A poor performance from Marc Roque and referee Cartier Araza ended the resistance of a proud Montañesa side who were already 0-3 behind.
The match did not start well for the Nou Baris team as Gabaldon was sent off for allegedly assaulting an opposing player.
Marc Roque headed home a corner kick from Nir Salalic and also kept his mark on the counter-attack, receiving the ball behind the home defence and finding Ivan Surkov who smashed it into his own goal.
Antonio Escudero’s side responded well, even having a goal disallowed because the referee did not call for a foul. Then Kevin Diaz hit the post with a shot. Just before the break, youngster Ivan Surkov reduced the deficit with a header from a corner. When the signal for a break was made, a big tangana formed between players from both XIs.
Marc Lockett then completed his hat-trick with a fantastic goal from outside the area.
Jaime’s goal was enough for Manresa to win.

Morerussa lost to San Cristóbal despite a very noticeable attacking commitment in the first half.
The local team was strong and in the 12th minute Jofre Graels made Carles Segura worry with a goal after a defensive instability of the Egarense team. The verticality with the ball at his feet in the first half could not be more clearly expressed with a few meters to go.
After the break, San Cristóbal brought about a turning point in the match with a powerful and well-placed shot, but it fell just short of Alberto Batalla, establishing the score at 0-1.
After the goal, Moreruza had several chances to equalize, but they were denied by a very calm Carles Segura between the sticks. The disapproval of the Hilerda team, who referred to some decisions made by referee Víctor Moreno Martínez during the match, and the physical fatigue it took both sides to endure one of the first games of the course, ultimately led to their elimination. San Cristóbal has many advantages

Dakar motorcycle rider Tosha Chalayna: “Are we risking our lives? When you too go to buy bread. When I fall, the first thing I think is: “Let’s hope the bike is in good shape.”
Tosha Shalayna (Valencia, June 3, 1995) is one of the favorites to win. dakar Riding a motorcycle, he broke the Spanish drought on two wheels that has lasted since he last won the title. Mark Koma in 2015. The Valencian showed with incredible speed at Dakar 2025 that he has everything to succeed. Finished in 2nd place, 8 minutes behind the winner.after days of riding with a broken collarbone and several falls. A year later, he dreams of victory.
Was the pressure of getting injured at the beginning of your debut as a Honda executive at Dakar 2024 before Dakar 2025 weighing on you?
No, it’s not pressure. And if you think that’s pressure, congratulate yourself. Because we have fought all this time to have the opportunity to play against great players and being in the official team means we are enjoying it now. As drivers, we all feel pressure, but we have to do well for ourselves. Whenever you feel pressure, please bless me. And I wouldn’t change it for anything. I think that’s what gives me that extra bit as well.
How would you describe the physical fitness of a biker? On Stage 9 of Dakar 2025, you got off your bike injured, got up, dusted yourself off, and got back on your bike like nothing had happened.
(lol) That becomes a burden when you get older… (lol) I may fall down many times, but I don’t think I realize the pain until long after I get up. So far, the first thing I think when I drop is “Oysters!” Run to the bike and tell him everything is fine and we are second and we can continue because we are fighting to win. “I never think I hurt myself. The only thought that crossed my mind was “It’s an Oyster, so make sure the bike is in good condition and no broken towers or road books!” Let’s not fail! ‘I don’t know if that’s a strength or not, but we have clear goals, we know the work we need to do, and we’re moving towards it.
“Right now, when I fall, the first thing I think is, ‘Oh, I’m going to run to my bike and hope that if everything goes well I can continue, because we’re second and we’re fighting to win.'”
What do you think about the 2026 route?
Every Dakar is very tough and that’s what it will be. The stages are long, with two marathon stages, but you’ll be sleeping in tents and without team support. It comes down to a combination of knowing how to tighten and knowing how to maintain the mechanism.
Are you worried about stones?
Now all the pilots have a very high level and skill. I think it was more due to the day-to-day fatigue of what would be such a long stage and a concern about not breaking anything on the bike than any concern about technique going through these sections. We move away from the open desert, last year’s sand and go to more stones. I don’t know if it’s good or bad. It will be very different.
“We’re going to move away from the open areas and the sandy beaches of last year and towards more rocky areas. I don’t know if it’s good or bad. It’s going to be a big change.”
What strategy do you have in mind?
You should arrive well-prepared and take it one step at a time. Of course, you will reach a stage where you can control the race to a certain extent, but in the early stages everyone will be pushing hard, no matter what anyone says. Is it a plan? A thousand things happen in Dakar. There are many days and it’s not just you, it’s the bike too and there are thousands of factors. We must always keep our feet on the ground and fight for victory.
Is it possible to win?
We always leave home with the same goal – victory. It’s going to be very difficult and we have great competition, but we have everything we need to win.
“We always leave home with the same goal, which is a victory. It’s going to be very difficult, we have great competitors, but we have everything we need to go towards it.”
Now there are a dozen or so drivers in front with a lot of pace.
This is one of the major differences from before. Before, there were at most two to four drivers who could win, but now they are at a very good level, and there are drivers who don’t stand out that much during the year, but in the Dakar they are there. There are many drivers who can perform well, win stages and be at the front, and we have to be there too.
It’s like an elimination game, with so many drivers risking it every day to perform to the best of their ability. Do you feel like you are putting your life at risk?
Well, we’re putting our lives at risk…we don’t know at the end of the day. They risk their lives every day to buy bread. Of course I’ll do my best, but I’ll never go to 120%, which could cause a fall. Ultimately, the drop could be 10% or 150%. We never think of risking our lives, but we will do our best. I know it’s a very dangerous sport, but at least in my case, the days are long so there’s always a margin of error to go very fast but safely.
A lot of people think Sanders, Brabec and you are on another level.
(Laughs) Well…I think we’ve been fighting hard in every race this year, and of course it means something to be there, but I also think there are some very strong drivers who come from behind, and there are some who suddenly win a stage. I don’t know, but the numbers look like this. The three of us have been fighting all season and that’s the reality.
What does it mean to win the Dakar?
It’s a dream. Sounds very typical, but that’s the reality. It’s a dream. Dakar has a clear meaning for me. For me it means a change in life. I went from being there surviving, to trying to find my way in this sport, to finally finding it. My dream since childhood was to run in Dakar. I wasn’t even thinking about winning, I was just thinking about racing. As I got older, I realized what I wanted and spent a lot of time pursuing it. So it must be a dream.
What do you want from this Dakar?
We’re not going to ask him to win, because we’re going to do that, but I would say give him a little bit of luck, and we all need it, help us a little bit, but in the end it’s us who have to win.

Suzuka Circuit is preparing for the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix; Large-scale asphalt renewal works have started on the track before the new Formula 1 season.
The Japan circuit has been home to F1 for many years and is considered one of the most difficult and favorite tracks among drivers. High speeds, technical configuration and variable weather conditions have repeatedly made Suzuka the venue for iconic championship moments.
The 2026 stage is scheduled for March 29 and will be the third stage in the season calendar.
The western part of the track, including the iconic Spoon Corner, is now completely closed. A new layer of asphalt was laid, which should change the properties of the coating.
The new surface is expected to have a low level of grip at the beginning of the weekend, but grip will gradually increase as the rubber accumulates; this can significantly affect the cars’ settings.

Yuki Tsunoda admitted that on the eve of Red Bull’s official decision, he heard rumors that he would retain his place in Formula 1 within the Red Bull system, but the truth turned out to be completely different.
Before the last stage of the season in Abu Dhabi, it was announced that Isak Hajar will replace the Japanese in 2026. Racing Bulls duo will be Liam Lawson and Arvid Lindblad. As a result, Tsunoda will move into the role of Red Bull’s reserve and test driver at the start of the new era.
Tsunoda was informed about the team’s 2026 plans after the Qatar Grand Prix and, according to him, was already mentally preparing for his reserve role. But shortly before the official meeting, he heard completely different information.
“I was told of the decision after the race in Qatar, but it was not taken seriously at first,” Tsunoda said.
“I was prepared for this scenario, but the news was different from what I had heard before, so it surprised me.”
The Japanese also noted that the decision could change at the last minute:
“I heard before the briefing that the whole thing could literally be replayed. There were many reasons for this, of course. But when they told me I wouldn’t have a permanent position next year it didn’t feel like the end of the world.”
“Abu Dhabi was ahead, so I immediately focused on the next race.”
Despite the disappointment of moving to the reserve driver position, the driver hinted that his role at Red Bull could be broader than the standard job of reserve driver.
“There is a possibility that my duty will not be limited to simulator and reserve pilot status,” Tsunoda said.
I’ve already heard a few possible scenarios. “I’ll rest for now and then start preparing for next season.”
