two’s 2K Announced Wooooo! Edition of WWE® 2K19 Celebrating Ric Flair and lululemon Appoints New CEO

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:TTWO) (NasdaqGS:LULU)

Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.’s (NasdaqGS:TTWO) 2K has announced the Wooooo! Edition of WWE® 2K19 in honour of 16-time WWE World Champion Ric Flair.
“For all of my fans around the world, it’s exciting and humbling to see my career immortalized through the power of video games,” said Ric Flair. “This is going to be one stylin,’ profilin,’ limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ ‘n’ dealin’ son of a collector’s edition, and you don’t want to miss out. Wooooo!”

lululemon athletica, inc. (NasdaqGS:LULU) has appointed Calvin McDonald as Chief Executive Officer, effective August 20, 2018. Previously, Mcdonald served as President and CEO of Americas for Sephora.
