WHITE VAN LE MANS Peugeot E-Expert Sport is a spacious, speedy modern van that's fun to drive… and it even fits in at Le Mans
THE 24 Hours of Le Mans car park. Every supercar you can think of.
Plus moi, in a white van.

Peugeot's E-Expert Sport gets bold styling and 9X8-inspired touches – but no power boost

At least I had a top view sat on the roof.
Peugeot hasn't added any performance to the new E-Expert Sport. It's the standard 136hp with a 219-mile battery.
But it does get a special body kit, Y-spoke 18in alloys, and Kryptonite Green detailing inspired by Peugeot's 9X8 race car.
This is the 'Crew Van' version with tons of space for you and five mates to cross the Channel with all your camping gear.
Just one pit stop required to get from Dover to the track, sucking up 80 per cent charge in just 45 minutes. Not bad.
What's it like to drive?
Not as fast as a Le Mans hypercar, obviously. But it's no slouch either. It's fun, with purposeful steering and paddle shifts to control the regenerative braking.
Just bang it in sports mode and pretend you're heading down the Mulsanne Straight at top speed – rather than a French autoroute.
More importantly, on a road trip, it has all the creature comforts you'd expect from a modern van including a 10in touchscreen that talks to your phone, dual-zone climate control, wireless phone charging and even a heated leather steering wheel.
Which you definitely don't get in a World Endurance Championship car.

There's more of Superman's least favourite colour in here, as well as Sport logos in the 'eco-leather' seats which are colourfast, scratchproof and tear-resistant, not to mention 'moisture regulating and acid and alkali resistant'.
Given how terrifying it must be driving through the night at Le Mans, it sounds like the sort of stuff they should make racesuits out of.
It didn't have a place in the race, but the new E-Expert Sport looked every bit as cool as the race-winning Ferrari, and costs a lot less at £41,295 (ex VAT).

Falakeyah putting mile credentials to the test against Zarigana

The Owen Burrows-trained Falakeyah looked every inch a top-class filly in the making when dominating her rivals in the 10-furlong Pretty Polly at Newmarket, after which the Betfred Oaks at Epsom and the French equivalent were mooted as potential Classic targets. However, with connections ultimately deciding against stepping up to a mile and a half at Epsom and the Prix de Diane also ruled out, the daughter of New Bay will instead drop back to a mile on the penultimate day of the Royal meeting after being supplemented for the Coronation at a cost of £46,000. This is eyecatching 👀 FALAKEYAH follows in the footsteps of future Oaks winner Taghrooda winning the @Betfred Pretty Polly Stakes in sparkling fashion ✨ — Newmarket Racecourse (@NewmarketRace) May 4, 2025 Angus Gold, racing manager for owner-breeders Shadwell, said: 'It was a hard decision to supplement, just because of the amount of money involved. I just felt when the entries for the race closed we'd be looking at a mile and a quarter at least for her given she had won over an extended mile on her debut. 'I said to Owen I was just trying to save money and that there was no point even entering her if we thought she was going to be running over further.' While Gold admits to having doubts about how effective Falakeyah will be dropping back in trip, he is taking some confidence from the feedback of Shadwell's retained rider Jim Crowley. 'To Jim's credit, he kept saying every time he sat on her that she had a lot of speed and his first words to me having got off her at Newmarket were 'she'd have killed them over a mile'. He thought she'd have gone close in the Guineas had she run in that, so I had to take notice,' Gold added. 'Unfortunately we were going for the Prix de Diane but then she had a hold-up and we ran out of time. They now feel she's back to her best. 'We could have waited a month for the Falmouth but as she's well we've taken the chance. 'She likes to get on with things so that is probably contributing to the fact she looks like she's got a lot of speed. 'It's only her third race so we're still learning and I couldn't put my hand on my heart and say she's definitely a miler, but she has plenty of speed and we felt after discussing it this was worth a try.' The trip is of no concern to French raider Zarigana, who has won four of her five starts for Francis-Henri Graffard in the colours of the late Aga Khan. Breaking: The French 1000 Guineas appeal has been dismissed and Zarigana keeps the race over Shes Perfect — At The Races (@AtTheRaces) May 21, 2025 She was most recently awarded the French 1000 Guineas in the stewards' room after first past the post Shes Perfect was deemed to have caused sufficient interference for the placings to be revised – and while connections are hoping for a bold showing in Berkshire, they are taking nothing for granted. Nemone Routh, manager for the Aga Khan's French studs, said: 'Zarigana worked well last week, she's in good form and we've been very happy with her since the Pouliches. 'It is a competitive race and it's the first time she'll have to travel abroad and she can have moments where she gets quite worked up. It looks like it's going to be very hot as well, but she's got to get through all that as part of the test of being a Group One filly. 'She's very consistent – she's won four of her starts and was beaten a nose in the other one. This is a big test for her and she's got to maintain that form and hold it all together in the preliminaries and have luck in running and everything else. 'If there's any weakness it will be found out, but we're happy with her preparation and while she goes on anything, she's probably better on fast ground.' Further strength in depth is added by Aidan O'Brien's Exactly, who was little over a length behind Zarigana when fourth in the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches last month, while the also-supplemented Kon Tiki puts her unbeaten record on the line for Jane Chapple-Hyam.

Jacob Fearnley reaches first ATP Tour-level quarter-final at Queen's

Jacob Fearnley dished out another French lesson as he reached a first career ATP Tour-level quarter-final at Queen's Club. The British number two beat volatile qualifier Corentin Moutet 6-3 2-6 6-2 at the HSBC Championships. In doing so, Fearnley extended his remarkable, perfect record against French players to 17 wins from 17 matches. It's a HUGE win for @jakefearnley01!!! 🔥 The Brit charges into his first @atptour quarter-final in style #BackTheBrits 🇬🇧 | #HSBCChampionships — LTA (@the_LTA) June 19, 2025 He said: 'I'm very happy to be in my first quarter-final, it's even better to do it here in the UK. It's really special for me, I've dreamed of these moments since I was a young boy. 'I tried to stick to my game plan and be aggressive. I did that better in the third set and the result speaks for itself.' Fearnley wrapped up a controlled first set with a double-ace finish, while madcap Moutet got a ticking-off from umpire Adel Nour for chucking his racket. However, the momentum shifted quickly when three double-faults from the home player gave Moutet an early break in the second. But Fearnley reset well in the decider, breaking Moutet with a backhand winner down the line, prompting the fiery 26-year-old to whack a ball high over the stands and earn a long-overdue warning from the chair. A diving backhand volley secured a double break and Fearnley kept his head as Moutet lost his – bickering with the umpire and the crowd – to wrap up victory in just over two hours. Fearnley will play a fellow 23-year-old, Czech world number 30 Jiri Lehecka, in the last eight. Top seed and 2023 winner Carlos Alcaraz escaped from being a break down in a deciding set to win the all-Spanish clash with Jaume Munar. When the match is so long it feels like you're playing on clay 🧱🤣 @carlosalcaraz #HSBCChampionships — Tennis TV (@TennisTV) June 19, 2025 The five-time grand slam champion, 22, squandered two match points in a second-set tie-break and then fell 4-2 behind in the third. But on the hottest day of the year, with temperatures hitting 32C in west London, Alcaraz kept his cool to win 6-4 6-7 (7) 7-5 after three hours and 23 energy-sapping minutes. It was two hours shorter than his five-set French Open final win over Jannik Sinner earlier this month, and Alcaraz wrote on the TV camera lens 'Were we on clay?' After a 15th straight win, the longest winning run of his career so far, a near-exhausted Alcaraz admitted: 'It was a really tough battle. 'He's a great competitor. I'm proud of how I played today. I struggled mentally and physically. Very proud and happy to give myself another chance to be in the quarter-final.'

Donnarumma issues update on PSG future as Man Utd lurk after private talks

Manchester United had been eyeing a summer move for Gianluigi Donnarumma, with the Italian keeper entering the final year of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain Gianluigi Donnarumma is confident he will sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain as he confirmed his agent remains locked in talks with the French champions. Donnarumma arrived at the Parc des Princes in 2021. He has enjoyed a highly-successful spell in the French capital since then, winning 10 major trophies. The Italian was a key member of the team which won the treble this season, storming to the Ligue 1 title, beating Reims in the Coupe de France final and smashing Inter Milan in the Champions League final. ‌ Despite his importance to Luis Enrique's side and his standing as one of the world's top keepers, the 26-year-old's contract is set to expire next summer. That has led to growing uncertainty over his future in the French capital. ‌ That uncertainty has attracted the eye of a number of suitors, including Manchester United. The Red Devils are looking for a new keeper this summer following the abject performance of Andre Onana. Onana kept just nine clean sheets in the Premier League last season, frequently drawing criticism. Donnarumma emerged as a potential replacement for the Cameroon international earlier this summer. But in a fresh blow to United boss Ruben Amorim, Donnarumma has confirmed that talks are progressing. He also insisted that he had full faith in his agent to get a deal done while he focused on the Club World Cup. "Yes, we are moving forward. My agent is talking to the club. I am focused on the match and the trophy, but we have no problems," he said ahead of PSG's clash with Botafogo. "I always give 100 percent for this club and the supporters, it's a club that has given me everything, playing for PSG is incredible. The Club World Cup is a very important competition for us. ‌ "We must continue to remain 100 per cent focused to reach the final and the trophy. Everyone is hungry for victories, to win titles; it's important for now and for next year.' The chance to sign Donnarumma would be too good to turn down for United. The Italian was player of the tournament as his country won Euro 2020, just before his move to PSG. According L'Equipe, he keeper has already had private talks with his international team-mates about a potential move to the Premier League. But earlier this month, Donnarumma made it clear he wanted to remain in Paris. "My priority is to stay at PSG, I don't think there will be any problems in the negotiations," he told Sky Sports Italia after Italy beat Moldova in a World Cup qualifier. "We're a great team."
