#TDF2026 Is Aaron Gate the oldest debutante in this year's Tour de France at 35?

It is almost time for the #TDF2026, so here’s my stage-by-stage overview! 🇫🇷💛 Hopefully it will make following the race a little easier over the next three weeks🌻 Enjoy, and let’s hope for a great Tour! 🙌 (Psst…. See below to download an iCalendar version 👀)

I was at #WetLeg concert this evening, and they really are getting value for money from their smoke machine. It looked like the whole venue was covered in the smoke from it.

The irish revenue commissioners for honorifics when registering new customers have 47 different options, but no Mx. Everything from cadet, colonel, petty officer, venerable, canon, sister, brother, reverend mother, master, lord, lady, lt general, sir, the honorable, commander, commandment, attorney

I had a dream last night, where i was in a panic on Christmas day to find the train station, so I could get home and watch Cyclo cross. I felt so worried I'd miss it, I felt really worried.

Supportive.

Wait, pixar's Hoppers is a Sci Fi Horror 📽🎥📽

I do wish irish concert promoters make better use of letting people know time schedules. #Spheirgorm

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait Has the sun made me delirious and my eyes are deceiving me, Wilco Kelderman won a road race? Goed gedaan, Wilco! #bikeSky #CyclingBlueSky

The venue seems under attack from seagulls. Does pest repellent work with seagulls?

Just a wish for you 👇

With the reputed 13m euro for Paul Seixas being offered By Pinarello-q36.5, that is more than what was reported as the Team Picnic Post Nl total income in 2024 of 11.7m #BikeSky #CyclingBlueSky

I wonder if part of the plan of Decathlon team in the Giro and Tour de Suisse was to make it harder for Vingegaard and Pogacar respectively, with focus on the Tour de France kind of a dual aim with their own targets for each race #BikeSky #CyclingBlueSky 1/2

Dear Dubliners , you happen to be on the 16 today and see this little fella please pick him up. My friend did try contacting @dublinbusnews.bsky.social but its a Saturday and its early.

@theguardian.com harking back to the time when you could travel from Dublin to Trieste by train. How our train networks have declined

What's more likely, that a group of twisted phytoplankton enthusiasts dumped algae spores into the reflecting pool, then hacked up the paint with a box cutter? Or that a pool of shallow water in direct sun grew algae, and the hydrogen peroxide used to treat it ate away at the paint?

Galileo Galilei is the ultimate punk/rebel etc. Despite being dead for 384 years, he is still showng everyone (who visits his museum) the middle finger.

#YesterdayILearned why in Strade Bianche when they are riding to the citadel in Siena that there is no footpath It is as cars are really restricted in siena. I have found Various Tuscan towns and cities have found a really good leas car heavy places

I would open this to debate, but that would mean saying my age. I only reveal that information to people I give my email address to

#SpeirGhorm The portal for registration to vote in the new Third Level graduate Seanad constituency is open again www.seanadvoter.ie NB - This is a wider one than before, including Institue of Technology grads (of which I am) You need to upload passport of naturalisation cert when registering

The inconsistency in UCI commissions never fails to not surprise me after today's Mountain Bike XCO races with the decision to not disqualify Rissveds in women's but disqualify Azarro in the men's race

After the relatively dry Cyclo Cross season , it feels like the Mountain Bike Cross Country world cup this season has been muddier with the xco races from Korea and xcc races today from Leogang.

According to a columnist with the @irishtimes.com this makes me a "depressive 17 year old girl" I can't argue with 2 of those descriptions.

I'm sure the rule on finishing straights of at least 200 metres will be as successful as the rule from the uci that only WWT and Pro Teams can ride the women's world tour events #BikeSky #CyclingBlueSky

I got Phoebe Bridgers' tickets today This will complete something important, it will mean I've seen Boygenius and each of their 3 members live

Currently reading 'Flashlight' by Susan Choi 💙📚💙📚 #BookSky What i am loving is the exquisite beauty she wraps her sentences and paragraphs like Serk deciding to take Louisa to cinema, a cat being caught visiting others, even how smelly a bus passenger is, Choi makes a wonderful sentence about

Doorman: there is a no phone/camera policy at this concert Me: excellent

The strap for my smart watch broke, and when I went for a walk with it in my pocket, it didn't count the steps I did Is there even any point to go for a walk, if your steps aren't counting?

The big question from the Giro: Did Team Picnic Post NL win enough prize money for them to get home from the race? #BikeSky #CyclingBlueSky #Giro2026 #GiroDItalia

It is nice @thejournal.ie give the option for reminders about the CAO, especially with the leaving cert starting

At least#TNTSports coverage of tennis shows they have similar disdain for tennis fans as cycling fans. At least twice, they interrupted Svitolina Bencic match where ball was in play at 40 all to tell us about other stuff

It's odd, my weighing scales will give faulty readings too but it always a faulty reading of a heavier weight, never lighter The lies I tell my self, like all my clothes are shrinking in the wash

I really really do want tip toe to be good and meet this moment but i just can’t trust or expect it will when the guy that we need to Meet The Moment, Russel T Davies, proudly says he has transphobic friends

Visma Lease A Bike mechanic working this evening to add several kg to Jonas' bike weight so there is no question of it be under 6.8kg

As supposedly dodgy scales are in the news in the women's giro, I must reiterate I am not the same person who was up before a dublin court for using dodgy scales As that was in the 19th century, it would make me at least 126 years old Although my doctor said to me "why when you are very very old"

Poor Felix Gall in the #GiroDiItalia #Giro2026 2nd on 5 stages, all losing to Jonas Vingegaard, and the one time he pipped Vingegaard on a mountain day, it was only for the sprint for fourth place

I'd there a risk for the Time limit for those being dropped now in #Giro2026 #GiroDiItalia

Me upon reading the article on Enric Mas' kit at the #GiroDiItalia

If "ad-free product doesn't make a lot of sense", I dare TNT Sports and WBD to have an ad break with 15 minutes to go in the European football finals I'm sure football fans want a break at a crucial point in time to hear from a crematorium, some pundits favourite hbo max shows, and share trading.

Scott Young, Vp with WBD said abouts ads on cycling “I think as a commercial sports broadcaster, an ad-free product doesn't make a lot of sense.” Maybe it is just me, but disrupting live sport coverage every 12 minutes with ads, so those paying miss action, doesn't make a lot of sense #BikeSky

Motivational or demotivational?

Other riders did ask Ryan Mullen if he wanted help to bring back the break in the #GiroDiItalia #Giro2026 today but like any Irish person when asked if they need help, he was like "nah, I'm grand"* *some dialogue may not have happened and may have been dramatised.
