63 m. ago Intrepid Geoff Thomas geared up for another crack at Tour de France route

Former Crystal Palace captain aims to complete the entire course for seventh time to raise funds for Cure LeukaemiaWhen Geoff Thomas was forced to abandon his seventh attempt to complete Tour 21 at the age of 58 after an unforgiving day on the cobblestones, the former Crystal Palace captain thought his days in the saddle were over. “My bike sort of disintegrated underneath me,” remembers Thomas. “That’s when the issues with my knees started so I’d not really been on the bike since then.”But, two years on and having celebrated his 60th birthday earlier this year, he will join the group of amateur riders in tackling the entire Tour de France route a week before the pros, a ride of nearly 3,500km to raise money for Cure Leukaemia.

2 d. ago Premier League players who need a move to revitalise their careers

Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United and Brighton all need to offload players this summerBy WhoScoredJust two years ago Grealish was at the centre of the celebrations as Manchester City won the treble.
