Today’s interview is with someone I’ve wanted to chat to since we started the channel 2 years ago

Today it’s Hannah Bewley (née Barnes)

A worthy reason not to be on a comedy show and I’m glad you’ll be speaking there against Mike, who’s doing his best to ape Reform, Zia and a Tory. I can’t help but feel the deck is stacked against you, but I’m glad you’re able to be the voice of reason and sense

Chinese political figures love cycling- they enjoy road, and cyclocross but their favourite is Mao-ntain biking

I was invited to attend a skeptics convention… I couldn’t believe it

You’re telling me those tomatoes are chopped? But they look perfectly nice to me (am I using the slang right?)

It’s Friday- so time for another tasty chat

We had Red Walters on, he’s a multiple national champion and an all round great guy

and assuming I've been clever and picked someone who has these riders as unique teammates, it should guide to Thomas de Gendt as the answer

Thinking it would be fun to do a game during this off-season, every time I remember to, that I will think of a rider who people have to guess, and the only clues I will give are riders they have been on the same team as and chronologically - an example below

Honestly I’d forgotten about them until I saw someone with them. Spearmint ones were the best

Oh yeah 🥲🥲 not the VW car either… I mean the holey mints

saw someone with polos earlier.. are they old enough to be considered retro now?

I’m doing Grantham to London most weeks and unless I buy super early it’s costing me £100 minimum 😭

I’ve actually seen an MP defend the messaging by claiming it’s a real terms cut on account of inflation — which would be true if wages were going up, and if rent, energy bills, food prices weren’t also going up

Can’t wait to see the myriad ways the Govt has written “if you’re young, poor or young and poor then you’re getting shafted”

I’m not sure who need to hear it. There is nothing new in this but it’s a long time since I heard it put so eloquently 1/3

Remember this… I got an extension last minute but it postponed my contract ending to this month instead so now tomorrow is my last trip— again the sentiment is the same, I’m available if people need a guy

*three this week

Also the one we recorded today was amazing. Such a great and cheery person and I can’t wait to edit that episode

Also- what irks me is the messaging around it “we’re putting more money in your pocket”

No you’re not. Literally and objectively freezing a price does not put more money in my pocket.

We’re recording two this week - and I just finished editing one today… we’ve got something like seven recorded and as of yet unpublished as things stand

I’d be quite happy if it’s a progressive government regardless of the name it takes. As long as it’s trans supportive, helps the vulnerable and doesn’t victimise immigrants then I’m happy

I believe it’s just for the year as usually it’s every January that they go up isn’t it?

The Government are freezing rail fares, which means that prices will be “exorbitant” instead of “fucking expensive”

Yeah- that’s annoying sometimes,

Yeah- me too! They’d get a lot more mentions than they do now that’s for sure 🥲🥲

I just find it interesting when some commentators almost point blank refuse to talk about some riders — like it feels like there’s some beef there

Just say something nice about a rider doing well challenge - level impossible 🥲

I have a controversial take about who commentators and co-commentators mention (and more importantly don’t mention) in CX races… it’s definitely telling when a rider is doing well and they say nothing

Sorry, I can’t hear you.. I’m in Argentina

Sounds fun, I’ll pack my bags

My only fear is that elite races will get geoblocked but I live in hope 🙏

Yeah- I fear that’s the case, any idea which country I need to move to?
