A middle distance sportive.

You are in the 50-54 category in the year of your fiftieth birthday, so for once Vino isn't cheating.

Audax BP for choppers?

Unconfirmed footage of him meeting some mad scientist in Budapest a couple of weeks ago... 🧐

This is nuts https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2023/aug/02/africas-top-cyclist-biniam-girmay-denied-uk-visa-for-glasgow-worlds

Hearing reports Girmay has been denied a visa… ? Can anyone confirm??

Yeah it's true. Did you hear Cav broke his collarbone?

Ha. Sorry on holidays haven't really been paying attention

My pick for the festivities

Junior mens race pretty feisty from the gun …. shame they’ve lost pictures and all we keep seeing is that ‘kin crane ….
Oh , and Nicholas Roche is a really rubbish commentator

this having all the cycling on , all at the same time makes for difficult viewing .... trying to watch the mens sprint at the track , junior mens road race and the downhill is on the bbc - bonkers ....

Think Awang getting relegated there was a bit unnecessary.
Also, great to see Nicholas Paul back. Looking forward to seeing him in the Keirin.

Really entertaining junior mens race , great teamwork by the Danish but hats off to all the break for keeping away from quite a way out …
Sort of good circuit - like a super difficult kermesse … tomorrow will be very interesting , hope there’s no rain

Great scenes at the DH in Fort William

Downhill riders are utterly , utterly mental …

Minaar not running inserts? I thought everyone would use them these days.

Merch game is strong in Glasgy

Where are you watching it, can't find it on iplayer?

Go to categories then sport. Should come up.

Um, some BBC channel on the Tivo.

BBC1 Wales HD apparently.

Unfortunately Vino already has one, so they've gone down in value now.

A mate of mine, John Jones won silver in the Age 80-84 Gran Fondo at the Worlds. He won it last year but got boxed in by riders from a different age group on the sprint. He'd give most intermediate club riders a run for their money. https://www.tissottiming.com/2023/gfowch/en-us/default/Stage/3/Results

Ooh , trouble at ‘t mill in the Worlds ….

Mad watching worlds go past my home village is bizarre.

The city circuit being described as “dangerous” is even more bizarre

What time is it due to finish?
