What fresh hell is this?

Cycling: “We need to simplify things so that idiots can understand cycling better” Also cycling: “Please watch our live races Paris-Roubaix Hauts de France, The Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Flanders Fields - From Middelkerke to Wevelgem”

‘I’m sorry if you feel your child was eaten by a shark’

Jim Ratcliffe is a prick. I always thought he was. He has done nothing to suggest that he is not a prick. I loathe Jim Ratcliffe and as a result I find it very hard to get behind his cycling team. He was a prick before he got into cycling. He’s always been a prick. I hope that clears things up.

Look at the state of this imbecilic racist piece of shit priiiiiiiiiick👎👎👎👎👎 #ineos www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Is there anyone left that *isn't* promoting nazi ideology??? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/f...

Terrible timing for Mads, I guess that means his spring campaign is fucked 😭

Largely true 🇬🇧🩸 (but let's not forget Wales and Scotland and plenty of horrific repression within England)

A question for the cyclists among you: #journorequest #cycling

Nice little documentary about the Roodhooft brothers and the Alpecin teams project youtu.be/r69-fsCG560?...

Is it possible to crash at 100kph and not have concussion?

I had no idea the CX Worlds has a Mixed Relay race, this is nuts! 🤩🔥

Are there any GCN presenters on Bluesky?

British Cyclocross vibes are different 😆 youtu.be/alAD20qriKw?...

Fake news

Reminder that Limburg is a real place and The Netherlands has hills

Anyone know if Eurosport (NL) will be showing any of the CX Nat Champs?

Earth perihelion day today, it might not feel like it in the northern hemisphere but this is the closest the Earth will get to the Sun all year 🌍 🌞 💚

"It's not the despair. I can take the despair. It's the hope I can't stand"

Oh Wout! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

There is one Oliebollen left and it has my name on it.. Will I be eating it to celebrate or commiserate? 🙏 #GoWout #CXMol #Zilvermeer

YES

Now y'all are working together, cycling gods & weather gods, a heroic Mathieu vs Wout battle in apocalyptic snow would be highly appreciated. 🙏🙏🙏 ❄️❄️❄️ #CXMol #ZilvermeerCross

Happy Cyclocrossmas #CXMol #Zilvermeercross

Best Winter Olympics scenes ever #CXMol #Zilvermeercross 🌨️❄️

Cyclo-cross in the snow are you seeing this IOC? #Zilvermeercross

That was very entertaining! Watching with two complete non-fans who got so involved they were telling me to shut up so they didn't miss anything 😆 #SuperprestigeDiegem

On all our sentimental hearts of course ❤️🇸🇮

Former MD at Mavic and Lapierre, Thierry Cornec is new GM of Groupama-FdJ as Marc Madiot steps down after 29 years www.letelegramme.fr/sports/cycli...

Chances that was just a training kit have now reduced 😩

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

Quite curious what other people think about AI when it comes to writing - particularly cycling journalism. Do you care if AI is used to write a race report? I do. I care a lot. open.substack.com/pub/cilliank...

Chris Froome cost IPT €373,000 per UCI point over 5 years 😩🤡 (source DNF podcast)

Chris Froome is the Liz Truss of Cycling

If it was me I'd have an entire side of my house painted with that finish line as a mural

" ... Netflix will gain control of TNT Sports UK & Ireland, which broadcasts Premier League and Champions League football and international rugby matches, as it is *not*among the TV assets due to be spun off from WBD." www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I hope he finds the vibes he needs to thrive at Movistar... Feeling like a misfit in the social environment of your job is a shit feeling and will surely damage your performance as an athlete

Dear Netflix please shed the cycling as part of the transition and sell it too, ooo, I don't know, GCN+ 2.0 maybe? 🙏

And now I like him even more

i wrote this about esteban chaves in 2023, how his was 'a story of belief and resilience in the face of the seemingly impossible.' happy retirement. www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/est...

Coming up soon on the Domestique Hotseat, we have 🇧🇪 Victor Campenaerts! What would you like to ask the former hour record holder?

Not Sportswashing Nomore?

Nine Second Nails? 🤔

Heard about an Irish scheme that pays £70k to anyone willing to set up home on an offshore island – so felt duty-bound to go and scope out a couple... www.cyclingweekly.com/travel/irish...

I've got a bad feeling about this NSN project...

100 days. Just 100 more days and the peloton will be back where it truly belongs.
Just 100 more days until the Flemish climbs and cobblestones are once again lined with passionate cycling fans. 100 days until the Omloop! www.instagram.com/p/DRSRHeFDMt...

"I don’t believe that cycling is clean now. Absolutely not" - 🇩🇪 Marcel Kittel was very clear on the Domestique Hotseat. Watch or listen to the rest of the podcast⤵️ 📺 youtu.be/iwiinyyI9e0 🎧 open.spotify.com/episode/6ziL...

Alison Jackson's surprise move to St Michel-Preference Home-Auber93 has just made a bit more sense: Premier Tech confirms that it will sponsor the team for the next two years to further support Canadian cycling. Notably, not as a title sponsor, paving the way for naming rights at another team.

If I was to attempt to hit the ground running I would 100% fall on my face

Everything that @barneyronay.bsky.social says here applies equally to cycling. The Israel team has been the focus of widescale protests that have undermined it while UAE Team Emirates have collected almost every prize worth having with barely a hint of criticism or scrutiny
