One thing I've learnt from watching the African Championships is that Ethiopia 🇪🇹 have some fantastic riders coming up through the ranks.
Some very impressive performances by both men and women fron juniors to elite. They have some special talents that could flourish given the right chances.

A fantastic day of racing with Merhawi Kudus 🇪🇷 taking the win ahead of Awet Aman 🇪🇷 and Oussama Abdellah Mimouni 🇩🇿.
The U23 title taken by Aman 🇪🇷 with Mimouni 🇩🇿 in 2nd and Samuel Niyonkuru 🇷🇼 managing 3rd after crashing earlier in the race covering him in dust and dirt.
A pleasure to commentate on.

It's my dad's favourite day today, it's Stir Up Sunday! The day you traditionally make the Christmas pudding and get the whole family to stir the mixture... Hopefully all the blender stuff will be done before I start commentating today 😂

Is Remco the current version of Wiggins and Dumoulin? Strong climbers but they really need long TTs to dominate Grand Tours.
🇧🇪 Evenepoel on 40km 🇮🇹 Giro TT rumour
"An effort of at least 45 minutes, tailor-made for me. That's already a good start, a step in the right direction. But we still want to wait for the official presentation ... before defining our ambitions"

I'm live on SuperSport Africa and the SuperSport app from 15:10 🇰🇪 time (12:10 🇬🇧 time).
Not sure if it is available in the UK or Europe as a whole, but it is apparently on the SuperSport app, so have a look around.
Should be a good day of racing with the women's Elite and U23 titles up for grabs.

Very excited to say that I will be commentating on the African Championships 2025 road races for elite women and men this weekend for Premier Sport Africa!
An interesting route for the riders to do with several flat laps of a circuit before a summit finish in Kenya 🇰🇪.

Anyone else miss that TotalEnergies will ride Cube bikes next season?
The move comes after Cube leave their long-standing partnership with Intermarché-Wanty as the Lotto merger nears completion.
This sees the French squad drop the Enve bikes for 2026.

Tonights win for Wales 🏴 against North Macedonia 🇲🇰 (7-1) in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers wasn't on my bingo card!
Not their biggest win, however. That was back in 1888 against Ireland where the Welsh won 11-0.

Novo Nordisk open the 2026 kit reveal season with a slight update on their 2025 look. A nice update with more green added to the dark blue and the design on the back looks cool. Is it a Taurus thing? I don't know my star signs very well.

Freelancing is tough mentally. Often I think about packing it all in and retraining.
I was working out how much I've earned so far this tax year compared to previous years and I can see I'm on track to almost double my first year as a freelancer, while it isn't much still, it's a little win.
