Spectacular cricket catches, Ronaldo at Real Madrid and Le Tour hits Pau | Classic YouTube

1) This catch from Luke Whitehead of Lullington Park Cricket Club is very good. This grab from Chris Gayle in Canada’s T20 league is better. Gayle has got previous in this department, catching Hashim Amla out in ridiculous fashion during the West Indies’ tour of South Africa in 2007-08. Come for the catch, stay for Geoffrey Boycott’s commentary.

2) Cristiano Ronaldo, the Real Madrid years. Meanwhile, in Turin … go behind the scenes at ‘#CR7DAY’. Go on, then. Let’s look back to the goal he scored against Juve in April with some other overhead kick classics from modern greats.

3) How did Paul Pogba celebrate becoming a world champion? Under a sombrero in the Luzhniki Stadium and with this song for N’Golo Kanté in Paris – with backing vocals from Didier Deschamps. Pogba was vocal in the dressing room too – as this rousing half-time speech from the match against Argentina shows.

4) The Tour de France’s final week takes the race into the Pyrenees, and the city of Pau, scene of 70 stages over the years. Here, you can watch Channel 4 footage of Bernard Hinault’s dramatic attack on team-mate Greg Lemond in 1986. The day after, Hinault attempts the same and pays the price on the road to Luchon. From 45 years ago, Pedro Torres wins at Pau in frankly disgusting conditions with eventual winner Luis Ocana left behind.

5) Formula One visits Hockenheim this weekend, and here’s a course guide to the Hockenheimring narrated by David Coulthard. The course is much changed these days, as this video shows – and its famous forest is no longer part of the race. In 1991, Ayrton Senna attempted to win pole in qualifying but lost out to Nigel Mansell.

6) Ahead of this weekend’s X Games in Minneapolis, skateboarding legend Bob Burnquist, who retired after last year’s event, looks back on his stellar career.

1) Lilian Thuram v Croatia in 1998: from zero to hero.

2) Rewind to 1985 when Larry Bird hit 60 points for the Boston Celtics against the Atlanta Hawks. By the end of the game, Bird was so good that the opposition bench couldn’t help but cheer him on – the Hawks’ coach, Mike Fratello, was so infuriated that he reportedly fined the players for their exploits.

3) Some of the biggest names in golf take on The Hickory Challenge: a closest-to-the-pin contest with ancient clubs and balls.

4) Franco Baresi’s best bits from the 1994 World Cup final, and all carried out with a dodgy knee. What a player.
