Tour de France Stage 7 results, standings: Tadej Pogacar wins, reclaims yellow jersey
The defending champion and three-time winner of cycling's preeminent test sprinted past Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel and top contender Jonas Vingegaard near the finish line to win Stage 7 on Friday, July 11 and take back the overall lead at this year's Tour de France. Mathieu van der Poel of the Netherlands entered the race with the yellow jersey after finishing Stage 6 with a one-second lead over Pogačar, who was the pre-Tour favorite.
Stage 7 also featured a late crash involving multiple riders, most notably Pogačar's teammate with UAE Team Emirates XRG, João Almeida. Mattia Cattaneo, one of Evenepoel's teammates with Soudal Quick-Step, also withdrew from the race about 70 kilometers into Friday's 197-kilometer course from Saint-Malo to Mûr-de-Bretagne Guerlédan.

OM: Roberto De Zerbi hails Aubameyang
Roberto De Zerbi and Aubameyang Olympique de Marseille head coach Roberto De Zerbi was full of praise Saturday night for Gabonese international Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Clearly, Roberto De Zerbi is a happy man since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's return. Coming off the bench last night against Sevilla FC in a friendly, the former Arsenal striker is eagerly awaited by everyone in the Bouches-du-Rhône — especially his coach. At the end of the 1-1 draw at the Vélodrome, Roberto De Zerbi expressed his overall satisfaction with his squad's performance. Speaking to the press, the manager even gave his full backing to Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. "Aubameyang really wanted to come back. It hurt us when he left. I wanted to send him on alone tonight so he could feel the love from the fans. He's still in great shape, and that doesn't take anything away from Gouiri, who still has the advantage. We might even see them both together." he said.

Why Christopher Nkunku has rejected approaches from multiple Premier League teams
He's had a couple of tough years at Chelsea, so it's easy to forget that not long ago Christopher Nkunku was one of the stars of the French national team and one of the country's best regarded players. It's no wonder that L'Equipe did a big report on him and his future yesterday. Teams line up for Nkunku – but no deal coming easily Christopher Nkunku battles for possession against Fluminense.(Photo by) The French paper claim that Nkunku is at a 'pivotal moment in his career', knowing that his 'future with the national team is at stake in the short term.' With a World Cup coming up next summer he wants to be starting and Chelsea can't or won't offer him that right now. The good news is that there is some interest – this report says that Liverpool 'has other plans,' but that Inter Milan are trying to make things work. Bayern Munich are his longest term suitors, although they need to sell before they can buy. Teams from the bottom half of the Premier League have also come forward for the former Leipzig man but been knocked back. It's all promising – but nothing looks ready to happen yet. Inter may fall short in financial stakes for Chelsea star Like many have noted on social media already, we're always sceptical of rumours of Italian interest in our A list players. Serie A clubs just don't tend to have the budget to make those deals worthwhile at the very top end of the scale. There are always exceptions, but given Chelsea will be looking for for something like £40m for Nkunku, we can't see Inter making it work easily. Our best hope of moving the 27 year old on for a good fee seems to still be hoping Bayern have a little squad clearout and summon some funds for him.

Manchester United shows interest in Randal Kolo Muani
But Manchester won't have a clear path to the French international. Juventus, impressed by the forward's performances in Serie A (8 goals in 16 matches), is determined to keep him permanently. Talks with Paris are reportedly ongoing on a daily basis as they attempt to reach an agreement. Expect a fierce tug-of-war between the Red Devils and the Old Lady this summer in the battle to land the French international.
