Writes about cycling for road.cc
Last month we attended a wedding just south of Barcelona, along the route of the second stage of next year's Tour.
So that means the peloton will pass the spot where I fell flat on my face and cut myself to shreds trying to retrieve a flat football from a sheugh. The TV cameras better pick it out

Highlights from last night's Giro team presentation included half of Movistar zooming about on the same Lime scooter, a man spending 20 minutes taking a selfie with his cat, and my interview with Anna van der Breggen being interrupted by security moving barriers... to make way for Wolfie the mascot

Is there a bike race happening in France at the minute?
Because here in beautiful (and occasionally thundery) Bergamo, it's all about the Giro d'Italia Women

Forget Pogačar, Kopecky, and Flanders.
Last night, Peter Sagan dug out the John Travolta get-up and danced the quickstep to 'You're The One That I Want'. That's proper cycling heritage

Desperately sad to say that my friend Gianni Savio has passed away. There’s a lot to add - about his remarkable career, the riders he launched towards greatness, the laughs he & I shared over 20 years & hundreds of chats - but for now my thoughts are with his wife & daughters.

Really enjoyed this chat with Matt Holmes on life after the WorldTour and the current state of British cycling. And, as an added bonus, the start of the episode also features the most preposterous pronunciation of the word ‘podcast’ ever committed to tape…
