Before today, Decathlon had taken part in exactly 100 TTTs in their history and they had won ONE - Stage 3 of the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon in 2005.

Hahahaha! Joke’s on Brailsford. It was just me emailing him from [email protected]

Paris-Nice today. Tirreno-Adriatico tomorrow. Even you, yes YOU, can use your tiny little brain to comprehend what is going on. (A post from this time last year...) open.substack.com/pub/cilliank...

Just cut the grass while listening to this. Perfect prep. I love Paris-Nice.

Think I’ve witnessed enough greatness now cheers

Good opportunity for Del Toro to perform a Stijn Devoldering today

Pog's combined winning margin for this three wins (4'45") is bigger than the combined winning margins of all other 16 editions combined (3'45")

I have resurrected my old Cycling Books podcast to celebrate World Book Day. The Ronde by Ed Pickering, you know, to coincide with the classics and all that. I spoke to Ed more than 7 years ago about his book, one of the best about cycling ever written. cilliankelly.substack.com/p/the-ronde-...

This is also available on Spotify and Apple and all those kinds of places

On the Muur. Think that was my favourite ever day getting out.

I was once at a work meeting at GCN with 9 people. There was me, Dan, Danny, Dan, Dan, Jon, Jon, Jon and John And Dan Lloyd wasn’t even one of them.

Best l'Equipe cover ever?

That’s ok. Philippe Gilbert won it and was never the favourite

Why is the 2007 Dauphiné so relevant all of a sudden? And why are we going to be talking about this race all year? Time to keep yourself informed! Clickety click click. open.substack.com/pub/cilliank...

“Cycling is a hugely popular sport. However, its media exposure and the revenues it generates do not match its popularity,” I wonder how Lappartient knows this. Or how he thinks he knows this.

He is quickly becoming a proper peloton villain

What a great win by Axel Laurance. I love scenarios like that. A win by the head as much as by the legs.

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”

When Pog wins his fifth Tour de France this year, he’ll still be younger than Lance Armstrong was when he won his first.

Watching the downhill skiing and the on screen graphics are magnificent.

I make it four races this year already which have had to shorten/cancel due to adverse weather: Tour Down Under (Willungahillmate) Surf Coast Classic Mallorca Challenge (Trofeo Andratx) Valenciana TT

Surely as soon as Unibet Rockets actually get to the Tour de France, a bit of the magic of the story will pass and to a degree, they’ll become just another team. The story remains quite compelling while they’re still chasing the invite. Perhaps it’s even more compelling after today.

Who’d be a cycling fan eh?

A lot of pressure on Jonathan Milan to become the first ever eponymous Grand Tour stage winner. Giro - Stage 15. 24th May 2026 Mark it in your diaries. Big day.

Everyone asking is Pog now greater than Eddy Merckx. But nobody is asking the *really* important question…
