SOCCER

GOLD CUP: Forward Clint Dempsey, midfielder Michael Bradley and goalkeeper Tim Howard are among six additions to the U.S. roster for the knockout phase as Coach Bruce Arena opted to add some of his most experienced players.

Arena also added forward Jozy Altidore, midfielder Darlington Nagbe and goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez, the U.S. Soccer Federation said. Gonzalez’s application to change affiliation from Mexico to the U.S. was approved by FIFA last month after the deadline for setting the 23-man roster for the group phase.

Goalkeepers Brad Guzan and Sean Johnson were dropped, along with midfielders Alejandro Bedoya, Cristian Roldan and Kelyn Rowe, and forward Dom Dwyer.

CYCLING

TOUR DE FRANCE: Chris Froome fought back from a bike breakdown to cling onto his race leader’s yellow jersey after the tricky Stage 15, won with a courageous solo breakaway by Bauke Mollema of the Netherlands.

Froome suffered a back-wheel problem just as the AG2R team of close rival Romain Bardet was picking up the pace on the last big climb of the day, a 5-mile slog up the steep Col de Peyra Taillade.

Froome stopped to get a wheel from teammate Michal Kwiatkowski’s bike and had to work furiously to catch Bardet’s group, who were about a minute ahead. He eventually did catch up and maintained his 18-second lead over Fabio Aru.
