Vingegaard retains Tour de France lead as Canada’s Houle rules stage 16
FOIX, France: Canadian rider Hugo Houle broke down in tears after winning stage 16 of the Tour de France on Tuesday, dedicating his first professional triumph to his late brother. Jonas Vingegaard of Jumbo retained the overall lead from defending champion Tadej Pogacar and Geraint Thomas of Ineos as the Tour entered the Pyrenees. But the day belonged to 31-year-old Houle, riding for the Israel-Premier Tech team, as the rider from Quebec triumphed in the sweltering heatwave which has swept France. “It sounds incredible, but I know my brother helped me,” said an emotional Houle of his younger sibling Pierrik who was killed by a hit-and-run driver a decade ago. “He went to run in the snow and was hit and left dead by the roadside. It took me three hours to find him. “It was my dream to win a stage of the Tour de France since he left us,” added Houle who had started competing in triathlon with his brother before devoting himself to cycling.

Bayern Munich confirm signing of 22-year-old defender Matthijs de Ligt from Juventus in a deal worth £68m
Matthijs de Ligt's £68m move to Bayern Munich has been confirmed by the club. With the Bavarians selling Niklas Sule and David Alaba in the last year, their defensive stocks had become depleted — but the Dutchman's arrival from Juventus goes some way to addressing that issue. Ad/> De Ligt has long been considered one of Europe's most promising young centre-backs, but at 22 years old and after three seasons in Serie A, he hasn't quite kicked on in the manner some had expected he would following his big-money move to Turin in 2019.
