Now in its third year, the Tour de Yorkshire passed through Gomersal yesterday. I was taken aback by the number of people who were out on the streets to watch the cyclists hard at work. We had decided that being on Spen Lane would be a good place to watch as the hill there is […]
I, being a person who understands statistics, would never rule out a victory in a major tournament, but it looks ever less likely. This year marks 50 years since we won the World Cup, for instance. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Bright young stars are always there, and it seems that […]
One radio message sums up this race: “I’ve lost this race, haven’t I?” Those words, spoken by Lewis Hamilton after his team brought his in for fresh tyres towards the end of the race – with 15 laps to go – don’t show the anger and frustration that he did afterwards. This race was undoubtedly […]
