导出博客文章ANDORRA LA VELLA, Andorra -- Spanish cyclist Joaquim Rodriguez will retire at
the end of this season, ending a 17-year career marked by podium finishes at all
three Grand Tours.Rodriguez made the announcement on Monday during a rest day in
the Tour de France at a news conference organized by his Katusha team.I still
enjoy this sport so much, but I am 37 years old, Rodriguez said in Andorra,
where he has been living and training for many years. One day, I will have to
stop anyway, and I prefer to do this when I am still riding at a high
level.Nicknamed Purito, which is Spanish for small cigar, Rodriguez was fifth
overall after the first week of the Tour, just 37 seconds behind race leader
Chris Froome.I will give my maximum like I did my whole career, Rodriguez said.
I would be happy to finish my Tour career in top 10, but of course I still dream
of another podium in Paris.His best results in the Grand Tours were second in
the Giro dItalia (2012) and Spanish Vuelta (2015), and third in the Tour (2013)
and Vuelta (2010, 12).He also won the Tour of Lombardy twice as well as the
Fleche Wallonne classic, and ended the season at the top of the UCI rankings
three times.Rodriguez is expected to enter the Rio de Janeiro Olympics road race
next month.For the moment, I have no idea what will be my last race, he said. In
theory, Rio and the Spanish Vuelta are still on my program.

Charlie Adam scored both of Stokes goals at Britannia Stadium either side of
Robin van Persies equalizer, with a miserable day for seventh-place United
capped by first-half injuries to centre halves Jonny Evans and Phil Jones that
forced them off. TORONTO -- The last time Mitch Marner remembers attending a
Maple Leafs game as a fan, Mats Sundin returned to Air Canada Centre as a
Vancouver Canuck.Over seven years later, Sundin was back to see his No. 13
raised to the rafters, and Marner was there, too, scoring his first NHL goal to
help Toronto roll over the Boston Bruins 4-1 for its first win of the season on
Saturday night.Marner got his first goal in only his second game, joined on the
scoresheet by fellow rookie and Toronto native Connor Brown. Their efforts came
on the heels of Auston Matthews historic debut, when he became the first player
in the modern NHL to score four goals in his first game.Its a lot of excitement
and obviously theres going to be (a) learning curve and growing pains throughout
the way, but theyve been playing great so far, teammate James van Riemsdyk said
of the youth movement.Brown and Marner opened the scoring about 10 minutes
apart, landing the Leafs in the record books once more. Toronto became the first
team since expansion in 1967-68 to have rookies combine for the first six goals
to start a season, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.Brown had the games
first goal after barely two minutes, joined shortly after by the 19-year-old
Marner and then van Riemsdyk a few minutes after that.The fourth overall pick of
the 2015 draft, Marner took a pass from Tyler Bozak just outside the Boston blue
line, gained the offensive zone with space and fired a shot far-side past
goaltender Anton Khudobin.A native of nearby Thornhill, Ontario, Marner followed
with an exuberant celebration.To finally be playing in front of these fans for
real, its pretty crazy, Marner said. And for the first one to go in in front of
them, its kind of sweet.Outside of Matthews, Marner was perhaps Torontos most
dangerous player in a season-opening overtime loss to Ottawa on Wednesday. He
had six shots in the 5-4 overtime defeat, following that up withh a goal and
four more shots in 15-plus minutes against the Bruins on
Saturday.ddddddddddddHes shown a knack for getting behind the oppositions
defense, finding a seam and some space for his first goal on Saturday.Thats just
good anticipation and good smarts where he can pick his spots to use his speed
to get himself in those situations, van Riemsdyk said.Marner said hed give the
puck from his first goal to his parents.Anton Khudobin allowed four goals on 20
shots for Boston. David Pastrnak scored his third goal in two games this
season.Overall, not a good enough effort on our part, said Bruins coach Claude
Julien. And at the end of the night, you dont deserve the win.The worst team in
the NHL last season, the Leafs have quickly shown themselves to be a much faster
and highly skilled entity in the early days of this season, led by Marner,
Matthews and 20-year-old William Nylander. Often that youth shows itself in less
effective ways though, including a messy second period in which Torontos
sloppiness with the puck led to chances and sustained offensive zone time for
Boston.Id like us to obviously take better care of the puck and so well learn
how to do that, Leafs coach Mike Babcock said afterward.Frederik Andersen gave
up only one goal on 25 shots following his wobbly five-goal outing in Wednesdays
season opener.Matthews was quiet on Saturday after his unparalleled showing
earlier in the week. He was held point-less and finished with only two shots in
nearly 17 minutes.Game notes The Maple Leafs retired 17 sweaters in a pre-game
ceremony, altering a long-standing team policy where jersey numbers were honored
but not retired.UP NEXTBruins: Conclude their season-opening three-game trip
