SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium -- Nico Rosberg beat Red Bulls Max Verstappen to pole position by 0.149s on a weekend where he is looking to capitalise on teammate Lewis Hamiltons grid penalty at the Belgian Grand Prix.Rosberg set the fastest time with a 1:46.744, but the margin to Red Bull and Ferrari was smaller than expected on a day when few drivers improved on their second attempt in Q3. Kimi Raikkonen secured third on the grid for Ferrari, 0.166s off Rosberg, with Sebastian Vettel a further 0.198s off after complaining of a lack of traction out of the final corner.Daniel Ricciardo had to settle for fifth after sailing well wide of the apex on his final attempt and ended up with a 0.323s deficit to teammate Verstappen, who nailed his first attempt in Q3 to the delight of a large crowd of travelling Dutch fans. Force India will line up sixth and seventh ahead of Valtteri Bottas, who was down on power due to an engine software issue in his Williams.Jenson Button qualified eighth in the updated McLaren, proving the progress Honda has made with its engine and turbo updates on a power-sensitive circuit. Felipe Massa rounded out the top ten after suffering from the same software issue as Bottas and locking up into the first corner on his single flying lap in Q3.Rosberg, Raikkonen, Vettel and Ricciardo all set their fastest times in Q2 on the soft compound, meaning they will start on yellow-striped tyres while the rest of the top 10, including Verstappen on the front row, will start on the more delicate super-softs.Romain Grosjean will start 11th on the grid ahead of Kevin Magnussen, who secured Renaults best qualifying position of the season in 12th. Esteban Gutierrez qualified 13th but faces a five-place grid penalty for impeding Pascal Wehrlein in a dangerous manner during final practice. As a result, Jolyon Palmer will be promoted to 13th, his best grid position of the year, Carlos Sainz will start 14th in the Toro Rosso and Wehrlein will move up to 15th in the Manor.Saubers Felipe Nasr missed out on a space in Q2 by 0.048s to Palmer and will start the race ahead of Esteban Ocon, who qualified 18th on his debut and 0.496s off Manor teammate Pascal Wehrlein. Daniil Kvyats run of disappointing qualifying performances continued down in 19th place ahead of Marcus Ericsson, who is due a 10-place grid drop for using his sixth turbocharger of the season this weekend.As expected, Hamilton completed a single lap at a pedestrian pace to ensure he qualified within 107% of the fastest time, as per the regulations, but without burning through any more sets of tyres than necessary.He will be joined on the back row by Fernando Alonso, who has a 35-place grid penalty of his own, but did not set a lap time after exiting the pits and coming to a halt at the top of Eau Rouge. Honda detected an anomaly with his power unit ahead of the session, but believed it was fixed before sending him out on track. Despite failing to set a time within 107%, Alonso is expected to be allowed to start the race based on his previous practice times. Vans Shoes Clearance Sale .

Wholesale Vans Old Skool .Y. -- Knicks coach Mike Woodson said Wednesday that J. LONDON -- More than two months after heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury pulled out of his rematch with former champion Wladimir Klitschko, citing a sprained ankle, the contractually mandated rematch was rescheduled on Wednesday.They will meet again Oct. 29 at the Manchester Arena in Furys hometown of Manchester, England.Im delighted that we can finally get the fight back on and in Manchester on Oct. 29th, Peter Fury, Tysons uncle and trainer, said. After hard discussions, we can now focus on giving the fans what they deserve -- another barnburner of a fight. Team Fury will ensure Tyson is in the shape of his life to successfully retain his world titles.The fight was initially scheduled to take place July 9, also at Manchester Arena, but the 28-year-old Fury withdrew in late June after he said he sprained his ankle during a run and his doctor told him he needed to lay off it for about six weeks.Fury and Klitschko -- who genuinely seem to dislike each other given all the harsh words they have exchanged -- are scheduled to appear to together at a news conference Monday in London.On Nov. 28 in Dusseldorf, Germany, where Klitschko is a major star, Fury (25-0, 18 KOs) pulled one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history. He won a unanimous decision -- 116-111, 115-112, 115-112 -- against Ukraines Klitschko (64-4, 54 KOs) to take his various sanctioning-organization title belts and the lineal world championship, although he was later stripped of one of the belts for accepting the rematch rather than facing a mandatory opponent.Furys unexpected victory -- in a fight that was roundly criticized as dull -- ended Klitschkos 11-year unbeaten run and historic 9?-year title reign, during which he made 18 successful defenses -- the third most in heavyweight history. Klitschko, who turned 40 in March, immediately exercised his right to a rematch and agreed to fight in Furys hometown.Everyone involved has worked tirelessly to get the world heavyweight title rematch between Tyson and Wlaadimir back on and Im thrilled that its now officially confirmed, said Mick Hennessy, Furys promoter.ddddddddddddThis is the rematch that the boxing world has been waiting to see and the anticipation is now at boiling point, so expect a highly charged and explosive fight when the best two heavyweights in the world collide.As Tysons promoter, I have 100 percent confidence that he will retain his titles in front of his fans and make it another memorable night for British boxing to remember.Klitschko and his team grew frustrated in recent weeks by the delay in rescheduling the fight. Klitschko even threatened to sue Fury in an effort to force him to live up to their contract. But now that the rematch is on, all is well.Team Klitschko is very happy that after Furys postponements we finally have a new date, said Bernd Boente, Klitschkos manager. It is great that our event can stay in the Manchester Arena. This is one of the best venues worldwide and has already seen many great fights. We know that Wladimir will be in the best shape on Oct. 29th and we are very confident that he will regain the heavyweight championships.Fury will go into the rematch with questions about possible performance-enhancing drug use hanging over him, although not in regards to the November fight with Klitschko.Fury tested positive for a banned substance in an earlier fight, even though, for reasons that are unclear, the results did not come to light until June, well after he had beaten Klitschko. Fury faces a hearing on Nov. 4 and if he is found guilty he could be banned. Of course, by that time he will have already faced Klitschko in a lucrative rematch.The fight will air on host broadcaster BoxNation in the United Kingdom and is expected to be added to the HBO schedule in the United States. Tickets purchased for the original July 9 date remain valid for the rescheduled bout. ' ' '
