Winners and losers from stunning midnight NASCAR Cup race at Atlanta

Race day started just after 7pm, local time, with Ryan Blaney pacing the field from pole position. Then we spent over three hours waiting out the weather mid-race, with Blaney still in control. Finally, just before 2am, Blaney claimed the checkered flag in the marathon race and proceeded to ride his newly won motorcycle around the track.

‘I have haters’: Pogacar brushes off boos after solo burst extends Tour de France lead

Slovenian wins stage 10 on Bastille Day to go further clear
Evenepoel finishes second, 32 seconds behind Slovenian

Tadej Pogacar extended his lead in the Tour de France with another imperious solo victory on the 10th stage to Le Lioran, in the Massif Central. The Slovenian now leads the Tour by more than a three and a half minutes from longtime rival Jonas Vingegaard, who wilted and lost more time to the other podium contenders.

Over a stage with seven categorised climbs, including the first category Puy Mary Pas de Peyrol and Col de Pertus in the final hour of racing, Pogacar again asserted himself over the peloton with a trademark attack on the penultimate climb.

Of all England’s great Black footballers, none has been the defining national figure. Until Jude Bellingham | Calum Jacobs

Bellingham has transcended the hostility he has faced from press and pundits to become the emotional and symbolic focal point of the team

Months before the World Cup, the familiar chorus of antipathy that had followed Jude Bellingham almost since his emergence on the international stage grew louder. A number of writers, pundits and former professionals questioned whether one of England’s most gifted footballers might prove detrimental to the squad’s harmony. The clearest expression of these arguments appeared in a Daily Mail article in November 2025 beneath one of the most ignominious headlines in English footballing history: “Leave Jude at home.”

Amid a wave of criticism directed at Bellingham, Ian Wright felt compelled to defend him on an episode of Stick to Football. Once clipped, his remarks spread rapidly across football’s social media ecosystem and beyond, both because of Wright’s candour, and for placing the hostility directed at Bellingham within a historical tradition of policing Black men’s behaviour. “Someone like Jude, for some reason, frightens these people,” Wright said, before adding: “It’s something you’re taught as a Black man … to keep your head down and be, for want of a better word, a humble fucking slave.”
