PARIS -- The Tour de France is so full of key moments, its hard to narrow down a list of memorable moments. But here are 10 that stood out -- for better or worse and, in some cases, a bit of both.1. July 2: Historic startStage 1: Mont Saint Michel to Utah Beach, 188km When the Tour began in Normandy, many were drawn to the memory of the D-Day Invasion on Utah Beach from World War II. Some of the top cyclists even took part in a pre-race ceremony honoring those who died on that day. Once the focus switched to the race, some doubted that British sprinter Mark Cavendish (Dimension Data) could win a stage given his track training for the Rio Olympics. But he silenced those doubts, winning the stage ahead of German Marcel Kittel (Etixx-QuickStep) to take his first career yellow jersey and triggered a four-stage winning spree.2. July 5: So. Close.Stage 4: Saumur to Limoges, 237.5km OK ... it was the longest stage of the Tour, but it still finished with the whirl of speed and spinning wheels that make up a bunch sprint. Kittel was under immense pressure to come up with a win after being beaten by Cavendish on Stage 1. He got the win, barely. It took a photo finish to show that he edged out Frenchman Bryan Coquard (Direct Energie). One felt for Kittels joy and Coquards lament.3. July 9: Froomes daring descentStage 8: Pau to Bagnères de Luchon, 184km The totally unexpected and equally exciting descent by Chris Froome on the Col de Peyresourde in the Pyrénées to the finish left everyone gobsmacked -- not least of which his rivals -- especially considering that descent was seen as one of his rare weaknesses. His stage win by 13 seconds over Irishman Dan Martin (Etixx-QuickStep) saw him take the yellow leaders jersey, which he did not relinquish for the rest of the race.4. July 10: Rain, rain, rainStage 9: Vielha Val dAran to Andorra Arcalis, 184.5km Plenty of credit is due to Dutchman Tom Dumoulin (Giant-Alpecin) for his stage win at the first summit finish of the Tour in conditions that turned horrendous -- rain, then hail and wind. He won in a solo break by 38 seconds over Portugals Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida). But the standout image of the day was that of smiling Colombian Jarlinson Pantano (IAM) riding up the final slopes holding a spectators umbrella.5. July 12: No I in teamStage 10: Escaldes-Engordany to Revel, 196km It takes something special to get into a Tour break, let alone for a team to get the majority of numbers in the winning move as Orica-BikeExchange did with Michael Matthews, Luke Durbridge and Daryl Impey making the final seven-rider split. A break loaded with numbers from one team should always win, but it is easier said than done. In a brilliant display of teamwork, Orica was superb, with Matthews winning his first career Tour stage.6. July 13: More magic from FroomeStage 11: Carcassonne to Montpellier, 162.5km Having already pulled one rabbit out of his hat, Froome delved into it again in the final kilometres. Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) attacked into the cross wind, and Froome pounced into his slipstream. Soon he, Sagan, and Geraint Thomas (Sky) and Sagans teammate Maciej Bodnar had distanced the peloton. Froome finished second behind Sagan to gain six seconds, but the move reinforced his brazen intent to catch his rivals off guard, and early.7. July 14: The motor bike incidentStage 12: Montpellier to Mont Ventoux, 178km The defining image of this Tour will be of Froome running through the crowds without his bike after he, Australian Richie Porte (BMC) and Dutchman Bauke Mollema (Trek-Segafredo) crashed into the television motor bike blocked by crowds. This is not a highlight considering how it happened and the questions raised later about why barriers had not been placed on a finishing straight shortened due to winds at the summit.8. July 16: All Cavendish, all the timeStage 14: Montélimar to Villars les Dombes, 208.5km Cavendishs second stage win earlier in the race brought him level with Bernard Hinault for the second-most Tour stage wins of all time (28). By the time he claimed his fourth of this Tour and 30th overall at Stage 14, he was only four behind the all-time mark held by Eddy Merckx. Beating Norwegian Alexander Kristoff (Katusha), Cavendish won in style with a four-finger victory salute. Three days later on rest day No. 2 in Berne, Cavendish left the Tour to focus on the Rio Olympics.9. July 22: Bardets bold moveStage 19: Albertville to Saint Gervais Mont Blanc Froomes crash with Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) was understandably high drama. But the stage win by Romain Bardet (Ag2r) deserved a massive thumbs-up for guts and guile. The bottleneck for podium places was extremely tight at the time, and Bardet, starting the day in fifth place overall, showed plenty of panache to take the race on. He not only won the stage but moved up to second at 4:11 behind Froome and shored up his podium spot.10. July 21: The time trialStage 18: Sallanches to Megève. Mountain time trial, 17km Time trials make for long and often tedious days for all on a Tour, but there is always the crescendo to the final riders on whom the outcome could make or break their race. Froome was last off as overall leader and won the stage to extend his lead, showing he was clearly the strongest rider. Robby Anderson Jets Jersey .

Jachai Polite Jersey .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city. DALLAS -- Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Baylor officials are scheduled to meet with the leagues board of directors Tuesday to present their plans to address the sexual assault scandal that rocked the university this summer.Bowlsby, speaking Monday at the opening of Big 12 media days, said Baylor officials have declined to release the full Pepper Hamilton report to the conference. He said Big 12 officials have had access to only a summary of the report and findings of fact that Baylor officials released to media and the public in late May.Our board has asked for a full accounting from Baylor University relative to the sexual assaults and their universitys response to that situation, Bowlsby said. I think its fair to say that theyre deeply concerned about the associational elements of this. ... From a purely athletic standpoint, we also have to be satisfied that there havent been Big 12 rules broken and there havent been NCAA rules violated. That is the essence of our process, and its very early in the process right now.On June 22, the Big 12 issued a public statement demanding specifics of Baylors sexual assault investigations, including the full Pepper Hamilton report, and made a point of noting that this was the second time the conference had to ask. The first request was a letter to then-president Kenneth Starr on May 24, two days before the university publicly released the law firms report summary and announced the fates of Starr, athletic director Ian McCaw and football coach Art Briles.This time, Baylor responded. There was an in-person meeting June 23 between Bowlsby and Baylor officials, including interim president David Garland and board of regents chairman Ronald Murff. They gave Bowlsby no documents, no details of the investigation, none of the names involved in the alleged assaults and none of the material the conference originally requested, but they did give him an explanation.I thought all of them were very forthright, Bowlsby told ESPN last week. They are in the middle of ... a number of potential civil actions, and on the advice of counsel, they are not sharing everything they have. At least not right now.Garland told ESPN last week that Baylor officials met with NCAA enforcement staff earlier this summer to address what was included in the Pepper Hamilton report. He said the university hasnt been contacted by the NCAA since the initial meeting.Garland, Murff and Baylor regent David Harper are scheduled to address the Big 12 board of directors Tuesday, according to Bowlsby.Bowlsby said the Big 12 board of directors executive committee -- Oklahoma president David Boren, Texas president Gregory Fenves and Kansas chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little -- decided to go public with the news that they were demanding information from Baylor and that the school wasnt complying.I think that there are certainly those among our board that have felt that the image of the Big 12 and the other members of the Big 12 have been sullied as a result of this incident, Bowlsby said. Its gotten a lot of publicity, obviously, so thats the reason the board took the steps they took.Bowlsby said the Big 12s goal is to erase sexual assault at its institutions.We are very committed as a group of 10 schools to eradicating sexual assault on our campuses, he said. It almost goes without saying that when you combine alcohol and drugs and raging hormones and thhe experiences of 18-22 years old, its probably unrealistic to think that these kinds of things are never going to happen.dddddddddddd But we certainly want to make sure that from the center we do everything we can to ensure that they are minimized, if not eradicated.Bowlsbys comment, however, has been ridiculed on social media as being too accepting of any sexual assaults taking place on college campuses.Later on Monday, Bowlsby was asked to clarify his comments about sexual assaults on college campuses.Ive only worked on campus for 35 years, Bowlsby said. Thats not blaming anybody. Thats just the reality of it on a college campus. Its not right, but thats what goes on. Thats what every Thursday, Friday, Saturday night is. Im not sure what else to say. I wasnt being flippant about it. I dont think it mitigates it.It should never happen and we should do everything we can to eradicate it. But if you put 25,000 18- to 22-year-olds on a campus together and mix in any of those other things, there are going to be people that make bad decisions. Im not talking about victims or survivors or perpetrators. Thats just what happens. Im really not trying to be crass about it. I just know thats the environment thats on campus.Three federal Title IX lawsuits involving sexual assaults are pending against Baylor, and they represent claims by eight women, including two who said they were assaulted by Bears football players.I came away with enhanced confidence that David Garland was very intent upon doing the right things and leading the university out of a dark chapter and that the board [of regents] was similarly committed, Bowlsby told ESPN. Having said that, this is a very long process and it has many steps to it, not the least of which are all the things that the Pepper Hamilton report details need to be done, and some of them are pretty big projects. But saying it and doing it are two different things.How long the conference waits depends on the patience of the board of directors, which is composed of the presidents of the member schools, including Baylor. Bowlsby said they realize this is a long process, but I dont think theyre going to wait forever, regardless of where Baylor is with its various lawsuits.Bowlsby said Baylor is aware that there could be repercussions for not turning over the information, although he wouldnt say what those might be. The conference, which distributes about $25 million to each of its member institutions, doesnt have specific bylaws that address this, he said, adding that the board has a wide array of options if and when the time comes.Its also unclear what would happen if the conference received the information and then determined that Baylor had violated bylaws regarding compliance with Title IX and unfair competition, because the league doesnt have the power to impose the same sort of punishment as the NCAA. Bowlsby didnt rule it out, though.If its determined they werent in compliance [with Title IX], theres a provision in our bylaws that says they have to be in compliance but it doesnt apply a specific remedy for that, Bowlsby said. So the board would have to get back together once that finding is finalized and determined what, if any, penalty or sanction there might be at the conference level. ' ' '
