Missed the opening salvoes of theis stage but Pogacar will be pleased to still have Sepp Kuss waiting up the road to give him an extra V-LAB wheel to come around when he attacks. 👍 #CriteriumDuDauphine

So the TdFF is shaping up to be a GC dandy. I think #GCMarlen is going to be a bigger factor than #GCLotte but, either way, Demi’s going to have her hands full. #TourDeSuisseWomen

To borrow, once again, from the West Wing: “Why is an Israeli life worth more to the western media than a Palestinian life?” “I don’t know, but it is.”

Last night in Lanzarote. There’s a man and woman “acoustic duo” playing in our hotel. If they’re called Simone y Garfunkel I’m buying drinks for everyone. #HolidayBlueSky

In a weird and in no-way stalker-ish coincidence, FB tells me that 14 years ago today, we interviewed @nedboulting.bsky.social about his first book for the Velo Club Don Logan Podcast (still the full title then). In 40 minutes of chat we never mentioning its title once. Still, turned out alright. 🤣

I thought I’d had a chest infection (and so did hospital) but a couple of weeks later broke down on a climb that would normally be a leg-tester but not a total lung-buster. Scary. My GP was not happy at all and sent me back for new x-rays and lurking beneath the infection were a bunch of PEs.

My Facebook memories tell me that 14 years ago today, Pat Metheny entered my musical lexicon. Bizarrely (or perhaps not-so, now I come to think of it!) it was thanks to @nedboulting.bsky.social, Matt Rendell and the wonderfully unhinged Real Peloton podcast. #CyclingBlueSky

12 June 1929 | A German Jewish girl, Anne Frank, was born in Frankfurt. In 1942 on her 13th birthday she received an empty diary. She perished in Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945. 'Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character & goodness.' (A.Frank)

Having a clear-out and have set up an eBay shop to make life easier (spoiler: it didn’t). Anyway, I’ve got a bunch of #cycling and #avgeek books plus other mixed fiction, music etc titles all looking new homes. UK only but happy to answer questions ebay.us/m/J52Xnw

In other news, I popped into Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op today, for the first time in years. I can only guess that their online presence makes them money these days because I was really disappointed with a) the range of stuff in-store - great if you want a £7K mtb - and b) disengaged staff.

First glance: FB tells me it was 15 years ago today that this arrived. Thought I’d get a Bike to Work Scheme Boardman “to see how I got on with a road bike”. They sent me the carbon fibre version in error and the rest is history. #CyclingBlueSky

I’m thinking we could liven-up ITTs by only showing coverage on teletext. Constantly refreshing page 381 on Ceefax to update split times would also make it interactive. And it’s free to air. 👍#CyclingBlueSky

Canyon//SRAM aren’t exactly having a stellar season, are they? Chloe’s TDU stage win seems an awfully long time ago. Still, it’s easier differentiating their jersey from SD Worx this season as the SDW ones are at the pointy end of the race. 🙁

I’ve always (wrongly) considered Demi to be a little more “fragile” in a racing sense compared to, say, Kopecky or Van Vleuten, but she’s bloody amazing. And didn’t FDJ send out a warning? It all clicked today. Brilliant.

“Hi Gary. Do you remember CrowdStrike from your last role?” Why, yes. Last year you distributed a duff patch which took down airlines and airports so it took me almost 12 hours to get home from Essex. 👍
