El Lidl-Trek de Ayuso, tajante con la temeridad de Aleix Espargaró en bicicleta: “No refleja nuestros valores”

La cuenta de Instagram del Museu Vicenç Folgado (@museumotosfolgado), dedicada mayoritariamente a difundir la pasión por las motocicletas en la Costa Brava, compartió el pasado domingo un vídeo en el que un ciclista con la indumentaria del Lidl-Trek, el equipo profesional en el que milita Juan Ayuso, adelantaba de forma temeraria a varios vehículos durante el sinuoso descenso del puerto Els Àngels, en Gerona. Poco después, el metraje, de apenas ocho segundos, comenzó a circular por las redes y pronto quedó claro que la acción había sucedido un día antes, el sábado, y que el corredor en cuestión no era otro que Aleix Espargaró.

“I’ve said to the physios” – Cole Palmer shares major fitness update

Cole Palmer has revealed he’s feeling the best he’s felt in “four of five months” following Chelsea’s win against Aston Villa.

The Blues ran out emphatic 4-1 winners at Villa Park, to move above Liverpool and back into fifth place as the race for Champions League football continues.

Chelsea responded brilliantly to going a goal down in the opening minutes with Joao Pedro scoring a hat-trick, and Palmer also getting on the scoresheet.

Palmer has struggled with a groin injury this season, which caused him to miss virtually the entire first half of the campaign.

Since returning in December he’s had some good moments, but things haven’t appeared quite right, and he didn’t have a good performance against Arsenal.

However, speaking before the big win, Palmer provided a fitness update, and revealed this is the best he’s felt in months.

“I still feel a bit away from being [the best Cole Palmer],” he said as quoted on X.com.

“I’ve said to the physios this week that this is the best I have felt in four or five months.

“I can do everything on the pitch now so it is just about finding my rhythm.”

Palmer has previously stated he’s yet to play a game fully fit this season, but put in an encouraging performance at Villa Park.

The England international now has five goals and an assist in his last league five games, and Chelsea will be hoping that form continues.

Joao Pedro delivers once again

Whilst Palmer is continuing to work on getting back to his best, Pedro has continued to go from strength to strength under Liam Rosenior.

The 24-year-old has now scored 14 league goals this season, and has eight in his last eight Premier League matches.
