Philippe Gilbert saying "piss" is today's tour highlight.

The team van seemingly being jump started in the background of the winner's interviews is the most quintessentially British racing scene thing that could have happened.

I’m sick for the third time in a month. It’s impossible to prepare for a race when you have small/young kids. A complaint and a fact.

My eldest sends voice notes now on our phones and whenever he wants to add a comment to the one he’s just sent he says, “GPS” instead of P.S. and I couldn’t love it more.

I just got told I "pushed in" to get water in the shared work kitchen and I'm ready for another lockdown now.

Just to check, people still get into WARM baths, right? Insta would suggest it's now ice baths or nothing.

Chris woke up at 6am to talk to us (he lives in Hawaii) and was able to speak eloquently and with passion, where as at 6am I can barely communicate, so that makes this even better!

Who read and was inspired by “Born to Run”? Yeah, us too. Well guess what, on the podcast this week is @ChrisMcDougall and we’re chatting all about his new book, “Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide”. You can listen on Apple Podcasts here -

If you listen to the RW podcast (thanks!), we're getting close to the 200th episode, so here's a question for you - who haven't we had on that you think we should chat too?

My timeline this morning really highlighting the astounding ridiculousness of the conversation around bikes and cyclists at the moment. 25% are a slip away from murder (the knowingly did it) and what does that mean? 2 year driving ban and unpaid work. FFS.

Doing a lot of trawling amazon for prime running deals in this sale thing and these gore-tex salomon speedcross 4 for about ÂŁ70 is decent - https://t.co/BSEVzrPiYO if you need some new trail shoes for winter.

*complaining on twitter warning*, but the internet for our street/area hasn’t been working properly for about three weeks now, so thought I’d log a complaint on the Virgin site. Of course that doesn’t work either. Please can you fix this too @virginmedia. #uxdesign

One week left of my attempt to become the first person to run the Danube from sea to source. 230 miles to cover in 7 days to complete the job. Getting some Sunday night back to school vibes. I’m raising money for vulnerable children worldwide. Donate: https://t.co/xyhicI40Rp

New rule: people can’t book a single seats at a table on trains. You can sit in a regular seat, leave the tables for insufferable families/groups of drunk people/shouty business men as tradition dictates.

Who is it that Vingegaard has to call THAT quickly after each stage?! Can't get the lad off the phone.
