Alejandro Valverde wins the men's world road race, a deserved win.

Dramatic race with a near insane last miles climb.  :)

Good to see an old man in the top spot. Can hardly think of a worthier winner.

That was a brutal last climb - 28% at the world championships?  Next year they are going to include a climbing wall so they can outdo that...

Prologue in Copenhagen and a stage from Roskilde - Odense (20 minutes by train). 3rd stage is in southern Jutland which is too far away even for TdF. :P

QuoteParalympics GB stunned after Yokohama hotels demand payment for accessibility
• Paralympics GB team hit with 'huge headache' for training camp
• Senior figure says hotels have shown a 'total lack of interest'

British Paralympic officials say they were left stunned when hotels near their training camp for the 2020 Games demanded they pay to make rooms accessible for wheelchair athletes – and then pay again to convert them back afterwards.

One senior figure said there had been a "total lack of interest" from hotels they had contacted in Yokohama when it came to helping the British Paralympic team, who will make their final preparations in the city ahead of Tokyo 2020. Another source said the issue had been a "huge headache" for more than 18 months.

What has made the issue harder to solve is that it is beyond the remit of the Tokyo 2020 organising committee, which runs the Games. Rather it is down to individual hotels – many of whom do not see the social or economic benefits of providing more accessible rooms.

The Little League World Series is one of the coolest sporting events ever.

Curacao beats Japan to make it to the final.  Things get pretty exciting in the 6th (last) inning.
