I once drew up a list of 13 of my favourite (men’s elite) classics and called them the Holy Thirteen. There are now, erm, 17, but I still think of them as the 17 races of the Holy Thirteen. (Still thinking about the women’s list).
Here they are, with handy emojis (h/t @statsoncycling.bsky.social)

Spicy chicken sandwich, buldak loaded fries, ube ice cream and ube pie 🇵🇭 at Jollibee, Leicester Square WC2. Haven’t had Jollibee for ages but thought I’d pop by their central London branch. Fried chicken still good. Spaghetti still weird. Ube ice cream still unmeltable. #redharesrestaurants

So finally this weary football supporter looked to see what “xG“ - “expected goals” - actually meant.
What were these impressive sounding, precise statistics being banded about by ever-so-earnest, knowing pundits?
The answer?
Utter pseudo-scientific subjective flapdoodle.

I will admit, I’ve configured an AI agent to speak to me in languages I don’t speak much of in the UK. Not to keep in practice, but to just experience the joy of communicating with someone / something in a colloquial fashion.

AI Security Institute report finds most common type of AI tech used was general purpose assistants such as ChatGPT and Amazon Alexa

Tom kha soup, crispy pork belly pad ka prao and red beef curry 🇹🇭 at Lam Nam Moon, Wigmores N, Welwyn Garden City AL8. Really well spiced and flavourful Thai food, better than most of the chains. Crispy pork belly with Thai basil is a particularly wicked combo. #redharesrestaurants

I really think we could make this happen if we (fans, journalists and journalist-fans) simply decided for ourselves that this was the best way to refer to the Men’s WorldTour.
A random thought this evening, but now that the Women's WorldTour is going to be 10 years old, it would be nice if the UCI could rename the other WorldTour the Men's WorldTour.
It still feels like the Women's WorldTour is not yet quite deemed the norm. Not sure it will ever happen, though.

I have a picture frame on my desk. Occasionally I change the pictures out to random people without explanation, currently it contains a photo of Idi Amin. It makes me chuckle knowing my work colleagues see these pictures but dare not ask.

I agree with Pogi. If I had 4 Tours and 0 Roubaix, I too would want to win Roubaix.
May 2026 be the season for completing sets.

Made an omelette sandwich for young master Hare this morning. 2 eggs, lots of sour cream, a slice of cheese, fried in butter. Layered thus: duck rillettes from a jar I got in France, mayo, half an omelette, sriracha, other half omelette, ketchup, all on seeded sourdough.

Ribeye steak and Fernet and Coke 🇦🇷 at Chimichurris, Southwark Bridge Road SE1. Decently priced, perfectly cooked steak ✅ the Fernet and Coke was less bitter than I’m used to, but maybe that’s how they drink it in Argentina #redharesrestaurants #redharesdrinks

(Brothless) Lanzhou beef lamian 🇨🇳 and spring roll. Yeah, did not expect the brothless bit, was left slightly confused at the counter. It’s become a version of dan dan mian. Still, fairly filling on a cold day, okay as #workscran goes

Despite detesting the finance bros who rock up to a London whisky bar and immediately drain its stock of Pappy, I did find a job in a team of people who are humble, kind, funny, respectful, clever and supportive. Also some of the smartest and most careful investors I’ve met. Good culture does exist.
two tech men having an incredibly annoying meeting next to me in the café and one of them just said "the thing I love about SEO is.....the culture", gobsmacking, beautiful piece of dialogue, would have struggled with it in a sitcom yet he just said it, in real life

Chicken rice 🇨🇳 🇸🇬 🇲🇾 from Hainan House, Upper Street N1. This is more a Chinese version rather than the South East Asian ones I’m used to - spiced slightly differently and less peppery, and cooked rare. Quite decent with the sauce though. #redharesrestaurants
