CYCLING
Mark Cavendish claimed his second victory of the
season by putting in a characteristically explosive sprint on stage
two of the Tour de Romandie. The Manxman's form had been called into
question in the weeks leading up to the race, but he answered his
critics in the best possible way by rounding off a dominant
HTC-Columbia lead-out train.
EQUESTRIAN
British eventing chief Yogi Breisner has hailed
William Fox-Pitt's "fantastic" feat of completing a set of
major four-star titles. Fox-Pitt prepared for his assault on
Badminton later this week by landing the Rolex Kentucky crown and
£50,000.He is thought to be the first eventer to win the quartet
of major four-star competitions, having landed five Burghley titles
between 1994 and 2008 while also winning Badminton in 2004 and
Luhmuhlen in Germany two years ago. |
