Saw an article recently from Quick Step saying that Van Baarle is in great shape looking ahead to Spring classics. Definitely confirmed that with his performance on the tough Foia climb today. Great to see him and also Laporte back to a good level ahead of opening weekend.

That was absolutely phenomenal. Great heads up racing, Seixas brilliant racing instinct at such a young age.

What a finale in the UAE Tour. Breakaway nearly pulling off a huge upset to stay away, but the big dog comes through in the end to take it!
So early in the season and we’ve already been treated to several nail baiting last km finishes, this being another.

Eagles mock draft on PFSN using PFF board. Most needs addressed (can easily pick up a low cost TE2 in FA). Picked up extra capital by mid round trade backs. Definitely needed a backup for Lane (Isaiah World) who has inside potential, Rutledge also fortifies guard depth which is an area of concern.

Excellent win for Tiberi, bided his time and then pushed on when others were starting to tire. Really managed his effort well on what is a brutal climb. Surely a permanent fixture of this race. Great watch.

Those steeper gradients on mid to long climbs still a problem for Remco. Looked good initially to follow the moves but then cramped up.

On this evening’s Newsnight Zia Yusuf’s whole rationale for abolishing the Equalities Act falls entirely on discrimination of “white working class boys”. Performative posturing to create/deepen a sense of grievance.

Bringing the Velogames Warm Up Championship to a close with Volta ao Algarve and Vuelta a Andalucia starting tmw. Algarve is a stacked startlist and intriguing to see how next generation talents like Widar and Seixas get on against some of the world’s best GC guys.

Firm in the belief that the best Velogames Algarve team doesn’t include either of the top 2 pre-race favourites (Almeida and Ayuso). You can build one hell of a strong lineup without them.

There’s a few giveaways here to confirm it was an illegal electric motorbike and not an e-bike.
Shame they weren’t picked up by the journalist, all it would have taken was a bit of basic research.

Early prediction for Volta Algarve. Ineos will have 5 riders in the top 15 (possibly top 10) of Friday’s ITT.
And whilst that’s great, it still doesn’t change the fact that Jim Ratcliffe can go f*ck himself.

Ended up changing my team last minute for Velogames UAE Tour, so ended up going with this. 4 sprints and possible ITT points for Vernon too good to pass up.

The very best skeleton sliders, whether it’s Janine Flock or Matt Weston, barely move their bodies an inch through their run. Totally locked in and it’s extremely noticeable against the sliders in the middle of the pack.

Does anyone have any updates regarding: Tour de la Provence Stage 2? Are they actually going to race up the full Montagne de Lure, where the upper parts are frankly treacherous with the snow?

Absolute perfection from Matt Weston. Straight as a die, completely in control and ice cool under the pressure. What a moment, truly special 🥇

Absolutely amazing finale in Provence. Bais and Tendon showing steel and craft just about holding off the peloton in nasty conditions. What a win for Tendon.

Driver on the course at Provence, nearly takes out the breakaway coming round a blind bend. Unacceptable and hopefully something we won’t see again during the race.

This flies in the face of Rachel Reeves speech yesterday. About as basic as economics get, you can‘t grow the economy if a significant % of the population have little to zero disposable income. The ongoing trend of Labour’s epic mismanagement of expectations.

Made a few changes re: Velogames Provence and Murcia and a bit more confident both teams are good to go. Taking a bit of a risk with Provence as I think there’s a fair chance the Montagne de Lure climb gets shortened, which if so will make a big difference to GC. Anyway, here’s what I’m going with.

If you give the keys back to someone who’s used their vehicle as a weapon, you’ve told them their behaviour will be tolerated and they’ll most likely do it again.
