This time though, *this* time, the actual actual truth will finally be revealed.

Waste of money.
British Cycling backs bid for UK Tour de France Grand Départ in 2027 trib.al/WgBApc6

ToB, yearly selection should be published for all riders to compete for and should serve the British peleton.
Why not pick the 6 best domestic riders from champs or RR series? Riders like Tom Martin or George Kimber?

Back in 2000 - TWENTY FOUR years ago - the UCI set a min. weight of 6.8kg b/c some bikes got close to below 6kg.
Today, some pro bikes weigh as much as 7.7kg which is almost 15% more than allowed.
Bike performance has been sacrificed on the altar of commercializing disc brakes.

Dissapointing to see TT bikes allowed here. Huge additional pressure on parents in an already overly expensive sport. You want to win, pay another £4k. More cost and larger carbon footprint with less car sharing too with multiple bikes required. For what gain to the series?

Are you guys in the business of non-stop criticizing team tactics, Benji and Patrick? Especially obsessed with Ineos? Let me tell you, you have absolutely no idea what you’re talking about, this isn’t PlayStation, Know-it-Alls.

I realise this is part of a wider justified anger about ticket prices - but the idea that 66-year-olds should be entitled to a concessionary rate while 22-year-olds pay full whack is quite obviously outdated (and the opposite of what should be happening in this day and age)
Tottenham fans outraged by 6% season ticket hike and erosion of senior concessions.
"It’s outrageous, ungracious and ungrateful"
"It’s simply disgusting"
"It breaks our heart"

Sir Bradley Wiggins took ketones, at the time only available for ‘research’, in the year he won the Tour de France.
We obtained a presentation by the creator of ketones in which it says Wiggins was an ‘early adopter’ of the substance, @sportingintel.

The more of the face you hide, the more humanity you remove, the less we can relate to the rider.
The TT helmets are unstoppable! 😰👽 The EF ladies took their 2nd victory in a row with the young Magdeleine Vallires taking her first pro win in Trofeo Palma after a great solo. I'm curious if UCI will ban the helmets or everyone will use them from now on... #TrofeuPalma

How many years of spreading artificial snow (produced in a giant fridge) on soaked ground do @biathlonworld need to follow his environmental engagements?
Perhaps time to choose a venue who fits with our era. #oberhof
Due to warm weather, rain and strong wind gusts forecast for tomorrow, the Men Sprint in Oberhof has been moved to Friday, 05 January 2024.
