[2021年3月3日，香港] 香港欖球總會(欖總)今日宣佈前香港隊教練、教練培訓經理及現任總經理(欖球營運)利鍾斯，將離任並獲李斯特猛虎隊(Leicester Tigers)聘為欖球總經理。 利鍾斯於2010年加入欖總，期間曾於2014年加入日本國家隊教練團，與時任主教練艾迪鍾斯(Eddie Jones) 和助教博域(Steve Borthwick) 齊心協力在「2015年世界盃」擊敗南非，創出史上最爆冷的賽果之一。 他離開日本隊教練團後重返欖總掌管高水平欖球項目，包括管理「精英十五人欖球項目」及向多位本地合資格教練分享培訓心得。 這名前威爾斯國家隊、威爾斯國家A隊和Newport Gwent龍隊(Newport Gwent Dragons)教練一直是港隊世界排名前24位之內的砥柱，港隊亞洲排名第二僅次於日本，亦是亞洲衛冕冠軍，而女子十五人隊正力爭連續第二次晉身「世界盃」決賽週 (賽事今年將於新西蘭舉行)。 在2018年從利氏手中接過港隊帥印的賀爾(Andrew Hall)將繼續帶領港隊征戰今年6月的「亞洲欖球錦標賽」。 利鍾斯說:「我非常感恩在欖總渡過的時光。我一直認為欖總對員工照料有嘉、為年輕員工提供機會和擁有罕見的行政人才。」 「我真誠地相信欖總將繼續是國際欖球壇發展最好的總會之一，並會向其他欖球專才推祟香港欖球經驗。」 「個人而言能夠擔任李斯特猛虎隊欖球總經理的機會彌足珍貴，亦令我十分難以婉拒。我十分願意接受這挑戰，並十分感謝現役和退役球員們、欖總董事會成員和欖總職員的鼓勵。」 「過去幾年我一直專注於總會行政工作，我相信已建立的平台將繼續發揮作用。在優秀教練們如賀爾和夏文的領導下，港隊將繼續獲妥善照顧和球員的過渡影響將十分輕微。」 欖總行政總裁麥偉彬(Robbie McRobbie)說:「利鍾斯服務欖總多年，協助高水平欖球部和會內引入最高標準。」「多個機構被他幾十年的豐富經驗所吸引不足為奇。大家都會懷念他和祝他前程錦繡。」 利鍾斯將於今年5月離任。 Information and photo source : Elite Step Asia / HKRU

SEASON 7 PREVIEW: ABB FIA FORMULA E WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GOES GREEN IN DIRIYAH ON FEBRUARY 26 & 27 - All you need to know as Season 7 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship sparks into life on February 26 & 27 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia - Double-header marks two Formula E milestones, kicking off the inaugural season as an FIA World Championship and hosting the first ever night races - Find out where to watch Diriyah, Saudi Arabia (February 25, 2021) - Formula E is set to return this Friday, February 26 in Diriyah, with the opening two rounds of Season 7 marking the series’ first event as an FIA World Championship. Becoming only the second single-seater championship to gain FIA World Championship status is a true honour for the sport and carries enormous significance for the teams, manufacturers and drivers battling it out to be crowned the first official Formula E World Champions. Season 7 fast facts The new season brings with it new faces, updates to the regulations and more ways to get involved than ever before. Three rookies join the grid for the 2020/21 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship - Jake Dennis (BMW i Andretti Motorsport), Nick Cassidy (Envision Virgin Racing) and Norman Nato (ROKiT Venturi Racing). After both getting a taste of Formula E in Berlin during the Season 6 finale, Sérgio Sette Câmara (DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT) and reigning DTM Champion, René Rast (Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler), start their first full season in Formula E. Formula E is a truly international affair with nine countries represented on the grid. However one nation has a record number of home-grown talent battling for bragging rights this season. Jake Dennis, Sam Bird (Jaguar Racing), Alex Lynn and Alexander Sims (Mahindra Racing), Oliver Turvey and Tom Blomqvist (NIO 333) and Oliver Rowland (Nissan e.dams) make up the British magnificent seven. The battle for top spot is closer than ever. DS TECHEETAH will have their sights set on getting their name into the record books with three consecutive team and driver championship titles. António Félix da Costa won the Season 6 title by the biggest margin in Formula E history, with 71 points separating him and second-placed Stoffel Vandoorne (Mercedes-EQ). However, at pre-season testing in Valencia, it was Maximilian Günther (BMW i Andretti Motorsport) who set the early pace, topping the timesheets for a second season in succession. To support teams during the global health crisis, Formula E and the FIA decided to extend the next homologation period, with manufacturers only able to alter powertrain components once over the next two seasons. Teams can either introduce a new car in Season 7, for a two-year cycle, or continue to use existing technology before homologating a new car the year after for a single season. Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler and customer team Envision Virgin Racing, BMW i Andretti Motorsport, Jaguar Racing, Mahindra Racing, Mercedes-EQ, alongside customers ROKiT Venturi Racing, NIO 333 and TAG Heuer Porsche all opted for new machines for the season ahead. DRAGON / PENSKE AUTOSPORT, DS TECHEETAH and Nissan e.dams have chosen to delay their homologation and will be using their Season 6 package for at least the opening rounds. Also new for this season, the tyre allocation will be reduced by 25 per cent per single-race competition and by up to 50 per cent at double-header events. Based on the Season 5 calendar and comparing to the previous allocation, this could potentially see a saving of 720 tyres with 50 t CO2-eq less emissions produced, which is a 29 per cent reduction in the overall impact of the tyres. Diriyah E-Prix The Riyadh Street Circuit will once again provide the spectacular backdrop to the opening events of the season and break new ground as Formula E hosts its first night races. The fast and flowing 2.49km clockwise circuit flanks the stunning At-Turaif UNESCO World Heritage Site and will remain largely the same this season. Track surface work has led to the reprofiling of Turn 9, 12/13, 14 and 18 for slightly adapted racing lines that promote closer racing. Last season, it was Sam Bird, who battled up the order from fifth on the grid for Envision Virgin Racing to seal victory in the season opening race. The following day, Alexander Sims (BMW i Andretti Motorsport) won after starting from Julius Baer Pole Position and securing his maiden victory in Formula E. António Félix da Costa holds the fastest race lap around the circuit, with 1:12.481s set in Round 2 last season. From Season 7, Formula E Founding Partner TAG Heuer will continue to use its expertise as Official Timekeeper of the Championship and bring the partnership to life by awarding the TAG Heuer Fastest Lap in each E-Prix, which rewards the driver who sets it - and finishes within the top 10 - an extra championship point. From Season 7, fans can get involved too as the TAG Heuer Fastest Lap becomes part of the Formula E Predictor game. Formula E’s Open Talent Call for Presenters winner - 21-year-old Derin Adetosoye - will make history as the first black female presenter for an international motorsport rights holder in Diriyah. On site she will be covering all the behind the scenes action, connecting with a new, younger audience across Formula E’s digital channels. Lighting Formula E’s first ever night races Hosting Formula E’s first ever night races have been the culmination of many months of planning, working with the Kingdom’s Ministry of Sport (MOS) to create a sustainable night race. The track will be lit by the latest low-power LED technology that reduces energy consumption by up to 50 per cent compared to non-LED technology. A team has been on-site since December installing some 600 LED floodlights around the circuit, each using 1.5kW of energy - half the power used by traditional metal halide units and can be instantly switched on and off.

THE DUEL IN THE DESERT: 2021 DIRIYAH E-PRIX PREVIEW ROKiT Venturi Racing looks ahead to the 2021 Diriyah E-Prix IN NUMBERS Riyadh Street Circuit Length // 2/495-kilometers Corners // 21 Best Finish // P4 [Edoardo Mortara, 2019] Lap Record // 1:12.481 [Antonio Felix da Costa, 2019] THE CITY The Diriyah E-Prix has been a regular feature on the Formula E calendar since 2018, however, the history of this former Saudi capital stretches back much further than the past three years. Located North-West of Riyadh, Diriyah was founded in the 15th century and with a distinctive palace-decorated landscape, it is one of the most iconic locations in Formula E. In 2010, the town’s Turaif district was declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and this global recognition for its cultural value makes Diriyah one of the most unique temporary racing circuits in the world. With the countdown to Season 7 continuing, Diriyah will again act as the backdrop for a historic moment for Formula E as the series races at night and as a World Championship for the very first time. THE TRACK Since Season 5, the Riyadh Street Circuit has earned a reputation as being one of the most technical circuits in Formula E, and with 21 challenging corners, it’s easy to understand why this is the case. Spanning 2.495-kilometers, the track takes drivers on an undulating journey that features high-speed corners and a continual downhill descent from Turns 5-13 – a sequence that demands complete precision and focus. 597 low-consumption LED lights will illuminate the path ahead on Friday and Saturday where ROKiT Venturi Racing will contest the opening two races of the 2020/21 season. IN THEIR WORDS Susie Wolff, ROKiT Venturi Racing Team Principal "It’s great to finally be back at a race track and we’re looking forward to getting Season 7 under way. The Formula E management team and the organising entities in Saudi Arabia have done a fantastic job preparing for the opening races and I know we’re all very keen to get back out on track and hopefully deliver some exciting racing. “With regards to our hopes for this season, really, there’s only so much that we can learn from three days of pre-season testing in Valencia. The real test will come when we’re getting down to business under the lights of the Diriyah street circuit - only then will we see what we can expect in terms of performance this season. Whilst last season wasn’t what we had hoped for in terms of results, we have proven as a team that we can win so with a new driver pairing and our strong powertrain partnership with Mercedes-Benz, we have every reason to feel optimistic. “We’ve prepared well for the season ahead, in Formula E there are so many small details that need to be perfect before you can extract the performance needed to be at the front but we know what it takes to be on the podium. Focus and attention to the smallest of details is critical. We are coming into the first race weekend strong and, as with every race, the focus is on clean races with minimal mistakes with both cars finishing in the points. We’ll soon see what we’re capable of delivering this year." Jerome D'Ambrosio, ROKiT Venturi Racing Deputy Team Principal “Since Formula E’s inception, we have talked about how close the championship is and in the third year of the same generation of cars, I don’t think Season 7 will be any different. If anything, you can expect it to be closer than ever before. There were some good points for the team last season but obviously, we had a difficult Berlin. We’ve worked very hard since then and our goal is to be in the top six in the championship in Season 7. “We have a good car, we have a good driver lineup, and we had a promising test in Valencia but despite that, there are still a lot of unknowns surrounding the first race. We want to be fighting at the front and challenging for podiums and I can’t see any reason why we wouldn’t be able to do that. We have a passion for the sport, we love the competition and we want to do the very best that we can. It’s our mission to succeed and we want to fight at the front. That’s always the goal and we want to try and make it happen in Diriyah.” Edoardo Mortara “I’m looking forward to getting Season 7 underway and it’s great to be back at a race track. I think we have a better car this season and we have been working very hard to resolve the issues we faced last year. Early indications show that our pace is better, but it’s always difficult to know how the other teams will perform, especially in a tight and challenging championship like Formula E. There are a lot of unknowns at this stage. “Having a good start to the season will be crucial and I think a good set of results in Diriyah will act as a nice boost for us as a team. I want to do much better than we have in previous years and my target is to be fighting for the higher positions on the grid. Last season, we were fighting for the lower places in the championship but I would like us to be one of the top six teams this season. On a personal level though, I want to improve my results as a whole. “The past two seasons have been very consistent but this year, I would like to regularly challenge for podiums and wins if possible. I want to finish inside the top 10 in the Drivers’ Championship at the very least. At this early stage, we know that the competition will be fierce and it’s really up to us as a team to make the best of what we have. We need to go for it this season – it’s as simple as that.” Norman Nato “I’ve been waiting for this moment for a very long time and this coming week in Diriyah is very special for me. I can’t wait to contest my first-ever race in Formula E. We have worked very hard over the winter and we feel ready for the first race of the season. The opening round is always important – it’s our first chance to show what we can deliver in terms of performance and that’s very important for confidence. This is a historic moment in what is a new era for Formula E and we can’t wait to go racing again. We feel ready and we will push hard and do our very best as always.” Information and photo source : ROKiT Venturi Racing

2021年2月18日 區天駿期望以更好成績完成自己首個國際耐力賽車錦標賽 希望以前兩站比賽所得的經驗，在本周末阿布扎比站煞科戰取得佳績 香港車手區天駿（Antares）將會在本週末出戰於阿布扎比亞斯碼頭賽道（Yas Marina Circuit）舉行的2021亞洲利曼系列賽（Asian Le Mans Series）最後兩回合的比賽。今次是區天駿首次參與東亞地區以外的耐力賽事。他將會和兩位隊友Klaus Bachler和Stefan Görig，合作駕駛93號Herberth Motorsport保時捷911 GT3 R賽車，參加本周末兩場分別4小時的比賽。區天駿今次在阿聯酋參加比賽，目的是要爭取更多參賽時間，吸收比賽經驗。 這次是區天駿首度參加全季的耐力賽車錦標賽，得以與一眾世界級GT車手同場較量。賽事的GT組別共有19部賽車角逐，競爭激烈。賽季至今，這名港將在前兩個回合都有不俗表現。其中在杜拜舉行的第一回合賽事，他更有機會可以取得好成績。但在一次全場黃旗時段，Antares被從後追撞，導致尾輪爆胎，需要進入維修站換胎。93號賽車雖然仍能繼續比賽，但已損失不少時間。最終以組別第14名完成。 今次的系列賽採用獨有的一周雙賽，令車隊有機會在次日舉行第二回合中重振聲威。車隊在起跑階段表現不錯，一直留守前10名。期間車隊採取較進取的停站策略，希望扭轉乾坤，取得更好成績。可惜策略未能湊效。但車隊仍然憑藉區天駿的穩定發揮，取得組別的第9名，為車隊帶來今屆賽事的首個積分。 在完成杜拜站的兩回合比賽後，本週末2021亞洲利曼系列賽的煞科戰，將會移師到阿布扎比F1賽道——亞斯碼頭賽道上進行兩回合，分別各長4小時的耐力賽。這條賽道的特色是擁有非常長的直路，亦有不少重剎急彎。賽車的抓地性能以及剎車表現，將會是比賽的勝負關鍵。區天駿將會以近期與車隊合作所累積的經驗，應用到最後的兩回合比賽上，務求將保時捷911 GT3 R賽車的潛能盡力發揮。93號Herberth Motorsport的車手團隊一直合作無間，加上車隊的實力和經驗，勢必在今個星期的煞科戰中取得佳績。 賽事時間表 2021年2月18日 | 星期四 1430-1600 | 自由練習 1 1830-2000 | 自由練習 2 2021年2月19日 | 星期五 0940-0955 | 排位賽 (第3回合) 1125-1140 | 排位賽 (第4回合) 1600-2000 | 阿布扎比4小時耐力賽 (第3回合) 2021年2月20日 | 星期六 1610-2010 | 阿布扎比4小時耐力賽 (第4回合) 車手的話 區天駿 | 93號Herberth Motorsport 保時捷911 GT3 R車手 「在杜拜站的兩個回合揭幕戰，我們有個不錯的開始，亦累積了好些經驗去面對這些一流的GT車隊及車手。我很期待阿布扎比站的煞科戰，我曾到過那裡比賽，所以對賽道有一定認識。亞斯碼頭賽道是一條有要求的賽道，它的佈局更像是一條街賽道，當中在最後的路段更包含很多急彎，所以最重要的是避免出錯。成績當然重要，但我會專注於自己的駕駛和速度發揮，因為我的角色最重要是在兩個回合中，都能有又快又穩定的表現。Herberth Motorsport的另一部賽車上站兩個回合中，曾分別勝出當中的一個回合和取得第4名的佳績，所以我們也是有機會爭勝的。Klaus和Stefan都是很好的隊友，我們都已充滿動力，希望能以好成績完成賽季。」 資料及相片來源 : CBR Media

【香港，2021年2月17日】 傑志今日宣佈，球會已經簽下兩位經驗豐富的後防球員羅拔圖 （Roberto Orlando Affonso Júnior）和謝家強（Sean Tse Ka Keung）。 羅拔圖原籍巴西，於2007年來港，曾效力晨曦、東方龍獅及富力R&F，可出任中堅及防守中場，他於2016年3月取得香港特別行政區護照，正式入籍香港，至今已代表香港隊上陣22場入1球。 謝家強出身自曼城青年軍，可司職中場及中堅，他在2012年從英國來港，在港分別效力過南華、和富大埔及富力R&F三間球會。這位28歲球員已於2020年初申請特區護照。 羅拔圖和謝家強上季同樣效力富力R&F，富力去年10月宣布退出港超後，羅拔圖一直留在香港，他正在接受7天家居隔離，稍後通過新冠病毒檢測後便可歸隊。而謝家強則需於抵港後按例隔離21日，完成隔離後要再作檢測，呈陰性始能歸隊。 傑志足球總監朱志光透露，球隊在中堅李毅凱離隊後，現有兵源並不足夠應付亞冠盃及本地比賽兩條戰線，相信兩位經驗豐富的後防球員能填補球隊空缺。 資料及相片來源 : 傑志(體育管理)有限公司

A three-car battle for podium positions broke out, with Arjun Maini capitalising on in the #64 Racing Team India Oreca 07 Gibson to move into second, and then first before a pit stop gave the race back to the Russian-flagged outfit. With a strong lead, not even a stop and go penalty could prevent the trio taking victory ahead of the #25 G-Drive Racing Aurus 01 Gibson of John Falb Franco Colapinto and Rui Pinto de Andrade and Matthias Kaiser Simon Trummer and Nicki Thiim in the #5 Phoenix Racing Oreca 07 Gibson. Saturday’s LMP2 Am Class winners, #18 Era Motorsport Oreca 07 Gibson, struggled early after a lock up and an unplanned visit to the pits, but Andreas Laskaratos, Kyle Tilley and Dwight Merriman overcame a tough day to keep control of LMP2 Am from #11 Eurointernational Ligier JS P217 Gibson of Neale Muston and John Corbett. The dominance of #23 United Autosports Ligier JS P320 Nissan of Rory Penttinen, Wayne Boyd and Manuel Maldonado in LMP3 continued. The team made it two wins from two races. A final lap issue for #63 DKR Engineering Duqueine M30-D08 Nissan of Jean Glorieux and Laurents Hörr saw them drop from second to fourth, giving the position to Ian Loggie, Robert Wheldon, and Andrew Meyrick in #2 United Autosports Ligier JS P320 Nissan. The #8 Nielsen Racing Ligier JS P320 Nissan of Rodrigo Sales and Matthew Bell rounded out the podium positions. It was a day to forget for #4 Phoenix Racing Ligier JS P320 Nissan of Jan-Erik Slooten, Leo Weiss and Vincent Kolbafter a multicar incident ended their day and caused a full course yellow. Pain also for the #9 Nielsen Racing Ligier JS P320 Nissan which suffered a failed suspension in the last hour of the race. In GT, battles broke out early for the minor podium positions before the tensions spiked. The #97 Oman Racing by TF was penalised after contact with yesterday’s class winner, #99 Precote Herberth Motorsport, before an incident between #60 Formula Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 and #34 Walkenhorst Motorsport BMW M6 GT3. This prompted a full course yellow to collect the stranded BMW, with the #60 given a drive-through penalty for causing the incident. Redemption came for #40 GPX Racing Porsche 911 GT3 R of Julien Andlauer, Axcil Jefferies and Alain Ferté with victory in GT after a dominant performance in Race 1 saw them finish fourth following a late-race spin and post-race time penalty. Nothing was able to stop the Dubai-based team taking the class win at their home event today ahead of #55 Rinaldi Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 of Rino Mastronardi, David Perel and Davide Rigon. Alexander West, Maxime Martin and Valentin Hasse-Clot in the #88 Garage 59 Aston Martin Vantage AMR GT3 finished third. Control of GT Am by the #66 Rinaldi Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 of Christian Hook, Manuel Lauck and Patrick Kujala continued as the team became double winners in Class. The #27 Kessel Racing Ferrari 488 GT3 of Giorgio Roda, Francesco Zollo and Tim Kohmann finished second ahead of Henry Walkenhorst, Jorg Breuer and Sami Matti Trogen in the #35 Walkenhorst Motorsport BMW M6 GT3.
