Scottish cyclist on track for historic Tour De France finish
Scottish cyclist Oscar Onley could be set for a historic Tour De France finish. Another strong stage on Friday means the 22-year-old is on track to finish fourth in the General Classification (overall standings). If he keeps that up over the final two stages across the weekend, he'll match fellow Scot Robert Millar's (now Pippa York) fourth-place finish 41 years ago. York won a stage in 1984- which Onley hasn't yet managed this year. However, he saw his podium dream fade on Friday as Thymen Arensman won the final mountain stage of this punishing race in La Plagne. Tadej Pogacar followed Jonas Vingegaard over the line just behind Arensman, a fourth overall crown now looking safe with his lead at four minutes 24 seconds over Vingegaard, who took back a couple of bonus seconds but nothing more on this final opportunity to make major changes to the standings. Onley, riding his second Tour, started the day 22 seconds behind third-placed Florian Lipowitz, both men fighting for the best young rider's white jersey, but faded towards the summit of La Plagne to concede 41 seconds and stay fourth overall. It was a second stage win of his debut Tour for Arensman, who had scored a much-needed victory for the Ineos Grenadiers on stage 14 on Superbagneres. UAE Team Emirates-XRG had looked determined to set up Pogacar for what would have been an exclamation mark of a fifth stage victory of this race on the final climb, but Arensman tried a number of attacks and when he went clear with 13km of the climb remaining, he managed to open a gap. His advantage over Pogacar, Vingegaard, Onley and Lipowitz hovered at around 30 seconds, the sort of margin a fully-fresh Pogacar would be able to close at will, but the fatigue in everyone's legs perhaps told as the anticipated attack from behind never really materialised. It was only when Onley began to struggle that Lipowitz saw his opportunity to finish off the Scot, moving to the front and upping the pace. But even so, Arensman hung on to win by a couple of seconds. 'I feel absolutely destroyed,' Arensman said. 'I can't believe it. Already to win one stage in the Tour was unbelievable from a breakaway, but now to do it against the GC group, against the strongest riders in the world, it feels like I'm dreaming. I don't know what I just did.' The discovery of a contagious disease amongst cattle in the area had forced changes to the route, which was shortened from 129.9 kilometres to 95km, removing two climbs but leaving the main tests of the Col du Pre and the finish to La Plagne, still with 3,250m of climbing packed in. Primoz Roglic had been immediately on the attack in an all-or-nothing attempt to move up from fifth overall, but he was caught before the final climb and quickly distanced to move well down, not up, the general classification. With a hilly but not mountainous stage from Nantua to Pontarlier on the menu for Saturday before Sunday's run into Paris – which this year includes the Montmartre climb – there could still be some changes at the sharp end of the general classification but it is difficult to see the podium changing.

Scottish cycling sensation, 22, stuns the world's top cyclists as he eyes Scotland's best EVER Tour de France finish
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCOTTISH cycling sensation Oscar Onley remains on course to equal Scotland's best EVER Tour de France finish after a gruelling stage to Mont Ventoux. Onley may have been born in London but he was raised from a young age in the town of Kelso, identifies as Scottish and came through the Scottish system. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Oscar Onley (right) tracks Florian Lipowitz of Germany Credit: Getty 2 Oscar Onley of Team Picnic PostNL before the 16th stage of the Tour de France Credit: EPA A natural climber, he finished a creditable 39th as he was selected for his first Tour de France 12 months ago. And he's still sitting in a remarkable FOURTH spot in the toughest bike race in the world with just FIVE stages to withstand after one of the toughest climbs in cycling. He came in 14th on the sheer slopes of Ventoux, some 2 minutes 29 back on stage winner Valentin Paret Peintre. But that was still enough for him to limit his losses on former yellow jersey winner Primoz Roglic in fifth spot to just 38 seconds. And that means he survives in fourth with just four days and then the traditional procession to the Champs Elysees in Paris on the final day to come. No Scottish rider has ever secured a podium spot for one of the 1-2-3 in the General Classification on the Tour. Robert Millar, now known as Philippa York, finished fourth back in 1984, in addition to picking up the polka dot jersey for the top mountain climber on the tour that year. Onley is 11 minutes and four seconds behind imperious Slovenian leader Tadej Pogacar, who looks set to claim a FOURTH yellow jersey. But with a couple of big days in the Alps still to come he's still got hope of finding the two minutes he needs to overtake Germany's Florian Lipowitz to get third. He's also chasing Lipowitz in the race for the white jersey, the privilege of the best young rider in the race. Mark Cavendish & The Royals help celebrate Edinburgh hosting the Tour de France in 2027 Amazingly Onley actually could have had a career as an elite cross-country runner instead and only started riding a bike after being inspired to start cycling by the fact that the time-trial route for his local club, Kelso Wheelers, went right past his house. He raced in Europe as a junior before joining the development team of his current squad, Picnic PostNL, in 2021. The Tour de France is coming to Edinburgh in 2027 and he's previously spoken of his delight and hope to be on the start line. He said: 'The Tour de France coming to Scotland is really exciting and can have a huge impact on inspiring people to get on bikes and potentially start a new wave of talent coming out of Scotland. "Scotland has hosted the Tour of Britain a few times over the past years and always puts on a good show, Le Tour offers a great opportunity to showcase the country on a bigger scale."

PDO sent on compulsory retirement for accepting bribe in Karnataka
BENGALURU: Receiving a mere Rs 2,000 bribe for 'E-Swathu' has become costly for a Panchayat Development Officer (PDO) with the state government giving him compulsory retirement. Hanumanthappa Hanchinamane, PDO of Channepura Grama Panchayat in Channagiri taluk of Davanagere District, was trapped by the Lokayukta police while accepting the bribe of Rs 2,000 from the complainant Ranganatha BH, resident of Mavinakatte village, for the grant of 'E-Swathu' for the purchase of a site measuring 14x100 ft with a house from one Mangalabai. The state government entrusted the inquiry against him to Upa Lokayukta Justice B Veerappa, under Rule 14(A) of the Karnataka Civil Service (Classification, Regulation and Appeal) Rules, 1957, on July 31, 2023. The Upa Lokayukta, on February 18, recommended the State government to give him compulsory retirement as he conducted himself unbecoming of a public servant as provided under Rule 3(1)(i), (ii) and (iii) of Karnataka Civil Service (Conduct) Rules, 1966. Accepting the recommendation, the State government issued a showcause notice to Hanchinamane on March 10. In reply, he denied the allegations, saying that the inquiry officer had not conducted the inquiry properly to examine the charges against him. While rejecting the explanation given by him, the government concluded that the charges of Hanchinamane conducting himself unbecoming of a public servant have been proved when looking into the inquiry report supported by the statements of witnesses.

The Tour de France continues its westward journey across France as the eighth stage rolls out on Saturday, July 12, offering a golden opportunity for the sprinters to flex their legs once again. Covering 171.4 km from Saint-Méen-Le-Grand to Laval Espace Mayenne, the route promises a fast-paced, flat stage designed for a high-speed finale.

More Photo by TimHow to Watch Tour de France 2025, Stage 8 When: Saturday, July 12, 2025 Time: 6:30 AM ET Where: Saint-Méen-Le-Grand, France Live Stream: Peacock (STREAM NOW) With gradients barely rising above 3.8%, and just one modest fourth-category climb late in the race, the course through western France is expected to end in a bunch sprint. The Côte de Nuillé-sur-Vicoin, coming just 16 km from the finish, is unlikely to play spoiler. It may offer a final chance for breakaway hopefuls to try their luck, but sprinters' teams will be eager to reel in any late moves and set up their lead-out trains. While Stage 8 isn't expected to impact the yellow jersey race, General Classification teams will still be on alert. Crosswinds, crashes, or poorly timed mechanicals could all shake up the leaderboard, even on a flat day. Riders like Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard, and Primož Roglič will likely spend the day staying out of trouble and tucked behind their domestiques.
