Dak Prescott faces a good defense. from corse178's blog
LA CAVERNE DU PONT-DARC, France -- The Tour de France rode on as planned Friday, with thousands of fans lining the roads and amid reinforced security a day after a deadly attack in Nice. Markelle Fultz Jersey .France was reeling again after a large truck mowed through a crowd of revelers gathered for a Bastille Day fireworks display in the Riviera city of Nice, killing at least 84 people Thursday night. The attack, on Frances national holiday, followed attacks in November in Paris that killed 130.The carnage did not deter cycling fans from showing up in numbers at the starting line in the small town of Bourg-Saint-Andeol.We cant let our guard down, but it was important that they continued the race, said Bruno Pruvost, a 56-year-old fan. Otherwise, it would be too easy for them.Defending champion Chris Froome, the races current leader, tweeted a picture of the blue, white and red French flag Friday.Froome extended his overall lead Friday after organizers decided the hilly, 23-mile leg from Bourg-Saint-Andeol to La Caverne du Pont-DArc in the Ardeche region would go ahead following an emergency meeting with authorities.Froome finished second to Tom Dumoulin on the 13th stage but ahead of all other general classification contenders. A time trial specialist, Dumoulin was in a league of his own, but Froome limited his time loss to 63 seconds.Its terrible what happened and overshadows the day a lot, said Dumoulin, who also won a mountain stage last week in the Pyrenees. So youre speaking to a man with two sides to his face today. Of course Im happy with the win, but at the same time my thoughts are with everyone involved in the horrific attacks in Nice.Froome leads Dutch rider Bauke Mollema by 1:47 overall, with fellow Briton Adam Yates in third place, 2:45 back.There was a moment of silence at the start, several hours drive from Nice.?After the stage, Froome was joined on the podium by the other jersey holders, Dumoulin and several Tour officials to pay their respects to the victims.Today, we want to pay homage to the victims with dignity, tour director Christian Prudhomme said. We have been asking ourselves if the race should continue, and after consulting with authorities, we have decided that it should. The Tour de France will continue in a subdued and solemn manner.France has declared three days of national mourning after the attack in Nice.The publicity caravan -- which precedes the riders on the stage route every day, handing out free gifts and souvenirs and blasting loud music -- rode silently Friday.Security already had been reinforced at the Tour this year, with France in a state of emergency since the Paris attacks. The three-week race is protected by an unprecedented force of 23,000 police officers, including SWAT-like intervention squads, while security guards perform bag checks and pat downs at the start and finish of every stage.Eric Luzet, the polices liaison officer to the Tour, said extra security measures were implemented overnight, with 600 police officers in charge of security for the stage.We have adjusted our measures after what happened in Nice, Luzet said. They have been deployed at the start and finish of the stage and along the 37.5 kilometers of the route.Mollema -- who was involved in a crash with Froome in the final mile of Thursdays Stage 12 at Mont Ventoux, when a TV motorbike was forced to stop on the road because of fan congestion -- said his thoughts are with the people in Nice.Froome was awarded the same time as Mollema after he was forced to wait for a replacement bike following the incident, a decision that left Mollema unhappy. But the Dutch rider put his rivalry with Froome aside.I couldnt sleep yet and now read about something more important than the Tour, Mollema wrote on Twitter.French climber Romain Bardet also expressed sadness over the attack.Being French, gathering, celebrating, loving each other, he posted on social media. And never giving up. Im thinking about Nice.The Associated Press and the Press Association contributed to this report. Markelle Fultz White Jersey . The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said. Markelle Fultz Youth Jersey . The showiest items on Calgarys lot were forwards Mike Cammalleri and Lee Stempniak. Both will be unrestricted free agents this summer. http://www.authentic76ersauthority.com/markelle-fultz-76ers-jersey-c-27/ . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise. One of the true negatives of Thursday night games is seeing key players, often stars, unable to participate because of the short turnaround.Thats the case this week for the Arizona Cardinals, whose quarterback, Carson Palmer, remain in the NFLs concussion protocol and is out.With the Cardinals at 1-3, just like their opponent, San Francisco, this is no time to be short-handed. Particularly at that position.Cardinals coach Bruce Arians had been somewhat optimistic about Palmers availability. He even checked with Palmers wife for an evaluation.Well, youre not going to get the real truth from a football player, Arians says. Hes always going to tell you hes ready and hes OK. I was counting on her to tell me what it was really like.Not that Shaelyn Palmer is a doctor. So it will be Drew Stanton behind center.The 49ers have dropped three straight since an opening victory, but they will have their regular signal caller in Blaine Gabbert. Though Gabbert hardly has been a sensation for San Francisco.Short week or not, you cant skip any part of your normal preparation, Gabbert said. If anything, you have to do more, especially from the physical aspect to get your body feeling the way it should by Sunday, which happens to be Thursday this week. And then from a mental aspect ... its just everything is sped up.The disappointing Cardinals (No. 20 Arizona, AP Pro32) are 4-point favorites over the host Niners (No. 31, AP Pro32).CARDINALS, 24-16KNOCKOUT LEAGUE TIPThe Bengals came through for us last week, and we will remain in the Buckeye state this time.
