Nasty looking crash in the sprint finish at the junior Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne. One of the Camsmajaco riders just walked past me carrying a front wheel with about four half spokes left

One of the best bands to come out of this place in the 2020s, Cherym, called it quits this week.
Give 'em a spin. Listening To My Head and Taking Up Sports are proper punk bangers (and the drummer is an old student of mine, too)
Had a big chat with Sam Bennett after what was undoubtedly a frightening time for him
road.cc/content/news...
In an in-depth interview, former Tour de France green jersey winner Sam Bennett reveals his heart issue, which saw him undergo ablation surgery in November, may have been holding him back for years, admitting it’s “possible I was having mini episodes during sprints”

After the Hautacam stage of last year's Tour de France, we stayed in a classic Lourdes hotel: tiny room, crucifix and lots of dust above the door, grumpy receptionist.
A few days ago they sent me (and presumably everyone else who stayed there in 2025) this in the post. Might have to go back now...
Conclusive proof that black shorts can make any jersey work (almost)

“All I see is people crashing coming down a hill at 80kph”
2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans and 2007 Paris-Roubaix conqueror Stuart O’Grady discuss how cycling has changed, why wider bars and smaller gears are “common sense stuff”, and why Tadej Pogačar isn’t boring… he’s just a “freak”
Last month we attended a wedding just south of Barcelona, along the route of the second stage of next year's Tour.
So that means the peloton will pass the spot where I fell flat on my face and cut myself to shreds trying to retrieve a flat football from a sheugh. The TV cameras better pick it out

Highlights from last night's Giro team presentation included half of Movistar zooming about on the same Lime scooter, a man spending 20 minutes taking a selfie with his cat, and my interview with Anna van der Breggen being interrupted by security moving barriers... to make way for Wolfie the mascot

Is there a bike race happening in France at the minute?
Because here in beautiful (and occasionally thundery) Bergamo, it's all about the Giro d'Italia Women
I may be biased because Northern Ireland won, but that World Cup of Darts final surely has to be one of the sporting moments of 2025 so far?
World class skill, drama, tension, emotion. It had it all. And Josh Rock - what a player
#WCOD #PDC
Anna Back Der Breggen...
I'll get my coat.
#LaVueltaFemenina
Forget Pogačar, Kopecky, and Flanders.
Last night, Peter Sagan dug out the John Travolta get-up and danced the quickstep to 'You're The One That I Want'. That's proper cycling heritage
De Ronde...
And yes, I am once again horribly, horribly sunburnt
Not sure, I'll ask the reviews team

There’s a lot to add - about his remarkable career, the riders he launched towards greatness, the laughs he & I shared over 20 years & hundreds of chats - but for now my thoughts are with his wife & daughters.

Really enjoyed this chat with Matt Holmes on life after the WorldTour and the current state of British cycling. And, as an added bonus, the start of the episode also features the most preposterous pronunciation of the word ‘podcast’ ever committed to tape…

Is it really the Dublin 'cross if you're not caked in mud and your teeth aren't chattering?
