Quintana takes Grueling Stage 17 at Tour de France, Cavs Sign Love to 4-Year Extension Worth $120 Million and Mets' Cespedes Off for 8-10 Months for Heel Surgery

Colombian rider Nairo Quintana took stage 17 of the Tour de France today, his first win of this year's race, according to a report on ESPN. The 65 km stage, ending at Saint-Lary-Soulan, though being the shortest of the Tour so far this century, is very grueling and features three category one climbs. The stage win puts Quintana at number five overall. Still in first place overall is Welsh rider Geraint Thomas, who came in third today.

The Cleveland Cavaliers signed All-Star Kevin Love to a four-year $120 million extension, according to the Associated Press. Love sported a hard hat as he signed the contract in front of dozens of construction workers at the Cavs' Quicken Loans Arena, which is undergoing a $140 million renovation. Love addressed the uncertainties around his status with the team and expressed gratitude for signing the extension.

"I look back, everything happens for a reason," Love said. "My best friend from back home said, 'It always works out.' This is where I wanted to be. I've said that all along. There were some tough times where potentially I would have been traded and my name came up in rumors every few months. But hopefully that ends now."

New York Mets' outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will be out of play for at least 8 to 10 months to undergo surgery on both heels, according to a report on Newsday. The two-time All Star needs the surgery to repair calcification around his Achilles tendons. John Ricco, one of the Mets' three acting general managers, said Cespedes' condition was contributing to other issues as well.

"The concern on our end was not only the pain he was in, but also the fact that it was contributing to him altering his running style and therefore, leading to some of these other leg issues," Ricco said. "And you get to the point where that doesn't make any sense because you're going to stay in that cycle."
