Newsflash: May 23 - Burgos, Giro and a new ride in Paris
The 2025 Vuelta a Burgos Féminas runs this week with a four-stage route over 351km. Key features include a punchy uphill opener, a sprint stage, a summit finish on Picón Blanco, and a decisive individual time trial. Lotte Kopecky leads SD Worx-Protime, using the race to gauge her form ahead of the Tour de France Femmes. At the Giro d'Italia, Isaac Del Toro held onto the pink jersey in Stage 12, gaining bonus seconds to extend his lead over teammate Juan Ayuso. The Tour de France finale on July 27 will undergo a major shake-up. Triple ascents of Montmartre will replace most Champs-Élysées laps.
The punchy, cobbled climb just 6km from the finish promises real drama. The change aims to echo the 2024 Olympics and make the finale more exciting and competitive.

‘We have to be creative with our team selection' says Carsley
Media conference with Lee Carsley at St George's Park, Burton upon Trent, as he announces his England U21 squad for the European Championships in Slovakia.

Tino Livramento, Jarell Quansah and Elliot Anderson have been included in the England Under-21 squad after senior boss Thomas Tuchel namechecked the trio last month and urged them to play a 'major role' in the tournament.

England squad has ‘so much talent' despite high-profile absentees
England midfielder Ella Toone is confident the squad will move on from the loss of three experienced internationals and put up a staunch defence of their European Championship crown this summer. Within the last two weeks Mary Earps and Fran Kirby have retired from international football, while Millie Bright has stepped away saying she is 'unable to give 100 percent mentally or physically'. It has left a significant hole in Sarina Wiegman's squad – the trio have 220 caps between them – a month before the Euros, but Toone insists there are plenty of reasons to remain optimistic about their title defence.

Late drama as Spain reach Nations League final
Lamine Yamal scored a brace as Spain reached the Nations League final with an extraordinary 5-4 victory over France, putting them in prime position to seek a third title in as many years. Nico Williams smashed the opener in the 22nd minute and it was followed three minutes later by Mikel Merino drilling his shot home. Teenage sensation Yamal then converted a penalty in the 54th, Pedri netted a minute later while Yamal struck again in the 67th for the 2023 Nations League and Euro 2024 champions. France, who had trailed 4-0 after Pedri's goal, hit back from captain Kylian Mbappe in the 59th, also from the spot. Rayan Cherki then scored from a sensational volley in the 79th which was followed by an own goal by Dani Vivian in the 84th. Randal Kolo Muani scored in stoppage time to reduce the deficit to just one. The match was billed as a duel between Ballon d'Or contenders Yamal from Spanish champions Barcelona and Ousmane Dembele from Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain. Dembele had scored a hat-trick in Thursday's stadium as PSG won a crucial Champions League group game 4-1 against VfB Stuttgart, but came up empty-handed this time around - just like the other PSG players including Desire Doue. France certainly had further chances, as Theo Hernandez hit the crossbar with the score 0-0 and Dembele the post later on. But despite the late nerves La Roja were eventually more efficient as they prevailed like in the Euro 2024 semi-final they won 2-1. Spain will now face Portugal for the trophy on Sunday in Munich, pitting 17-year-old Yamal against 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored the 2-1 winner against Germany in the other semi on Wednesday. Germany and France will play for third place in Stuttgart, also on Sunday.
