Darren Clarke fends off Padraig Harrington after rain delay to win Senior Open at Gleneagles

Could Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) actually win the yellow jersey at a future edition of the Tour de France?

Thirty-three years is a long time without a women’s edition of the Tour de France. It is so long, in fact, that although officially Sunday's run around Paris marked a resumption, a continuation of sorts, it was rightly treated as something entirely new.

Catsburg falters as Ekstom takes late FURIOUS DHL Super Final win
Pool FURIOUS presented a very different DHL Super Final than expected to end the fifth round of the FIA ETCR eTouring Car World Cup, Race IT, in Vallelunga with what looked like being a certain win for Hyundai Motorsport N driver Nicky Catsburg turning into a victory for CUPRA EKS driver Mattias Ekström. It was already a very different and depleted grid after Romeo Ferraris withdrew their cars following Bruno Spengler’s earlier accident in the earlier Pool FAST DHL Super Final meaning Maxime Martin was unable to continue his fine run of form from pole position and Giovanni Venturini would not have the chance to put in a fine performance to end his weekend either.
