The “2024 Road and Para-Cycling Road World Championships” began at the weekend and runs until Sunday in Zurich.

The competition has drawn approximately 1,300 riders from more than 75 countries, including Ireland of course. – Eurosport & BBC, Sep 21st-29th
The 2024 Presidents Cup takes place at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada this week. The Ryder Cup-style tournament features men’s teams representing the United States and the Rest of the World (not including Europe). The US has dominated the 14 competitions to date (the score is 12 wins to one, with one draw). With players of the quality of Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele on the US squad, their winning streak is likely to reach 10 in a row by the end of the weekend. – Sky Sports, Sep 26th-29th
Bayer Leverkusen didn’t just win the Bundesliga last season – they went the entire league unbeaten, ending the dominance of Bayern Munich, who had claimed the previous 11 titles. The Munich side – which includes Harry Kane in its ranks of course – has been waiting impatiently for the new season, and particularly for the reigning champions to arrive at Allianz Arena. Both sides will be anxious to lay down an early marker for the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign. – Sky Sports, Saturday
