He’s got my full support. Given his earnings he probably wouldn't be eligible for his @uk_sport funding as it’s means tested. @paddle_uk should re-instate his position in the team. In Olympic sports the money rarely makes it to the athletes and they expect complete control.
British canoeist Kurts Adams Rozentals says he is being forced to choose between his Olympic dreams and his OnlyFans account. He says he's made over £100,000 since setting up the account in January, compared to the £16,000 funding he receives.

Devastating for Manchester and the North. Our city is booming and they are cutting us off at the knees.

Cancelling #HS2 would be a national embarrassment. Has anyone reported what the termination fee + money spent so far on the northern leg is? Would you rather have nothing for £X billion or something…?.

Happy retirement @McInallyStuart AKA Rambo. I still remember sitting in a pub in 🇿🇦 loosing my shit at this outrageous effort. Name me another hooker who can outrun a fly-half and a winger from 65m out 🤯. Best of luck for the next chapter ✈️.

What I hate about the honours system is that it's consistently awarded to a minority of terrible, high-profile people, the latest intake being a prime example. The majority of incredible recipients deserve better.

Genuine question, does the U.K. Government actually want Scotland in the union? (Not taking sides). Even Theresa May noticed the bear trap (as did everyone minus the tin pot anti-woke brigade)/believed in reform.

RT @BrianCooksonOBE: There are a lot of good people working @BritishCycling and many brilliant volunteers making cycling happen as a sport….

It’s not like playing for United and moving to City. For many disciplines it’s British Cycling or nothing.

Important point regarding British Cycling’s new parter. Please appreciate that contractually and internally the athletes have zero influence, control or platform to be anything but positive or face dismissal. For many that’d mean the end of their career/livelihood.

Well that’s gone as well as could be expected, glad I don’t have to pedal their messaging anymore. 🐚🇬🇧🚲. BTW the athletes aren’t allowed to speak out or not do appearances, be nice.

Sorry to hear of the passing of another great Scottish cyclist. Some of my earliest memories in the sport featured @RabWardell a strong, witty personality who’d help anyone. Below is a video of one of his many spectacular achievements/projects. RIP.
An amazing ride from @RabWardell . A spectacular film by @CutMedia1 (the folk behind the @danny_macaskill videos). I'm itching to get back to the highlands!. West Highland Way: Rab Wardell's Record Attempt via @YouTube.

Brief comments on @grantshapps ignoring the state of our ports, airports and trains to talk about everyone’s number 1 priority…taxing, insuring, regulating and discouraging cycling 🤦♂️ @BBCRadioScot @BBCJohnBeattie

Great weekend down @MotoGP 🇬🇧 with @Philip_hindes & @Ed_Clancy. Unbelievable to be by the pit wall, so loud (dropped the camera 😅) and fast 203mph+ thanks @_MattDunn @pramacracing @VisionTrackGP

Innocent question, don’t shoot me down 😅 have @BBCSport or @birminghamcg22 released the official video of the crash? Unless there’s significant injuries (if there are I’m not aware 😬). Hard to judge from the fan footage, photos and commentary.

A family involved in the horror cycling crash during the Commonwealth Games say they came "close to a complete catastrophe".

Case in point @uk_sport and @BritishCycling’s post 2017 culture review “39 step (resolution) plan” a number of the “immediate steps” still haven’t been implemented 5 years on. The genuinely excellent @Tanni_GT report from 2017, gathering dust on the shelf. @uk_sport don’t care….

Ironically @uk_sport wouldn’t know good culture if it smacked them across the face. They are only interested in bettering themselves and suppressing the athletes at all costs….

Numb hearing the outcome of the 🇬🇧 Gymnastics report. It’s the same old @uk_sport playbook, 🐊tears, 🗞1 liners and a report that’s possibly been abridged. We’ve had in-numerous similar reports from 🚴♂️🏊♂️🚣♀️🛷🏃♂️ over the years perhaps they are the common denominator?.

#Peckham KenmureSt, NicolsonSq and the others make me overwhelmingly proud of my country ❤️. Our Rwanda, “defund the RNLI”, “push the boats back”, Daily Mail, @pritipatel rhetoric & illegal policies do not 😔. Is there an anti-raid group in Manchester? We have plenty vans roaming.
In response to a Home Office immigration raid, with the power of humanity and solidarity, the people of Peckham, SE15, mobilised, fought back and got their neighbour released. This is people power - so beautiful to see.
