Tadej Pogacar is still the king of the Tour. The 27-year-old won stage six of the Tour de France by crushing his rivals on the Col du Tourmalet. He reclaimed the yellow jersey with a 2-minute, 42-second lead over Jonas Vingegaard.
In tennis, the Wimbledon women’s final will be an all-Czech affair between Linda Noskova and Karolína Muchova, a source of great pride for a country of just 10 million inhabitants.
