In a crash-marred finish that saw several top-tier riders brought down in multiple wet roundabouts inside the last 5km, Canadian national champ Alison Jackson stayed upright and in position to win a reduced sprint. Her American teammate Kristen Faulkner did an impressively long lead-out, allowing Jackson to out-sprint Blanca Vas (SD Worx-Protime) and Karlijn Swinkels (UAE Team ADQ). Vas will at least have the consolation of taking the GC leader's jersey for tomorrow, thanks to bonus seconds at the finish and sprint points earlier in the stage.
One of Jackson's own teammates was one of the riders that went down, as were Anna Henderson (Visma Lease-a-Bike), Liane Lippert (Movistar), Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek), and many others. Hopefully there weren't severe injuries, and the the 5km rule should bring them back to the same finishing time.
Pubblicato in occasione della grande mostra a CAMERA – Centro Italiano per la Fotografia, il volume ripercorre la storia e la leggenda dei “paparazzi”, fenomeno fotografico e di costume nato negli anni in cui Roma era diventata “Hollywood sul Tevere”. Attraverso oltre 190 immagini, si susseguono le figure dei protagonisti di quella stagione, soprattutto i divi e le divine del cinema, e i racconti fotografici delle notti brave di Via Veneto tra gli anni cinquanta e sessanta. Le fotografie di Tazio Secchiaroli, Marcello Geppetti, Elio Sorci, Ron Galella e di tanti altri protagonisti di quelle vicende compongono – insieme alle pagine delle riviste in cui furono pubblicate – un affresco della comunicazione popolare del tempo. Terminata la stagione eroica dei paparazzi, quel linguaggio diviene un codice, utilizzato in diversi contesti artistici e commerciali, come dimostrano le immagini di protagonisti della scena fotografica odierna come Alison Jackson, Armin Linke e Ellen von Unwerth, che chiudono il volume.

Stage 7 of La Vuelta Feminina was almost tailor-made for Marianne Vos (Visma Lease-a-Bike), an uphill drag after a long day in the cross-winds. What can we say about the greatest of all time, she knows how to get there safely and has the snap to finish. And her team controlled the breakaways, including a decently strong one spurred by Olympic champ Anna Kiesenhofer (Roland).
Vos was in good position heading into the final left-hander, right behind Elisa Longo Borghini (Lidl-Trek). The group was headed by Kristen Faulkner (EF Education-Cannondale), who had a nice lead-out from teammate Alison Jackson and then hammered the climb. Faulkner would take second on the stage, despite doing a lot of work on the front. Her climbing ability reminds us that she took second in the Tour de Suisse in 2022. It's nice to see such a new team like EF so active in this Vuelta.
Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime) started out of position (what is going on with that team?) but closed to fourth on the stage, right behind ELB, so the GC is unchanged going into the final mountaintop stage.
