"Cooked" Pol Espargaro needed "bad moment" MotoGP British GP return

Image
The Tech3 GasGas rider had been out of action since suffering multiple back and jaw fractures in a crash during FP2 for the Portuguese GP, making his return at Silverstone last weekend. At the end of a mentally and physically draining weekend, Espargaro finished both races and scored points in the grand prix after taking the chequered flag in 12th. Speaking to the media at the end of his comeback weekend, Espargaro admits he was considering pulling out of the grand prix early before he saw several riders ahead of him pit for wet tyres when it started to rain in parts of the track. "I'm cooked. Well, after 10 laps I was cooked," he began. "After the first 10 laps I was completely burned out.

With LeBron James eclipsing Kareem's scoring mark, Lakers fans should take a moment to enjoy the moment

It makes sense that the only thing here in Los Angeles with the real power to temporarily freeze and silence all the drama created by a LeBron James team in disarray is, in fact, a LeBron James act of utter greatness.  This season, the Lakers have emitted a hum of humdrum basketball -- a low-frequency of frustration sent out by so much mediocrity and angst: The Russell Westbrook drama. Anthony Davis' now past-tense but still impactful stretch of injury. The future first-round draft picks that will or won't be traded. LeBron's constant, passive-aggressive attempts to force his team's hand in the matter, sparking one rival GM to snipe at CBS Sports , "Everyone knows he wants those picks traded for help -- he should just do what anyone would and have the guts to say so out loud."
