TOM AND MATT GOOD AS GOLD

WORLD SERIES IN LONDON MOTOGP ACTION FROM LE MANS

TOM DALEY and Matthew Lee won World Diving Series gold in the men’s 10m synchronised platform at the London Aquatics Centre.

The British pair, who won bronze in the event in Kazan last week, turned on the style in front of their home crowd to win with an impressive total of 477.90 points.

For their final dive they were awarded 104.34 points, including a perfect 10. They came joint second in the overall World Series rankings, level on 108 points with Russia and 24 behind champions China.

Katherine Torrance and Grace Reid won silver in the women’s 3m synchronised behind Russian pair Mariia Poliakova and Kristina Ilinykh.

Eden Cheng and Lois Toulson won bronze in the women’s 10m synchronised platform, as did Jack Laugher and Daniel Goodfellow in the men’s 3m synchronised.

MAVERICK’S ON TRACK

MAVERICK VINALES took charge at Le Mans yesterday, posting the quickest lap ahead of tomorrow’s French MotoGP.

The Spaniard was two tenths of a second quicker than championship leader Marc Marquez in 1min 31.428sec.

Local hero, rookie Fabio Quartararo, ended the day third.

“This is a track I really like and I think we can be at least on the podium,” said Viñales (right), who won here two years ago.

“I don’t know if it masks the weakness of the bike but I know I always feel really good at this track. I can always give a little bit more here. This is a track where I can be back at the top.”

Britain’s Cal Crutchlow faces a battle through first qualifying today to land a good grid spot.
