Geraint Thomas' Olympic career is over after he missed out on selection for a fifth Games. The Welshman won gold medals in the team pursuit on the track in Beijing and London, before riding on the roads in Rio and Tokyo.

RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: 'Let me tell you something,' I tell you.' Hope is a dangerous thing. A man can fly to a place of terror by hope.' Red to Andy, Shawshank Redemption What hope is there for Manchester United?How many more yards of foulness and sewer must they crawl through before they emerge from the other end of the pipe?Or to put it another way: is Sir Jim Ratcliffe their rock hammer? He's certainly the best man for this metaphor - he's got his way into rock better than most. Fracking is his game. He fraught his way to a fracking career, but United, a club imprisoned by their history and sealed in on both directions by the impenetration of their presenters. But this is just a prediction of the future. What comes next and whether Ratcliffe is the man to bust them loose, we'll find out shortly.

After another mass crash marred the 15th stage on Sunday, Tour de France overall leader Jonas Vingegaard (pictured) is urging fans to act more respectfully at cycling's biggest race. 'I'd like to tell the fans that they should enjoy the sport and be able to applaud with us without standing on the road or pouring beers on us,' Vingegaard said. 'Please, just enjoy the race.' With the race coming up to its final week, the Danish rider leads Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia by only ten seconds. The incident, which involved about two dozen riders, resulted in appeals from several teams on the Tour.

At stage 15 of the Tour de France, a fan trying to snap a picture with the riders resulted in a significant crash. The fan pulled his arm out while photographing a photo, but Jumbo-Visma rider Sepp Kuss collected it later. Kuss then collapsed at the front of the peloton, resulting in a massive pile-up.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his company Ineos threw their hat into the competition to bid for Manchester United on Tuesday evening, sparking a general feeling of excitement among Red Devils supporters. Ratcliffe is expected to face rivalry from the United States, Asia, and the Middle East after the Glazer family announced their willingness to leave United after 17 years in office at Old Trafford, but he is the first bidder to expressly declare his interest in the club. Given that the 70-year-old is worth an estimated £13.3 billion and is regarded as Britain's richest man and a fan of the club, the positive reaction from United fans was understandable.
