from the yellow jersey frank schleck attacked and pulled away from them to finish but contador had little response when the others around him up the pace i could tell evans even basso on the other schleck brother andy finished ahead of the saxo bank right it was good enough to stay in the yellow jersey that it was a great team the french guy the frenchman on bastille day well he's won many of them forty nine seconds ahead of frank schleck and will be looking to hold the jersey for another day as the race continues in the pyrenees in thirty of these cattle evans who himself is a couple of minutes ahead of alberto contador than that in step three. time football france international and world cup winner patrick vieira has announced his retirement as a player he made over four hundred appearances at club level the likes of austin eventis into milan and finally managed to city the thirty five year old saying he will now take up a development role at city with the help of club operations manager brian martin. the full book are given to important. to know before of the job so i'm going to be

the quarter finals of the miss a day's torment in stuttgart a spaniard one colace for their own no doubt former champion and third seed mikhail youzhny in the second round the russian looked on course for a quarter final spot when he took the opening set on a tie break eight six but rare had other ideas taking the next two sets by a sixteen scoreline to progress. another unlikely when i was wildcard lucas could board he was up against eighth seed garcia lopez he won the first set six four but both battled back into the second set by the same score line to send the match to a decider one that six three to reach the last eight. than cedric marcel's who comes from the guard was another wildcard and only turned pro last year but that hardly mattered against the tally in fabio fognini the german had already pulled off a major upset in the first round when he knocked down. and he passed this round in

sectioning is a very technical very tight in the first half of the circuit and something you've got to get your lines right got to make sure the box set up world to turn in long corners with the throttle open and only the last part of the track that is really getting fast and flowing so it's a difficult circuit it's not easy finally after dealing with bitter cold and dodging killer whales to kite surface have entered the guinness book of records is the first people ever to surf from russia to alaska across the bering strait which a bump or fleet has they're still. safely back on dry land and after almost three years of planning constantine in new guinea finally achieve their dream of kite surfing across one of the most inhospitable stretches of the planet the bering straits. but you are back in moscow to tell the press about their adventures of a soon hope to enter the guinness book of records as the first kite surfaces to

complete this amazing feat of ice they really wanted to get in the record books and thankfully we managed to cross the bering strait it was also a personal goal for me to achieve such a feat really is something special as the new us constantine in new guinea started back west from the eastern most tip of russia responsibly populated region of georgia and they would cover a distance of ninety six kilometers to alaska and the united states of america. the pair had been planning their route for months trying to study the various wind patterns and currents that they would encounter along their routes however when they finally got on the way they were hit by a major problem as they would have to cross the straits without to support their soul as the waters were too choppy the boat to be able to set sail very involved in the form of guinea had a satellite phone with he with the number of the local coast guard this is the only thing we had to go or to be honest i get goose bumps thinking about what we deed

and i wouldn't recommend anyone to cross the straits without a support boat we had to go and thankfully we managed to achieve it. but joe would encounter many unexpected encounters along their proposed ninety six kilometer journey of water temperature but just one degree above freezing but that was to prove the least of their worries which was that if they just got out we knew there were killer whales in the sea we were constantly on the lookout for them there were other whales as well and i actually had an interesting counter with one i was surfing alone and about seven meters in front of me a sore a whale i thought about trying to jump over it but there was not enough time in the endorse straight over him i hope he didn't get hurt in the process because i mean after almost seven hours on the water and the line still intact guinea and constantine would finally reach alaska completing one of the greatest challenges in van lives in crossing the bering strait ribbon board fleet r.t.
