Barnard, though, insisted Varnish was still not in possession of any data which would support that conclusion. “They’ve given us something like 40 million data points but it is unintelligible,” he said. “It should be demonstrable, surely? The obvious inference is they don’t have any data to support their decision.

Chase Elliott is on the clock. In the last 10 months, young NASCAR Cup series drivers Chris Buescher, Kyle Larson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Austin Dillon and Ryan Blaney have picked up their first career victories.

NASCAR driver Danica Patrick made a tough season tougher when video of her calling out – complete with the “f” word – some fans who had booed her went viral over the weekend. Patrick, whose words stirred up fans and media, offered her side of the incident for the first time Wednesday. But Cup Series driver Dale Earnhardt suggests that Patrick should see talking with fans while signing autographs as…

The authors of a much-delayed report into the culture of British Cycling insisted it was not a “whitewash” despite the findings seemingly being heavily diluted from a leaked draft copy. The independent review, ordered following claims of discrimination and bullying made by the sprint cyclist Jess Varnish, remains grim reading for the governing body.
