BRITAIN'S Chris Froome retained the Tour de France yellow jersey yesterday and is now in to 8-11 at Paddy Power to take the title for the second time in two years.
Alexis Vuillermoz became the first French stage winner of this year's race and today's action is a 28km team time trial where Froome's Sky are second favourites at 9-2 with Coral behind BMC (11-10, 888sport).
Wimbledon comes to an end with a fitting final between the world's top two – Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. I'll be on Fed to claim his eighth title at 11-10 with Betfred and don't forget to check out Mr Fixit's preview and tips thread on the blockbuster clash.
In the cricket England thrashed the Aussies to take the first Test honours yesterday and are now favourites for series victory at 21-20 with Stan James while the Baggy Greens are 9-5 at Paddy Power and the draw 4-1 at Bet365. Today's action features T20 World Cup qualifiers where Scotland look to bounce back from defeat to Holland with a win over Afghanistan.
There's also Super League matches and European Tour Darts on the agenda so good luck with your bets and post your tips and chat here.
