It's not just about

Sometimes other things are to blame for having to reschedule. The route of the Tour de France currently has to be rescheduled due to an outbreak of contagious cattle disease. The Albertville - La Plage stage has been shortened to 95 kilometres, making it easier for the riders by eliminating the climb up the Col des Saisies.

We can learn from Russia that, as a result of Putin's war of aggression and dream of a giant empire, the number of soldiers recruited this year will allegedly increase further, which could lead to major supply problems as there is still a shortage of personnel. But the North Koreans and certainly also the Chinese are providing support there.

The Volkswagen Group has learnt that it has had to cope with a significant drop in profits. There are various reasons for this, one of which is of course the high US import tariffs, which have caused profits to plummet, and in China the sales figures are worse, but there are also declining sales at Group brands such as Porsche and Audi, which are squeezing margins. Although deliveries increased slightly, sales fell by around three per cent in quarter 2.

We wish you all the best for the weekend, enjoy the time off to relax before the alarm clock calls you back to work on Monday.
