Tour de France

(Preview)
French media and ( significant numbers of ) crowds - BOO to you back ! Put up anything, just anything, with some credibility or shut up. Sky's sheer professionalism ( not meant as any sort of euphemism ) is not a crime. Guess Chris Froome just doesn't ride for such an err renowned team as Astana, the team o...

British Basketball
(Preview)
Just to point out that British club basketball is now the strongest it has ever been. London Lions got to the semi final of the Euro Cup before losing out to a superb Paris basketball side in front of a full house at the copper box. This is the best performance by a British side in European basketball. The e...

Surprised that there isn't a thread for this already. There have been some stand out performances from the Brits in these championships, none more so than KJT finally winning the Heptathlon gold. Delighted for her. Think she took Jess Ennis's points record too ? Or was that just points record fo...

Just wondering if anyone else watched the documentary about Mo Farah this evening. A truly remarkable story about how he was trafficked into the UK as a child, held captive in domestic servitude, forced to use a different name - his real name is Hussein Abdi Kahin - and how he eventually forged a life f...

SkyBet are doing their £10 refunded as cash on the first race tomorr...

Vuelta Espana

Another great grand tour event , Hugh Carthy of Britain won today's stage and is 3rd with a week left. Probably wont win but on the back of Geoghegan Hart winning in Italy, britain still has some talented cyclists in the post Froome and Thomas era.
