Ronaldinho's younger sister plays for Ipswich and some cycling carnage

Go with me on this. Imagine for a moment that ankle-breaking Brazilian footballing genius Ronaldinho was to have a younger sister who also played the beautiful game.

Imagine said sister also got on the books at Barcelona before moving to Tottenham in an ill-fated move which saw the younger Gaucho languishing in the reserves.

Then a surprise loan deal to Ipswich Town and beautiful Portman Road was secured, bringing Ronnie junior to Suffolk and rave reviews.

Wouldn't Ronaldinho's younger sister look almost exactly like this? I would imagine so, but let me know what you think.

In other news this week, the superb sport of cycling has once again attracted controversy after a bit of shirt-pulling saw a race leader soak up some serious road rash. Watch the yellow jersey in the lower left-hand corner. Smash.

A nasty spill, but at least Daryl Impey managed to get up and win the race. Unlike Laurent Jalabert back in le Tour 1994, when a policeman decided to try and get a cheeky extreme close-up snap for the family.

That still makes me wince. I was convinced at the time that I'd just seen a man killed, but fortunately LJ - who was the most seriously hurt rider - did recover and went on to enjoy a famous career on the bike.

Just one question remains though - what happened to the copper's picture?

Cheers!
