The Radio 4 report this afternoon of the 5 month old Palestinian being starved to death by Israel’s siege was too much to bear. Harrowing.

This is an outrage. 17 million of my compatriots voted to worsen the lives of our young people. How dare they consider broadening their cultural horizons & enriching their existence www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

From £40 a year with GCN+ to £371 within the space of a year, this is going to be absolutely terrible for the sport in the UK

“Don’t even mention budget. Send our national champion”

A bit overwhelmed with love for the NHS. Our little boy has been a bit unwell and they’ve got him out and home on Christmas Eve. They’ve even given him and his brother a present for Christmas Day

Wout’s sitting at home with a pack of mince pies very glad that he called in sick for work on Monday #cyclocross

Worried that Thibaut was going to do an Alaphilippe there but still had plenty by the line. Great battling from Toon Aerts & Wyseure for the podium

Ah great, MVDP hasn’t started doing intervals yet so should be lapping the whole field by worlds #cyclocross

Namur was the right race to pick to go watch last week, grim in Hulst yesterday and hail in Zonhoven today. Conditions on the sofa are perfect #cyclocross

Zoe Backstedt absolutely flying in Zonhoven today but Brand keeps getting quicker

Cam Mason must have been flying at Hulst today, every time his name popped up he was up 3 places. Shame we didn’t see him until the end #cyclocross

Lots of speculation about where Pidcock will end up but how do Ineos Grenadiers win in 2025?

A quiet transfer season & both TP and Narvaez off at the end of the season. This must free up a fair bit of budget but who is left without a contract tie this late in the year?

Fem Van Empel’s been on a training camp & is head and shoulders above everybody else once again. Think we have to wait until Namur to see if anyone can challenge her this season

Been feeling under the weather for a few weeks. Couple of glasses of Beaujolais Nouveau last night and I’m feeling way better today. I’m not saying it’s an elixir for what ails ya but might as well mark 20th November 2025 in your diary just in case

Happy Beaujolais Nouveau day to all those who celebrate

Great to see Cam Mason mixing it in the cyclocross today, best form I’ve seen him in this season

Really enjoyed Rouleur Live yesterday.
The Stelbel coated with Darimo & Carbon-Ti was the dream bike of the show for me, now going to have to find a way to justify a set of the Scope Artech wheels.
Got thrashed by my wife in a DT Swiss hub assembly battle & the lad loved the cap they gave him

Finding Bluesky a breath of fresh air and hopeful that this site can do what we all loved about the other one years ago.
Don’t think I’ve ever got quite so many twitter notifications than in the 2 days I haven’t clicked into the app
