As a UK viewer, it’s so refreshing to have the ITV tour coverage. Professional and well produced, informative and entertaining, serious and yet fun at the same time. Proper insight and analysis. .

It throws in to stark contrast the banter-laden, dumbed down mess from TNT.

Brutal XC course in Gavere this weekend. With no Wout or Pidders, MVDP looks peerless.

The in/out saga of Pidcock at Ineos finally comes to a close.

I guess a move to Q36.5 probably fits him better as he’s always been “Pidcock first, team second” and I imagine they’ll structure everything around him.

Tadej Pogacar about Urška Žigart joining AG Insurance - Soudal Pro Cycling

🗣️ "Urška is going to the same team as Remco Evenepoel. Will she share my secrets with him? I don't think they'll ride together often. Urška would leave Remco behind too quickly."

Interesting read about the pressures on Pidcock to be the saviour of Ineos, especially after Bernal’s crash.

After Bernal’s 2019 Tour win, someone at Ineos said to me “put your money on him to win the next 4” That’s how dominant they thought he would be.

I can't imagine this won't resonate with everyone who rides a bike in Britain.

I've not been hit, but it raised eyebrows when the other day I told a group of non-rider friends I now assume an incident like this is probably how I'll die.
