    True. And anyone who is living an entirely 100% carbon neutral non-fossil fuel dependent lifestyle is entirely free to castigate them for that. God knows I don't qualify for a ride on that particular high horse though.

  • Maybe but if you first had to be 100% carbon neutral before passing comment on environmental issues nobody would ever be allowed to say anything and we’d all slowly boil.

    Better to accept a small amount of well meaning and mutually beneficial hypocrisy, I reckon.

    But this probably isn’t the right thread so back to cycling!

  • This is a dumb statement.

    My prediction for the tour, it will be cancelled two weeks in. With Roglic in yellow.

    Absolutely. Ineos is a company that responds to consumer demand (see making hand sanitiser since the pandemic) and if people in Britain didn't love driving around on their overweight arses so much we wouldn't need so much petrol. But they have fingers in just about every pie.

    My friend was working for them until recently - designing wind turbine blades.

    I would be more concerned about their poor environmental and safety record for their production plants than the fracking thing (although I am against it).
