SPEEDWAY: Sam Gilkes top-scored with 13 points riding at number five and captain Max Fricke weighed in with 9+2 as Leicester won 49-41 at Oxford Spires on Monday afternoon.

The Spires have lost all four of their Premiership matches this season. The wet bank holiday weather prevented the return meeting from taking place in Leicester and also washed out both legs of the double-header between Birmingham and Belle Vue.

CYCLING: Aberystwyth-born Stephen Williams will be defending his Fleche-Wallone Ardennes one-day classic title when the race rolls out of the Belgian city of Ciney tomorrow afternoon.
