The Agenda: Sarah Storey rides again and the Davis Cup decider

The gold-medal winner from Rio is on track, Argentina and Croatia on court and Gareth Southgate goes for the England job

STOREY BACK IN THE SADDLE

After three gold medals in Rio took her total to 14, making her the most successful Paralympian of the modern era, Sarah Storey returns to the track in the Revolution Cycling Champions League. She took the C5 individual pursuit, the road time trial and the C4-5 road race this summer and makes her first appearance since then at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester in the series that pits members of the world’s biggest WorldTour road teams against established track champions. It takes place on Friday and Saturday (the latter live on Eurosport, 6.30pm) and also competing are Amalie Dideriksen, the World Road Race Champion and Great Britain’s Emily Kay who won gold and silver in the Omnium at recent UCI World Cup events.

ENGLAND INTERVIEW

Best suit pressed, Gareth Southgate puts his case to be the next England manager on Monday. Southgate, who has been in charge for four games now, will be interviewed at St George’s Park by a panel that will include the FA chair Greg Clarke, Martin Glenn, the chief executive, technical director Dan Ashworth, League Managers’ Association chairman Howard Wilkinson and former England defender Graeme Le Saux. Southgate, who has victories against Malta and Scotland a draw with Slovenia under his belt in England’s world cup qualifiers that has put them top of the group and secured a 2-2 draw with Spain last week, is currently the the only candidate scheduled to be interviewed and the final decisi on will be made by Clarke, Glenn and Ashworth.

BOOK OF THE YEAR

The William Hill Sports Book of the Year award will be made on Thursday from the shortlist of seven that has attracted considerable praise. Included in the competition for the £28,000 prize are Diana Nyad’s memoir of her remarkable swimming career - at 64-years-old she became the first person to swim the 100 miles between Havana, Cuba and the coast of Florida without a shark cage – Find a Way and Rick Broadbent’s fascinating examination of the life of Olympic great Emil Zátopek, Endurance.

DAVIS CUP DECIDER

Having knocked out Great Britain in the semi-finals Argentina are looking to make history by winning the Davis Cup against Croatia in Zagreb (from Friday, Eurosport). They have never won the Cup, although they have reached the finals four times. Croatia, the champions from 2005 have still yet to beat Argentina in the competition and there will be huge weight on the shoulders of US Open champion Marin Cilic and Olympic silver medal winner Juan Martin Del Potro, whose victory over Andy Murray was so crucial in the semis.

F1 FACE-OFF

Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg will go head to head for the title at the final round in Abu Dhabi next weekend and the advantage lies firmly with the German. With 23 wins he is the most successful driver never to have taken the title and a podium finish will seal it, regardless of where Hamilton finishes, so staying out of trouble will be his goal at all costs. For which set up and qualifying will be key. Friday and Saturday’s sessions (both Sky Sports) then, may well yet be the most important thus far of the entire season.
