We really hope you enjoy our clips and blogs about the Geology of Cycling. There's much more where that came from, but to keep making these, we're gonna need your help! All blog writers and presenters of Geo-Sports are volunteers, but our editor and film crew are independent

The #TourofHolland gives us the opportunity to introduce the geologically most puzzling mountain of Europe: the @ColDuVAMdrenthe! The Dutch province of Drenthe is world-famous for Pleistocene ice-age geology. It is scattered with large ice age erratics: enormous blocks of gneiss

During the Holland Tour, the peloton will pass the Geulhemerberg! See @MelanieDuring’s clip about the treasures hidden along the climb! https://t.co/jH59T0xE2X

And check out our 2-minute clip, with @vanhinsbergen.bsky.social about the Alblasserwaard's history, made last year for the Tour de France Femmes! https://t.co/kh7HvZKCUP

We’ve had a year off, but we can’t let the Holland Tour go by unnoticed, can we? A stage through the polder of the Alblasserwaard today. Check out out blog of its history: https://t.co/sAviETOsrS

NEW JERSEY: Get to know MIKIE SHERRILL: —Voted to RAISE taxes by $3,700 —Voted to give ILLEGALS taxpayer-funded healthcare —Voted to CUT the child tax credit And Sherrill has NO idea what to do as Governor. 🤯 Vote AGAINST her on Nov. 4th.

After several fantastic years with all of you, dear geo-cycling enthusiasts, we have decided to stop posting on X. Twitter was once a great, non-political platform where geeks could exchange about their hobbies. By now, the place has gone dark, and we are no longer willing to

Today is the day of the Dutch Championships Headwind Cycling, where pro riders get beaten by the mailman! It will be a mild edition, with only a 6-7 Bft westerly wind, but the race parcours is chosen such that there is zero protection: the 9 km long Oosterschelde dam! A dam with

We kriehen sturm! 🌬️ Forget the Tour de France: the Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships will be held on Dec 7! An 8 Bft storm will blow on the 9 km long Oosterschelde dam, and 300 racers will battle it on city bikes. We'll be there with the Geology of Shit Weather!

For the many of you that are leaving X, but still would like to stay up to date the Geology of the Tour de France and other cycling races: follow us on all major socials. See https://t.co/L8Oq0aR6S2 for links!

BREAKING: Mamdani's odds collapse in NYC Mayoral Election. If he continues falling at the rate he has the past 24h, Cuomo would be the projected winner.

What a great idea! 😍😃

Normandy, Brittany and Mont Ventoux...just as we ran out of funding for clips 😭. Ow man, there's so much to tell there!

I guess you’ll have heard the news, that 2025 is to be ITV’s last Tour de France. Surprised (no free-to-air for London 2027??). Slightly in shock. No Gary presenting the Tour. Hard to believe.

@geotdf Love this! Thanks, Geology! 🪨 x 🍂 #iLombardia

Have you watched... Trump and the Death of the American Farmer?

What would the season's Grande Finale of @Il_Lombardia be without geology! (The answer probably is: a very flat spinter's race) You'll see the leaves falling over the folded and pushed up limestones - and dolomites of course, the name giver of the Italian Alps! And you'll see

Thanks @GeologicalSocSA for inviting us to write about @Geotdf in your Geobulletin! And for all of you out there interested, you can find our editorial, by @marjieparj and @vanHinsbergen here: https://t.co/5zcOi1MLZc

The race is on. Shortly we will be at the Irchel mountain. It looks like a tafelberg, or table mountain. The top is flat like a table but its flanks are steep. The top of the mountain stayed clear during the ice ages but the foot was eroded away. We call that a nunatak. Stefan

Last day of the #Zurich2024 world championships, the men will have to show what they’re worth! And they’re lucky the race wasn’t 24000 years ago, because they’d had have to ski the entire thing back then 🥶 Stefan Heuberger at @ETH_EAPS of @ETH_en explored the route for you and

The race is off to a nuclear start..... Which is logical because Zurich is home to three nuclear power plants because it's a tectonically stable region. Read more about that in our blogs around these World Championships that we made with scientific partner @eth @ETH_EAPS Zurich

The road race takes us to beautiful geological sites along the route like drumlins, valleys, a tafelberg and gorgeous lakes. Stefan Heuberger of @ETH_EAPS at @ETH Zurich takes you on a tour to see but also shows you what you can’t see anymore. Ice ages and warmer periods

Curious about the backgrounds of the @GeoTdF project? We wrote a little paper about it all, and it just came out in Geology Today! with @vanHinsbergen @marjieparj, @JoseBeenTV . Check it out: Geology of the Tour de France: taking a sports audience by surprise 👇
