Yes. Correct on the soigneur….The @Independent_ie not with the same reporting restrictions did name him last week.
@flupton Isn;t this soigneur still on the team? Surely that should have been first call, remove him from Ineos. tarnish reputation and all that. Brailsford however does seem to be a man of facts. present me the facts and i will answer the question. give me a rumour and we will wait.

🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️.
@flupton Phil, never any learning it seems with these things . Already the very predictable reaction suggests it will run further and more news will surface in due course .As the song goes, gotta feeling!.

When will people learn…. Once a story like this is ‘out’ there’s no hiding from it. Crisis management would tell you to get your story out there asap and be proactive about the narrative rather than let speculation build… . Sadly, I think there is more to come on this. .
THE DARK KNIGHT.As always with Dave Brailsford, the big questions remain unanswered.@DavidWalshST @TimesSport @thetimes #toujourslamemechose .

Exactly what I was thinking as he rode up the Hautacam ….
SLAYING THE BADGER .@TamauPogi far too wise to walk into Bernard Hinault’s trap of 1986.@DavidWalshST @TimesSport @thetimes @LeTour @GregLemond #bernardhinault .

Giving his bottle to a kid on the road side…. His resignation that it wasn’t to be.

Stage 14 is a copy of stage 13 from 1986, taking in the Col du Tourmalet, Col d'Aspin, Col de Peyresourde and Superbagnères 🏔️. The breakaway will see a chance for a stage win with Pogačar comfortably in yellow 💛 🇸🇮. ⏰11am live & 7pm for highlights.📺ITV4 & ITVX. #TDF2025

RT @TimesSport: In 1951, when Wim van Est crashed down a ravine at the Tour de France, people understood that bad luck and terrible crashes….

Really enjoyed your colour pieces over the years Daniel @itvcycling . Really hope you’ll find an outlet to continue these little vignettes in the future.
"Back then taking a minute off Merckx was unfathomable". @friebos takes us back 50 years to the 1975 battle between Eddy Merckx and Bernard Thévenet 🇫🇷💥. Merckx lost the yellow jersey on stage 15 to Pra-Loup and he never wore it again 💛. #TDF2025
