“I’m OK. Nothing too bad,” Pogacar tells Matt Stephens after his crash yesterday. “My whole left arm is open, burned off skin. And I hit my hip a little bit and my shoulder, but luckily I was back on the bike quite fast. Today is another day. It’s not the first time I crashed and continued the race. It’s more important the legs than my arm. I have a super-strong team around me. I am so grateful I can rely on them, even if I have a hard day today, but I hope not.
“It’s really sad to lose another young talent,” Pogacar says of Samuele Privitera’s death at the Giro della Valle d’Aosta yesterday. “It’s devastating. It’s one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Sometimes the risks we are taking are too far. I’m really sad for all his family. May he rest in peace … he deserves to “not be bothered” now. It’s a sad loss.”

The Netflix show’s last season just dropped a trailer full of heavy metal, demons, tornados and flamethrowers. And even better – it might have rediscovered its devastatingly emotional core
Objectively, you should not be excited about the return of Stranger Things. Over the years, the Netflix smash has in many ways come to represent everything bad about television’s streaming era.
It began as a fun piece of fluff, a one-and-done collection of overt 1980s film references, designed as the first part of an unconnected anthology. But then it exceeded expectations, so the Duffer brothers found themselves having to pull an entire mythology out of thin air. And a bloated one at that, full of (at best) bottle episodes about punky young superheroes and (at worst) self-indulgent episodes that grind on for hours and hours.

(Somm)
Supported beautifully by pianist João Araújo, and with songs by composers from seven countries, this recording offers a wealth of colour from a hugely promising performer
The Colombian soprano Julieth Lozano Rolong walked away with the audience prize at the most recent BBC Cardiff singer of the world in 2023, and this recording – with the pianist João Araújo, whom she met while studying at the Royal College of Music in London – leaves no doubt as to why.
The songs, all in Spanish or Portuguese, are by composers from seven countries, and switch seamlessly between art song, folk music arrangements and numbers covered by pop singers. There’s a wealth of colour in Lozano Rolong’s velvet-toned soprano, and her words are immediate and expressive – even in the patter of a song such as Uirapuru by the Brazilian Waldemar Henrique, which zips through so much local folklore that its text needs eight footnotes. Other highlights include a haunting lullaby by Argentina’s Gilardo Gilardi, two almost Puccini-esque songs by the Mexican composer María Grever, and another lullaby, this time dreamier, by Colombia’s Luis Carlos Figueroa. The programme doesn’t have an obvious centre of gravity, but it’s full of small-scale discoveries – including two folk song arrangements by the playwright Federico García Lorca. With Araújo offering beautifully judged support, it showcases Lozano Rolong as a captivating and hugely promising performer.
