Sir Bradley Wiggins believes Ineos Grenadiers should throw their full support behind Geraint Thomas at the Tour de France , though conceded it is unlikely his former team-mate can win a second yellow jersey. Thomas, who won the Tour in 2018, was named in the British squad's eight-man team on Tuesday, and will share leadership duties with Daniel Martínez of Colombia and Bury-born Adam Yates. Wiggins, however, insists the Welshman deserves to be the team's outright leader at the Tour, which starts in Denmark on July 1 . In the absence of an obvious challenger to defending champion Tadej Pogacar and his Slovenian compatriot Primoz Roglic, who will arrive in Copenhagen in fine form having won this month's Critérium du Dauphiné , Ineos Grenadiers will start the race with multiple leaders. “In Adam, Dani and Geraint we have three fantastic GC [general classification] heavyweights who can mount a real challenge. They have proved their form across the season and are lining up … [Read more...] about Sir Bradley Wiggins: Ineos Grenadiers must back ‘leader’ Geraint Thomas at Tour de France

The fact that Geraint Thomas is fourth favourite with the bookies to win the 109th Tour de France, which begins in Copenhagen on Friday - behind only Slovenians Tadej Pogacar and Primoz Roglic, and last year’s runner-up Jonas Vingegaard - is, frankly, pretty extraordinary when you consider where the Welshman was six months ago. Crashes at last year’s Tour de France and then, in quick succession, the Tokyo Olympics, derailed Thomas’ 2021 season. Heading into the winter, the 36 year-old was struggling both mentally and physically. Negotiations with Ineos Grenadiers over a new contract were dragging, his shoulder needed surgery. And then he got Covid at Christmas. “It was definitely the hardest time of my career looking back,” says Thomas, speaking from his hotel room after his final pre-Tour training ride on Thursday. “It was just one thing after the other. Obviously the summer was hard. I committed so much to last year’s Tour, spent so much time away from Sa and Macs [wife Sara … [Read more...] about Geraint Thomas interview: ‘I just thought why me, what have I done to deserve this?’

Critics and experts have banded together to snub Meghan Markle’s bullying probe for being ‘senseless’. The clap back has been issued by a source close to The Telegraph. They went as far as to accuse the entire investigation of being ‘senseless’ and ‘of no use’. Others were ‘boiling’ with rage over why the results have been buried.

Mario Gotze had the fortune to play under three of the the best managers in world football during his time with both Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich - but he thinks one stands above the rest.

At Bayern he made 114 appearances under Pep Guardiola where he would win three consecutive league titles and three domestic cups - then rejoining Dortmund where he briefly played under Thomas Tuchel .

Strong speculation that Donald Trump may be on the verge of confirming his intentions to run again in 2024 is raising questions as to whether it is still too early for him to declare. The former president is reported to be desperate to divert attention away from the damning January 6 hearing by announcing he will be vying for the White House for the third time. The speculation increased in the wake of the damning June 28 testimony of former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who said Trump was aware that his supporters were armed on January 6 but he still ordered them to the Capitol, and that he tried to grab the steering wheel of the presidential SUV as he was so desperate to join the riot as it was unfolding. Trump may also be wanting to take the increasing limelight from Ron DeSantis with an announcement, as polls, bookmakers and donors increasingly believe the Florida governor is the person who should lead the GOP into 2024. While reports Trump wants to be president … [Read more...] about Donald Trump might announce 2024 run much earlier than he would like
