Romeo wins Dauphine stage three to take yellow jersey

Getty Images

Ivan Romeo rode solo to victory on stage three of the Criterium du Dauphine to claim the yellow leader’s jersey.

The Movistar rider made a couple of attacks before going clear of a group of 10 riders with about 6km left in the 202.8km route from Brioude.

Mathieu van der Poel led the chase group, but they had left it too late and Romeo crossed the line first in Charantonnay, near Lyon, some 14 seconds ahead of Harold Tejada, Louis Barre and Florian Lipowitz.

“I don’t believe it,” said Romeo. “It was one of the toughest days of my life so far.

“The breakaway, it was so hard to get into it, and I wasn’t feeling really good, so I waited to the last moment.

“I know in this kind of flat finish in a small break, I have good instinct, and that if they give me some seconds I can make it.

“I had this stage on my mind for a month. We’ve been doing altitude [training] at Sierra Nevada, working super hard with all the team, and they gave me this chance at the beginning of the week.”

Romeo was the under-23 time trial champion at last year’s World Championships and Tuesday’s success means he has a 17-second lead in the Dauphine’s general classification standings heading into the time trial.

What is the secret to Arsenal’s WSL crowd success?

Getty Images

Arsenal’s attendances are the envy of women’s football – not just in England, or Europe, but around the world.

So successful have they been at building their fanbase over the last four years, they have now announced that all their Women’s Super League games will be held at the 60,704-capacity Emirates Stadium from next season.

To put their attendances into context, their average last season of nearly 29,000 is more than three times the team with the second highest average – Chelsea, who are the dominant force in the WSL.

‘Adopting horse racing techniques’

England captain and Arsenal defender Leah Williamson, minutes after leading the Lionesses to Euro 2022 success, made a rallying call live on the BBC: “The legacy of this tournament is a change in society. We have brought people together, brought people to games. We want people at WSL games.”

And Arsenal fans listened.

The club had already planned to trial games at the Emirates Stadium and eight weeks after that final at Wembley they hosted Tottenham, setting a new WSL record with 47,367 fans in attendance.

But it was not just capitalising on momentum from the Euros that helped Arsenal achieve that feat – and then do it again and again. Other WSL clubs have not seen the sustained growth that Arsenal have managed.

In December 2021, Arsenal appointed Julie Slot as their new chief commercial officer to oversee marketing, among other responsibilities.

She highlights three main factors as contributing to the club’s success:

Premier League football clubs are not used to having to work hard to try and market tickets – Arsenal’s men’s team have long been selling out the Emirates Stadium.

Slot brought her experience from working in horse racing and applied it to football.

“We’ve used a lot of test and learn marketing techniques around things I brought from racing,” she says.

“With horse racing you work hard to sell every ticket, and it’s more of an entertainment experience rather than a pure sports experience.”

One of those adopted from horse racing was tiered pricing – early-bird, general sale, and last chance – which rewards loyal supporters.

To encourage fans to come back, rather than just attend a one-off game, they also introduced packages allowing fans to buy tickets for all the games being held at the Emirates at a discounted rate.

Attracting new fans and more females

“It’s such fun marketing women’s football,” she adds. “I’m a woman and I love sport, but women’s football allows you to be really creative and really ambitious.

“Because we’ve got a stadium to sell, and we’re not ultimately selling out for every game, we’re thinking about who are all the communities we can reach and what are the campaigns that we can do with them, because we’ve got a lot of tickets to sell.

“So that goes back to that real ability to test and learn. As a marketer, there’s nothing better than testing something and seeing what works, and what doesn’t work.”

And key to everything has been the data they have gathered about the different people who come to their women’s games:

Another major aspect of their strategy is around pricing. Traditionally women’s football clubs would sometimes give away tickets to boost attendances – but then some of the recipients wouldn’t bother turning up.

Slot was adamant from the moment she joined that Arsenal would not be giving away tickets.

“It’s a really important positioning for the club because this is a professional football game and they are professional athletes and it’s a product we’re putting on,” she says.

Yet affordability is key to attracting new fans, and can partly explain why such a large proportion of supporters going to WSL games are experiencing the Emirates Stadium for the first time. Next season, early bird tickets will range from £13.50 to £18 for a standard adult ticket – significantly cheaper than to watch their male counterparts.

“Lots of people want an entertainment experience and, in London, finding that for a group of you is quite hard at an affordable price so when we were really pushing the tickets from a price [perspective] people think ‘oh, that’s actually something I can afford to do’,” explains Slot.

Having gone from averaging nearly 3,500 in Women’s Super League the season before England hosted Euro 2022, Arsenal grew that more than eight times to almost 30,000 in the space of two years.

That 2023-24 league season included two complete sell-outs as some 60,000 fans packed out the Emirates, which hosted six WSL matches and saw three league attendance records set in the process.

According to Slot, there are two key factors to getting a sell-out – holding matches at weekends at suitable times for families, and the opposition.

With many people attending a women’s football match for the first time, Slot says their context is the men’s game. So although a team like Tottenham are not one of the WSL’s big names, Arsenal built on their traditional rivalry, specifically targeting communities in north London.

“Their perception is that Arsenal-Spurs is a really big game and we built on that,” she says. The result – a record WSL attendance of 47,367 in 2022-23, a sell-out of 60,050 in 2023-24 and their highest attendance of the season of 56,784 in 2024-25.

Last season they increased the number of matches to nine at the Emirates but saw their average gate fall slightly to some 29,000.

Yet Slot is not perturbed. “I think we did really well last season,” she says. “The thing for me, is to maintain sustainable growth. So I would rather regularly have 29,000 than have one sell-out and then lots of 10,000s.

‘WSL clubs support each other’

Success off the pitch has not been dependent on success on it, with Arsenal having gone six years without winning the WSL title, although they did end this campaign in spectacular style by becoming European champions.

The like of WSL giants Chelsea, who have been the dominant force in the WSL for the last six years must cast their eye enviously across London at the Gunners’ off-pitch growth. The Blues held just three of their matches at Stamford Bridge last season compared to four the previous year.

“We haven’t been successful just through luck, I would say this has been a clear, strategic objective by the club,” says Slot.

“We used a moment (Euro 2022), but we’ve also been very agile in our approach.”

However, she is keen to share as much as she can with other WSL clubs, adding “there’s a real openness in the WSL”.

“We all have an ambition to build the women’s game and promote it and to support each other,” she adds.

Chelsea have £42m Gittens bid rejected by Dortmund

  • 77 Comments

Chelsea have had an offer worth more than £42m for English winger Jamie Gittens rejected by Borussia Dortmund.

The 20-year-old already has a seven-year contract on the table and is thought to be keen on a move to Stamford Bridge.

But the two clubs are struggling to meet in the middle on their valuation despite the England Under-21s international not fitting into the system of manager Niko Kovac, who joined the German club in February.

The latest rejection casts doubt over whether Gittens will join Chelsea in time to take part in the Club World Cup, with a first transfer deadline for the competition approaching on Tuesday evening.

The Blues were also interested in signing AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan but have opted to walk away over a difference in valuation.

Milan have been asking for £25m for the France international with just one year remaining on his current deal, but Chelsea value Maignan, who turns 30 next month, at about half that.

Gittens came through Manchester City’s academy before joining Dortmund in 2020. He made his Bundesliga debut two years later, and last season scored eight goals in 32 league appearances.

McIlroy Masters win inspiring Lowry to ‘kick on’

To play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.

Shane Lowry is hoping Rory McIlroy’s career Grand Slam triumph will ignite his own quest for further major success at the 2025 US Open this week.

Lowry, who won the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, wants to draw motivation from his close friend’s resilience.

He is aiming to capture his second major title on a course where he nearly triumphed in 2016.

“I have never been more jealous, or more happy, of anyone in my whole life of watching what Rory did at the Masters,” Lowry told BBC Sport NI.

“I think it’s incredible, for everyone, for him, for Irish golf, for everyone around him. It just puts fire in my belly to kick on and be better than I have been.

Oakmont ‘less daunting than other courses we play’

Lowry and McIlroy played nine holes together on Wednesday morning to prepare for the start of the tournament on Thursday.

They have been paired together for the opening two rounds at Oakmont, along with fellow European Ryder Cup player, and former US Open Champion Justin Rose.

“We are also practicing with each other again tomorrow so we will be sick of the sight of each other by Friday!” joked Lowry.

“Hopefully we can both play well and give ourselves a run at the weekend. The last few times I have played with Rory I have played pretty good. I played the first two rounds of Bay Hill this year, I was well up there.

“I love playing with Rory, and with Justin we have a great group and everyone gets on well, but when you are out there there’s not too much chit-chat – it’s not much fun, but it will be nice with familiar faces.”

Lowry’s form this season has been impressive, finishing runner up twice on the PGA Tour and surging to a career best 10th place in the world rankings.

Currently ranked 12th, his US Open pedigree is also undeniable. At Oakmont in 2016, he surged to a four-shot lead entering the final round, only to stumble with a Sunday round of 76, finishing tied for second behind Dustin Johnson.

He also tied ninth at Chambers Bay in 2015, further underlining his ability to challenge on the US Open’s renowned gruelling set-ups.

Oakmont has tight fairways, penal rough, and lightning-fast greens which many believe make it the world’s toughest golf course and the ultimate US Open venue – but Lowry is buzzing with anticipation.

“It’s mentally going to be very difficult,” added Lowry.

“I think for me, on the eye, it’s less daunting than other courses we play. There’s not much trouble other than rough and the greens, there are not many hazards, you are not standing on many tee boxes with water hazards down the fairways or coming into greens.
