I don't think its even the winning, because if he and Seixas/Pidcock/whoever battled up Santa Caterina and Pog still won that wouldn't be hated so much, I dont think, but making 80km of the best race of the year not particularly worth watching is just rubbish π«
FDJ are I think women's cycling's biggest success story. They grew something from the bottom, since before women's cycling was booming, worked to sign the top rider, they ride with unity and respect and a team manager who really cares for his riders. And this is what comes of that
Women's cycling. Best thing in the world
That was an unbelievable finish
I'd climb off tbh
Ffs man

Really fascinating dive into the history (and present) of many cycling records and the women who have been slaying the game for DECADES. I learnt so much!
Getting rid entirely will only deepen the problem of a lack of a development path for women, unfortunately
This is really, really rubbish. It is true that there are essentially no women's devo teams, so you can't make the switch to trade teams like the men's race has this year, but what's to stop the women's race carrying on in national teams? Make it under-21 if you have to?
Really great read from @writebikerepeat.bsky.social on the site this morning, featuring insight from Niewiadoma-Phinney, Tronchon and Madouas
wym that's perfect?
Oh yeah I tried Fable but didn't quite click with it either. Storygraph is a little information overload at first but good once you work out what you and and don't want to track etc
Do u storygraph Emma??? I always wanna know what you've been reading (feel like maybe we were goodreads friends but I have dropped off that)
Guys I can't type im literally illiterate please just imagine i got all the words right in this tweet
Lara said yesterday "hopefully one day better tomorrow" and I was pretty sure then she would win. Good 3 days of racing in the end after crashing out on Sat
The initial attack Russia were sanctioned for was at this time too, after the Olympics and before the Paras, and the ban was in effect by the time the Paralympics started
UCI pres. David Lappartient told @matildaprice.bsky.social in Sept that the reason Russia was suspended from competition and not Israel was because Russia started a war during the Olympic truce. So if the IOC were to apply their rules consistently, the US and Israel will now be sanctioned.
February, I did not do a lot of reading tbh

Harry Styles in Aldi in Ancoats I simply cannot
Do non-disparagement clauses run out cos I'm getting the itch to be disparaging
Guess I shouldn't have been surprised that there wasn't even a women's toilet on our floor
The article that I've been researching and writing for the past few months was published on @cyclingnews.com today. Big thanks to the 6 willing pro riders that I spent many enjoyable hours interviewing. www.cyclingnews.com/pro-cycling/...
ITS LIGHT I'm leaving the office and it's light ππβ€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈπππ
Because bait or not, it's disgusting and it should be called out. To not call it out would be to implicitly accept or normalise it
Do u think that's the same reason why they treat women like second class citizens at the event
