http://www.fanvfan.com For this challenge we’ve sent the Betfair rivals Phil Tufnell (Tuffers) & Jason Gillespie (Dizzy) to Warwick Racecourse to try to be first past the finishing post. England batsman Ian Bell makes sure we don't have a repeat of The Grand National 1993. While John McCririck gives us the odds.

Challenge 1 from Cardiff - The Ashes Pedalo Race. As tension mounts in preparation for the Ashes, the Betfair rivals emerge from their trenches to fight therell be no holding back in Cardiff Bay where our rivals take to the water to battle it out, each with their nations sporting pride on board! Hailing from landlocked Barnet, Phil 'Tuffers' Tufnell is unlikely to be very ship-shape. However, with pedalos being described as ideal for those who dont like to exert themselves too much, punters who remember the Cats nonexertions in the field might think hed be a good bet. At 65 and nearly 10 years younger than his rival, Jason 'Dizzy' Gillespie will fancy his chances. While conjuring pace has never been a problem for the Aussie seam-bowler, hell have to be careful not to rock the boat.

Jeremy Clarkson eat your heart out — this is possibly our favourite of all the sporting challenges! Even our normally suave and sophisticated Betfair rivals cant fail to look totally ridiculous sitting on little lawn mowers, racing each other at top speed to the finish line in our Lawn Mower Grand Prix. Double-century scoring Dizzy might want to bring his winning cricket bat along to help him fend off his rival as they battle it out for the coveted chequered flag — knocking his opponent for six during the race could be the only chance Gillespie has at winning this one due to his cumbersome size in relation to these tiny ride-on mowers.
