There's a wonderful piece in yesterday's Today at the Tour that was specifically for Today at the Tour and wasn't aired. It's called 'reflections'. It's 5 minutes long so I can't upload it here unfortunately.

From 14:45 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUzz...
It sounds like a parody because it's so accurate

Don't worry guys, it's definitely not his team or associated with Israel in any way!
Sylvan Adams is present at NSN's first training camp, and the team could not rule out whether he will be seen at races going forward.

While he 'has no role' at NSN (formerly IPT), does that mean he's gone for good?

This explains why he's been sprinting early, he thought the line was nearer than it is
Gaviria caught drink driving, was 5 times over legal limit when caught at lunchtime last month. Presiding judge says he was "1-2 glasses away from a coma" and that it took until midnight until he was sober enough to be detained properly. Gaviria plead guilty and gets 2 year suspended prison sentence
En marge de l'annonce de son transfert chez Caja Rural, Monaco-Matin rapporte que Fernando Gaviria a été condamné ce mardi à 2 mois de prison avec sursis pour conduite sous l’empire d’un état alcoolique. Les faits sont survenus en pleine journée, en octobre dernier.

Firstly, what a coup for Caja Rural.

Secondly, why are Movistar letting go of all those guaranteed 6th places...

A few notes from Ben Healy on Pogacar (Roadman Podcast);

- "On La Redoute, it's a 4:30 effort, I did 495w at 62kgs and he put 15 seconds into me"
- "People go 'why is no one else trying', that's how easy he makes it look"
- "It's pretty demoralising, but at least he's the greatest of all time"

How is Marc Soler 32 today 🙈 Feels like not long ago I was picking him in my 2018 TDF velogames.

This dawning realisation also comes with the fact that we are the same age, minus a month 😆

I was thinking about BP (Before Pog) the other day.

In 2018 I followed most of the Tour of Britain; we were basking in the inertia of post-Tour G force, swashbuckling Alaphilippe pre-goatee vs ascendant Roglic, Paddy Bevin was Wout Van Aert.

What a time.
Look at that collection. That's almost a decade of cycling history - dating back to 2018, when all 3 Grand Tours were won by British riders, and Pog wasn't even a thing.
It’s here!! Proudly added to the library, looking forward to working my way through this. @nedboulting.bsky.social @cyclingalmanack.bsky.social

God grant me the blissful belligerence of Robertson saying 'it's not a foul' when it is in fact a foul and VAR exists.
As a Scotland fan by dint of family indoctrination, it's reassuring that the team are still finding so many new and interesting ways to make it difficult for themselves.
It's not the hope that gets you, it's the numbing sense of inevitability.

The best team. The highest quality in the game. I count myself very lucky that I got to work on 7 editions.
