McLaren’s Norris left
shaken by Hubert death
Lando Norris has admitted the death
of Anthoine Hubert last week had an
impact that still aff ects the McLaren
driver and his family. Norris also
conceded that even his confi dence
in reassuring his mother and father
as to his safety had been shaken.
Hubert was killed in a high-speed
accident during an F2 race last
Saturday. Soon afterwards Norris,
who is only 19 and in his rookie
season in F1, said the incident had
left him shaken. As he prepared for
the Italian Grand Prix this weekend,
he revealed how hard it had hit him
and particularly his father, Adam,
who attends every race. “He said he
felt very sick, had to go to the toilet,
be a bit sick,” the British driver said
of his father. “He can’t even watch
the TV on a normal race. He has to
go somewhere and hide because
he just doesn’t want to see ...”

Gilbert takes stage but
Roglic maintains lead
Philippe Gilbert powered to victory
on stage 12 of the Vuelta a España,
while the race leader, Primoz
Roglic, retained the red jersey. The
Deceuninck-Quick -Step rider Gilbert
broke away on the last of three steep
third-category climbs before holding
off the chasers during a dramatic
descent into Bilbao. Roglic and
his title rivals crossed among the
peloton, 3min 2sec adrift of Gilbert.
The Slovenian remains 1min 52sec
ahead of the Spaniard Alejandro
Valverde (Movistar) at the top of the

Johnson set for autumn
return after knee surgery
Dustin Johnson, the former world
No 1, has undergone surgery to
repair cartilage damage in his left
knee. Johnson, who has slipped to
third in the rankings after a poor
fi nish to the PGA Tour season,
underwent an arthroscopic
procedure in Florida yesterday.
“He is now resting comfortably and
is expected to make a full recovery
before returning to competition later
this fall,” Johnson’s agent, David
Winkle, said. PA Media

Geraghty on track
to be back in October
Barry Geraghty, who broke his
leg in a fall at the Grand National
meeting at Aintree in April, says
he expects to return to the saddle
in October. “I saw my surgeon
yesterday and he’s pleased with the
progress,” the jockey said. “ I should
be in good shape to start back in
early October.” Greg Wood

Trueman show keeps Castleford
on course for play-off place
Jake Trueman celebrated his first
call-up to the Great Britain train-on
squad by cutting through Hull FC and
serving a reminder of the talent he pos-
sesses in abundance.
Only time will tell if this remarkable
individual display, in which Castle-
ford’s 20-year-old half-back scored a
wonderful hat-trick, will be enough to
ensure a play-off place for the Tigers.
But on a night where he and his team-
mates needed a result to keep their
season alive, the manner in which
he led his team around the park to
devastating eff ect will have made for
interesting viewing for Wayne Bennett
and his Lions coaching staff.
Castleford were in control through-
out the majority of this play-off show-
down, thanks to an insipid display
from Hull, who fall out of the play-off s
with just one game remaining. After
Hull now have the unenviable
task of beating the runaway Super
League leaders, St Helens, on the
fi nal weekend to stand any chance
of making the play-off s. Having been
inside the top fi ve for most of the
season, the nature of this late-season
collapse from the will be of grave con-
cern to Lee Radford, who had prom-
ised his side would respond positively
to their defeat in the Challenge Cup
semi-fi nals in July. Instead, they have
all but collapsed. Masi Matongo’s try
11 minutes from half-time here off ered
the briefest fl icker of hope, but that
was fi rmly extinguished shortly after
the restart when Trueman fooled Jake
Connor with a wonderful dummy to
stroll over and complete his hat-trick.
The one criticism of this Castleford
side is that they perhaps lack an ele-
ment of composure the other sides
in the race for Old Traff ord possess,
underlined by the 10-minute period
in which Hull were down to 12 men.
The sin-binning of Shaul looked as
though it would open the fl oodgates,
but instead, the only points came
courtesy of the visitors, who scored
a breakaway try from Jack Logan.
However, Castleford soon rediscov-
ered their touch and fi nished much
the stronger of the two sides.
For once, Trueman was not
involved when the Tigers scored their
fi fth try, as Ellis and Jordan Rankin
combined to send James Clare over
in the corner. The half-back was again
involved shortly after, however, as his
inch-perfect kick found Rankin, before
Matt Cook ensured it is Castleford, not
Hull, who are in pole position to claim
a play-off place. If they do make it , this
result – and performance from True-
man – will be remembered as crucial.

▲** Cheyse Blair scores the fi rst try for
the Tigers in their 44-12 win over Hull
ED SYKES/ACTION IMAGES
25 one-sided minutes, the hosts had
established a 20-0 lead which Hull
never seemed likely to overturn.
Cheyse Blair’s fi rst try for Castleford
broke the deadlock after eight minutes
after a wonderful cut-out pass from
Trueman, before the stand-off added
back-to-back scores for himself soon
after. Trueman stepped through the
Hull line to double Castleford’s lead
before rounding Jamie Shaul in expert
fashion six minutes later. Jamie Ellis
converted all three tries, before adding
a penalty soon after.
