Would it make it open? Jonas was 6 mins clear of anyone else at last years tour.

Did she know about the house party. Cause you could land him in it many years later…

Reminds me of when I went to see Wiggo try and break the UK 10 record on a weekday night TT in Hull. He was world champion at the time! It was awesome

Still wouldn’t hack it on a rainy Tuesday night in a club 10 in the lay-by of an A road in outskirts of Stoke of course.

Remco currently holds all TT titles he can hold.. and he hasn’t even linked up with Dan Biggles yet… 😱

Owain Doull to Visma was not a move I was expecting to see appearing on my socials. Interesting move that’s for sure.

This is the real world cost to the sport and its fans.

Many people will just say “just pay the money” but the fact is. I simply don’t have the money spare to spend on what would be a luxury purely for myself in our family budget. It would stop a kid from doing a club they would love and enjoy. Or mean a day out less a month with them.

I’ve watched and loved this sport for nearly 2 decades and one season where I’ve been priced out of coverage and this is the result. How on earth is the sport supposed to attract new fans. When the current situation is turning off old ones.

This year I watched Paris Roubaix on my phone via my parents Virgin Media login and the Tour coverage on ITV4. So disconnected from the world of cycling due to lack of affordable coverage of a sport I love have I become that I didn’t even watch the world championships.

Thought I’d share a bit of the real world fall out from the changes made to how we have access to cycling coverage in the UK have affected me this year.
I like many refused to upgrade to the premium package of TNT sports to continue watching cycling.1/5

Fred Wright.. and his 1 pro win was a NC so there is a debate whether that counts or not anyway!

I can’t believe the number of jam first deviants in your replies Peter. We need to start a watch list.

UCI not caring about rider safety again. Look at this road for the ITT sheer drops either side for the whole course! 🙄 🤦‍♂️

If/when Jonas wins the Vuelta.. would be kinda funny if he did Giro and won that completing the GT trilogy before Pogi 😂

They have accidently ordered another load of “G” branded merch and are trying to cover their tracks

But more likely ineos have offered more money and he reckons they have good lawyers and/or they can afford the pay out.

reardupeloton - Tom @reardupeloton.bsky.social · Aug 22

I mean I imagine there is something about team being responsible for rider safety or something along those lines and seeing as they have given riders unbranded kit to avoid issues.. you could argue they haven’t been able to fulfil it

To play devils advocate slightly. He hasn’t really had much of a run at these races where he hasn’t been coming back from injury and/or Jonas/Pog haven’t been riding them aswell.

If you have ridden in/near the Peak District.
The answer is Abney

Thought experiment: if you had to recommend your favourite local routes to someone else, what would make the grade?
