- MIKKEL JENSEN RETURNS WITH UNITED AUTOSPORTS
Peugeot factory driver Mikkel Jensen returns to the Asian Le Mans Series, racing in LMP2 with United Autosports alongside Italy’s Giorgio Roda and Switzerland’s Gregoire Saucy in the no5 Oreca-Gibson. In 2022 Jensen became the first ever driver in the European Le Mans Series to win a race in all three categories when the Dane won the 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps for Kessel Racing in LMGTE to add to his wins in LMP3 for Eurointernational in 2019 when he won the category title at the end of the season, and a win in LMP2 in the 2020 4 Hours of Portimao. Since 2022 Mikkel Jensen has been part of the Peugeot TotalEnergies Hypercar squad, scoring his first podium in the top category in the 2023 6 Hours of Monza alongside Paul Di Resta and Jean-Eric Vergne. Q: Welcome back to the Asian Le Mans Series. This is your first season with United Autosports. You raced against the team in various championships over the years, what are you looking forward to the most racing with United Autosports? A: “I’m really looking forward to being back in the Asian Le Mans Series. I’ve done it three times before in GT, this time in LMP2 … even faster car, will be more fun! Top class racing and my first championship with United Autosports.” Q: You are racing with Gregoire Saucy and Giorgio Roda. Tell us a bit more about your teammates and have you raced with either of them before? A: “Both teammates are new, so I don’t have experience working with Giorgio or Gregoire just yet. It’s the first time we’re sharing a car, but I know them from around the paddock and I am sure we will get along well.” Q: We are racing in Sepang next month. What are your thoughts on the circuit? A: “I have never been to Sepang, but I heard it’s a very difficult track with high degradation on the tyres. Temperatures and humidity are a big consideration … it’s a proper endurance race, let’s say!” Q: As well as competing in the USA in LMP2, you’ve been racing in Hypercar with Peugeot in the FIA WEC. What are the main differences between an LMP2 and a Hypercar? A: “The biggest difference between the two cars is the weight. The Hypercar is heavier, largely due to its advanced hybrid technology. This makes it tougher on the tyres and demands a smoother, more measured driving style. In contrast, the LMP2 is around 100 kilos lighter, meaning it can be driven more aggressively.” 2025/26 Asian Le Mans Series Provisional Calendar Rd 1 / Rd 2 12-14 Dec 2025 Sepang International Circuit Malaysia Rd 3 / Rd 4 30 Jan-1 Feb 2026 Dubai Autodrome UAE Rd 5 / Rd 6 6-8 Feb 2026 Yas Marina Circuit UAE Information and photo source : THE ASIAN LE MANS SERIES

- USA win double at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup 2025
NOVEMBER 30, 2025 LEÓN (Mexico) - Both men’s and women’s USA teams took home the win at the FIBA 3x3 AmeriCup 2025 on November 30. Both finals ended up being a repeat of last year, the United States taking on Puerto Rico on the men’s side and Canada on the women’s side. It was Deja Vu for the American men who earned back-to-back AmeriCup wins after a 21 - 15 victory over familiar foes. Cameron Forte led the charge in the battle, scoring 8 points through his physicality and paving the way for the result. The win would extend their dominance in the competition, marking a fourth victory in five iterations of the tournament. On the women’s side, Team USA would exact revenge from their 2024 loss to Canada. It was another contested battle, going right down to the wire. The Canadians grinded the game down through their astute defense and physicality, pulling themselves back into a game that seemed to be in the Americans’ control for the most part. Despite tying things up 19 - 19 late on, a foul on Allisha Gray would send her to the line, where she would put things to bed 21 - 19 in favor of Team USA. It would be their third AmeriCup win, surpassing Canada, with whom they were tied at 2 wins each. In the third-place games, Brazil would complete a sweep of their own, both men’s and women’s teams earning Bronze with wins over Canada and the Dominican Republic, respectively. The men earned a 21 - 16 victory off the back of a mammoth performance by Leonardo Branquinho who scored 12 in their winning effort. The women won 21 - 14 against the Dominican Republic, led by a combined 17-point display from Vitória Moura and Gabriela Guimarães. The star of the tournament on the men’s side was the USA debutant Cameron Forte, who proved to be unstoppable all tournament in the Americans’ run in León. He scored a team-high 34 points, including 8 coming in their crucial final against Puerto Rico. He would earn MVP plaudits and would lead the Team of the Tournament alongside Puerto Rico’s Antonio Ralat and Brazil’s Leonardo Branquinho, who were key to their sides earning places on the podium. On the women’s side, 3x3 Olympic gold medalist Allisha Gray came in clutch when it mattered most. While she was a consistent offensive force throughout, her undeniable run in the final against Canada was pivotal. She put up a team-high 9 points and stayed cool under pressure to nail the winning free throws. She took home MVP honors and a spot in the women’s Team of the Tournament alongside Canada’s Katherine Plouffe and Brazil’s Gabriela Guimarães, who led the way for their sides, earning podium places in León, Mexico.
