LEWIS HAMILTON has been dealt a blow ahead of the F1 Belgian Grand Prix after copping a grid penalty that will see him start from the back of the grid.
The championship leader will take the sanction because his Mercedes team have used more than the allowed number of engine parts following early-season technical problems.
It makes Sunday's race at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit a damage limitation exercise for Hamilton who is as big as 6-1 at bet365 for victory, with team-mate Nico Rosberg clear favourite at 3-5 with Unibet.
On the oche there was a massive shock on day one of the Sydney Masters darts yesterday where defending chap Phil Taylor crashed out to young Aussie Corey Cadby.
Cadby's reward is a quarter-final clash with Peter Wright today and he's 6-1 at bet365 to stage another big upset while the other ties see Gary Anderson take on Dave Chisnall, Adrian Lewis do battle with Raymond van Barneveled and James Wade try to take down title favourite Michael van Gerwen.
Other highlights on the sporting schedule today include Tour of Spain cycling and tennis so post your tips and chat here.

Good start with my 1st bet of the Rugby Championship coming in last week and I’m sticking with the same formula this weekend. Double of New Zealand -12.5 and Argentina +10.5 at just under evens. The Kiwi’s should do the business again based on last weeks result and I think Argentina could actually beat the Boks, but playing it safe. Will again look at the in-play markets but NZ over 3.5 tries at 4/5 looks tasty already. Enjoy the games!
College football gets underway tonight and so I am going to jump on the bandwagon of picking the Heisman winner for the 16/17 season.
Last year, Derick Henry won it, he has now gone to the NFL but the 4 of the next 5 players who got the most votes are returning to college ball this season, namely, Deshaun Watson, Christian McCaffrey, Lenard Fournette and Baker Mayfield.
Baker Mayfield is poised to have a huge season with the Sooners this season, and if Lenard Fournette can produce the form that he showed through the first 7 weeks of last season, he will no doubt be in with a shout. Deshaun Watson is Deshaun Watson, no more needs to be said about him because everything he has shown thus far in his college career is nothing short of phenomenal.
But my pick will be on Christian McCaffrey at 7/1.
This guy is an absolute monster, if you don’t know him, check out his highlights in the Rose Bowl and that game alone will leave you in awe. The Heisman is a stats-driven award oftentimes won by a quarterback, but I am picking McCaffrey because I have no doubt Stanford will be leaning heavily on him and with McCaffrey involved in everything bar defense and kicking (rushing, throwing, receiving, returning), this should have a positive impact on his Expected Points Added (one of the measuring metrics when deciding on the Heisman). and at 7/1, I am happy to take a small stake punt on him.
Christian McCaffrey Heisman Winner – 7/1 (Small stake)

Hawaii +20.0 @10/11 (small stake)
