I once drew up a list of 13 of my favourite (men’s elite) classics and called them the Holy Thirteen. There are now, erm, 17, but I still think of them as the 17 races of the Holy Thirteen. (Still thinking about the women’s list).

Here they are, with handy emojis (h/t @statsoncycling.bsky.social)
Back when Gaviria crashed out of Milano Sanremo, I would never have guessed he could end his career without a victory in there.

At this point, it would not surprise me if almost everyone in the right wing media ecosystem was a wrong ‘un. Is it still possible to be on the right without espousing vile racist beliefs?
😂
The #TourofHolland gives us the opportunity to introduce the geologically most puzzling mountain of Europe: the Col du VAM!

The Dutch province of Drenthe is world-famous for Pleistocene ice age erratics: blocks of gneiss and granite that were transported from Sweden and Finland by giant glaciers.
Hmm. Please please please let him be riding Taiwan KOM! 🥺
Japan Cup 🌳 is tomorrow! One of my favourite one day races with that beautiful ride through Utsonomiya Forest. It deserves more love than it gets.

There’s a term for this - 玻璃心 bōlíxīn - “glass heart”. Describes the odd childish sensitivity of a self described superpower to any criticism.
And to Japan as (pork) katsu curry, then promptly reimported it as chicken katsu curry.
I’m not sure how you can be British and avoid a curry your entire life.
Veal scaloppine in white wine sauce 🇮🇹 roast potatoes and broccoli, at Mezza Luna, Heath Street NW3. This is one of my favourite dishes. It’s a ‘test dish’, to see if an Italian restaurant can do nice stuff outside pizza or pasta. This place passes with flying colours. #redharesrestaurants
At least that’s an easy question to answer. “Not until I win Paris Roubaix”
People should salute him!
Whoa. An agent built specially for financial research gave an excellent reply to this question. It even caught itself when it accidentally wrote Mollema was missing a Vuelta stage (he’s missing a Giro stage)

Also said Caruso might retire, so perhaps should not be included, which is wrong.
I find that AI is crap when it comes to cycling, even really obvious questions. So much so that my test for an AI is to tell me which riders could complete their trilogy in the next Grand Tour.

Usually they give me the names of riders who have already won their trilogy. Once an AI made up a rider.
Jerk halloumi, coleslaw, rice and peas, plantain and pepper sauce with a chicken patty on top 🇯🇲 yeah, West Indian #workscran always goes down a treat 🤤
I can tell you that this will make no difference to the racist microaggressions about his immigration status that my boy (British citizen, native language English, second language German, third language Mandarin) will face simply because he’s not white.
I think he’s a better man than some other champions of the sport, even so. Maybe he should join, I don’t know, his old KD Rog team and ask that they get invited to classics only 😝 (and the Vuelta, once)
“40 year old British dude beats Pogačar on a mountain” opens up more possibilities 🤔
Even 🇸🇮 Tadej Pogacar can be beaten.

A day after winning Il Lombardia, he finished second in his own ‘Pogi Challenge’, unable to catch one amateur on the climb to Krvavec.

My annual crazy prediction: Pogi skips the Tour for the Vuelta, bringing his whole gang along, Jonas is knackered after the Giro, and for the first time ever, we have three riders that complete their set of Grand Tours in the same year.
“I need to target the Tour of Magnificent Qinghai. No Tour de France for me this season.”
