Thankyou for all the support over the years.

Mont Ventoux is just different. What other MTF do you have a crosswind race before? Full cross tailwind in the 40km before the climb today. With the heat and humidity, eating and drink will be difficult in the hour before they even start one of the hardest climbs in cycling.

The first Irish Lion since 1987! Unbelievable day on the roads of @LeTour .Huge congrats to Ben and the whole team @EFprocycling

RT @laclassica_ad: So good to have you on borad, @DanMartin86 😍

Discovery’s decision to increase the monthly fee is a sign of cyclings popularity but also how TV advertising is no longer enough to cover the TV rights. I would doubt there has been any substantial increase in TV rights. But putting a sport behind a paywall that justifies team.

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years 🤯

As a follow on to my earlier tweet. For the 40e entry price we took a bus 15min up the mountain that dropped us 2km hike from the course.

Mtb World Champs in Andorrà this week. For a family of 4 it’s 140 euro. Per Day! That’s basic no frills entrance fee. Where is all the money going @UCI_cycling as my contacts tell me it’s not the local organizers.

Whatever happened to uphill sprints in @LeTour? I’m talking those 1km long 6-7% finishes. Imagine the battle royales we would see with MVDP, Van Aert, Girmay, Pidcock, DeLie and even the GC guys getting involved. So many flat straightforward sprints this year.

Properly tricky final today until the 1km togo today. And I am currently melting at the finish line. So humid. Another tough day. Give us a subscribe if you want more content the same.

Check out my preview of what I think will be one of the best stages of #TDF24

There goes my prediction. Pogacar wants the stage. We are in for a cracker!.

Arrived at stage 8 finish line @LeTour and it’s way more tricky than I expected. Road book is pretty deceiving and we are in for a totally crazy final.

Thinking back to yesterdays stage, did Vingegaard actually use a 1x chainring? If so that would explain the time loss on the pedaling section of the Galibier descent. I’m sure Pogacar had a superior gear setup/ratio.

Who’s going to be standing here in a few hours? ⁦@LeTour⁩

51% of todays stage is ridden on classified climbs. 71.2km to be exact. And there are uphill sections that aren’t even included. Brutal day ahead. At least the temps are more pleasant

Super impressive how quickly Vingegaard reacted to Pogacar’s attack yesterday as for me it was a surprise where he went. Zero hesitation. To have that level of awareness shows how good his condition is.

Visma Bike Lease again bluffing. Riding ‘slow’ on the climb losing time to the break. Cost the stage yesterday. Vingo not good? We’ll find out next time up.
