Paris – September 09, 2026 -- French enduro champion Mathias Bellino is opening a new chapter in his off-road career with support from Segway Powersports, which has provided him with a Super Villain SX20T side-by-side vehicle.

Bellino built a decorated career before a 2018 crash ended professional racing

Bellino won the Enduro Junior World Championship in 2012 and the Enduro E3 World Championship in 2015. He was also part of French teams that won the ISDE Junior World Trophy three consecutive years, from 2011 to 2013. Raised in a family passionate about motorcycles, he started riding at age four before moving through motocross into elite enduro competition.

In August 2018, during his first cross-country rally, the Desafío Ruta 40 in Argentina, Bellino crashed and suffered severe spinal injuries while working toward his goal of competing in the Rallye Dakar. The accident ended his career as a professional racer.

CLAYTON, N.Y. -- September 01, 2026 -- Evan Kung, a Canadian pro fighting to keep his roster spot on the Bassmaster Elite Series, won the 2026 Lowrance Bassmaster Elite at St. Lawrence River on Aug. 30 with a four-day total of 109 pounds, 9 ounces. The catch set a new Bassmaster record for the heaviest winning weight made up entirely of smallmouth bass. The win also locked in Kung's berth at the 2027 Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Classic presented by Under Armour, set for next March.

Kung's total overtook the previous mark of 105 pounds, set by Patrick Walters at the same river in 2023, and made him a first-time member of the Bassmaster Century Club. "This is by far my biggest win," Kung said. "It was a tough year for me, so it was great to end it like this. I couldn't think of a better ending."

The weekend spanned the racetrack at Miami Gardens and the streets of Wynwood, with city-wide fan activations, partner events, and premium hospitality at Turn 1 running from April 30 through May 3.

The campaign, which debuted April 24 across television, digital, and social platforms, introduces the third generation of one of Audi's longest-running and best-selling models — a compact premium SUV that arrives with expanded standard equipment, a higher-output powertrain, and what Audi claims is best-in-class 0-60 acceleration against key segment rivals including the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA, Volvo XC40, Lexus UX, and Acura ADX. The Q3 is on sale now.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – July 19, 2026 – The 2027 Kia Telluride X-Pro has been named the Best Winter Family Utility Vehicle of New England by the New England Motor Press Association (NEMPA), adding another industry award to what has already been a record-breaking run for Kia's flagship three-row SUV. The recognition comes from NEMPA's annual Winter Vehicle Awards program, which evaluates vehicles against the specific demands of New England driving — heavy snowfall, icy roads, and varied terrain across Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. For families in the Northeast shopping a three-row SUV, it's a meaningful endorsement from journalists who test in those exact conditions year-round.
