For the first time in months, I slept through almost to my alarm, yet it has somehow left me so groggy that I almost dumped coffee creamer into my cereal instead of milk. That would have been a different kind of taste. 🤣

Amazing finish at #VueltaABurgos, worthy of the watch when people get a moment! 👏👏👏 Now pivoting again to #TDFF2026!

Wow, Tulett and Brennan and Wout as a hunting group at the Vuelta is gonna be fun to see. 👏 And now that Mads has admitted he's going for the points jersey again (rather than for teammates as previous said), this could be quite the tussle!
I had an appointment this morning, so I just now got into the office and got #TourdePologne on, just in time for the last 11km and a big discussion of how dangerous the last 6kms are. Oh boy. How exciting. /s
🚨 #USschedule ALERT!! 🚨 As expected, there has been an update! Vuelta a Burgos S1 (M) - FloBikes, 830am ET

Whew, after working all day, Lidl and Soudal scattered at the end, leaving Milan and Magnier on their own, but Jonny just had the watts to bull his way through and past. What a chaotic and bargy final, so pleased no one crashed with all of the weaving. It was a near thing! Whew! #TourdePologne
I refuse to get into fights/arguments online. It's the proverbial 'wrestling the pig.' But every now and again, I have to push back against someone who is outright lying and getting applause from their sycophants. A simple "Oh? Can you show us this evidence?" got me a block. 👀😆 So....

Woke up a little before 4am, tossed and turned for an hour, gave up, checked phone…Pogi to Vuelta, transfers (I heard Fabio to Visma somewhere??), and 175km of #TourdePologne sprint stage. Cool. Now I’m just super tired and I have a trainee at work today. 👍👍

OMG OMG!!! Natnael Tesfatsion puts in a monster uphill sprint and holds off everyone else to win at #CircuitodeGetxo!! That was so great to see, what a ride!!!
On the #TDFF2026 feed now, and when @hannah-walker.bsky.social paused and admitted, “I just lost my train of thought there”… …I have never related to a commentator more. 😆🙌
The last stage of #pndkr26 ends in a wild bunch sprint…Rasmus Pedersen of the Danish National Team takes the win, Wout van Aert (carefully tucking in near the front) takes GC. Marred by an awful crash, hope everyone is okay.
🚨 #USschedule alert! 🚨 I’d thought that the listed time on MAX for #pndkr26 last night was awfully late for a short stage, and yep, it changed overnight and it’s on NOW! Started at 730am ET! (I hate when they do this.)
So in celebration of Wout and Remco doing so well this weekend, I made a cake. It turned out so well. Cinnamon swirl crumble cake, anyone? (It totally counts as breakfast!)

AAAAHHHHHH HE DID IT!!! Storm Ingebrigtsen storms to a solo win from the breakaway, YEEEEOOOOW! ⛈️⛈️⛈️⛈️ #pndkr26
OMG, breathless at #DSSK26! What a fantastic last half hour! REMCOOOOOO POWER! 🚀🚀🚀
Remco and Richie going clear!!! Visma chasing! UAE evaporated! Ack!! #DSSK26
Man, that bike change could cost Remco a lot or even the whole race. That front group with Cicco and Jorgenson and Carapaz is a tough one. #DSSK26
Remco almost a minute off the back at #DSSK26. He’s mad about something, frantically winding his way through the cars. Mechanical? Maybe? Comms don’t even know what happened.
