Birth(day)s, deaths and marriages! Welcome to the evening edition of your local newspaper. Thankfully cycling content is a-plenty as Chris, David and Gary cast their eyes over another fascinating few weeks in pro cycling.

📸 The Dauphiné Libéré (okay, the Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes, if you must) is often seen as a Tour de France indicator, yet in 78 editions only 12 Dauphiné winners have taken the Maillot Jaune in July. The first was Louison Bobet, pictured embracing first wife Christiane after the 1955 finish in Grenoble. Already a two-time Tour winner, Bobet later earned praise from race founder Georges Cazeneuve for “haloing the race with prestige”. (Photo: Dauphine Libéré)
