Dad, dog owner, cycling, football, and coffee nerd. Increasingly interested in Belgian beer and cobbles. My motto: always give 100%. Unless you are giving blood. You’ll probably find me on my allotment.
Onboard cameras show that riders actually stopped on the Arc de Triomphe roundabout to watch the final kilometer on the big screen. That’s pretty cool #TDF2026
Interesting way to start our family holiday in Menorca. My wife went for a run, tripped on some rough ground and fell. I therefore spent this morning with her in a very efficient Menorcan A & E department. Can you tell which one is the before and which one after? She’s fine now. Diazepam kicked in.
it seems I was wrong about the quiet cup of tea and bird song. I am shocked I tell you, shocked.

I am guessing that it's probably quite calm and quiet on Alpe d'Huez at the moment. Just someone reading a book and a few people sipping a cup of tea and listening to bird song.
I was considering of becoming a GC pro rider but then realised I couldn't stand the sound of cowbells so had to change career.

I am not saying that the England team for the Commonwealth games is a bit threadbare but I have just had a call from Seb Coe asking me to get to Sports Direct asap and buy some running spikes and to keep the receipt to claim them on expenses.
(Me in my best private dick voice): She had legs that went on for days, and had the best ham in the airport

Looking for a loving companion. Someone to share the good times and the bad. Mostly just the bad times tbf because when things are good, that's when I like to do my own thing.
Adam Yates is clearly as sick as a dog but is still riding substantially faster than I could. #notquiteatprolevel

I bet that Simon Yates is as fresh as a daisy, I imagine that UAE will be on the phone to him right now to see if he can sub in for Adam. Watch out for a stage winning performance tomorrow.

I am wondering whether to try to get tickets to see the Odyssey but I don't know if I can trust myself to not sing "he's coming home he's coming home Odysseus is coming home" to the tune of Three Lions. Maybe I should wait till I can watch it at home.
Hollywood, I implore you, PLEASE think of another ending than A MASSIVE FIGHT.
Remember, if you're not a part of the solution, you're insoluble.
the thing is, the furore about Vingegaard and Pogacar being woken in the night for doping tests- they should have been in their 50s and so they'd probably be up having a pee when the testers arrived so it wouldn't have been a problem.
