No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pix is now your therapist.

Also feel the need to more openly enthuse about the extremely random riders I support, so for the duration of the men's Tour Down Under this will be a Tom Donnenwirth and Kevin Geniets stan account.

I'm too tired to bother much with self-promo these days but I have a Substack. I write about cycling (no waaay). I've had a few sign-ups for my website but that is pretty much defunct now so if you want to read and/or support my work, Substack is the place 😊

There's still a sense of loss for what Cycling Twitter used to be, I can't deny it. This is the third season that I'll have been on BlueSky, and it's building organically but it's still slow. I really hope 2026 will be the year that tips the scales in terms of engagement and interaction over here 🙏
Its great how much engagement you're getting here, cycling BS going strong

Hey cycling fans, happy new season! I've been a bit absent of late but it's good to see lots of new faces around the place following the (further) demise of the hell-site.
Question for you all: what are you most excited for this coming road season? 🤩🚲

Two days, two big rider retirement announcements (as far as their respective pelotons). And I find myself far more moved by Eli Iserbyt's departure, despite always enjoying cheering against him. Was always so impressed by his tenacity, and it's so sad to see him forced out like this.

Big surprise this. Wonder who Visma will replace him with? What a way to finish your career - with a Grand Tour win and a Tour stage.
Simon Yates to retire with immediate effect. It is sudden and looks to have surprised the Visma-LAB team as he was picked to pose with colleagues to show off the 2026 kit and the team shared the photos on 30 December

Wishing a peaceful and happy end to 2025 and beginning of 2026 to everyone here. I'll be seeing in the New Year watching some live San Jose Sharks hockey and continuing on my crusade to rebuild my body from a variety of cheeses.
All the best my dudes 🙂🙏

Oh I’m so happy the team managed to find a solution continuing to support him after that horrific crash in the Giro. That’s very decent #JuriHollmann

Also to say that my newly adopted hockey team after giving me the perfect welcome gift are now on a 3-game losing streak and I am still planning on spending money I shouldn't on a jersey with my favourite player's name and number.
Cycling teams could learn a lesson from this 😅

Must admit that one is a bit of a puzzler after the messages coming out of the camp the past few days.
