Egan Bernal wins Tour de France 2019

Egan Bernal became the youngest rider in 110 years to win the Tour de France after Caleb Ewan won the traditional sprint finish in Paris. With the race leader not challenged on the final stage, 22-year-old Bernal became the first Colombian winner.

He crossed the line in the peloton, hand-in-hand with his Ineos team-mate and last year's winner Geraint Thomas, who finished second this time. Thomas led Bernal for much of the race but his team-mate was stronger in the final week in the Alps, and ended up winning by one minute 11 seconds, with Dutch rider Steven Kruijswijk 20 seconds further adrift in third.

Bernal's victory is the seventh in eight years for a British-based team, after Ineos took over the ownership of the Team Sky squad earlier this year. Bradley Wiggins became the first British winner of the race in 2012, with Chris Froome triumphing in 2013 and then claiming three in succession from 2015 before Thomas took last year's title. Bernal is just the third Colombian to win one of cycling's three Grand Tours. Nairo Quintana won the 2014 Giro d'Italia and 2016 Vuelta a Espana, while Luis Herera won the Vuelta in 1987.

For Alaphilippe, who finished fifth overall, there was the consolation of being named the race's most combative rider, while his compatriot Romain Bardet claimed the polka dot King of the Mountains jersey. Slovakia's three-time world champion Peter Sagan won the green points jersey for a record seventh time.

Bernal is the third youngest winner of the Tour. The youngest is France's Henri Cornet, who was 19 when he was controversially awarded victory in the second edition of the race in 1904, while Luxembourg's Francois Faber was a few days younger than Bernal when he took the 1909 title.

F1 2019: Max Verstappen wins German Grand Prix

Hockenheim delivered an absolutely superb race in 2018 – but it was nothing compared to the absolute humdinger the iconic German track produced this weekend. And it was the large contingent of traveling Dutch fans that left the happiest as Max Verstappen mastered the rainy conditions to clinch victory on a day when many of the other big guns quite literally hit trouble.

But Verstappen's victory was just one storyline in what will be remembered as an all-time classic Grand Prix. Behind the Red Bull driver, Sebastian Vettel completed a sensational comeback from 20th on the grid to second, while Daniil Kvyat was a surprise third as Toro Rosso scored just their second-ever podium. Runaway championship leaders Mercedes, meanwhile, suffered a nightmare in their 200th race, with Bottas crashing out and polesitter Lewis Hamilton having multiple offs on his way to P11.

Starting second, Verstappen and Red Bull mastered the strategy, taking a gamble to switch to mediums first, then realizing their mistake and diving back into the pits. The Dutchman pitted five times in total, but made the right calls at the right time to emerge at the head of the field.

Vettel crossed the line second, the German making up seven places in the last 15 laps to cap a marvelous comeback, after starting dead last having not set a time in qualifying. And he would be joined on the podium by a tearful Daniil Kvyat, the Russian securing a shock podium for Toro Rosso after the Italian team pitted him for fresh boots at the perfect time.

Lance Stroll briefly led the race in the final stint, after Racing Point, rolled the dice and put him on dry tyres. The move proved inspired and while he battled bravely, he eventually succumbed to Kvyat and Vettel to take fourth, ahead of McLaren's Carlos Sainz, who at one stage was as low as 14th.

Alexander Albon survived contact with Pierre Gasly on the final lap to take sixth in the other Toro Rosso, ahead of the Alfa Romeo duo of Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi, with Haas drivers Romain Grosjean and Kevin Magnussen banging wheels but escaping unscathed to complete the top 10.

Wimbledon 2019: Novak Djokovic won 16th Grand Slam Title

Novak Djokovic became the first player in the Open Era to win the Wimbledon men’s singles final after being down match point since 1948 to clinch his fifth title at the Championships and take his Grand Slams tally to 16.

Djokovic played out the longest Wimbledon men's singles final in history against the legendary Roger Federer and prevailed 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 in a marathon encounter on Centre Court.

The player to win the Wimbledon men's singles final after being down match point was America's Robert Falkenburg, who saved three match points and came back to defeat Australia's John Bromwich in the men's singles final.

This triumph also earned Djokovic his 16th Grand Slam trophy overall, moving him closer to the only men ahead of him in tennis history: Federer owns 20, Rafael Nadal has 18. Djokovic has now won the past five meetings against Federer and holds a 26-22 advantage overall head-to-head, including 10-6 at Grand Slam tournaments and 3-1 at Wimbledon. Simona Halep won the Women’s Single titles against Serena Williams.
