    The haka, and the cultural battleground over sport’s most famous pre-match ritual (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is the most famous pre-game ritual in sport. The haka, a ceremonial Maori dance performed by the New Zealand rugby union team — and other sides representing that country across different sports — is, in many ways, the iconic image of rugby itself. In Baltimore tomorrow (Saturday), a sell-out 71,000 crowd at M&T Bank Stadium will get the chance to witness it first-hand when the team known as the All Blacks take on South Africa in the final match of a four-Test series. It is the first time the

    PARIS, France — The occupants of Tadej Pogačar’s team car cried when he won on Alpe d’Huez. The now five-time Tour de France champion just felt bemused. “I would say just as much as any other win,” he replied when asked of the importance of his stage 19 victory, his first ever on the Alps’ most iconic climb. “But now that every single journalist says how big this win is, maybe I’ll start to realise it too. Maybe I’ll appreciate it once it settles down.” Pogačar’s wins are like mayflies; they com

    Mathieu van der Poel pulled off one of the most astonishing victories of his career on Sunday, holding off the peloton on the Champs-Élysées to win stage 21 of the Tour de France. Van der Poel and yellow jersey Tadej Pogačar worked together after going clear on the third and final ascent of the Montmartre climb, but it looked a long shot for them to hold off the various sprinters teams massed about 10 seconds behind them. Pogačar was caught with around 700 meters to go but Van der Poel pressed o

    Why the 2026 Tour de France has been blessed by its green, white and polka dot jersey competitions (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    The sight that brought it home was the slender figure of Valentin Paret-Peintre, slumped against the barriers on the summit of Alpe d’Huez, sobbing and mourning the loss of his polka-dot jersey. With the Tour lacking a French stage winner for the first time since 1999, the king of the mountains award was one of the country’s final hopes of bringing honor to Paris. For many years, the mountains classification has not been the most storied of jerseys. A design loved by fans, yes, a novelty, but a

    Read excerpt

    Stage 20 of the 2026 Tour de France was the toughest on this year’s slate, and it duly served up a wonderful day of racing on Saturday. Richard Carapaz, dressed in the polka-dot jersey, sealed his second stage win of the race after a brutal battle with Sepp Kuss, which saw the American crash twice on the run-in to Alpe d’Huez and hand the advantage to the Ecuadorian. Behind them, Tadej Pogačar nursed Isaac del Toro to third place in the podium battle, the pair distancing French hope Paul Seixas
