Pogacar has launched a cancer charity. As you were.

I am getting the bracelet!

I think there’s been a couple of riders with their dogs this year. We need a full run down on gcn show of riders’ dogs

Poor dog doesn't need a bloody jersey though does it. It was probably hot enough without it.

Cycling weekly is good article shocker

Edit: need more coffee

To be fair, his partner (Urska Zigart, who rides for BikeExchange) lost her mum to cancer in the spring.

Cos it's not cycling weekly?

Lol. Need another coffee.

Or a 6am run to energise your day.

I know why he's done it but is there no-one telling him why it's as bad an idea as answering "I've never tested positive" when being asked "are you doping?"

At this rate he's going to retire, come back, join Jumbo Visma and attack Jonas V in TDF 2025.

Will he marry Sheryl Crow though?

He was one when Armstrong won his first Tour, I just don't think it's a frame of reference that is relevant to him.

I was 6 when he did so that explains why I didn't get what dubtap was getting at.

I'd like to see a picture of his partner and his mother and then we will know if he is the new Armstrong.

Yesterday’s finish was a bit special.

arent we due a #peskyvclkidwatch with Fred Wright in the break?

He was just mentioned. Yep in the break

Watching the Giro Donne, and the riders in 1st, 2nd and 4th are chasing a lone leader, with the tiniest female rider I’ve ever seen hanging on with them. It looks like they’ve got a kid tagging along for the ride.

Brief interview with the Ineos DC who commented that it was a relief to not have the responsibility to 'control the race' this year.
I think I understand what controlling the race means, but I am sure there is plenty of nuance I am missing. What is your tool chest when it comes to controlling the race? Why is it, seemingly, a mixed pleasure to be in that position?

Tiny rider or big bike?

Why is nobody wearing a cap or headband under their helmet, to stop sweat getting in their eyes?

Did anyone here the Brockwell Park reference in the TdF ITV4 commentary?

Ned said something about it, but I didn't catch the full comment.

Lol

Fred Wright’s middle name.

His parents literally named him after the park because they love it. He hates the name, apparently.
