Owain Doull says he is looking for “how much room for growth” he still has after switching to Team Visma-Lease a Bike for the next two seasons.
The 32-year-old Welsh rider has spent nine years on the World Tour since launching his career with an Olympic team pursuit gold medal on the Rio track in 2016.
He joined Team Sky – later rebranded as Ineos Grenadiers – in 2017 and has spent the last four years riding for EF Education–EasyPost.

Bayern Munich chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has branded Newcastle as ‘idiots’ for stumping up such a sizeable fee for German striker Nick Woltemade, despite his bright start to life in the Premier League.
Woltemade was brought in from Stuttgart in the final days of the summer transfer window for a club-record fee of £69m, acting as the replacement for Alexander Isak who would get his £125m move to Liverpool on deadline day.
The Germany international has kicked into gear quickly on Tyneside, with the 23-year-old notching two goals in three league appearances to date.

When Son Heung-min arrived at Los Angeles Football Club last month, there was a huge sense of excitement: here was South Korea’s most popular athlete and one of the best Asian footballers in history. In a city with the largest South Korean community in the United States, there was also a belief that – just as with Lionel Messi and Miami – the diaspora would create a strong bridge between club and city.
But this was also about LAFC itself.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The South African Football Association said it plans to appeal a FIFA ruling that stripped the men’s national team of a win in 2026 World Cup qualifying over fielding an ineligible player.
The FIFA judgment on Monday to overturn a 2-0 win against Lesotho in March as a 3-0 loss by default knocked South Africa off top spot with two rounds left in a qualifying group that ends in two weeks.
SAFA did not have the chance to make legal arguments to the single FIFA judge who decided the case, it claimed in a statement late Monday.

Magomed Ankalaev’s coach has remarkably played down the threat of Alex Pereira’s power, as the light-heavyweights prepare to clash again this weekend.
In the main event of UFC 320 in Las Vegas, Ankalaev will defend the 205lb title against Pereira, whom he dethroned with a decision win in March.
On that occasion, the well-rounded Ankalaev was too sharp for the former kickboxing champion, who could not find the kind of knockout shot that has felled so many opponents.
