MARK CAVENDISH stole the show again at the Tour de France as he won stage three in a photo finish.
The Manx Missile, who also took the honours on day one, now has 28 stage wins in his career and is joint second on the all-time list.
Fellow Brit and defending champ Chris Froome is well placed in fourth in the general classification heading into stage four today where Peter Sagan is favourite at 3-1 with Boylesports while Marcel Kittel could be worth a look at 10-1 with Skybet.
There's T20 international cricket action from the Ageas Bowl where England are 7-19 at Unibet to see off Sri Lanka, the 12-5 outsiders at Sportingbet.
Other sporting highlights include plenty of Wimbledon matches and Major League baseball so post your tips and chat here and good luck with your bets.
Well Done MR. Orange!!! ;)

Cycling: Tour de France 2016 stage 4
Longest stage of the tour tomorrow with 237k and an uphill sprint at the end.
Match-ups:
Matthews to beat Degenkolb
Coquard to beat Kristoff
Double @ 2.17 with WH – 17.5 points
This is a stage that Matthews has marked for sure. The uphill sprint at the end suits him really well and he has won a lot of races on these kind of finishes. Degenkolb still doesn’t look 100%. He is still coming back after a crash in training (where he nearly lost a finger), so I think he still isn’t able to beat one of the best on this kind of terrain.
Coquard looks in good shape, 7th in the first stage and 3rd today. He was with the 4 best sprinters today with the rest coming a couple of bike lenghts behind. The uphill finish suits him well and I think he will beat Kristoff just like he did in the other sprint stages.
There is also a chance that a couple of teams will try to lose the sprinters in the hills of the last 20k and I am quite sure they can’t drop Matthews and Coquard.
