From Wales to the Champs-Élysées: the selfless rise of Geraint Thomas | William Fotheringham

The remarkable career of a cycling all-rounder whose innate talent has taken him to Tour de France triumph It is 11 years and one month since a chubby-faced Welsh youth stood on London’s Tower Bridge marvelling, along with a slightly less chubby-faced Manx youth, at the fact that they were both about to make their debuts in the Tour de France. Both Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas were products of the legendary British Cycling academy in Manchester, run by the plain-speaking coach Rod Ellingworth, who moved with Thomas to Team Sky in 2010, where the pair have remained ever since. Thomas’s Tour victory on Sunday marks another high point for Ellingworth’s protégés.

Talking Horses: Restorer primed to land the Cambridgeshire at big odds

The selection for Newmarket’s major betting race has been given a preparation that looks a lot like a build-up to this day

Surely the Cambridgeshire was among the thoughts of Ian Williams and Dr Marwan Koukash when they acquired Restorer (3.40) last November. The grey’s best performance to date was when winning a Listed race over a slightly longer distance on this course at Newmarket, back in 2015.

Having won for them at Chester in May and then failed to cope with a quick return to the track, Restorer has been given a preparation that looks a lot like a build-up to this day. If I’m right about that, he will surely shorten from his present odds of 50-1. Godolphin’s Very Talented would be a more conventional choice and seems likely to fare well.

The Killers at Glastonbury 2019 review – anthemic headliners triumph

Pyramid stage Brandon Flowers and co – with a little help from the Pet Shop Boys, Johnny Marr and the pyrotechnics department – provide one of those special Glastonbury Moments Catch up on Saturday highlights on our liveblog A band that obviously have nothing in common musically with Stormzy, the Killers nevertheless share a problem: before they play, a shadow hangs over their headline performance. One rumour circulating around the audience is that they were the third choice for the Saturday night headlining slot, drafted in after big name heritage artists declined to sign up. Whether that’s true or not, something about Brandon Flowers’ demeanour onstage, at least initially, suggests a man who isn’t entirely sure how things are going to pan out. “At the end of this show, I don’t want anyone to say ‘They got away with it,’” he offers, early on in the band’s set. “I want people to look up to this stage and say: ‘Those are the sons of bitches that did it.’” Certainly, you’re stuck by...
