Kimi Antonelli converted his third successive pole position into a third successive Grand Prix win at the Miami International Autodrome. But who else joined him in the top half of the Power Rankings charts? Check out the latest scores and overall leaderboard below...

A proper morel hunt requires that you walk the woods for hours with eyes to the ground. The outside world fades into irrelevance, a distant realm of misplaced priorities like mortgages and jobs. In the real world, the morel world, you seek loamy soil, south-facing slopes, fallen sycamores. You go slow. You dodge branches and climb creek beds. You take nothing for granted. [Sarah Kendzior]

​De kogel is door de kerk: de Fransman Paul Seixas maakt dit jaar zijn debuut in de Tour de France. Vele wielerkenners vrezen dat het 19-jarige wonderkind in zijn eerste grote ronde ooit zal bezwijken onder de enorme druk van een hele natie, maar volgens Jean-Luc Gatellier, wielerjournalist voor L’Equipe, is dat volslagen onzin: “Daar is hij te groot voor.”

“Une attaque, Seixas!”, roept Gatellier uit het niks. “Nee, druk is voor gewone mensen. Paul is een dergelijk aards fenomeen allang ontstegen. Druk bezwijkt onder de machtige trappen van Seixas.”

Gatellier blikt vol vertrouwen vooruit op de duels die Seixas in het hooggebergte zal voeren met Tadej Pogacar, de beste renner van dit moment (daar was Gatellier het overigens niet mee eens). “Seixas, onze Paul, is gemaakt voor de Alpen. Sorry, wat zeg ik nou?” De Alpen zijn gemaakt om door Paul beklommen te worden”, verbetert hij zichzelf.

“Oké, vroeger bestempelden we jongens als Thibaut Pinot, Romain Bardet en Julian Alaphilippe tot de ‘laatste hoop van Frankrijk’ en dat liep iets anders dan verwacht”, vervolgt Gatellier, terwijl hij een kersverse tattoo op zijn onderarm laat zien van Seixas met het onderschrift ‘Le Sauveur’. “Maar onze nieuwe Bernard Hinault zal daar geen last van hebben.”

Toch tempert Gatellier de verwachtingen. “Als hij dit jaar niet de Tour wint, is er geen man overboord, hè. Dan is de conclusie simpel: de Tour was dit jaar nog niet klaar voor Paul Seixas.”

Clark was an infant when her mother was arrested. Her debut novel asks what it’s like for children who have only ever known a parent in prison

In Harriet Clark’s debut novel, The Hill, a nun explains what it’s like for babies born in prison. “They don’t know that they are in prison,” she says, “but they know when we force them to leave.”

The book’s child protagonist is Suzanna, whose mother has been serving a life sentence for as long as she can remember. There is no expectation that Suzanna and her mother will have a relationship outside the prison’s walls. And yet, they do have a sustained relationship within them.

This Warren Beatty thriller puts all the anxieties and tension of the 70s into a blender – and delivers a perfectly paranoid pulp mystery

Watching Hollywood cinema in 2026 can make for a curious experience. Take a look out the window, and you’ll notice that the US, and indeed the world, is in a polycrisis – though you’d hardly know it from the films at the multiplex. The odd timely picture aside, Hollywood today directly engages with the present moment only rarely; more Minecraft Movie than One Battle After Another.

In the 70s, when things were arguably last in a comparably sorry state – Kent State, Vietnam and Watergate for the US, economic crises and violent acts of world revolution globally – popular cinema responded very differently. Out of the establishment-sceptical New Hollywood that emerged after the demise of the Hays code, there came a wave of confronting social and political dramas, strongly allegorical sci-fi, and paranoid thrillers, including one of the most deliriously entertaining examples of the latter ever made: The Parallax View.

Participants took 25mg of psilocybin, reporting deeper psychological insight and better wellbeing a month later

A single dose of psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, can induce anatomical changes in the brain, according to research among people who took the psychedelic compound for the first time.

Scientists spotted apparent changes in the brain’s structure which were still apparent a month after healthy volunteers took the drug. If confirmed, they may help explain the therapeutic effects that psychedelics can have on anxiety, depression and addiction, researchers said.

Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola have bought into Luis Enrique’s vision

By Get French Football News

Ousmane Dembélé grins when he says that, if he does not press, he will be benched by Luis Enrique. The Ballon d’Or winner does not do his defensive work under duress. Like the rest of his teammates, he seems to derive enjoyment from a part of the game that was once seen as unnatural. Attackers would attack and defenders would defend; simple rules for a simple game. But demands have changed.

The forward line of Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Neymar was a mouthwatering prospect but they failed to take Paris Saint-Germain close to a Champions League title and there was a lack of joy in their work. All attack and no defend made PSG a dull watch. There was a lesson in their failure: that football had changed and matches could not be won by the sheer weight of their attacking talent.

Veteran host says format may not last as The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ends its 33-year run amid controversy

Ahead of the final episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS, former network late-night host David Letterman said that he would be “surprised” if other shows in that format last too much longer.

Letterman, 79, made the remark in an interview with the New York Times that was published on Tuesday, in which he also described his “disbelief” upon learning Colbert’s show had been cancelled.

The latest conspiracy theory involves the president’s son and a book written in the 19th century. It’s yet another distraction from the war on Iran, the rising cost of living and the Epstein files

Once upon a time there was a boy called Baron Trump, who was growing weary of his privileged life at Trump Castle. Then, one fateful day, Baron found an ancient manuscript by a wise old man called Don, which stated that, a long time ago, “terrible disturbances” on Earth had driven humans into underground bunkers, creating a “World Within a World”. Guided by Don’s manuscript, Baron sets off to Russia to discover the secrets of this hidden land.

Don’t worry, I’m not announcing a new career as a pro-Trump children’s author. I think FBI director Kash Patel, who wrote a series of terrible kids’ stories about a King Trump, has that covered. Rather, I’m summarising a book from the late 19th century called Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey by an American lawyer called Ingersoll Lockwood.

A federal judge also warned White House to tread carefully as it moves ahead with plans to revamp DC golf course

A federal judge weighed into a dispute over Donald Trump’s controversial plans to revamp a historic Washington DC golf course on Monday, warning the president’s administration to tread carefully as it also dumped “toxic” rubble from the demolished White House East Wing there.

District court judge Ana Reyes likened the saga to an episode of the hit television comedy Parks and Recreation during an emergency hearing in the capital to hear an application for a temporary restraining order filed by the DC Preservation League.

DELFT (ANP) - De Nederlandse producent van quantumprocessors QuantWare heeft 152 miljoen euro opgehaald bij een nieuwe financieringsronde. Met het geld wil QuantWare een grote fabriek in Delft bouwen voor de productie van quantumprocessors. Onder andere de durfkapitaaltak van de Amerikaanse chipproducent Intel en overheidsinvesteringsfonds Invest-NL steken geld in de scale-up uit die Zuid-Hollandse plaats.

Volgens QuantWare is dit de grootste particuliere financieringsronde door een quantumprocessorbedrijf. QuantWare, dat werd opgericht in 2021, ontwerpt en fabriceert die belangrijke onderdelen voor quantumcomputers. Dat zijn krachtige computers die complexe problemen veel sneller kunnen oplossen dan gewone.

QuantWare is naar eigen zeggen de grootste commerciële quantumprocessorleverancier ter wereld. De nieuwe productielocatie helpt het bedrijf te voldoen aan de sterke wereldwijde vraag naar zijn ultramoderne en krachtige processors. Met de fabriek kan het bedrijf zijn productie vertwintigvoudigen.
