Italy's Milan wins Tour de France 17th stage, Pogacar retains yellow
Italian Jonathan Milan claimed his second victory in this year's Tour de France when he won a crash-disrupted sprint in the 17th stage on Wednesday. Milan prevailed in a 10-man sprint after the peloton was held up behind a massive crash with just one kilometre to go as riders went down on slippery roads in a rainy finish in southeastern France. Eritrean Biniam Girmay was attended to by race doctors. Tadej Pogacar of the UAE Team Emirates crossed the finish line safely to retain the overall leader's yellow jersey. "I'm really happy and without words, I have to say. After surviving (the ascent to the Mont Ventoux on Tuesday) I didn't survive alone," said Milan, who holds the green jersey for the points classification. "I survived all this with the help of my teammates. I really have to practice this because without all this I would not be here. Maybe I would have already dropped in one of the climbs (of the day). "So, with the help every single day of my teammates, we achieved this result. Today was a really tough stage... We controlled it from the beginning, of course, with the help of some other teams. But they helped me also when I dropped. In the first climb, in the second one, they really did a good pace." Frenchmen Quentin Pacher and Mathieu Burgaudeau as well as Jonas Abrahamsen of Norway and Italian Vincenzo Albanese broke away early but stood little chance against the collective power of the sprinters' teams. With the peloton breathing down their necks, Abrahamsen went solo with 11km remaining, only to be reined in 4.3km from the line. Milan was the strongest in the reduced sprint, edging out Jordi Meeus of Belgium and Denmark's Tobias Lund Andresen, who were second and third respectively. Thursday's 18th stage is a brutal mountain trek between Vif and the Col de la Loze, one of the most feared ascents in the Tour de France.

What makes a great in-flight movie? Best films to watch on Emirates and Etihad this summer
Many have said it: 'I'll watch it on a plane.' Whether it's a recommendation from a friend or a something we missed in cinemas, a long-haul flight is the place many people finally cross things off our seemingly-endless lists. But thousands of metres in the air, something shifts. Tastes change. We become more emotional (possibly due to lower air pressure), less cynical and far more likely to hit play on something we might have ignored on the ground. Air travel creates a unique mental space – half boredom, half vulnerability – and cinema becomes both an escape and a comfort. A great plane movie is built for that head space. It's not just about quality – it's about mood. It needs to be immersive enough to distract from the armrest battle unfolding beside you, yet undemanding enough to pause mid-flight. It should feel like a reliable companion, not a chore. With that in mind, here's a breakdown of the types of movies that thrive in the sky – and several recommendations currently flying with Emirates and Etihad. Tear-jerkers Yes, it's true – people cry more on planes. Blame the altitude, the cabin pressure, or the fact they're emotionally raw after three hours in an airport queue. A good cry can feel oddly cathartic in the clouds, especially with the right film to trigger it. These picks deliver the gut punch with heart to spare. Flow The animals in this Academy Award-winning animated film never speak, and that realistic characterisation makes them burrow into the heart even more. Available on Emirates Betterman If you'd told us a year ago that a biopic about British singer Robbie Williams would be a tear-jerker, we'd never have believed you. But give it a try to you'll be pleasantly surprised. Emirates Field of Dreams You don't need to know baseball to be moved by this deeply earnest tale of fathers, sons and second chances. Emirates Sleepless in Seattle Rainy nights, lonely hearts and Tom Hanks at his most Hanksian. One of the great comfort films. Emirates The Iron Giant Still one of the greatest animated films ever made. Brad Bird's breakout classic is as funny as it is devastating. Emirates How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies A Thai box-office sensation and TikTok favourite. Balances humour and heartbreak with remarkable ease. Etihad Rewatchables There are films that feel like old friends – endlessly rewatchable, oddly reassuring and perfect for watching when tired, bored or mildly sedated at 30,000 feet. They don't just pass the time – they make the flight fly by. Conclave While less than a year old, this suspenseful political thriller among cardinals picking the next Catholic priest is just as good on return visits. Emirates A Few Good Men That courtroom scene is iconic, but the rest holds up brilliantly. Peak-era Tom Cruise and writer Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, The West Wing). Emirates A murder mystery viewed through a window. Director Alfred Hitchcock makes voyeurism feel like comfort viewing. Emirates The Social Network Razor-sharp writing, brilliant performances and still oddly thrilling even when you know how it ends. Emirate s Moneyball Another baseball film for people who don't like baseball. Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill sell the underdog magic. Emirates Over-the-top action The constant buzz of a plane – the whirr of engines, the clatter of trolleys, the wails of overtired toddlers – can make even the best film hard to focus on. The solution? Loud, fast, gloriously over-the-top action. These are high-stakes, low-subtlety thrill rides. Explosive visuals, simple plots and non-stop momentum make them perfect in-flight entertainment. Just plug in and let the chaos wash over you. Den of Thieves 2: Pantera After the first film became an under-the-radar dad movie classic, Gerard Butler is back as Big Nick for more heist-movie goodness. Emirates Die Hard Still the gold standard for single-location action. Unmatched pacing, wisecracks, and villainy. Emirates G20 Viola Davis saves the world. No, really. She plays the US President rescuing world leaders from terrorists. Emirates The Fugitive A wrongly accused man, a relentless pursuer, and a perfect 90s thriller that's aged like fine wine. Emirates Novocaine Jack Quaid stars as a man who literally can't feel pain – a useful condition when he's forced to become a reluctant hero. Etihad Three-star dramas Not every plane film needs to be a classic. Some of the best in-flight discoveries are the ones you missed in cinemas or never bothered to stream. These mid-tier dramas don't demand full attention, but they deliver just enough emotional pay-off to feel worth it. The Amateur The inimitable Rami Malek gets the eminently-watchable plane action-thriller he's always deserved. Emirates The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants A charming, surprisingly affecting coming-of-age tale about friendship and growing up apart. Etihad Juror #2 Thanks to Superman, Nicholas Hoult is having a moment. This overlooked courtroom drama directed by Clint Eastwood features one of his best performances. Emirates Under the Tuscan Sun A post-divorce Italian villa fantasy. Exactly the kind of wish-fulfilment that hits differently mid-flight. Etihad BlackBerry A tech-world biopic that charts the dizzying rise and fall of a once-ubiquitous device. Emirates Crazy Rich Asians Glamour, romance and family drama set in Singapore. A modern romcom with the heart of a classic. Emirates and Etihad Engrossing documentaries On some flights, our boredom can't be satiated by fictional stories. In those moments, documentaries that teach us things about the world or peel off the layers of a mind-bending mystery are the only thing that can scratch that itch. Sugarcane A heartbreaking film that investigates the dark history of a residential school in Canada. With testimonies from some of its former students, it's a fascinating true crime story you won't soon forget. Emirates Senna If F1 The Movie was your introduction to the world of Formula One, your next step should undoubtedly be director Asif Kapadia's masterful film about the life and death of Brazilian driver Ayrton Senna.
