British Cycling are showing the British CX Nats on their Youtube channel for a modest fee if anyone's interested. They posted a short promo video, which is rather nice. #CX

Modern football reporting: 'There's a huge news story emerging from the biggest club in the world, so let's hear the opinions of a teenager with a podcast...'

Time flies. I just checked the calendar and we're already only two Manchester United managers away from Christmas.

I confidently predict that Manchester United will issue a statement about being patient while they identify the right manager to take the club forward, then make a knee-jerk appointment which will require a complete overhaul of the playing staff. No such overhaul will be sanctioned. Rinse. Repeat.

I pretended I was watching webinars on auto-enrolment. I just hope nobody asks me any questions about it…

OK, so there’s live cyclocross on TV today but I have to go into the office. How am I going to play this? 🤔

Does anyone listen to The Cycling Podcast? I can’t do it. Sometimes I forget why and put it on, then after 5 minutes Lionel Birnie starts saying how he loves the product that sponsors the show and he uses it all the time and I just think ‘you’re a fucking liar Lionel’ and turn it off.

@camerooneymason.bsky.social With a great start! #CX #Robotland

Lucinda Brand is looking good. But then again, Lucinda Brand always looks good. #CX #Robotland

The end of the road for Arkéa.

Something is telling me that the person in this photo is not the 15 year old Swedish girl Greta Andersson.

The European Championships men’s road race is on today, but I’ll only be half watching because there’s real cycling live on YouTube:

I was wondering how I’d watch Cyclocross this winter, but it’s OK, Sporza has got me covered. Now I just need to learn to speak vlaams…

Gwan Ben Healy! 🥉

I see Zoe Bäckstedt has won the women’s U23 World Champs Time Trial. Well done Zoe, now stop messing about and get back to Europe and start preparing for the ‘cross season.

Strong ride from Esther Wong at the Hope Supercross tonight, finishing in second place behind the indefatigable Laura Verdonschot. #Cyclocross #CX

Laura Verdonschot is destroying the field at the Hope Supercross. It’s been a long off season, but ‘cross is back, baby! #CX #Cyclocross

Another pretty good day for Irish cycling; Seth Dunwoody finished 3rd on Today’s stage of Tour de l'Avenir ☘️ 🇮🇪

Ben F**king Turner!

Shocking goalkeeping by Turati for Sassuolo, he stood admiring De Bruyne’s free kick before remembering too late that he was supposed to catch the fucking thing!

I’m not religious, but sometimes I think coffee was sent here by god herself.

No half measures. Sláinte!

Personally I would’ve enjoyed telling them to stick it up their shite pipe.

Pro tip for any World Tour cyclists watching: Don’t celebrate victory until you’re sure. It makes you look, and feel, like a bit of a dick…

Think about where you spend your money. It matters.

Matthew Brennan gewinnt in Herford, Danny van Poppel übernimmt die Gesamtführung. #deinetour #deinetourlohntsich #lidldeutschlandtour2025

La Vuelta’s back, tell a friend…

Just thinking about football and the summer transfer window and how it overlaps with the start of the season. There has to be a better way.

No Dublin round of the World Cup and no Verge Cross in Clonmel means that there are no elite CX races in Ireland this season, which is a massive shame because this sport could be really popular here if it were promoted properly.

‘tis the season! Well, almost…

I was busy today and just caught up with the cycling. Gwan Rory! ☘️ 🇮🇪

Yeah, yeah, but is he doing a full ‘cross season?

Matty Brennan at a canter. Turner pushed but was never going to catch him.

What a ride from Jamie Meehan! A fully deserved podium place for the young man from Donegal. 🇮🇪 ☘️

Congratulations to Finn Crockett who won the GC at Kreiz Breizh Elites today ☘️ 🇮🇪

It’s been a very good day for Mauritian cycling! 🇲🇺 Le Court stays in yellow in #TdFF and Lucie de Marigny-Lagesse won stage two of Pupkewitz Megabuild Windhoek Women’s Tour, which could be the longest name for an elite level bike race.

It’s been a good week for Scottish cycling fans. Oscar Onley finished 4th on GC in the men’s Tour de France and Kim Le Court (half Scottish) is currently wearing yellow in the women’s race after winning today’s stage. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Lara Gillespie showing that she’s got what it takes to mix it with the best. #TDFF 🇮🇪 ☘️

In the midst of all the action and drama at the tour it’s possible that you may have missed the announcement that Lizzie Threemissedtests, sorry Deignan, has retired from professional cycling.

Sprinters opening their road books this morning: #TdF #TourdeFrance

There is a visual beauty that goes with professional cycling that you just don’t get from other sports. #TDF #TourDeFrance #LeTour

Congratulations to Zoe Bäckstedt. I’m a huge fan of cyclocross riders winning the GC in multi stage road races.

According to my ‘back of a fag packet’ maths, if they hadn’t changed the time cut yesterday five riders wouldn’t have made it. #TDF25

Just realised that I have two mutuals on here called Sean Keating, neither of whom are my brother. FYI, my brother is called Sean Keating.

On Fire Festival

RIP Samuele Privitera

At last, we have a proper climbing day at the Tour. Hautacam here we come!

🤩 Before kicking off the 2nd half of the #TDF2025, a look back at the first 10 stages from inside the peloton!

No Tour today. I might have to do some *whispers* work…

First one since 1987! 🇮🇪
