Welcome here! 💚 I’m a writer by trade and all-around life-enjoyer. Books, video games, houseplants, and (watching) cycling, not necessarily in that order. Editor at @CyclingScoop.bsky.social and author on Medium in my free time. Nice to meet you!

This is such a weird event. Is it scripted, like the end-of-season criteriums? What are they doing the day before that will supposedly be the basis of a documentary? Is this just one big Andorra travel commercial?
I’m fascinated, haha.

🇦🇩 Andorra will host the first edition of the Andorra Cycling Masters on October 19, bringing together 🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar, 🇩🇰 Jonas Vingegaard, 🇸🇮 Primož Roglič and 🇲🇽 Isaac Del Toro for a unique end-of-season showdown

Reflecting on euros yesterday, I think there’s a clear reason why no one can beat Tadej Pogačar.
Everyone’s got a big “plan,” but nobody actually wants to collaborate or help to bring him down together.
But… doesn’t that mirror many parts of society these days?

It’s very odd to see Brennan getting into almost the exact same situation as Olav Kooij at Visma.
It’s just not clear how much the team wants to invest in sprinters or build strong support around them.

I don’t know, I’m sure the “witnessing greatness” folks (on both sides) have hotter takes. To me it’s just become boring, and I do find it hard to have strong opinions on this win.
Still many congrats to Pogi for a second year in the rainbow. 🌈

Anyone reading this: let’s stop buying things like this that are “too good to be true” cheap. You don’t know what allows for that price… in this case, likely not paying workers what they are owed.
And that doesn’t even go into the joy of MAKING your own amigurumi rather than buying!

Had a look at Amazon Haul just to find out what it is (still not entirely sure), but on my front page it had amigurumi crochet toys on sale for under £3 😡 🧶

Great, quick read this week, although the prose was occasionally choppy and young-adult for my taste.
Pick it up if you like worldbuilding that touches on societal issues along with multiple narrators.

Um, telling newcomers that 80% of the sport isn’t worth watching is a great way to convert them to lifelong cycling fans… right?
The WorldTour calendar is big and confusing. So what races are actually worth your time?
