This has my head spinning, quite honestly. My first reaction yesterday was relief, for the riders and team staff, and for cycling on a broader scale.
Today all I can think is: where did these sponsors spring from?! In a sport that's always in desperate need of funding, this feels pretty miraculous.

Tell me you're a cycling fan by the weirdest predictive text suggestion... just began typing 'aren't' and my phone was adamant I should be typing 'Arensman' 😆

Which then reminded me of a creative non-fiction piece I had published about the very same setting (it was based on reality of course) about 20 years later... which I'm now revisiting... the uncanny echo of memories changing down the years, is messing with my mind.
I've just found my first novel in the loft. I wrote it when I was 15 and my friends all insisted it was really good. I haven't read it since, I am going in - pray for me 😂🙏

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care?
The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

Still digesting the range of really fascinating and entertaining talks I heard at Rouleur Live over the weekend, but the quote of the event for me was definitely Rory Townsend describing himself as 'a BTEC Mads Pedersen' 😆
(for non-UK based folk it's basically 'Temu/Wish.com' Mads.)

This is 100% proof that he's going in as a spy for French cycling. God speed agent Cosnefroy 🫡

"It was his agent who contacted us, telling us he was free and would be happy to race with us at that point, we asked him why he was coming to us, what he expected, and his answer was significant."

Caught up with CX Euros finally, wow what a race the men's race was. Proper punch-up. No clue how it would end. And love to see an underdog winner for the women too.

Digging through some older stuff for an article and damn, you've gotta love a bit of press office spin.
Pull quote: "[rider] competes in sprint for 4th place"
Me: wow, I didn't realise they did so well at that race!
*checks FirstCycling*
They finished 34th.
So... with the peloton then? 🥰
