Northern side of the Col de la Madeleine. Bit of Monty B on the horizon.

Better late than never, I suppose.

Roughly speaking

This glorious meeting of one cycling team’s two sponsors is also a lesson that just because you’re rich, it doesn’t mean you should be given a platform to spout this shite.

God Farage is a bore. He voted against improving workers’ rights. He doesn’t want us to have control over our lives. He demands that we live within the stifling confines of his stale old prejudices and resentments.
Fewer rights. Less protection. More exploitation.
That’s his plan for the rest of us.

Use of the drone footage in the downhill is nothing short of exhilarating 🤌

Shame they cut to a front-on shot right before the jump – the athletes are getting 50m+ air time every time, but you don’t get a real sense of the distance they’re travelling because of the angle.

Still. Mad bastards.

It’s coming home, @robhatch.bsky.social.

National champs has just become the most important race of the year for every rider on their roster.

It’s like they dipped the bottom half in the same chemicals they’re peddling. Truly a kit fitting for the peloton’s no-one-likes-us-we-don’t-care team.

It is absolutely hilarious. And there is an argument to say his mercenary outburst actually merits his inclusion on the shortlist. Not sure playing the other side Mersey counts as ‘overseas’, though.

Exquisite timing having Salah on there just as he throws his toys out the pram. Good job it’s not judged on *actual* personality, eh?

Two pens? Nothing of note to see here.

The full transcript of Zohran Mamdani's acceptance speech is very much worth reading in full. Even if you don't agree with your politics, it's very beautifully put together.

This Vuelta a España cannot continue with Israel-Premier Tech. This calls on serious governance from the UCI. David Lappartient has always insisted he can't take political decisions that don't align with the IOC's view, but this is beyond political: it's affecting the running of the sport.

While we’re here, old son. Where are we on the use of The Meme™️ to mark the beginning of all Grand Tours? I think I’m actually in favour of it being kept for special occasions.
