cyclist tao geoghegan hart. he started the giro ditalia as a support rider for team leader geraint thomas. he ends as champion, just the second british rider to win the race. it was set up to be a dramatic final day with the british rider tied for the lead heading into the final stage, today's times trial. as drew savage reports. he started as a team—mate for geraint thomas. tao geoghegan hart's reward for three weeks of hard riding. but what finished in milan today, started on the mall in london in 2010. when dave brailsford launched a british road cycling team built around olympic track stars like bradley wiggins, a 14—year—old geoghegan hart bunked off school to ride with them. ten years later, what was team sky is now the ineos grenadiers... and geoghegan hart was starting the 21st and final stage of italy's grand tour
6:37 pm
in second place. he just needed to beat australia's jai hindley, the man in the leader's pinkjersey, in the final ten—mile time trial.the 25—year—old from east london had stepped up after his team leader geraint thomas crashed out on stage 3. racing his way into contetion, picking up two stage wins and here he was, outpacing the man in the maglia rosa tojoin wiggins, thomas, chris froome and simon yates in the history books, the five british riders who've won cycling's grand tours. so how does it feel? bizarre, to be honest. yeah. not in my wildest dreams did i imagine that this would be possible when we started almost a month ago in sicily. ten years and thousands of miles of hard work of paid off. tao geoghegan hart has learned his place. the next chapter of british cycling success. it was geraint thomas who was
6:38 pm
the picked as the teams lead rider. but after a crash forced him out of the race. there was still plenty for teo geoghan hart to do to to become a contender. as grigor brown from flow sports, who's been covering the race told me earlier. initially, we had geraint thomas as the team can be in. things change quickly, he obviously crashed on a water bottle and things had to change. they won seven stages by my last count and tao geoghegan hart has now won the overall and i think he becomes the first rider in history to ever win a grand tour without actually ever racing in the leadersjersey so without actually ever racing in the leaders jersey so historical win without actually ever racing in the leadersjersey so historical win by this londoner who, remember, went to the team sky launch ahead of the 2010 season just as a fan to see that steam launch and he has been one of the guys that they... it has
6:39 pm
been a remarkable rise for him. what next for tao geoghegan hart? because a lot of people will be talking about the success and expect him to build on it. that's a good question. they have a loaded roster of riders to choose from. what this is shown, not just a to choose from. what this is shown, notjust a tao geoghegan hart, but for other riders, like guy hindley is that we have this young generation coming through and that is great for cycling. it gave them a chance because riders like thomas crashed out and other riders went home with coronavirus, so it gives these guys a chance to shine and has led to these questions like, yes, what is next to tao geoghegan hart? my what is next to tao geoghegan hart? my guess, it is such a stacked roster, they would probably send him back next year because... chomping at the bit trying to win after 2019.
6:40 pm
and there's been more for ineos grenadiers to celebrate over in spain at the vuelta a espana where richard carapaz has taken the overall lead. spain's ion izagirre won stage six, but further back carapaz managed to get away from defending champion primoz roglic who'd lead the race from the beginning. carapaz now has an eight second lead over britain's hugh carthy. in the premier league, there was a first league defeat of the season for everton. manager carlo ancelotti questioning the integrity of the officials after defender lucas digne was sent off. we'll hearfrom him in a moment. how to explain a season so far? the reason for everton‘s brilliant starter simple to distinguish. dominic calvet lewin is one of england's strikers. but the
6:41 pm
shortcoming at the back are just as obvious. james ward prowse highlighted that with ease. jordan pickford's decision making in the everton goal has been in the spotlight recently. there was little he could do about southampton‘s second from che adams, though. deflection rather than power getting the better of him this time. aspirations of a comeback for the visitors were over when were reduced to ten men. the refereejudging this from lucas digne a straight red. so, everton‘s unbeaten start to the everton's unbeaten start to the season everton's unbeaten start to the seasonis everton's unbeaten start to the season is at an end, with their influential forward barely touching the ball all match. the explanation for this scoreline then perhaps easier to pinpoint. and manager carlo ancellotti called that red card a joke and suggested the officials were making amends for not sending off richarlison orjordan pickford in the merseyside derby last weekend. that's a red card was a joke, i think that, i don't know why, i
6:42 pm
don't know why. maybe the fact that there were a lot of talk about pickford, richarlison, iguess liverpool affected the decision because i think everyone knows that it was not a red card. but we are going to appeal. i think to lose a player like lucas digne for this for three games is not fair. you can feel that the game plan was working and the guys were really sticking to it. the beautiful games we scored, but chances in the first half, maybe one of the best first halves and the second half, also after... not so easy mentally to stay focused and have good game balance. also in possession, one of our best game so far. in the second game of the day in the premier league newcastle rescued a late point, drawing 1—1 with wolves. after a largely forgettable first half, rauljimenez put wolves ahead with a terrific strike.
6:43 pm
that's his second in consecutive matches. it looked like that would be the winner until with two minutes remaining jacob murphy sneaked in a free kick for an equaliser. arsenal and leicester are the late game. and there was huge drama in the scottish premiership as champions celtic were held to a 3—3 draw at aberdeen. a penalty in injury time securing a point for the home side. as adam wild reports. planning and plotting, celtic desperate to avoid a third consecutive defeat. and while they dominated, it was aberdeen who led at half—time. lewis ferguson with a penalty. struggling to see the bright side, still chances would inevitably come. a terrific run from callu m inevitably come. a terrific run from callum mcgregor, a superfinish and celtic deservedly levelled. but it's at the back where the champions appear uncharacteristically fragile.
6:44 pm
shane duffy's error gave them another chance, eventually bundled in by ryan hedges. time for reinforcements, leigh griffiths summoned from the bench and within moments, he had another equaliser, another excellent celtic goal. the game looked or turned decisively when just two minutes later, ryan christie put celtic ahead in the first time. at second of the games to go, careless celtic foot, yet another penalty, lewis ferguson making it three all. the sides meet again ina making it three all. the sides meet again in a cup next week. if there is half the drama, there'll be plenty to look to. rangers have extended their lead at the top to six points with victory over livingstone this afternoon. jermain defoe with one of their goals in a 2—0 win. spanish riderjoan mir extended his lead in the motogp championship, despite only finishing third at the teruel grand prix. franco morbidelli won the race at the motorland circuit in aragon in spain ahead of alex rins.
6:45 pm
third was enough to move mir 1a points clear in the standings. british riders cal crutchlow and bradley smith were eleventh and fifteenth. pole sitter takaki nakagami crashed out on the opening lap. scotland staged a remarkable fightback to salvage a draw against france in the women's six nations. a result which hands england the championship with one round of matches still to play. they were 13 — three down at one stage before this late try from rachael shankland helped them to a draw. france needed a win to take the title to the final weekend, england now six points clear and cant be caught ehading into their final match with italy next sunday. we started with british success and we're ending with some as well. never to be outdone, ben stokes was back to his brilliant best in the indian premier league. the england all—rounder made a superb unbeaten
