time they have won the ryder cup on home soil. lewis hamilton took a big step towards what would be a fifth world championship after winning the russian grand prix but the brit got a big helping hand from his mercedes hierarchy. hamilton benefited from team orders allowing him past valtteri bottas as he extended his lead in the standings to 50 points over sebastian vettel. nick parrott was watching. commiserations rather than celebrations were the order of the day in sochi. lewis hamilton trying to consult valtteri bottas for giving upa to consult valtteri bottas for giving up a victory that should have been his. it has been called britain's wingmen this season and even starting from pole, he helped him, moving his caraway even starting from pole, he helped him, moving his car away from sebastian vettel to give his mercedes team that —— thiem the benefit of his slipstream. this kept him ahead of his title rival but only until the pitstop. his miscalculation saw him return behind the ferrari but he wasn't there for long as he effectively retook second

place, taking the victory would prove more controversial. commentator: lewis to turn 13. we had a risk with lewis, we had to make sure we were secured this. when hamilton took the chequered flag, his advantage over sebastian vettel grew to 50 points. he was a real gentleman to let me by. it has been a great weekend for the team. the tea m a great weekend for the team. the team does an exceptionaljob to have this advantage over ferrari. i can understand how difficult it was for va ltteri understand how difficult it was for valtteri bottas. he did a fantastic job today and deserved to win. valtteri bottas. he did a fantastic job today and deserved to winm was the perfect day for mercedes but not also pollute —— not for valtteri bottas. it's a second win of the season for ac milan as they thrashed high flying sassuolo 4—1 to move into the top half of serie a.

spain's alejandro valverde sprinted to a dramatic victory in the men's road race at the uci world championships in austria to finally claim his long awaited first title. valverde, who had previously finished on the podium a record six times without winning, edged clear of a four—way sprint to take the rainbowjersey. the bbc‘sjill douglas was watching the action with chris boardman. well, we have come to the end of a spectacular week here at the uci world championships. beautiful sunshine than men's final race, won by va lverde sunshine than men's final race, won by valverde of spain. what a cracking race. so many times he has been close and never pulled it off. it was going to be his last shot at it, almost certainly. it was the relief that he atley created the opportunity at this time and managed to get it all the way there. —— that heady. it was the last couple of
1:53 am
kilometres, right, i have got myself into position. valverde covered the potential of anyone else to attack. this is why we like sport. it was a sprint in the end but still a big group of riders contesting all the way to the final hill climb. nearly eight kilometres long, the climb. we thought it would spin down a lot more than it did but because the gradient was steady, they were climbing at over 20 kilometres hour. you could slip —— sit in the slipstream and it enabled riders to stay. as the organisers hoped, it came down to the last three kilometres. the british team unable to get into the mix towards the end. they were in until the final kilometres. i think they've rode well. it is also who has got enough

motivation left, notjust physical form. to see him come back and get himself into the top 20, it's been good. a stunning week here and we will do it all again in yorkshire. finally, there were plenty of great goals scored across the european leagues this weekend but also a couple of own goal howlers as well so naturally we thought we'd highlight those for your enjoyment. first in germany — stuttgart‘s ron—robert zieler will not want to see this one again here he is adjusting his shin pads during their 2—1 win over werder bremen, then misjudging a throw—in from defender borna sosa. usually you can't score direct from a throw in but the replay shows the ball touching the goalkeepers boot, so notjust a cheeky assist but a full blown own goal for him // and jagos vukovic‘s calamitous own goal or powerful finish in the wrong goal if youre being kind, cost 0lympiacos the greek super league lead as paok claimed a 1—0 victory in piraeus on sunday to top the table. you can get all the latest

sports news at our website — that's bbc.com/sport. but from me, marc edwards, and the rest of the sport today team, goodbye. hello there. with plenty of showers around across the northern half of the uk yesterday and south—west england, we had a number of rainbows spotted by our weather watchers. this was one of these, from devon. thanks to gazzledazzle for sending that in. a few more showers around, but there will be some sunshine. but it will be a cold start. patchy frost in the countryside for scotland and northern england over the next few hours. if you're heading out, wrap up warm. just two or three degrees there for newcastle and for edinburgh. so a ridge of high pressure with us first thing on monday,
1:56 am
but we do have an approaching low. it will ultimately bring some rain from the north—west, so enjoy the sunshine first thing in the morning. they should be plenty of that to go around. it's probably going to be the sunniest day of the week ahead, to be honest. things will tend to cloud over from the north and west as the day goes by, and watch out for few showers continuing to feed into the irish sea coasts, perhaps into cheshire, greater manchester and merseyside, on and off through the day. we'll have more general rain pushing in the scotland and maybe northern ireland as we head through the afternoon, the winds picking up. relatively cool air with us, top temperatures about 15 degrees. but that cool air is moved away by this wodge of milder air as we go on to monday night and into tuesday. now, that's all associated with a warm sector, with the warmest of the air across england and wales on tuesday. this is how tuesday starts, a very mild note. temperatures 1a degrees or so to start the day in belfast. there will be rain or drizzle, especially around western coasts and hills, where it may well stay quite damp.
1:57 am
the cloud will break at times across eastern areas, to get some brighter or sunny spells. a warm day, actually, across south—east england, with highs of 20. we're still into the cool air in northern england, northern ireland and scotland. temperatures for these areas more typically around 12—14 degrees. another warm front moves into the uk on wednesday, again bringing more rain to the north—west of scotland. could be quite heavy at times. a lot of cloud, you'll notice, on the charts. still quite mild in the south, little change further north, temperatures around 12 or 13 celsius. what about thursday's weather prospect? well, again, a more active weather front moving into the north—western part of the country, so turning soggy for northern ireland and scotland, with some heavy rain. the winds picking up here. perhaps a little bit of rain getting across the hills of northern england and north wales. however, it should stay dry and bright in the south—east. highs of 19 in london. still quite cool, then, for northern scotland, with 12 in stornoway. so looking at the weather for the rest of this week, it's often going to be pretty cloudy. there will be some rain at times, particularly in the north—west, and it'll be quite breezy at times, too. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers
