Japan Cup 🌳 is tomorrow! One of my favourite one day races with that beautiful ride through Utsonomiya Forest. It deserves more love than it gets. 👶: Matthews 🇦🇺 JAY ❤️: Dyball 🇦🇺 VCH 🐴: Carr 🇬🇧 COF #JapanCup

Veal scaloppine in white wine sauce 🇮🇹 roast potatoes and broccoli, at Mezza Luna, Heath Street NW3. This is one of my favourite dishes. It’s a ‘test dish’, to see if an Italian restaurant can do nice stuff outside pizza or pasta. This place passes with flying colours. #redharesrestaurants

Whoa. An agent built specially for financial research gave an excellent reply to this question. It even caught itself when it accidentally wrote Mollema was missing a Vuelta stage (he’s missing a Giro stage) Also said Caruso might retire, so perhaps should not be included, which is wrong.

Fill your brain with shite and it’s no wonder what comes out is shite too 🙄

Jerk halloumi, coleslaw, rice and peas, plantain and pepper sauce with a chicken patty on top 🇯🇲 yeah, West Indian #workscran always goes down a treat 🤤

I can tell you that this will make no difference to the racist microaggressions about his immigration status that my boy (British citizen, native language English, second language German, third language Mandarin) will face simply because he’s not white.

“40 year old British dude beats Pogačar on a mountain” opens up more possibilities 🤔

Wide credit support annex Credit spreads barely moved Standardised climate scenario analysis Major model update required

Just watched an episode of Great British Sewing Bee and a participant cut up a rainbow jersey to make it into a dress 😭

Had another one of those meals, where everything was consistently good. This time it was an old favourite, Jin Kichi, the 🇯🇵 yakitori and robata specialist on Heath Street, Hampstead NW3. It’s so crowded I no longer go every week like I did 15 years ago. Thread incoming. #redharesrestaurants

Actually you don’t have to be that senior to do this, you just need to be always training your team to replace you.

Paris Tours 💨 is here! It used to be the fastest race for fast men, let’s see if the route still supports this. 👶: Brennan 🇬🇧 TVL ❤️: Démare 🇫🇷 ARK 🐴: De Lie 🇧🇪 LOT #ParisTours

That’s as much of the European champion’s stars as we’ll see next season.

This is pretty amazing, but I’m increasingly in the camp that Pogi should focus on ticking off all the races he hasn’t won. I wonder if we will eventually get a montage of winner photos showing him winning every Monument in the rainbow jersey 🤯 that would really be something.

Last Monument of the season is here! Il Lombardía, the race of the falling leaves, harbinger of autumn. It’s Como-Bérgamo this year, so the Madonna 🔔 comes early. 👶: Pogačar 🇸🇰 UAD ❤️: Anybody else (ok Healy 🇮🇪 EFE) 🐴: Evenepoel 🇧🇪 SOQ It’s pretty much a foregone conclusion. #IlLombardia

Son and I got talking about what restaurant he’d open in America if he becomes a chef. I said something from our heritage. He said no, not your heritage, but mine. He’ll create a proper British chippy. As in chips with curry sauce, battered saveloys, haggis and several different munchy boxes.

I can no longer distinguish between satire and reality, and probably haven’t been able to for a while now.

I have an open mind as to whether the World Cup should take place at all, tbh www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Pogi will fall short in something. Personally I think it will be Milan Sanremo, but in 20 years time I’m going to remember the Slovenian era, and I can say I watched most of it.

Aubergine kebab, yoghurt, hummus, rice, Moroccan salad… and a massive falling-apart side order of chicken pastilla 🇲🇦 I have no idea why this #workscran was so much bigger than usual. I’m fairly sure that’s one portion of pastilla.

Nobel prize in chemistry awarded to scientists for work on porous materials

Feels wrong to be excited for next season before Il Lombardía…

I’ve hired sociology and anthropology graduates who turned out to be effective at the job I needed them to do. The best people I’ve worked with have hinterlands, with interests and passions outside their jobs. They’re also likely to be the most highly paid.

The Nobel prize in physics has been awarded to three researchers for work done 40 years ago. Their discovery led to the invention of a crucial part of the technology for making quantum computers

Good chance that Jonas Vingegaard wins all three Grand Tours before Tadej Pogačar. Although we all know that the true summit of cycling is winning all five Monuments and the Worlds.

In my experience, very, very few voters on the left or the right ever take responsibility for their actions.

The findings of this year’s Nobel prize winners in physiology or medicine offer a rich seam of pharmaceutical potential. It may bring therapies for two different sorts of diseases

Peking duck London style 🇨🇳 🇬🇧 that is, roast duck with soy and maltose rather than with the lacquered skin, but deboned and eaten in rolls, at Wing Tai Restaurant, Edgware Road NW2. Most North Londoners who need Asian groceries know this place. Still reliable #redharesrestaurants

Not much space for new whisky anymore, but I splurged on the Heart Cut Kanosuke Whisky Show exclusive. An intersection of an excellent indie bottler (among the very best) and a unique whisky distillery (probably to be among the very best).

Smashburger with onions, cheese and proper chips drizzled with sriracha 🇺🇸 (plus a dollop of tartare sauce from the fish and chips counter) for a big treat #workscran. Yes, this was after a lunchtime run. I’m well aware of the concept of one step forward two steps back.

Giro dell’Emilia is today! Love this little race so much that it’s now a big race for me. Beautiful climb ✅ in Italy ✅ and great racing ✅. My type of race. ME: 👶: Roglič RBH 🇸🇮 ❤️: Landa SOQ 🇪🇸 🐴: Del Toro UAD 🇲🇽 WE: 👶: Fisher-Black LTK 🇳🇿 ❤️: Vallières EFO 🇨🇦 🐴: Kastelijn FDC 🇳🇱 #GirodellEmilia

So when will Pogi ride Taiwan KOM Challenge?

I feel seen. My boy knows why Remco had to change bikes during the Kigali worlds but not how our football team did last weekend. (To be fair they’re shite)

One thing I took out of this is that fascists today have crap art. All the fandom gatekeepers haven’t a creative bone in their body. They just parasite off the canon mythos because they can’t imagine something else. So one of the best things to do to fight fascism is to make your own art.

I don’t know what to say. A few weeks ago my neighbours found their synagogue vandalised, smeared with shit. They’ve had security staff on Shabbat for years now. And then this.

How do you say “92”? 🇬🇧: 90+2 🇳🇱: 2+90 🇫🇷: guys that’s mid Everyone: 👀 🇫🇷: 4*20+12 🇩🇰: hold my beer Everyone: 👀 🇩🇰: 2+(5-0.5)*20 Everyone:

😂 better not be racist then

The most expensive, luxurious, sumptuous, opulent status symbol one can have is empty space. (He says, staring at a full whisky cupboard)

Oh yes, supporting racist policies is actually a very good indicator that the person in question is a racist.

I haven’t been able to visit Malaysia this year, so Tour de Langkawi is extra special for me. To see the roads and scenery, to hear Malaysian accents, to feel the tropical heat as autumn draws in, all while watching a bike race makes me think of my other home.

🤦🏻‍♂️ to fix a debt crisis you don’t cut taxes. You raise them and pay back the borrowing.

I’ve always thought one of the greatest things about the rainbows is that you get to wear them FOREVER. Maybe Magdeleine Vallieres Mills will go back to working as a domestique someday. But the rainbows on her sleeves and collar will tell everyone that she is a world road race champion.

While Sir Keir Starmer’s short tenure has been marked by a number of missteps, at the root of the prime minister’s troubles is the failure of his growth mission for the economy. What went wrong?

Chapeau Magdeleine Vallieres Mills! Talk about striking just once, decisively. 👏 👏 👏
