David Lappartient hater
So in 5 years time who will present sounds of the 00s on Radio 2?

I'm betting Clara Amfo

Grand Tours are better with a long TT when will this Remco discrimination end?

Even if you don't think much of TT days themselves they are a catalyst for racing on all other days and do more to reshuffle a top 10 then another summit finish will

Guy I once canvassed was adamant there needed to be a fox cull or they would start attacking children. Not only the council, but I having now been informed had a duty of care to act upon this or there'd be blood on the streets

People being rude to Sarah is mean but also stupid

The race was so much better for the way she (and the team) rode. Knew her strengths and capitalised, forced rivals to counter and find different strengths and terrain for it

Tour rewards all round riders but also grit and guile she earned 6th with
🇦🇺 Sarah Gigante on online abuse during 🇫🇷 Tour de France:

"The people that felt the need to message me personally or comment on my own post. Like, I'm sure if I went looking for hate, I'm going to find it. But do you really have to message me personally?"

On the one hand maybe the races are too long and predictable on the other this man lives for the 5th hour of a race and who are we to deny an honest rouleur his livelihood?

Imagine watching a race where Remco is actually in position and ready when the action starts he'd be so good

There is a notable difference in the crowd we're getting on the older narrower roads like Muur di Kigali and then these huge shiny highways and Avenues where they've put most of the rest of the course. Distinctly feels they're trying to show the richer areas more and less where people live. A shame

So this Artym Nych a conti level rider Russian 'neutral' athlete, best results all in the domestic Portuguese cycling scene, and he is making moves in Group 2 with the the best in the world? Yeah sure sounds like a legit unknown talent

Literally every single job application I do, place I've ever lived, entry level work exam I've done, library I've joined, has asked me to declare my religion ethnicity marital status sexuality gender disabilities and two pieces of legal ID. This argument is just stupid and ignorant of actual UK life

🇪🇸 Spanish government responds to UCI

“It is surprising to note that your statement does not include at any time an explicit call on Netanyahu’s government to stop the massacre and barbarity being suffered by the people of Palestine.”

Also somewhat related but just because I'm feeling unapologetically Francophile:

I got to be in the Velodrome at Paris Olympics when Benjamin Thomas won Gold and it was incredible the whole place was thunder

It's a special country and I hope the celebrations are huge for PFP
La Marseilles is always one of the best national anthems, but for a French Tour de France winner it's just something extra special

Hope they give Pauline a huge celebration in Paris too

Home page of lequipe right now is just this full spread and it's honestly the best thing that could happen for Women's cycling

Cycling needs le Tour to lift it and le Tour needs France to love it

Once the Tour de France Femme has captured the French public there's no going back
