MONACO—Usain Bolt warmed up for the world championships by winning his last Diamond League race, while Canadian rival Andre De Grasse was disqualified from his event. Bolt, the reigning Olympic and world champion, won the 100 metres at the Herculis track meet Friday, holding off American Isiah Young to win in 9.95 seconds, his best time this year. Bolt won at the Golden Spike meet in Ostrava, Czech Republic, last month in 10.06 seconds after a slow start. “Everything is coming together.”De Grasse was entered in the 4x100 in his final warmup for the worlds in London next month, and didn’t post a time. The Canadian team — De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, and Gavin Smellie — was disqualified for a bad baton exchange between Rodney and De Grasse, the anchor runner.
