The seven-time champion was in the run for a podium finish before a wrong strategy call saw him drop all the way down to P6.

Man Utd analysis: Fans draw little comfort from point with 10-man Tottenham on home soil
The international break was supposed to give Michael Carrick time to get his Manchester United troops into gear - but it was more of the same sluggish football at Old Trafford on Saturday.
Roberto De Zerbi’s Tottenham might be in the Premier League relegation zone, but they terrorised the hosts in the first half at Old Trafford - but failed to convert their chances.
Bryan Mbeumo put United in front with a tidy finish on 73 minutes - then Rodrigo Bentancur saw red to give Carrick’s men the perfect platform to bank three precious points.
But Dominic Solanke, who spurned a host of clear-cut chances in the match, finally found the net in stoppage time to send Spurs back to London with a deserved point.
Here, Sports News Blitz’s beleaguered Man Utd writer Robert Bore gives his thoughts on the game, which leaves United in 12th place and Tottenham in 18th with three points from six top-flight matches.

September Call-Ups Impacting the Wild Card Race
Let's be real. The final month of the Major League Baseball regular season is a brutal war of attrition.
Traditional September baseball was defined by a chaotic, bloated 40-man roster expansion - a procedural quirk that turned late-season games into endless, matchup-heavy slogs.
