I meant re the JV/Pinot/Armstrong spat

Now it's important to be there for every birthday, every school concert - important I can be there for them.

Cav is planning to win at dadding against the other dads. Win the jersey for most consecutive school concerts attended etc.

LOL, I never thought I'd agree with something Armstrong came out with.

Is there a Strava tool that lets you stalk world tour pros? In Mallorca and someone in Bahrain kit was riding up Sa Batalla at a speed that made me feel queasy. Not on flyby anyway.

Cav's final season.

What’s this done to the value of his NFT?

PCS has Strava link in rider bio if available

Glad to see he’s still so vain he’s signed up to Twitter Blue. Cunt.

Musk has given Blue gratis it to a bunch of people with a high cunt qualification rating, so he may have got it based on that.

No idea but some young lad in full Trinity kit has ridden past my door in Oxfordshire at least 3 times in the last few weeks. I’m assuming a local talent but don’t know who.

Are you in the top10 today up Sa Batalla?

I've had some bad COVID and a DVT and then couldn't ride my bike for six months until March this year as I was on teh druqs for the above. So no.
Getting as far as Repsol was actually 😭

Oof rough times. Fortunately now you can enjoy those wonderful Mallorca climbs longer ;)

Going to miss Cavendish and I really hope he wins at the Tour this year. If he hadn't crashed in 2014 he'd easily have the record by now. His pugnacious vulnerability always reminded me of Bob Hoskins. Sadly too late for the great actor to play him in the bio pic.

Not justifying Vaughters being a knob on Twitter, but I didn't see what Pinot had to complain about. The 2 guys were never going to work with him, and remonstrating about it wouldn't/didn't change anything.

do not question thibaut pinot

Gesticulating at your breakaway companions is standard.

I completely understand why Pinot was upset after the stage, as he should've won it but for some reason rode like a junior and effectively gifted the stage to Rubio. I bet Thomas de Gendt was fuming.

Pinot chased by a bear today?

Both of your rides need public visibility for it to work though.

I’m with JV. Always thought Pinot was a bit of a melt. You didn’t win mate, you can try again tomorrow.
