Final Weekend

What this episode covers

Live at Wimbledon ahead of the Women's final and preview Sunday's Cricket World Cup final. We also head live to the Netball World Cup on it's opening weekend and meet the man who hitchhiked the length of Africa to cheer on his team at the Africa Cup of Nations, and ended up staying in the team hotel!Plus we ride the route of the unusual stage 12 of the Tour De France. The race is famous for being set against the backdrop of impossibly beautiful villages and medieval city centers and picturesque French countryside... In fact it was originally set up to promote France as a vacation destination. So Stage 12 on Wednesday is likely to come as a bit of shock. The race is starting among the crumbling tower blocks of a gritty housing estate in Toulouse - more used to making the headlines for urban violence and stark poverty. Chris Bockman reports from southern France, tour organizers were persuaded by local residents that they deserved to be the limelight too.Photo: The Venus Rosewater Dish trophy for winning the Women's Singles Final at the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship.
