Tour de France 2026: Stage Four Heat Challenge

Tour de France 2026: Stage Four Heat Challenge

With 174km to go, a breakaway group has formed featuring riders like Jasper Stuyven and Mads Pedersen, while the main peloton continues the chase. The stage began at 12.10pm BST/1.10pm local time under challenging heat conditions, marking a significant departure from previous coverage with no ITV broadcast available this year.

Stage three's report remains available for reference, though post-race analysis on Channel 5 has been criticized as weaker than the former ITV4 coverage, with some viewers noting the absence of the iconic theme tune. saltysenoritaaz.com

England win 2-1 over Mexico in World Cup 2026

England beat Mexico 2-1 in a tense World Cup 2026 group match. The game ended with a last‑minute defensive stand and a controversial sending off.

Shedeur Sanders: I'm not content just being on a team, I'm trying to be one of the greatest

Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders is battling with Deshaun Watson to be the Week One starter, but he says he plans to win a lot more than a training camp competition in his career.

Sanders said on his YouTube channel that his goal is to be among the greatest quarterbacks in football.

"I’m not content just being on no team," Sanders said. "I’m trying to be one of the greatest. You've got to be thankful, but know there’s still more. There's still more.”

Sanders reflected on his rookie year by talking about a Week 17 win over the Steelers in which he felt like, after being a bench warmer for the early part of the season, he accomplished something by the way he kept getting back up.

"We were playing the Steelers. Their linebackers were hitting that game. I'm on the pine the whole year," Sanders said. "You get out there you're like, 'This is something. I could do something like this.'"

Sanders took some criticism in that game for getting up and flexing after a third down run that failed to pick up the first down.

"To me that's an accomplishment," he said. "This dude tried to knock my head off . . . That's the whole thing I'm celebrating. I know it's fourth down, but I just evaded this tackle. I just got away."

Sanders and the Browns didn't have a lot to celebrate last year, but he believes he'll have plenty to celebrate over the course of his career.

Let’s talk about everyone’s favourite subject: England!

What a game that was against Mexico, by the way. I feel asleep about 1am (BST), woke up with England winning 2-1, just before Quansah got sent off and all hell broke loose. England’s defending in the final 20 minutes or so was an absolute work of art (thank you Dan Burn), even if Mexico’s attacking play lacked a certain amount of imagination. A magnificent performance by the players, not to mention Thomas Tuchel, who I feared had gone too early with the: ‘Play a back five, and just hack the ball anywhere’ strategy.

Why Marc Marquez's and Joan Mir's moves to Gresini are two completely different stories Joan Mir will follow the same path Marc Marquez took in 2024 by leaving Honda to join Gresini for the 2027 MotoGP campaign.
