CHERBOURG-EN-COTENTIN, France -- The Tour de France can rarely be won in the first week.It can be lost, though.Stage 2 on Sunday was a case in point.Four contenders for the overall title lost time over a wet and challenging route that resembled a course for a single-day classic, with two short climbs -- one of them very steep -- near the finish.If a key contender continues to lose time over easier stages in the first week, he will find it difficult to get back into contention once the mountains come later in the race.Vincenzo Nibali, the 2014 champion from Italy, and top French hope Thibaut Pinot each finished 11 seconds behind stage winner Peter Sagan as they struggled up the final climb.It was like a classics finale, on slippery roads, a bit complicated, Pinot said. There are still a couple of tricky stages to come. I need to be patient but all in all Im satisfied.Two-time Tour winner Alberto Contador fell to the ground for the second consecutive day and lost 48 seconds.I lost more time than I had hoped to lose, Contador said. I hit the handlebars and I was hurt on the other side from yesterday. I must stay calm, not lose morale. ... The Tour has really started on the wrong footing. Im not happy at all. Its cycling. I must see if I can make up some time in the Pyrenees and the Alps.Richie Porte, the co-captain of the BMC squad with American standout Tejay van Garderen, punctured a tire toward the end and didnt have any teammates to help him ride back into the peloton. Porte dropped 1 minute, 45 seconds -- likely ending his chances of overall victory.Porte, an Australian, was Chris Froomes top support rider at Team Sky during the Britons Tour wins in 2013 and 2015. He joined the BMC squad for this season with hopes of individual glory.Froome, the Kenyan-born British rider who is favored to defend his title, is placed well in fifth overall, 14 seconds behind leader Sagan.Nairo Quintana, the two-time runner-up from Colombia, also hasnt lost any time in the overall battle and is positioned seventh with the same time as Froome.The other overall favorites who have not lost time are Spanish Vuelta champion Fabio Aru of Italy, Romain Bardet of France and van Garderen.After a flatter Stage 3, more trouble looms in a hilly Stage 4, followed by the first mountain test on Stage 5.The 21-stage race ends July 24 in Paris.Air Max 270 Wholesale .

Nike Air Max 270 React Bauhaus Cheap . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over .MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho rose from his chair and was about to leave the post-match news conference when he turned to his audience, threw his arms up and said: Finally, Ive lost to Arsenal.It was a tongue-in-cheek remark from Mourinho but it summed up his feelings perfectly. United conceded an 89th-minute goal by Olivier Giroud to draw 1-1 with Arsenal in the English Premier League on Saturday, leaving Mourinhos side with an increasingly familiar deflated feeling at Old Trafford this season.United has dominated its last three home games in the league -- against Stoke, Burnley and now Arsenal -- and come away with draws from all of them.We all know internally, Mourinho said, that in this moment we are the unlucky team in the Premier League.Girouds superb header, from fellow substitute Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains right cross, was Arsenals only attempt on target in a match that United controlled at Old Trafford. United did the same against Burnley last time it played at Old Trafford, having 37 attempts on goal but drawing 0-0.Mourinho is cutting a frustrated figure at United, which remains a work in progress in his first season in charge. But he now hasnt lost in 12 Premier League meetings with Arsenal across two spells with Chelsea and one game with United, and stretched his unbeaten run in competitive meetings with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger -- his bitter coaching rival -- to 14 matches.It was a flat and all-too-familiar performance at Old Trafford by Arsenal, who hasnt beaten United away in the league since September 2006 and fell behind to Juan Matas 68th-minute goal. The Spain playmaker met a right-wing cut-back by Ander Herrera with a low, first-time shot into the ccorner for his fourth goal of the season.ddddddddddddMourinho was heading for his most important victory since arriving at United, only for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to sprint past Marcus Rashford, reach the byline and cross for his fellow substitute Giroud to head home at the far post.We had not our usual style going forward. We were not sharp or fluent enough, said Wenger, who suggested that Arsenal might have a mental block when it plays at Old Trafford.Giroud is starting to make a serious claim for a starting place now he is fully fit following a delayed start to the season after the European Championship. The France striker, who has lost his place to Alexis Sanchez as Arsenals lone striker, scored two goals off the bench in the last away game at Sunderland.He is a bit frustrated, Wenger said. That is normal. He is ready to go again.This fixture has provided plenty of drama down the years but there was little to get the crowd excited about here, with the teams decision to field two defensive midfielders stifling much of the attacking play.United had the better of the game, but only created half chances until Matas goal.His future at United looked bleak after Mourinho was hired by United, with the Portuguese coach having sold Mata to United in January 2014 when both were at Chelsea. Mourinho then left the Spaniard distinctly unimpressed by substituting him in the Community Shield in August, soon after bringing him on as a substitute.But Mata appears to be a central figure in Mourinhos plans at United, and was given a standing ovation when he was substituted in the 85th minute.
