Put this together to help bike fans find their favourite teams, riders and writers on Bluesky. Not many out there so far, in fact I've not found a single rider on here, but the community's growing fast. Let me know if there's anyone I should add

Wonder if this issue will be mentioned at the UAE team launch today?

Apart from L’Equipe who probably have a duty to do so, I don’t know why anyone reports on the Saitama criterium and other similar events that are the WWE of bike races

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.
“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”
