Hell go into tomorrows final stage to paris uncontested, as is the tradition. Bernal has a one minute, 11 second advantage over the defending champion, geraint thomas, who is also his team mate. Todays stage was won by italys vincenzo nibali, while bernal and thomas finished together 17 seconds further back. Patrick gearey reports. On top of the mountain and on top of the world, egan bernal, a 22 year old colombian, will almost certainly become the third youngest winner in the history of the Tour De France. Born in the andes and crowned in the alps, bernal was followed all the way to the top by his countrymen who had never seen a colombian win this race. Bernals job was to stay in yellow and maintain his lead over the short to 37 mile course. Shortened 37 mile course. Last years winner, britains geraint thomas, and the rest of team minios playing wing man, protecting him from threats. Like the man in blue behind him, frenchman Julian Alaphilippe was the chaser, but that takes its toll on these punishing slopes. This is the moment frances bid for a first haul winner in 3a years ran out of puff. Thomas was now second, but launched no challenge, effectively handing over his title to his team mate. They will ride together again in paris. All bernal must do is stay on his bike hes climbed his mountain already. Patrick geary, bbc news. Heres the confirmation of the general classification. 22 year old bernal set to win his first tour title a first for a south american rider, with thomas in second and steven krowseveyk in third. Frances Julian Alaphillippe who held the yellowjersey for so much of the race will finish fifth. Its been a good day for Lewis Hamilton the briton battled illness to not only put himself on pole position for tomorrows german grand prix, but his rival, Sebastien Vettel will start last for his home race, after the ferraris suffered a double mechanical blow. Red bulls Max Verstappen will start second with Hamiltons Mercedes team mate Valtteri Bottas in third. Jennie gow reports. Another pole position for Lewis Hamilton, but in the most exceptional circumstances. He has a case of the flu, which has been problematic for him all week. He says now that he will go rest and sleep is much as he can so he can repeat in the race. But tough times for him and what should have been a very qualifying session for him to not be the wrong ones for ferrari. Ferraris pacing practise created an airof ferraris pacing practise created an air of expectation. On his own qualifying lap, there was clearly something wrong, and the pit stop back in. Despite ferraris efforts, they were unable to get him back on track and he will start tomorrows race from 20th place. Theres also also mercedess home track theyre celebrating 125 years of racing this week, and have revision in the car into the attire. They may look dust it may look different, but Lewis Hamilton is the same driver and went fastest in the second and third rounds. Charles mclaren also looks quick, but ferraris look went from bad to worse, with another mechanical issue. It didnt matter as neither valterrie botas nor max verse tappan did better at. With the qualification tells a story of the season s0 qualification tells a story of the season so far the story of ferrari misfortune and mercedes dominance. Craig templeton, bbc news. Im joined by chris metal and as the fa ns joined by chris metal and as the fans pour out have the hockenheim ring. Asa fans pour out have the hockenheim ring. As a journalist you sometimes get that feeling that this will be a fantastic qualifying thats what it was lined up to be. Then all of a sudden, both ferraris, Sebastian Vettel was in trouble . It was one of those weeks where you thought this couldnt be happening. We saw ferrari hit trouble at different parts. Ajournalistjoked because they topped all three sessions, and they topped all three sessions, and theyjoked, how will ferrari screw this up was meant meant as a joke but it was one thing where they seem to find ways to trip themselves up. Issues can arise any time, but the way it happened, you cant fight it. Lewis hamilton got pole position despite the case of flu, and it will be max verse tappan who starts beside him, who still got the threat of rain as well. Those two are the wet weather specialists, it would be great to see them duke it out in the front. Do you think we will get that . I think it will be wet, but it will come down to max getting a good start. He had a bad start in austria and made up for it because it was so quick. If its not wet tomorrow, that it needs to be hot, and that could be problematic for mercedes. It still is not great in high temperatures, so im hoping they can put the pressure on if its hot, but i think they would prefer to be wet as well. Realistically it is likely they will get some admission that will bring the two teams closer together, and max will see this is a big opportunity. Certainly hes the right guy to be chasing lewis if he cant get ahead, because he will be relentless. A lot of ferrari fans are disappointed, plenty of mercedes fans at home, but there are plenty of max fans. For max fans, they are pouring out of the circuit as they speak. Theyre pouring out of the circuit as they speak. They re enjoying pouring out of the circuit as they speak. Theyre enjoying being in swimming pools and topless in the crowd the guys, not the girls as much. Lets see what the weather brings for us as well. But Lewis Hamilton starts at pole position. In rugby league, st helens remain on course for a domestic treble, after booking their place in the challenge cup final. They overcame stubborn part time opponents halifax 26 2, to set up a derby against warrington, who beat hull 22 14. Austin halewood reports. A builder, a baker, and a farmer just some of the full time jobs this halifax team have. Taking on the best side of the country in saint helens, it was billed as david versus goliath. Some said they would win by 50 60 points. But halifax came to play. Great determination and a rock solid defence kept the saints at bay. Until finally, the deadlock was broken. Captainjames robie slipping over the line late in the first half. But still, halifax stepped into the second, until finally saint helens class started to show. Johnny lomax sliding into the corner before tio phage sealed it later on. It is game over, saints. They are now headed for wembley. An impressive display from halifax, but in the end, it was just one step too far. As for warrington and hull, there was nothing for these two sites. After 23 rounds of super league, they are split by two points. But it was the wolves who bit first. A fumble from hull let Bryson Goodwin slipped into the corner. But from six wins into the last eight, hull were filled with confidence so much so that they tried things like this. Sheer brilliance a pinpoint cross field kick from albert kelly into the corner. Theres been nothing between the sides this season, and warrington showed that anything hull could do, they could do to. Ben curry rising highest to give the wolves the lead into the break. Into the second half, it started just in the same way. Warrington going to the sky, this time toby king rising highest to score. Hull continued to bat against the warrington defence, but in the end it was the wolves who had the final say. A chip, a chase, and a spot in the final. Hometown boyjoe philbin, the man to take warrington to wembley. Austin halewood, bbc news. A former big bash cricketer was the hero as leeds rhinos retained the womens challenge cup.

So a second consecutive challenge cup for leeds, and the party will go long into the evening in bolton. Imran sidat, bbc news. England have named their squad for the first ashes test match, which starts at edgbaston on thursday. And, as expected, world cup winner jofra archer has been called up for the first time. Archer took 20 wickets in englands world cup campaign, but has been struggling with a side strain recently. Hes picked alongside fellow bowlers, james anderson, stuart broad, chris woakes, olly stone, sam curran, and spinner moeen ali. All rounder ben stokes has been restored as vice captain of the team. He was stripped of the honour after that infamous episode outside a bristol nightclub, which saw him cleared of affray meanwhile the under fire batting line up will continue into the first test with rory burns, joe denly and jason roy selected alongside captain joe root. With wicketkeeper batsmen Jonny Bairstow and jos buttler also in the squad. Well, earlier i spoke to former england spinner monty panesar, and he told me that he believes that the selectors have got the Big Decisions right. England have been good in terms of showing the faith in the players playing against ireland. Everyone was thinking about changing the batting order, may be changing the bowling, as well. Some people felt that this was a perfectly balanced squad. And i think that when youre choosing a squad, especially for the ashes, you want to keep that faith in the players. In their mindset, it allows them to be free and clear about their game plans, knowing that the selectors are showing a lot of faith in them. And thats the best way to be, and i think that really puts the players in a good frame of mind, the first test that starts next week. Joe root has said he has no concerns over the batting. But is it fair to say they are art concerns over the top order . Joe root will be having concerns about that, he knows they are relying heavily on the bawling. And this is likely to be more of a bowling dominance series then bunting. The previous ashes, weve had batting always be a strong point. But i think this time around, both teams there bowling seems to bea both teams there bowling seems to be a lot stronger. And forjoe, his concern will be the openers. Hes looking at a solid opening stand because he knows the middle order will be strong in england have a lwa ys will be strong in england have always had a strong 5 6 7 8, its been their strength. It will be a concern for england, and you look at australia, i think their order isnt as strong. So itll be interesting to see how the batting shapes up throughout the series. Is there anyone thats not in the squad that you wouldve liked to have seen in . I think theyve got the squad spot on at the moment. Our strength does rely on the all rounders, the likes of ben stokes, chris vokes, moeen ali, johnny barstow, that middle order there is where england are at their strongest. And their weakest point will be the openers, and also hopefully the injury ofjimmy anderson isnt to flared up, because we need a fitjimmy anderson and stuart broad sin they can put a lot of pressure on the australians. The only concern with this england team right now is the spot one into. Your biased, but who do you see as favourites . I think england are the slight favourites at the moment. They seem to find ways of winning, especially against ireland, that 180 score. It just shows especially against ireland, that 180 score. Itjust shows that england is a strong team in the conditions and the conditions are in their favour. And there could be time in the ashes were australia could be chasing or faced under over cross conditions, and i just chasing or faced under over cross conditions, and ijust dont think the australian batting line up can compete with england. Giving me his thoughts on englands squad for the first ashes test against australia. Its the final round of fixtures this weekend in the Scottish League cup. Heres just a pick of some of the results. Hearts drew 1 1 at league one east fife, but lost on penalties. Top flight stjohnstone were also on the end of a shock losing 2 1 at League One Forfar athletic. The three other premiership sides in action today all managed to avoid any slip ups, with wins for motherwell, hamilton and livingston. Plenty more coming up, but first lets take a quick look at some of the days football news. It looks like gareth bale has played his last game for real madrid. He featured in a friendly against city rivals atletico last night but is expected to join the Chinese Super league side, jiangsu suning. Its a move that will apparently see him earn a Million Pounds a week. Well, real were thrashed 7 3 in that friendly in the unted states. Former chelsea striker diego costa had an eventful evening he scored four goals. But he then let his temper get the better of him, and he was sent off after a tangle with Dani Carvajal the real man was also red carded. And arsenal have reached an agreement with lille to sign ivory coast winger nicolas pepe. The deal, worthjust over 70 Million Pounds, is still to be finalised but is expected to be completed over the course of the weekend. Pepe scored 22 goals last season. There was disappointment for british swimmer ben proud as he could only finish fifth in the final of the 50 metre freestyle at the World Championships in gwangju. But its been another day of success for the golden boy of american swimming Caeleb Dressel he won three golds in one session to take his overall tally to six this week. Earlier i spoke to mark foster and rebecca adlington, who have been following the action for the bbc all this week. Michael phelps kind of retired and dressel has just stepped into that role just because he deals freestyle and butterfly. But he said himself he doesnt want to be compared to michael. Its one of those where he is its own swimmer in his own right, and he totally is. Because what hes donejust for the sport and he totally is. Because what hes done just for the sport in general, with his starts and skills being unbelievable, but even people doing the backstroke and different disciplines and distances they all wa nt to disciplines and distances they all want to replicate him, and hesjust having such an unbelievable chance that you can even put it in perspective. Tonight he won three gold medals in one session. Thats just unbelievable. Lets talk about her third st 50 metre title, or eight the world title overall. Shes been so dominant for so long, as well. This championship so far, weve been shocked because shes not one where she we expected her to. Shes had a big week and shes not a bad actor at all. We as viewers have become complacent because we expected her to be in that gold, but tonight it was just sheer relief you could see the smile on her face, she was just so relieved to have finally completed the full set here. I want to ask you about shaner jackets, its been confirmed by australia that she was officially suspended for testing positive for a banned substance. Do you think doping has rightly or wrongly become a controversial thing that we talked about during this World Championship . Its the first one, really. And its one of those grey areas where weve all been in the sport for a number of years whereby people take ownership of what they put in the body, but from what i read, she took something unknowingly and it was a substance in one of the supplements. Sol and it was a substance in one of the supplements. So i feel for her, but at the same time, if you want clean sports, you need to take it responsibly for what you put your body. But to take away from the negative, the swimming has fantastic andl negative, the swimming has fantastic and i like to see the positive news that goes along with swimming. But we are seeing grey areas. Coming to the end, how much of you enjoyed these championships was yellow its been a great week. A year out from the Olympic Games, you get to know the Olympic Games, you get to know the newbies that weve not seen bef
