@tntsportsus.bsky.social brilliant coverage of the Giro but please knock it on the head with promoting football matches. There’s enough football forced upon cycling fans without you adding to it. @robbiemcewen.bsky.social @sportsorla.bsky.social @robhatch.bsky.social

Farage is talking bollocks again. But now @ed-miliband.bsky.social is calling him out. There is no politician more geekishly knowledgeable about our energy system than Ed. We need geeks like him to keep the lights on, not Trumpist blowhards like Farage www.theguardian.com/environment/...

@nedboulting.bsky.social @cilliankelly.bsky.social as we live in an incredible time for cycle racing do you think many riders don’t get enough recognition for their brilliance? Take Fred Wright, consistent and an outstanding 9th place at Roubaix last week but barely a mention in mainstream media.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.
