Brembo Brakes, Coming to a Mountain Bike Near You

Italian brake maker Brembo launches its first brake system for professional mountain biking.
The 11-time men's downhill champion Specialized Bicycles Gravity Team will showcase the new setup during the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup race in Val di Sole, Italy.
The MTB brake kit includes a 9-mm master cylinder, a four-piston caliper, and a triple-adjust lever.
Haven't you heard? There's a MotoGP race in Italy this weekend. They're racing at Mugello. According to Brembo analytics, MotoGP riders will slow from 182 to 52 mph into Turn 1, in just 4.7 seconds, as their carbon disc brakes reach temperatures as high as 932 degrees in just that first corner. But today Brembo—supplier of brake calipers, master cylinders, discs, pads, and fluid for motorsports teams in Formula 1, IMSA, WRC, NASCAR, and many others—announced they're peddling technology in a different wheeled sport. It's just introduced a new brake system for professional mountain biking.

Fabrizio Romano confirms Serie A club Como 'have tried to sign' Man United's Antony 'in recent days'

Serie A outfit Serie A have made an attempt to sign Manchester United winger Antony over the past few days, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has revealed. Antony failed to live up to the massive £86m fee United forked out to secure his services from Ajax in the summer of 2022. Advertisement He registered only 12 goals and five assists in 96 appearances for the Red Devils, but a short loan stint with Real Betis in Spain seems to have reignited his form. Antony enjoyed a dramatic improvement in fortunes under Manuel Pellegrini, notching 14 goals contributions in 26 appearances – just five shy of his entire United tally in nearly a quarter of the time. The Brazilian has made no secret of his desire to continue with Betis, who are also working to try and agree a deal with United. Such is Antony's eagerness to return to Seville that he is reportedly willing to accept a 30% pay cut to make the move happen. Advertisement But Los Verdiblancos are not the only club eyeing Antony. He has also been linked to Juventus, Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid. A report covered by The Peoples Person earlier this week relayed that Antony is also of interest to Premier League teams, with Brentford and Aston Villa having enquired about the conditions of a transfer. But, they were told that his top priority is Betis. Now, Romano has revealed that a new club has entered the fray for the 25-year-old, Como. Romano wrote on X, 'Italian side Como have tried to sign Antony in the recent days but Brazilian winger is giving priority to Real Betis return.' Advertisement 'Man United are also aware of Antony's preference to continue at Betis next season, no club to club agreement yet.' If United are unable to strike a compromise with Betis, then the Red Devils can rest assured that there will be no shortage of suitors for the forward. Antony is not thought to have a future at Old Trafford. There have even been suggestions that Ruben Amorim will not include him in the club's pre-season squad.
