Flipping heck 11⁰C forecast tonight, I'd better put the electric blanket back on and make some mulled wine 🥶🥶🥶🥶🥶

Narvaez abandon, Magnier yet to finish a GT, Milan not at his best, brutal stage 19....Guillermo Thomas Silva 🇺🇾 to win Ciclamino in Rome? 💜🇮🇹

If you're watching Antwerp Port Epic on TNT the stream with a thumbnail of cofidis/Uno x riders is Ad free 🥳

Can't help thinking there's some kind of grim and puky neuronormative gender presentation enforcement going on with the reaction to yesterday's stage. Gross!

🇪🇸 Paula Blasi could become first female cyclist to earn €1 million salary Alex Carera 🗣️ "My goal is for Paula Blasi to become the first female cyclist with a salary of one million euros. She is the future star of cycling." 📰 www.domestiquecycling.com/en/news/tade... 📸 Cor Vos

We love to see it #giro26

Jonas looks really great in pink 🤩🩷

"Suffering like a pig" - Piganzoli 🐷

Gall cadence souplesse never ceases to amaze

In all seriousness maybe it's time for special sanitary waste bottles, or screened pee troughs at sensible locations

🥳Awesome news!! Love this race 🇳🇴

The Giro now looks like the Tour did a decade ago. I miss the soft green leaves, blossom and cyclamen flowers of Giri of old

Bettiol is hilarious 🤣

Modest proposal: get them to run concurrently with a rest day in between to transfer from Rome to Reims. Pogačar to be forced to do both by Cosa Nostra. Free cocaine for management, mechanics, commentators & journalists. Warner Bros to send complementary care package of snacks & drinks to all fans.

Alberto the Mystic 🔥

This. God, this. It is such a manufactured panic and it started the moment they lost the fight over gay marriage. Support trans rights because it’s the right thing to do and also because this is all just a fascist push

Richard is 33 next week 🎂 Looking forward to some epic panache, grinta and cyclismo from him at the Tour 💛🇫🇷💥

Also (sorry, but honestly) if I had to make a list of places cis men couldn't go to because a cis man had made a women "uncomfortable" there, it would be very long and there would be literally nowhere for men to go.

I've got Frozen shoulder so I can't ride at the moment so I've been going for long walks and doing turbo sessions instead, but now I have blistered feet and I'm bored of Turbo, I miss riding so much 😩

So it turns out in the UK if you go to cancel TNT after 1 month you get an offer of 6 months at £22/month (rolling contract). Bastards, it's still a ripoff but I'm hesitating about cancelling now

UCI could have avoided all this by making the rule 55*11 or 50*10 max instead of 54*11

Fell asleep watching the Giro and missed the last 5km 🤦‍♀️

It is pleasing to me that not only are O’Connor, Hindley, and Storer all next to each other in GC, they’re also in age order and matching their GC placements to their birth year: O’Connor (1995) in 5th, Hindley (1996) in 6th, and Storer (1997) in 7th.

Halfway through the Giro and the top 14 all within 6 minutes on GC including five teams with two riders, fireworks coming in the mountains🤞#GirodItalia 🩷

Personally I'm really enjoying the current cool damp weather...nature looks and smells amazing right now and there's plenty of time to be roasted alive by the mega el niño later in the year #Maytober

Three guys from Perth in 5th, 6th and 7th on GC, what are the chances #GirodItalia

🚨 #USschedule ALERT! 🚨 It has been pointed out that the Giro YouTube channel is livestreaming today's ITT for free, so goooo get it! Thanks for the heads up, @puckbuddys.bsky.social! 🙌

What do people think, will Bjerg be allowed to do his best effort today or will he save himself to help Narvaez tomorrow? #GirodItalia

Something wrong here 😂

Dear Andy Burnham please lose the stupid by-election then start a new political party called The Northern and Midlands Alliance, burn "Reform UK" party to the ground

Dear EU please signal that you will make adoption of PR and the abolition of the City of London corporation a pre-condition of UK re-entry

Ok I'll nail my colours to the #GirodItalia mast: 🇩🇰 I want Jonas to Win this Giro🩷 🇦🇹 I want Felix to be second 🇳🇱🇦🇺🇮🇹 I want Thymen, Jai and Giulio P on the podium I guess if I have to pick I'd go with Thymen in third They're all winners 😭😭😭😭😭

Enric Mrs

I feel sorry for him, seems he's not at his best level, but so much pressure on his shoulders at such a young age, the hopes of a nation, the exponential career expectations... really hope there is genuine patience, kindness and understanding within the team, glad to see he's getting a hug here

If there's a Jonas dummy does that mean there's also a Remco dummy and a Tadej dummy?

This is more like it! 💥

Enric Mas 9 mins down on GC 😩 #GirodItalia

Laporte out of the Tour 😢

Poor Giulio, not the best day to fulfill his dream of wearing the Maglia Rosa 🥲🩷🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

Praying that Egan just forgot to eat today 🙏🤞🇨🇴🩷

What is the difference between the two HBO max Giro streams? Both have ads, both have the breakaway

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the way you explained that you weren't being partridgey was VERY partridgey 😆

Thymen Arensman: "I am calm and in control. I have had good preparation. Didn’t do too much and not too little either. I just try to do the right things again every day. I take good care of myself. I take all the experience with me and, as I get older, I know better & better what works for me.” 🇳🇱🩷🇮🇹

How about Starmer appoints Burnham to the Lords to get him into the cabinet and shore up his dwindling authority, then Streeting launches a leadership challenge which he loses to Rayner, then Rayner abolishes the Lords?

This man continually impresses me with his mature approach to his own welfare 👏👏

There was talk a while back about Milan being coached to sprint in a more efficient way. Maybe that's backfired, just let him do his thing, who cares if it looks messy

Feel really sorry for De Lie, campylobactor is horrible, can leave you very depleted, unable to fully absorb nutrients and prone to secondary infections, colds etc, potentially for weeks afterwards #GirodItalia
