Over in Germany, Bayern Munich kicked off their title defence with a statement 6-0 win over Leipzig, including a hat-trick from Harry Kane. The Women’s Rugby World Cup curtain-raiser on Friday saw hosts England put away 11 tries against the USA in Sunderland, while France prepare to take to the field on Saturday evening to face Italy. With Tadej Pogacar sitting out this year’s Vuelta, his main rival Jonas Vingegaard is the overwhelming favourite ahead of today’s opening stage in Turin.
