Rest Day Podcast on the footsteps of the Giant of Provence : Le Mont Ventoux

In the latest SBS Cycling Podcast, hosts Christophe and Macka take us through the second rest day of the Tour de France, set in scenic Provence. They paint a vivid picture of the race's setting, capturing the European summer atmosphere while analysing early standout performances. Tadej Pogačar impresses with his dominance and composure, even after a crash, while Mathieu van der Poel draws attention with his distinctive and aggressive racing style. A major focus of the episode is the role of domestiques — the often-overlooked riders who sacrifice their own chances to support team leaders. Grace Brown pays tribute to these unsung heroes, and the hosts reflect on how teamwork and selflessness are at the heart of any Tour success.

A-list actor and much younger model girlfriend strip off in St Tropez

Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio has been spotted holidaying on a yacht in St Tropez with his Italian model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti. DiCaprio, 50, and Ceretti, 27, stripped off to enjoy the sunshine, as shown in these candid photos. They were seen at sea among a close group of friends including Italian businessman Tommaso Buti. The pair have been dating for at least the past couple of years – back in September 2023, they were spotted making out in a dark Ibiza club at 4.30am. While they've largely stayed silent about their 23-year age-gap romance, Ceretti did give some rare insight into dating one of the world's most famous actors in a recent interview with Vogue France. When asked if she believes there's a 'risk' in being labelled DiCaprio's 'girlfriend,' she replied, 'Yes.' 'As soon as you're in a relationship with someone who has a larger following than you, you become 'girlfriend of' – or 'boyfriend of,' for that matter. And that can be extremely annoying,' she told the mag. 'Suddenly, people are talking about you as so-and-so's girlfriend who was so-and-so's ex. So, it's not nice to think that you can't love whoever you want, because of the labels people need to stick on you.' While being a public figure comes with its perks, it also has its drawbacks. She revealed what it's like having ties with 'one of the most desired people in the world.' 'It's something you learn. If what you're experiencing is real, if you know you love each other, then there's no reason to be alarmed. Because love protects and gives confidence,' she remarked. In the same interview, Ceretti said she 'preferred not to go into details' about when she first met the famous actor, who has had a string of twenty-something girlfriends throughout his career. DiCaprio's famous exes include models such as Camila Morrone, Gigi Hadid, Gisele Bündchen, Bar Refaeli, Nina Agdal and more. Meanwhile, Ceretti married DJ Matteo Milleri in 2020. They split three years later.

Margot Robbie and husband Tom Ackerley share intimate balcony kiss on Italian getaway

Margot Robbie and her husband, Tom Ackerley, were spotted putting on a loved-up display during a romantic getaway in Italy. The couple – who welcomed their first baby together in November – were seen sharing a sweet moment on the balcony of the Grand Hotel Parker's in Naples over the weekend. In the intimate photos, Robbie could be seen taking a sip from an Acqua Panna glass water bottle as she took in the picturesque views. The 35-year-old looked stunning in a strapless mini dress made from a vintage print tapestry by designer Kristin Mallison. The Barbie star was later joined on the balcony by Ackerley, her husband of almost 10 years who is also the co-founder of their production company, LuckyChap Entertainment. Ackerley, also 35, was seen wrapping his arms around Robbie, while planting a tender kiss on her head as she relaxed on the balcony. Before arriving in Italy, the couple visited their old stomping ground in London, where they once lived in a four-bedroom share house in Clapham with five other friends back in 2014. On their recent London visit, Robbie reportedly shouted an entire restaurant a round of cocktails. The star dined at the Australian restaurant Bondi Green in London with Ackerley and their friends last week, with the generous Hollywood star treating 100 lucky diners to a cocktail made from her own gin, Papa Salt. 'Margot, her husband and friends were having a wonderful time and couldn't get enough of the classic Aussie cuisine on offer which must have been a taste of home,' one diner said, as per The Canberra Times. 'They enjoyed a few rounds of cocktails and even shouted everyone in the restaurant a cocktail made from her gin including her signature serve – Papa Salt with ice, soda, a large slice of a fresh orange and black pepper.' Robbie's holiday comes amid a busy year for the former Neighbours star. Since returning from a much-needed hiatus after the Barbie film and jam-packed press tour, and taking some time away to be with her baby boy, Robbie has now worked on back-to-back projects. She recently wrapped production on the much-anticipated Wuthering Heights adaptation, which also stars fellow Australian Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff. And she also filmed the fantasy rom-com A Big Bold Beautiful Journey.
