Lennard Kamna won stage 16 of the Tour de France
German cyclist, Lennard Kamna, won stage 16 of the Tour de France with no problems. Kanma, a rider for Bora-Hansgrohe, brushed off the second place he had won at Puy Mary. In Villard de Lans he achieved his most prestigious victory. The first Alpine stage was for the German rider.
Kamna surprised Ecuadorian Richard Carapaz in a breakaway. He withstood Carapaz’s constant attacks. But then he counterattacked in the last kilometers of the final ascent to Saint-Nizier-du-Moucherotte. Thus getting an advantage that grew bigger with the Ecuadorian on the following plain.
The main group of contenders crossed the finish line more than 16 minutes after the German cyclist. At the end of the stage, Slovenian Primoz Roglic kept the yellow jersey. Roglic took 40 seconds off the overall time of his country-mate Tadej Pogaca.

Through his social media, the President shared his interaction with executives from the Houston and Colorado teams, as well as with Astros’ Mexican pitcher, José Urquidy.

The photos also featured former Mexican major leaguers Vinicio “Vinny” Castilla and Jorge de la Rosa, both of whom played for the Colorado team.

Social media star Om Fahad fatally shot in Baghdad
An Iraqi TikToker, previously sentenced to prison last year for posting content deemed “indecent” on social media, was fatally shot in Baghdad on Friday, according to two security officials.
Om Fahad, who had tens of thousands of followers on TikTok and Instagram, gained fame for her videos featuring her in tight outfits dancing to Iraqi music, in a country that is predominantly conservative and patriarchal.
The young woman was shot by an assailant on a motorcycle while she was in her vehicle outside her home in central Baghdad, two security officials reported anonymously to AFP.
In February 2023, a court initially sentenced Om Fahad to six months in jail for “publishing various videos with indecent intentions that violate modesty and public morals.”
