Plus: Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe memories, Nicholas Pooran’s unbelievable fielding and a Leeds v Manchester City belter
1) Leeds face Manchester City in the Premier League on Saturday in the clubs’ first top-flight meeting since 2004. But let’s go back further in time to 1978 and a rip-roaring FA Cup third-round clash, featuring a blatant penalty not being given (when men were men, etc) and Gordon McQueen (Leeds) belting goalkeeper David Harvey (Leeds) in the face. These days, Stockley Park would be going into meltdown at the sight of all that.
2) Cycling is the most beautiful sport in the world, so they tell us. It certainly has a decent backdrop when it takes place somewhere like Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy. There was a perfectly-captured helicopter shot during the World Championships in Imola last Saturday as lone escapee Anna van der Breggen, of the Netherland, was pictured riding to yet another world title.
It's back to TT mode for @AnnavdBreggen as she glides through the beautiful countryside of Emilia-Romagna .
Are we looking at a repeat of Innsbruck 2018 when she won gold from a solo attack?#Imola2020 pic.twitter.com/cYestSsvwr
