British trains strike again! 🤣 after a great experience a week ago, trying to get any train on Sunday in this country is a bad joke, after a 3 hour wait at the station all trains are now cancelled 😩

I Don’t care if people think it’s boring but seeing pogi take 3 mins out of Simmons in 20km is still super impressive! and dropping Remco for a minute in 5km, 🤯
love it! especially in the afternoon #illombardia sunshine, just need the old skool finish in the comms car fiat headlights to be perfect

Why do conveyancing solicitors leave everything until after the last minute? Are they just really really rubbish or do they actually have a good reason??!

One of the best books I’ve read in ages, some of the tales of the races i watched as an inspired kid, and a really sensitive and gently inspiring story of someone truly finding themselves. Well done @pippayork.bsky.social this is the book I’ve waited years to read, it doesn’t disappoint in any way!

I used to really enjoy pubs, somebody would usually always talk to you, not anymore folk just talk to whoever they’re with, or sit staring at phones, 😢
ironically it’s made me do the same!

Why are “bean to cup” coffee machines the norm everywhere now?
I have NEVER had a good coffee from one ever, do most people think this is what coffee should taste like????

Not the most inspiring results from #openingweekend, combination of form not there yet, headwinds, and too many sprint teams, but great to see the first races on the most fun roads to watch bike racing on again! kudos to Stefan’s Kung and Bisseger & Tim Wellens for trying to light it up a bit!

Things I have learnt today riding my bike:
Yes the Road Closed sign is real
The 7km off road gravel path over the hill to avoid the road block is not easy on a lowest gear of 39/27
Or on 28mm tyres at 5.5 bar
Or with full mudguards
I should try cyclocross
I prefer roads
Galloway is the best place!

Cap for indoor training tonight, #RIPGianiSavio a great inspiration to so many young riders over the past so many years!!! Surely will be sorely missed in the Italian cycling world, and finish line suit sprinting world, and podcast appearances!
