Newcastle utility Ben Kantarovski says its an honour to stand on the brink of history with his hometown A-League club.Still just 24 years of age, Kantarovski will equal Tarek Elrichs record of 134 A-League appearances for the Jets if he features in Saturday nights clash with Melbourne Victory.The record will become his alone if hes involved in Sunday weeks home encounter with Sydney FC - and, with so much football still ahead of him, its a record that will likely stand the test of time.A born and bred Novocastrian, Kantarovski said the milestone had crept up on him.To be fair, I didnt know too much about it. I knew Id be close to those appearances but its something you dont really think of - you just want to play every game and you take it week by week, he said on Friday.Thats what Ive been doing for the past few years.To reach this milestone, its a massive honour and to do it for my home club is even bigger.It makes you appreciate who youre playing for.Kantarovski is in his ninth A-League season, having made his debut in the opening round of the 2008-09 campaign in a F3 Derby against Central Coast.He was just 16 years and 208 days old, which made him the youngest A-League player at the time.Its probably one of the only games I remember playing. They tend to all blend together, but that one really sticks out, he said.It wasnt so much a nervous thing; it was just a matter of being able to do a job because I was so young, playing centre-half.I had a solid support network behind me and, in the players out on the field, you had some experience - (Ante Covic) was behind me in goals, Adam Griffiths, (Adam) DApuzzo.The players around me also helped me in a great respect.

Heavy snow fell at the finish as Visconti won in a time of 4 hours, 40 minutes, 52 seconds, beating Carlos Betancur and Przemyslaw Niemiec by 42 seconds. Nibali, who finished third and second in his two previous Giros, maintained his 1:26 lead over Cadel Evans. Saturdays leg was changed because of avalanche threats. Sundays leg was also affected by the sub-zero temperatures, with the final 4.25km up the famous Galibier removed. The stage instead finished at the monument to deceased Italian cyclist Marco Pantani, whose extraordinary climb up the Galibier ultimately enabled him to win the 1998 Tour de France. It was a superb ride from Visconti, who was part of an early move before dropping his fellow escapees on the Col du Telegraphe. The race was neutralized on the category-1 climb up the Col du Mont Cenis and across into France, in what appeared to be a demonstration of solidariity among riders.dddddddddddd Everyone rode at the same pace through the snow-filled landscapes. Pieter Weening broke clear on the descent and built a lead of about three minutes on the peloton, with a chasing group of six riders attempting to bridge the gap. The Dutchman was caught by the chasers and they had an advantage of more than six minutes in approaching the Telegraphe, although the gap had dropped to little more than two minutes at the start of the category-2 climb. Visconti made his move more than 20 kilometres (12.5 miles) from the finish and built a lead of nearly two minutes. That advantage was eroded by Weening, Stefano Pirazzi and Matteo Rabottini as Visconti looked to be struggling at the start of the Galibier. But the 30-year-old Italian dug deep and stretched his lead again. Visconti held on in the final kilometre -- which had a gradient of 11 per cent -- to claim a first Grand Tour stage victory. Monday is a rest day, which will be welcomed after two tough mountain stages in awful conditions. The Giro starts again Tuesday with a hilly 238-kilometre (148-mile) route from Valloire, France, to Ivrea. The race ends May 26 in Brescia. ' ' '
