BERN, Switzerland -- This is why Fabian Cancellara is retiring. His mind was willing but his 35-year-old legs couldnt deliver.For his last Tour de France, the classics specialist and time trial expert earmarked Mondays 16th stage for a special, emotional finish on the medieval streets of Bern, just four kilometers from his house.Cancellara has been in the background, working for his Trek-Segafredo team leader Bauke Mollema, who lay second overall. But on his home roads, which he claimed he could ride blind and were lined with fans signs of encouragement, he was rejuvenated and up front.Furiously pedaling the customized white bike emblazoned with his Spartacus nickname, he fought hard in the tricky finale featuring some cobblestones, a terrain on which the three-time Paris-Roubaix and Ronde van Vlaanderen champion excelled throughout his storied career.He was in contention for his first Tour stage win since 2012, but his hopes were dashed by Peter Sagan, head of the new generation of sprinters. Cancellara was sixth.Fabian is a big name in cycling, and for sure he will also be a legend, said Sagan, who defeated Cancellara when he claimed his first Tour stage win in 2012.When I won for the first time, he was the yellow jersey, we were in a breakaway, and I wanted to beat him. Maybe he was angry at the time. Today, for sure, he wanted to try, but it was not a finish for him.Cancellara, surrounded by dozens of fans, said at his team bus, The best riders were at the front fighting it out. In the end, I was missing a little bit of strength, but I gave it my all and thats the main thing.Its special to ride in your own streets but, for now, Im more tired than anything else.A big star in Switzerland, Cancellara will retire at the end of the season. On the Tour, he wore the yellow jersey for 29 days, a feat only two-time champion Chris Froome has been able to better among the current peloton.Cancellara, a time trial world champion four times, first made his mark at cyclings biggest event 12 years ago, when he won the prologue in Liege in his maiden appearance and seized the yellow jersey at the expense of Lance Armstrong. Last year, he briefly led the standings after the second stage, but was involved in a spectacular crash that left him with broken bones in his spine.Age and the heat have hit him the time.Yesterday I lost five kilos, but tomorrow is a rest day. Maybe Ill drink a beer, he said. The wine will be for the end of the season. Wilson Ramos Mets Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Michigan failed its first major road test of the season.It might not matter for the Wolverines and their playoff hopes -- if they win out.Freshman Keith Duncan kicked a 33-yard field goal as time expired and Iowa stunned third-ranked Michigan 14-13 on Saturday night, damaging the Wolverines playoff hopes.We just have to look in the mirror and look at the film and become better because of this, Michigan tight end Jake Butt said. Theres really no excuse, theres absolutely no excuse.But Michigan is still very much alive, in part because Clemson and Washington lost earlier in the day -- at home, no less.Still, its the middle of November and the Wolverines have yet to beat a team with more than one league win on the road.Wilton Speight threw for 103 yards with a pick for the Wolverines, who gained just 201 yards of offense.We didnt make enough plays to extend drives, first downs. We missed on some deep throws, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. Every little thing doesnt always go your way, and to win, youve got to make it that way.Akrum Wadley had 115 yards rushing to help the Hawkeyes (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) beat a top-five team for the first time in six years.Michigan (9-1, 6-1, No. 2 AP) appeared to have the game wrapped up when Channing Stribling intercepted C.J. Beathards pass with 1:54 left. But the Hawkeyes stuffed the Wolverines, and a facemask penalty put Iowa at Michigans 36 with 1:23 to go.Duncan then drilled the ball through the uprights from nearly the exact same spot where Daniel Murray hit the winner eight years ago to knock Penn State out of the national title picture.It was an incredible feeling, said Duncan, who was immediately mobbed by teammates and fans. Its definitely the biggest kick Ive had.THE TAKEAWAYMichigan: The Wolverines offense struggled mightily on a cold and windy night in Iowa City -- where they had lost in each of their last three trips. Michigans top-ranked defense made up for it for much of the night, but a bad final series by its offense and a crushing penalty put Iowa in position to pull off the massive upset.ddddddddddddIowa: After three straight homes losses and a 41-14 loss at Penn State last week, the Hawkeyes redeemed themselves. The defense looked like the one that was expected to help the Hawkeyes compete for a second straight Big Ten title, and the offense did just enough to give the program a win it sorely needed after weeks of listless play.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Its hard to see Michigan falling further than fourth in the Top 25 . One-loss Louisville and Ohio State could jump past the Wolverines, but all that matters is being in the top four when the playoff committee makes its selections.HISTORY REPEATS ITSELFDuncans big kick was not only reminiscent to 2008, but 1985 -- and Michigan was involved in that one. In what is remembered as perhaps the biggest game in the history of Kinnick Stadium, top-ranked Iowa beat No. 2 Michigan 12-10 on a field goal at the final whistle. The Hawkeyes were later knocked off by Ohio State -- and if the same happens to Michigan on Nov. 26, it can likely forget about the playoffs.THE NUMBERSMichigan ran for only 98 yards on 35 carries. ...Wadley had his best game for the Hawkeyes, even if hes put up bigger numbers in previous efforts. Wadley also caught a 3-yard TD pass on a fourth-down play to bring the Hawkeyes within 10-8. ...Kenny Allen kicked a career-long 51-yard field goal with 9:35 left. ...Iowas home season has certainly been interesting. Before beating Michigan, it lost to North Dakota State of the FCS -- also on a kick at the final whistle.HE SAID ITId rather throw for 60 yards and get a win than throw for 400 and get a loss, Beathard said. He was just 8 of 19 passing for 66 yards.UP NEXTMichigan closes out its home schedule against Indiana, its final tuneup for what should be yet another massive showdown with rival Ohio State.Iowa travels to face Illinois in its last road game of 2016. The Hawkeyes are 3-1 on the road.---More college football at www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
