Welcome to the show, meat. #ParisRoubaix

That nesr miss tells me Tadej was already feeling the bonk. #ParisRoubaix

*claimed. Not confirmed. I would hope by now you know not to take anything they say as truth.

Per a skeet earlier, imagine if INEOS had been taken to task for never funding a womens team. Imagine her road palmares...

So what I'm getting from this is that coal miners and roughnecks can easily switch to making/installing/maintaining solar panels and wind turbines....

MFs are just a front for a numbers game....

Not a Visma fan, but can live unbothered by PFP. #prfemmes

Jeebus, that P-R Velodrome surface is especially shitty this year.... #prfemmes

Years ago another Swiss rider, Fabian Cancellara used the same move in I think the same spot, crossing the road right before a median, to cause a split. It's a dick move regardless, but why is it seemingly a Swiss thing? #prfemmes

So what are we thinking with all of the slide-outs? Tires TOO soft or has it been very dry and dusty in N. France? #prfemmes

TBH, if you have to angle your levers that much, you need narrower bars. #PRFemmes

If we take a step back here for a second, do you know what would have driven better coverage of the women's races? A British WWT team. Pundits spent a lot of characters ripping Lefevre for saying he couldn't get sponsors for a WWT team, but nary a word about INEOS NEVER having one.

"Democrats 2026: Give America Back to the People." Bot no, seriously. @democrats.org can have that for free as long as they fucking use it.

Depends on where it is on the soundtrack. And whether the overall tone is "electronic distopian" or "somber loss and remorse." They are the same song, but they are NOT the same song.

Please Clapton, let this play out like the end of Reservoir Dogs

This is preaching to the choir, but I think people who are not bicyclists do not quite understand the level of hate, vitriol, and violence we receive for simply existing on the road. This is true in any environment: urban, suburban, rural.

I believe this is called the "Selection."

I honestly wonder if SCOTUS might have been 7-2 originally, but the GOP threat to take the "federal" out of the Federal courts woke them up...

It’s been SUCH a whirlwind few months. I cannot believe I did it, but I DID- I served as a guest editor for an anthology. First (and probably last...editing is not my cup of tea, 😆) time ever. Another milestone. Due out in October. You can find it here: www.harpercollins.com./products/the...
