Ronnie O'Sullivan beats Judd Trump to win UK Championship

Ronnie O'Sullivan managed to hold off an epic Judd Trump comeback on top of a broken ankle to claim his fifth UK Championship title in York.  Right from the off Ronnie loked in control and led 5-1 at  the end of the first session.  Judd Trump pulled two frames back to stay within touching distance before then trailing 9-4.  A classic revival saw Trump return from the brink, making breaks of 120 and 127 to level the contest at 9-9 and taking the contest to the last frame. It was all going down to the wire until Trump fouled from a snooker in the last as O'Sullivan won 10-9.



Still one of my favourite shots of Ronnie in action - look at how the rest is being held in place.  See more at: http://www.peverilphoto.com/section665568_549149.html

Tour de France 2014: Vincenzo Nibali wins stage two in Yorkshire

Newly crowned Italian champion Vincenzo Nibali attacked late to win stage two of the Tour de France from York to Sheffield. With less than 2km to go, the Astana rider broke clear of a group including Britain's defending champion Chris Froome and double winner Alberto Contador, who came in two seconds back.

Nibali took over the leader's yellow jersey from stage one winner Marcel Kittel, who finished 20 minutes adrift.  All-in it was a fabulous weekend of cycling action in all corners of Yorkshire.
