4 h. ago ‘I’m the total opposite to Cav and Brad’: Geraint Thomas on how a normal bloke won the Tour de France

The two-time Olympic gold medallist details the grit and sacrifice needed to succeed and says Ineos are held to a different standard than other teams“I’m pretty laidback and don’t take myself too seriously off the bike,” Geraint Thomas says as, in retirement, the 2018 Tour de France winner reflects on the contrast between his relaxed public persona and his real self. “I think people assume I’m like that in every aspect of my life. But when it came to training and racing I took it really seriously. I did everything I could to reach my very best and always go as deep as possible. I had that determination to perform.”The 39-year-old Welshman pauses as he thinks of his old contemporaries Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins: “Cav was obviously a lot more outspoken. I didn’t tend to tell people what I was hoping to do. And Brad’s spoken recently about how he had troubles in the past while he portrayed the whole rock-star image. Continue reading...

5 h. ago Kia Joorabchian’s £3.78m ‘early strike’ for colt shows big bloodstock ambition

Amo Racing founder beats Coolmore to Lot 15 by FrankelFootball agent aims to compete with richest operationsThe first seven-figure buy arrived within an hour on the opening day of the elite Book 1 sale at Tattersalls auction, and so too an early contender for the most tongue-in-cheek remark of the week. “An early strike,” said Kia Joorabchian, football super-agent and founder of the Amo Racing operation, after splashing 3.6m gns (£3.78m) on Lot 15, a bay colt by Frankel. “Hopefully, no more.”Joorabchian left last year’s Book 1 around £25m lighter in his wallet, but with 25 new yearling recruits as additional ammo for Amo. He has made no secret of his ambition to buy in at the top table of global Flat racing, and challenge the old money of John Magnier’s Coolmore Stud operation and the sovereign wealth of Sheikh Mohammed’s Godolphin, so he was never likely to stop at a single purchase this time around.

6 h. ago Nordic Noir review – one severed horse’s head is just not nearly enough noir

British Museum, London While some prints are suitably nasty, these mostly so-so drawings feel more like something you’d see in Ikea. Who thought they were worthy of purchase for the nation?Nordic noir. Wasn’t that a genre that had people abuzz back in the 00s? Its revival by the British Museum’s prints and drawings department as a title for an exhibition of modern and contemporary Scandinavian graphic art seems desperate. Forget our oldies like Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Dürer, Leonardo da Vinci – we’re all about new stuff by hot young Scandi artists! Maybe it’s understandable; after all the National Gallery is also moving in on modern art. But Nordic Noir shows just how far overeager neophilia can go wrong. A museum that specialises in history has gone fishing in contemporary waters and, like a lonely angler on an Arctic lake, has come up with absolutely nothing.The big surprise is that most of the works here are not on loan. The British Museum owns them. It has “acquired” 400 exampl...

7 h. ago ‘Photos don’t go bigger than mine’: the epic, impossible images of the great Andreas Gursky

From Amazon warehouses to Olympic skiers and the crowd at a Madonna gig, his pictures have made him one of the world’s most feted photographers. So why did the German artist want to postpone his new show?Andreas Gursky started out shooting mostly black and white landscapes on a handheld camera, but in the 1990s he switched, taking the pictures that he has now become famous for. Out went analogue and in came epic panoramas that were digitally stitched together, capturing in intricate detail and colour stock exchanges, factories, Amazon warehouses, 99 cent stores, Olympic skiers and the crowd at a Madonna concert.“My works,” he recalls, “were selling for more and more.” In fact, his rising status in the art world was reflected in his photographs inside Prada and Gucci stores – the former was taken while he was waiting for his wife, who was shopping there. Then, in 2011, Gursky’s 1999 colour photograph Rhein II, a horizontal vista of the river flowing across flat fields near Dusseldorf...
