Alex Dunne produced a decisive final lap to qualify third for Sunday’s Formula 2 feature race at Monza.
Alex Dunne will start the Formula 2 feature race at Monza from the second row after securing third place in Friday’s qualifying session.
The Offaly driver completed his fastest lap in 1:31.472 for Rodin Motorsport, finishing 0.146 seconds behind pole-sitter Rafael Câmara.
Câmara led an Invicta Racing one-two with a time of 1:31.326. Joshua Dürksen claimed second in 1:31.383, just 0.057 seconds ahead of Dunne.
Dunne recovers from difficult opening runs
Third place represented an impressive recovery after Dunne encountered problems during his early qualifying attempts.
His first serious effort was compromised by a lock-up at the Ascari chicane, sending the Rodin car across the gravel. A subsequent run ended when he went too deep into the opening corner and abandoned the lap.
That left the Irish driver needing to respond while the order continued to change around him. Dunne eventually put together a lap good enough for fourth without receiving the full benefit of a tow around the high-speed Italian circuit.
The final runs began with just over five minutes remaining. Dunne initially moved into second place before Dürksen completed his lap and pushed him back to third.
Monza Qualifying Top Three
1. Rafael Câmara, Invicta Racing: 1:31.326
2. Joshua Dürksen, Invicta Racing: 1:31.383
3. Alex Dunne, Rodin Motorsport: 1:31.472
Strong pace throughout Friday
Dunne’s qualifying performance followed an encouraging free-practice session in which he set the fastest time. Although practice cannot perfectly predict qualifying pace, it demonstrated that Rodin had arrived at Monza with a competitive package.
The nature of the qualifying session made Dunne’s third place particularly valuable. With two early attempts disrupted, there was little room left for another error when the field switched to fresh tyres for the closing minutes.
Instead, Dunne delivered when the pressure was greatest and placed himself in contention for a significant haul of championship points.
The Irishman entered the Monza weekend fourth in the Formula 2 standings. With the season approaching its decisive stage, converting his front-row pace into a clean feature race will be the next priority.
Monza’s long straights and heavy braking zones can produce unpredictable racing, but third on the grid gives Dunne a strong platform from which to attack Sunday’s main event.

Afghanistan star player reaches fifty with a sublime 6 in GAW vs JKM CPL 2026 match ahead of AFG vs IND T20Is [Watch]
Explosive opening batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz showcased his fine form ahead of the upcoming T20I series against India, scoring a quick-fire 35-ball 54 in Guyana Amazon Warriors’ (GAW) win over the Jamaica Kingsmen in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026. The Afghanistan wicketkeeper-batter led the way in the run chase for his team at the Providence Stadium.
GAW were set a target of 160 runs, and Rahmanullah Gurbaz got into the act straightaway by scoring consecutive boundaries in the second over to set the tempo. The opener largely played second fiddle in the powerplay as Mavendra Dindyal took on the bowling.
After Dindyal’s dismissal in the fifth over, Gurbaz unshackled the chains in the last over of the powerplay. The right-handed batter struck three boundaries in quick time to get 17 runs out of the over, before settling in the middle overs. He reached his fifty off 31 deliveries in style after smashing in-form spinner Vitel Lawes for a six down the ground. He responded to the milestone with a passionate celebration alongside his batting partner, Shai Hope. Have a look at the moment right here:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz was dismissed a couple of overs later, but GAW were in a relatively comfortable position in the run chase after the openers’ solid platform. The hosts reached the target comfortably with 16 deliveries to spare to record their fifth win in a row.
GAW are now placed second in the points table behind Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (ABF), who have played four more matches at this stage of the campaign.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been in red-hot form in 2026 in T20 cricket
The 24-year-old is the leading run-scorer among Afghanistan players in the shortest format this year, having excelled in both franchise and international cricket. He has scored 947 runs in 24 matches at an average of 41.17 and a strike rate of 179.69, including two hundreds and seven fifties.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz is likely to play a key role in the upcoming T20I series against India, scheduled to begin on Sunday, September 13. The three-match affair will be hosted at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Lord Remlap, an emerging sprinter from the country circuits, has strongly asserted his credentials as a major contender for the Kosciuszko, extending his perfect winning record with a hard-fought Highway Handicap victory at Randwick.
The four-year-old gelding has now firmed into $8 for the prestigious October feature, having made it four wins from as many starts on Saturday, despite facing a wide passage from his challenging outside draw.
Trainer Scott Singleton admitted to having reservations about the barrier before the race but was never worried during the event, such was his confidence in the horse.
“I never felt panicked,” Singleton said. “I’ve just got a bit of faith in him. I haven’t had too many this promising, and we thought that even before he had a race start. He’s still not the finished article yet, but he’s big, he eats up, and he will come on from that. Bright future for him.”
The timing of Lord Remlap’s Highway Handicap (1200m) victory is particularly opportune, as the sweepstake for the Kosciuszko will be drawn on Wednesday.
The gelding, whose other victories were recorded at Scone (twice) and on Randwick’s Kensington track earlier this year, is almost certain to capture the attention of slot holders, especially given his prominent position in the market.
Singleton confirmed that they were eager to race and had been targeting this goal for a significant period.
“We gave him a break and brought him back at the right time of year, just with the hunch that he is good enough,” he stated. “The timing is right to set him up in the right way.”
Singleton’s previous runner, Melody Again, finished eighth in the Kosciuszko (1200m) last year, but he believes Lord Remlap will be better suited to the sprint distance.
“I had Melody Again in it last year but the 1200 was just a bit short for her,” he explained. “This horse, I’ve always felt he’s the most promising horse I’ve had. Whether it turns out that way once he does a bit of racing time will tell. But I think he’s definitely better than Highways.”
Ridden by Mikayla Weir, Lord Remlap ($5) secured the win by a short neck over Move She Can ($91), with Bengal ($41) a further half-length behind in third.
With Lord Remlap now a strong Kosciuszko contender, consider these online bookmakers for your racing bets.
Nxled’s Jonah Sabete Escamillan during a game against Ho Chi Minh in the PVL Invitational Conference.–MARLO CUETO/INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Jonah Sabete-Escamillan continues to display her well-rounded game for the Nxled Chameleons, who remain in finals contention despite the absence of three-time MVP Brooke Van Sickle in the PVL Invitational Conference.
Escamillan fired from all cylinders, tallying 18 points, 20 excellent receptions, and 15 digs, as the Chameleons vented their ire on Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, 25-20, 31-33, 25-17, 25-22, to improve to a 2-2 record.

Four teams are still fighting for the two finals slots, with Creamline and EST Cola tied at 3-1, while Nxled and PLDT knotted at 2-2, with the former having a 7-6 edge in the FIVB point system tiebreak.

The Chameleons need to win their final elimination game against the Farm Fresh Foxies in three or four sets on Sunday at 1:30 p.m. and will hope for either Creamline or EST Cola to lose to make it to the championship match.
“It’s a big responsibility because Brooke isn’t here, so I need to step up. We’re also short on open spikers right now. There are only three of us, so we really can’t afford for anyone to get injured because we need someone to rotate in, especially with our games coming one after another,” said Escamillan in Filipino.

The veteran spiker also left everything on the floor two days ago against EST Cola with 26 points on 15 kills, six blocks, and five aces, while also collecting 21 digs and 13 excellent receptions. But Nxled blew a 20-12 margin in the fourth set and wasted their 24 kill blocks in a five-set meltdown against the Thais.
“It was really painful. We were already physically tired, but we’re used to these close, hard-fought games. We just told each other that we had to endure whatever happened in this game. We just held on and relied on each other,” said Escamillan.

Nxled also blew a 19-10 fourth-set lead against Ho Chi Minh, as Dang Thi Kim Thanh made it a one-point game, 22-21, but Escamillan conspired with MJ Phillips to refuse to suffer another collapse and complete the win.

“We were already close in that game, but we just lacked the finishing touches. MJ and my other teammates kept saying that we needed to win this game because everyone was really tired. We just held on and kept fighting,” she said.
Nxled, composed of the core of defunct Petro Gazz, eyes a PVL Finals comeback against their former coach Koji Tsuzurabara, whose Foxies remain dangerous despite already being out of the title race.
“Knowing Coach Koji, he’ll definitely study every player. He knows most of us. We just have to prepare ourselves because we know the next game will be another hard fight,” Escamillan said.

Gary Lineker has admitted that he would feel “slightly concerned” if he were still working in football at the BBC today given the substantial cost involved in securing rights to broadcast major tournaments.
Lineker, 65, said he believes there still remains “a place” for terrestrial broadcasting, adding that television networks must carry on adapting to a changing industry.
The former England captain, who fronted Match Of The Day for more than 25 years, departed the BBC in May last year following criticism over the way he expressed his political opinions on his social media accounts.
Speaking to ITV News, he said: “Things are changing and obviously the BBC, ITV, etc, need to work out and change with it to a degree, which I think they are doing – but I still think there’s a place at the moment.”
Lineker added: “But things do change and it will be interesting to see, particularly the area of sport, whether they can still justify having the rights for major tournaments.
“Things will shift in that sense as well. So sporting rights, I think I would be slightly concerned if I was still at the BBC doing football, in terms of them being able to afford the rights for major tournaments.”
The Broadcasting Act 1996 requires Ofcom to designate a list of so-called “crown jewels” to ensure that coverage of certain major sporting events, such as the Olympic Games and the men’s and women’s football World Cups, is widely available to audiences across the UK for free.
BBC Sport made a deal to share the cost of live coverage for the men’s Fifa World Cup in 2026 and 2030 with ITV.
Lineker said: “At the minute, one of the reasons that the terrestrial channels can afford it is because there’s not really a marketplace because of the rules that we have, the listed rules that certain games, World Cup games, etc, have to be on terrestrial television.
“So I think that’s something they’ll be wary of in the future.”
Lineker co-founded the media production company Goalhanger, which creates The Rest Is… series of podcasts.
In June, the business was named as Britain’s fastest-growing private company after recording £37.9 million in sales in 2025.
Lineker said: “The whole business has been an unqualified success really and I’m not quite sure it’s how it’s happened, but it’s subtly joyous and it’s probably given me as much satisfaction as anything I’ve done in my life.”
He added: “There’s nothing like football, right, there’s nothing like scoring a big goal in a big game. You cannot replace that, but the reason it was like that was because you never knew whether it would happen again.
“But aside from that feeling of exhilaration, this has probably given me more satisfaction than anything.”
Jim Gavin has been backed from 16/1 to even money in a dramatic Galway senior football manager betting move following the departure of Pádraic Joyce.
Jim Gavin has emerged as the clear betting favourite to become the next Galway senior football manager after an extraordinary move in the market.
The six-time All-Ireland-winning former Dublin manager was initially available at 16/1 following Pádraic Joyce’s resignation on Thursday evening.
However, the live market on Friday subsequently listed Gavin at even money, ahead of Galway under-20 manager Kevin Johnson at 7/4 and Westmeath manager Mark McHugh at 2/1.
The dramatic change does not confirm that Gavin has been approached or is interested in the position. Managerial betting markets can be relatively small and may react sharply to speculation or a limited number of wagers.
Jim Gavin cut from 16/1 to evens
Gavin’s move is comfortably the most striking development since the first list of possible candidates was released.
A price of 16/1 represents a raw implied probability of approximately six per cent. Even money represents 50 per cent before the bookmaker’s margin is considered.
The 55-year-old has not managed at senior inter-county level since leaving Dublin in November 2019. His record, however, makes him one of the most successful managers in Gaelic football history.
Gavin led Dublin to six All-Ireland senior titles, including the historic five-in-a-row completed in 2019. Dublin also won seven consecutive Leinster championships and five National League titles during his seven seasons in charge.
More recently, he chaired the Football Review Committee responsible for developing the new Gaelic football rules. Gavin has previously spoken about his family roots in the west of Ireland, although his strongest documented family ties are to west Clare.
Next Galway Manager: Friday Live Prices
Jim Gavin: EVS
Kevin Johnson: 7/4
Mark McHugh: 2/1
Tony McEntee: 5/1
James Horan: 7/1
Kevin O’Brien: 15/2
Eamonn Fitzmaurice: 8/1
Stephen Rochford: 10/1
Mark McHugh continues remarkable market move
Mark McHugh has also attracted considerable support. The Donegal All-Ireland winner was reportedly introduced at 25/1 before shortening to 5/1 in the first major market update. He was subsequently listed at just 2/1 in Friday’s live prices.
McHugh’s reputation has risen significantly during his first season as an inter-county manager. He guided Westmeath to their second Leinster senior football title in May, defeating Dublin by 2-28 to 0-26 after extra-time at Croke Park.
His availability would be an obvious question, given the success he has enjoyed with Westmeath and the fact that preparations for the 2027 season are approaching.
Johnson shortens as O’Brien drifts
Kevin Johnson has shortened from 7/2 to 7/4 and remains the leading candidate with an existing role inside the Galway structure.
The Sligo native was appointed Galway under-20 football manager in 2025. He previously led Corofin to consecutive Galway senior championships in 2023 and 2024, Ballintubber to back-to-back Mayo titles and Tourlestrane to a Sligo championship.
Former Corofin manager Kevin O’Brien has moved in the opposite direction. O’Brien and Johnson began as 7/2 joint-favourites, but O’Brien had drifted to 15/2 by the time of Friday’s live market.
O’Brien nevertheless possesses an exceptional record, having managed Corofin to three consecutive All-Ireland club titles during a six-year reign.
Tony McEntee and Fitzmaurice backed
Tony McEntee has been cut substantially from 16/1 to 5/1. The former Sligo manager is currently part of Conor Laverty’s Down management team and previously worked with Mayo under Stephen Rochford.
Former Kerry manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice has also shortened sharply, moving from 20/1 to 8/1.
James Horan and Stephen Rochford have drifted. Horan moved from 5/1 to 7/1, while Rochford went from 6/1 to 10/1.
Galway appointment process still to begin
Galway GAA have said that a process to appoint the next senior football manager will be established shortly.
Joyce stepped down after seven seasons despite having two years remaining on his term. He leaves after guiding Galway to four Connacht titles and All-Ireland final appearances in 2022 and 2024.
The betting has changed dramatically since his departure, but the county board’s formal process will ultimately determine which candidates are genuinely available and interested.
For now, the market has delivered a remarkable early storyline: Jim Gavin has travelled from 16/1 outsider to even-money favourite in less than a day.
Betting prices are subject to change. Please gamble responsibly.
Terence Crawford and Jaron Ennis have never shared the ring, but their rivalry has continued to gather momentum as the two Americans exchanged words during the DAZN broadcast of Andy Ruiz Jr’s comeback against Damian Knyba.
The pair have been linked for years, dating back to Crawford’s time as undisputed welterweight champion when Ennis was emerging as one of the division’s most dangerous contenders. A fight never materialised, with Crawford instead vacating the belts and moving to super-welterweight to beat Israil Madrimov before a jump to super-middleweight to defeat Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. He retired undefeated and a champion in five divisions.
Ennis has since established himself as a major force in his own right. After becoming unified champion at welterweight, ‘Boots’ moved up to 154lbs and stopped Xander Zayas in seven rounds to collect the WBA and WBO super-welterweight titles. He has made clear that undisputed status is now the goal, with WBC champion Sebastian Fundora and IBF champion Josh Kelly among the remaining belt-holders in his sights.
While Crawford has publicly stated that he wants to see ‘Boots’ do well, he has also offered some criticism. He previously argued that Ennis was being given too much credit for the Zayas victory and warned that his tendency to exchange could prove costly against the likes of Fundora or Vergil Ortiz Jr. He has also backed Fundora to beat Ennis and suggested Ortiz would punish the openings he has seen in the Philadelphia fighter’s game.
Ennis has largely brushed those comments aside, insisting Crawford’s opinions do not bother him and pointing out that the former pound-for-pound king is now retired. Alongside promoter Eddie Hearn, however, the Philly native has welcomed the idea of Crawford coming out of retirement to face him, even calling it ‘easy work’.
The tension resurfaced during Friday night’s Ruiz-Knyba broadcast, with Crawford making it clear that he believes he would have had too much for Ennis had they ever met. He also argued that ‘Boots’ will only receive the recognition he is seeking if he proves himself against elite opposition at 154lbs, specifically naming Ortiz and Fundora.
BOOTS AND BUD GOING AT IT 👀🔥🍿#TheFight | #RuizKnyba | Live NOW on DAZN and TNT ▪️ pic.twitter.com/5pe8AgGNfu
— DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) September 5, 2026
The exchange adds another chapter to a rivalry that seems likely to remain in the debate territory. Crawford appears content in retirement, while Ennis remains focused on cleaning out the super-welterweight division.
For now, the chances of them settling the debate in the ring appear remote. But with both men clearly willing to keep discussing the other, the argument over how a fight between them would have unfolded is unlikely to disappear any time soon.
Ennis is reportedly close to inking a unification deal with Kelly, which could take place towards the end of this year.
Coming to Minnesota, Kyler Murray had to navigate a reputation that he didn’t work a ton. Such a critique has now arisen from within the Twin Cities.
Mike Florio, the proprietor at Pro Football Talk, was the proprietor of the rumor. The football writer claims that a trusted source offered the update. Check it out: “The starting quarterback is showing up right on time and leaving as soon as the bell rings.” Not too long afterwards, there are then some quips about being there to work on Tuesdays — something Kirk Cousins didn’t do — before then joking that Murray could bring his PS5 with him.
Mike Florio, Kyler Murray, & Working in MIN
Upon first glance, the description isn’t particularly damning. Being on time and then leaving when the work is done sounds pretty reasonable.
The NFL, though, often isn’t a reasonable workplace.
An old school approach to football would insist that Murray is late if he’s not early (Tom Coughlin). Likewise, there’s a belief out there that not putting in the extra hours afterwards is an issue. Chris Simms, a former NFL passer, mentioned that being the quarterback means being “the hardest working guy on the team, you gotta be the guy that’s in the facility the most.”
Per Simms, that’s a “golden rule.”
Back in June, I got out to TCO for mandatory minicamp. Kyler Murray was made available to the media, allowing me to ask about how he planned on spending his summer time off. Work, not a vacation, was on Murray’s summertime menu.
Check out some of what I learned: “His response largely affirmed a desire to do precisely what [Kevin] O’Connell is asking. The summer time off won’t be time off, per Murray. Instead, the newcomer at QB will look to continue learning and growing in Minnesota’s offense. How well he does within this ambition is going to largely determine his ability to become the starter.”
At least on a public level, Murray said exactly what he was supposed to say. Mike Florio is saying, per a source, that things are a bit different inside of TCO Performance Center.
The Minnesota Vikings are a football team that is stuffed with quarterback talent. Among the leaders, there’s the presence of passers layered into that coaching staff in Kevin O’Connell, Josh McCown, and Wes Phillips, all of whom played quarterback prior to coaching.
And then there’s Kyler Murray as the Vikings’ QB1. He has won the competition but can’t grow too comfortable since all of J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer are on the roster. McCarthy, in particular, is shooting for that starting job even if he has been assigned to a depth position.
So, what do we do with the Kyler Murray hubbub that’s now out there for people to digest?
On a basic level, it’s hard to get too worked up about the issue. Murray is a 29-year-old former No. 1 selection who is now in a terrific setup. Throwing to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison with that front five along the OL is a wonderful workplace environment. Nobody should need to motivate him. He’s a grown man and a professional.
Murray’s work ethic, or lack thereof, is tough to discern from the outside looking in. The Florio report is precisely that: a report. Maybe it contains at least some portion of truth. How much of that truth is being conveyed?
Kyler Murray will make his official Vikings debut next weekend when the Green Bay Packers arrive for the Week 1 game.

Tonight, multiple WWE stars were released before and during SmackDown. 10 names have emerged as several stars have been let go by the company suddenly, without warning.
Multiple WWE Superstars have been suddenly released during and before SmackDown
Thanks for the submission!
WWE has made it a habit of releasing stars regularly from the company over the past few years in big batches. While the company does release stars now and then when their contracts expire, big batches of releases over the years have become common as well.
Tonight, they did the same during SmackDown and before the show started as well. PJ Vasa and Jasper Troy were two of the stars who were confirmed to have been let go. But they were not the only ones. Elle Akesson soon confirmed that she had been released by the company as well. Now, Fightful‘s Sean Ross Sapp has reported that several other stars have also been released from the company, naming Wendy Choo, Braxton Cole, Adriana Rizzo, Zena Sterling, Anya Rune, Gary Wilson, and Marcus Brown.
The complete list of stars released so far can be seen below.
- Wendy Choo
- Adriana Rizzo
- Zena Sterling
- Anya Rune
- Braxton Cole
- Jasper Troy
- PJ Vasa
- Gary Wilson
- Ellen Akesson
- Marcus Brown
These are only the names revealed so far, and it has not been confirmed whether even more stars have been let go from the company. With the number of releases taking place, it should be noted that all of them were from NXT and developmental.
There were other such cuts last year as well, with several big names cut. Of the stars let go, Wendy Choo was at one time a regular on NXT, but has not featured there much in recent months, wrestling more on EVOLVE. She also became the EVOLVE Women’s Champion.
Meanwhile, Zena Sterling was a runner-up on LFG.
