To all those concerned that the Tour de France as a contest is already effectively over you should know that Morden, south London, has everything you're looking for.

Interesting to note Simon Yates has already put around six minutes into Adam Yates to take a commanding lead in the Unofficial Best Yates competition.

Dave Brailsford is back at Ineos Grenadiers and, I assume, his first job was designing this jersey on a Friday afternoon after a couple of bottles of rosé.🤮

TNT Sport's Tour of Britain coverage has taken a rather art-house/bleak Scandinavian drama-style turn.

Someone in the @bsky.app marketing department spent the weekend firing up the Sega Mega Drive.

2. Fancy Castelli Alpha Doppio jacket

Yes, £350 is a lot to spend on a jacket but I had the predecessor to this and it was a remarkable piece of kit. Castelli has a strong reputation for continuous improvement so I’d expect this to be even better.

I'm back in the pages of @cyclingweekly.com, again, today. I spoke to a raft of time trail record breakers from 2024 who shared their fun, and sometimes painful, stories of their record rides.

Check it out at all good newsagents.
