Google finally updated some of its satellite images of Gaza and my god, it's horrific. The entirety of Rafah has been demolished. The majority of Khan Younis is in ruins. Entire towns completely leveled and erased of the map.

"We had the greatest empire in the world. We were a great people. We won two world wars.” Jim Ratcliffe slags off Britain and concludes his roasting with this. He’s the Monegasque Alf Garnett

I'm doing live coverage on the Tour Tracker app for this whole stage. The action's already kicked off with Wout van Aert in the first break

One final shot to upset the top end of the GC. 171km and then #LaVuelta26 takes on the brutal HC climb of the Collado del Alguacil. Take in all the drama in 3D with our man @petercossins.bsky.social in the commentary box: tinyurl.com/tourtrackera... tinyurl.com/tourtrackerios

Here's today's TT course at the Vuelta. I'm already providing live coverage of the stage on the Tour Tracker app. Ethan Hayter is currently flying on the 32.1km course

Time Trial day at #LaVuelta26 and @tourtracker.bsky.social lets you clock in at both splits at the finish. @petercossins.bsky.social mans the commentary as the riders are closing in on the last few days of racing: tinyurl.com/tourtrackera... tinyurl.com/tourtrackerios

I'm providing live updates on the racing on Tour Tracker now. A quiet day so far, an odd one too as it's the second in a row without a categorised climb. With the rest day on Monday and a TT tomorrow, this Vuelta will go 5 days without a climb, which is pretty bizarre given this race's reputation

It's a four corner crit style finish for Stg 17 of #LaVuelta26 ...should be a nail biter into Sevilla. Plenty of kms left to grab the latest version of the app and ride along with our announcer @petercossins.bsky.social ...in #Procycling #3D tinyurl.com/tourtrackera... tinyurl.com/tourtrackerios

A medium mountain stage, but one that could still take quite a toll as the heat is going to be very intense again today. Kluckers pulled out yesterday due to it, Lutsenko won't start today as he's fallen ill. It's taking a toll and isn't forecast to ease up yet

Three categorized climbs on offer on today's ride to Loja. It's anyone's guess how this may play out or whether the GC will tighten up. @petercossins.bsky.social provides the call #LaVuelta26 #procycling tinyurl.com/tourtrackera... tinyurl.com/tourtrackerios

If you can't keep cars off the road when you're holding a bike race, you shouldn't be allowed to stage a bike race. End of. Fewer races. Safer for riders.

During the final kilometer of the individual time trial at the SauerlandRundfahrt 2026, Louis Leidert (Lidl-Trek) encountered two cars on the course that had no business being there. With the first oncoming vehicle, things could have ended very badly. Fortunately, nothing happened. Phew!
