"Moores depends too much on facts and figures and data analysis. He is too consumed by the opposition because he has no experience to fall back on in international cricket."

Current UCI president Brian Cookson says he will write to Verbruggen asking him "to consider his position."

Moores 'not making a difference'

England coach Peter Moores has been speaking to Sky Sports folowing England's exit from the Cricket World Cup.

He said: "You just feel hollow. We haven't played well enough and we have to accept that. I thought 275 was chaseable, although we didn't bowl as well as we could have done in the middle. We should have chased it down after a good start but we didn't. You've got to be able to deal with pressure in a tournament.

"We definitely should have won the game and we didn't. I can't stand and say I'm making a difference when we've just been knocked out the World Cup."

"We've struggled and fallen away since we arrived here. Ultimately it comes down to performance - today some of our guys performed but we didn't perform as a unit. We picked guys who, if we performed, could have won the World Cup, but we haven't performed."

It had been a few weeks since someone had a dig a Mario Balotelli but Mark Lawrenson took up the cudgels yesterday by describing the Liverpool striker as "an absolute waste of time".

Reflecting on the goalless FA Cup quarter-final draw with Blackburn at Anfield, the former Liverpool defender said: "Forget about Mario Balotelli. He shouldn't be anywhere near this team.

"I can see why Brendan Rodgers threw him on against Blackburn as he might just create something but 99 times out of 100 he will let you down."

Illness rules Froome out

Team Sky's Chris Froome will miss the Tirreno-Adriatico stage race because of illness.

The seven-day race, which begins on Wednesday in Italy, was expected to contain the four favourites for the Tour de France - Froome, Spain's Alberto Contador, Colombian Nairo Quintana and defending champion Vincenzo Nibali of Italy.

"Still not feeling well so won't be making it to #TirrenoAdriatico2015. Really disappointed but health comes first," the 2013 Tour de France winner tweeted.

England lose Hales in pursuit

England are continuing to look a little nervy in their pursuit of 276 to beat Bangladesh at the Cricket World Cup.

They've just lost Alex Hales, caught behind off the bowling of Mashrafe Mortaza for 26. They are now 103-2 after 22 overs, with Joe Root joining Ian Bell at the crease.

As ever on Sportsday, we want to hear from you this morning.

Over the weekend, Great Britain's Lizzy Yarnold won skeleton's World Championship. When she was younger, Yarnold - who is also Olympic champion - wanted to be Denise Lewis. The 2004 Olympic heptathlon champion was also a massive inspiration to rugby player Maggie Alphonsi, who helped guide England to World Cup success last year.

So we want to know, who were and are your female sporting inspirations? Let us know on Twitter using the hashtag #mysportingheroine, and via the BBC Sport Facebook page.

Bale in firing line

AS

In Spain, AS have devoted their front page to the BBC - no, not us, the Real Madrid trio of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo.

After another underwhelming result - defeat by Athletic Bilbao - the Spanish public has had enough, according to a survey conducted by the paper. They want Real to switch back to a 4-4-2 - and 46% of readers would put Bale on the bench.

Lyon lay waste to Montpellier

L'Equipe

In France, one result dominates the back pages - Lyon's superb 5-1 victory at Montpellier.

The win restored Lyon's one-point lead over Paris Saint-Germain at the top of the table, with L'Equipe saying they were "carried by the remarkable [Nabil] Fekir", who scored two goals.

Villa face stadium sanction

Daily Mail

There's more on the seat-smashing malarkey on the back page of the Daily Mail.

The Mail's reporter Laurie Whitwell says: "Villa face a large fine or even a partial stadium closure if negligence is established."

There is also an interesting rugby line from Scotland's Stuart Hogg, who claims that England have "no respect" for Scottish rugby.

Replays could be weeks away

The Sun

An interesting line on the back page of The Sun this morning - they are reporting that the FA Cup replay between Liverpool and Blackburn could take as much as a month to be played.

The paper's Martin Blackburn writes: "The FA Cup descended into farce. Rovers face playing three games in 100 hours."

There is also a mention of Tony Pulis, who has called for fans who smashed seats in Saturday's FA Cup tie between Aston Villa and West Brom to receive life bans.

Murray leads Britain to victory

Daily Telegraph

Let's have a look at what's making the back pages this morning. We begin with the Telegraph, which leads on Great Britain's Davis Cup victory over USA in Glasgow.

The paper's Simon Briggs writes: "For Great Britain to knock them out twice in successive years is a serious achievement," recalling last year's victory over the same opponents.

There's also a mention of that damning cycling report, under the headline 'Cycling's drug cheats exposed.'

England chasing 276 to beat Bangladesh

Throughout this morning, we'll be keeping you abreast of the latest developments from the Cricket World Cup, where England need to beat Bangladesh to keep their hopes of qualifying for the quarter-finals alive.

So how are they doing? Well, not too badly at the moment. Bowling first, England restricted Bangladesh to 275-7, despite a superb partnership of 141 between Mahmudullah and Mushfiqur Rahim. James Anderson and Chris Jordan claimed two wickets apiece.

Chasing 276, England were going along smoothly, but they have just lost the wicket of Moeen Ali, putting them on 47-1 after eight overs. You can follow the action over-by-over in our dedicated live page, and of course we will keep you updated on the crucial moments here on Sportsday.

Doping culture remains in cycling - report

More bad news for the beleaguered sport of cycling this morning. A landmark report has found that a culture of doping still exists in the sport.

The report, by the Cycling Independent Reform Commission, suggests that riders are still using banned substances, often in small quantities to avoid detection, and that doping is endemic in amateur cycling.

You can read the full and comprehensive report from Matt Slater here, and our sports editor Dan Roan has also written an analysis of the findings - which you can read here.

Wenger admits 'sacrificing' FA Cup

Let's start with a quick look at what's making the headlines this morning.

Ahead of his side's clash with Manchester United, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has raised eyebrows by admitting that he used to sacrifice the FA Cup in previous seasons in order to boost the Gunners' European prospects.

"The FA Cup was badly positioned before the Champions League - you always had decisions to make," Wenger said. "A player who was a bit on the edge - what do you sacrifice? It was always the FA Cup in the end."

Interesting stuff. What do you make of that revelation, Arsenal fans?

Hello and welcome to Monday's edition of Sportsday - our rolling digest of the latest football news and other headlines from across the world of sport.

As promised, we'll be bringing you plenty of reaction from this weekend's FA Cup fixtures - and later in the day we'll be turning our attention to the remaining quarter-final at Old Trafford.

We'll also be bringing you the best of social media and we'll have a Get Involved topic for you to get your teeth into - more on that later.
