Chris Froome extended his advantage in the yellow jersey as Ilnur Zakarin won stage 17 of the Tour de France to Finhaut-Emosson.After Katushas Zakarin took stage honours up the road, Froome raced clear of his main rivals to build a cushion of almost two and a half minutes at the end of this 184.5-kilometres stage from Berne.When BMCs Richie Porte attacked from the group of main contenders late on the final climb up to the Emosson Dam, only Froome could respond to join his former teammate.Behind Dutchman Bauke Mollema, who started the day second overall, was the first to be dropped, giving up 40 seconds to Froome.But most encouraging of all for Team Sky will have been the sight of Quintana completely unable to respond as the attacks began.The Colombian has usually come on strong in the third week of Grand Tours and threatened Froomes position in yellow late in last years Tour, but does not appear to have the legs to rival him again.For Froome, who appears to be closing in on a third Tour victory, it was a near perfect scenario as he was pulled up the hill by Porte without needing to do a turn on the front himself ahead of Thursdays time trial.I dont think it was possible to go much faster there, Richie seemed to be doing just fine on his own, Froome said. Tactically for me there is really no need to get on the front and start pulling on the final.Tomorrow is going to be crucial and this is the first day of a four-day block [in the Alps].While not writing off Quintana, Froome acknowledged that the man expected to be his strongest challenger here is not living up to his pre-race billing.Its been a very difficult Tour for Nairo, he said. Hes still a great rival and a big challenger for me but he lost more time today. I think for him to re-enter into the game again hes going to have to do a real good time trial tomorrow.As Froome crossed the line alongside, Quintana was dropped by Adam Yates, who rode away to boost his hopes of a podium finish.The provisional general classification showed Froome two minutes 27 seconds clear of Trek-Segafredos Mollema with Yates, riding for Orica-BikeExchange, two minutes 53 seconds back.That puts the 23-year-old Briton 34 seconds clear of Movistars Quintana in fourth.Zakarin rode clear of stage 15 winner Jarlinson Pantano of IAM Cycling and Tinkoffs Rafal Majka in the king of the mountains polka dot jersey to collect his first Tour de France stage win.I did my best today, the 26-year-old Russian said. Im really happy now. Thank you to my team-mates, theyve been super. This result is not a surprise for me. In the first week, I also tried to go for it.Zakarin, who in 2009 was suspended for two years after he tested positive for the forbidden anabolic steroid methandienone, did not comment on the possibility that the entire Russian team will be banned from next months Olympics in Rio over allegations of state-sponsored doping.Im not following the news. Im reading. Im watching movies to be away from all the stress that does not concern me, Zakarin said.Katusha team general manager Viacheslav Ekimov, a former teammate of Lance Armstrong on the U.S. Postal team, added: We are talking about scandals, the samples which probably belong to cycling, but nobody knows where the samples come from. Mens cycling? Mountain bike? Womens cycling? We dont know. Its just speculation.Since November last year, Zakarin has been tested 12 times out of competition. All these tests have been conducted in European labs, in Paris, Lausanne. ... At Katusha, we perform additional testing, and follow all protocols.Meanwhile,?Fabian Cancellara has withdrawn from the Tour ?to focus on his preparations for the Olympics.AP contributed to this report.

Barcelona hosts third-division side Cartagena in the return leg of their round-of-32 tie after winning their first meeting 4-1. NEWARK, N.J. -- New Jersey is bringing out the best in Taylor Hall, especially when it comes to game-winning goals.Hall scored 29 seconds into overtime and the Devils won for the second time in two home games, rallying to beat the Minnesota Wild 2-1 on Saturday night.The goal-starved Devils have had each of their five games decided by goal, and Hall has been the difference in their two wins. He had both goals in a 2-1 win over Anaheim this week and combined with former junior hockey teammate Adam Henrique for the winner that ended the Wilds three-game winning streak.Its fun to score any time, but certainly at home in overtime on a Saturday night where we have struggled to score, said Hall, who was acquired in a major trade with Edmonton in the offseason.Hall carried the puck into the Wild zone and dropped a pass after crisscrossing with Henrique. He then went to the net and took the return pass and beat Devan Dubnyk between the pads.It was a good play there, Henrique said. It just opened up, a little crisscross, and then they kind of bit, both guys over. Halls was open so I just tried to get the puck to him and he made a great play to end it.Dubnyk, who made 30 saves, said the play seemed to come out of nowhere.They werent flying or anything, he said. Hes (Hall) a dynamic player. I was able to get over there on him. He likes to rip it, but he had his head up and saw that I was on my feet and moving out at him and he snapped it real quick.After being stoned by Dubnyk on their first 26 shots, PA Parenteau tied it with 8:04 left in regulation. The right wing took a cross-ice pass from Mike Cammalleri and beat Dubnyk with a shot from above the right circle for his second goal of the season.Cory Schneider made 28 saves for the Devils.This feels good, but we cant get on a cycle of win one, lose one, win one, lose one, Scchneider said.dddddddddddd We have to try to get a couple going, especially with a few (the next three) at home.Joel Eriksson Ek scored for Minnesota in his NHL debut. After helping force a turnover at the Devils blue line, the 19-year-old Swede -- Minnesotas first-round draft pick in 2015 -- rushed to the net and arrived just in time to poke the rebound of a Jason Zucker shot over Schneider a minute into the second period.It felt like the puck was going in in slow motion, Erikkson Ek said.Dubnyk was the difference for much of the game. He made a pad save on Beau Bennett in the second period while flat on his back.Schneider stopped a breakaway by Eric Staal early in the second period with Minnesota ahead 1-0. The goaltender also stopped Ryan Suter and Zach Parise in close with 1:40 left in regulation.Game notes The Devils dedicated a statue outside Prudential Arena to longtime goaltender Martin Brodeur before the game. ...
