I can see both being potentially true. It's a bit 'yikes' either way.

I really hope not. It does strike a discordant note somehow though, doesn't it?

Adams is apparently 'out' although I don't know how definitive that is. But there appear to be no remaining ties...

This has my head spinning, quite honestly. My first reaction yesterday was relief, for the riders and team staff, and for cycling on a broader scale.

Today all I can think is: where did these sponsors spring from?! In a sport that's always in desperate need of funding, this feels pretty miraculous.

Your phone gets its advanced certificate in cyclist name recognition if it can get that one!

My laptop refuses to register the Pogačar diacritic as a new word it's so annoying! But if I type 'Pogačar's' I can correct it. Weird eh?

The machines are learning (mostly)!

I'm a bit sad for you that it's not the centre option! But close enough.

Tell me you're a cycling fan by the weirdest predictive text suggestion... just began typing 'aren't' and my phone was adamant I should be typing 'Arensman' πŸ˜†

Which then reminded me of a creative non-fiction piece I had published about the very same setting (it was based on reality of course) about 20 years later... which I'm now revisiting... the uncanny echo of memories changing down the years, is messing with my mind.

It's eye-opening actually, feels like someone else wrote it! Very dated to the time period though, but some might say 'authentically retro' 🀣

I've just found my first novel in the loft. I wrote it when I was 15 and my friends all insisted it was really good. I haven't read it since, I am going in - pray for me πŸ˜‚πŸ™

That is such an eloquent analogy and you're spot on.

I have been helpfully informed by some lovely folk on Twitter (read: laughed at by some trolls) that it was unlikely to be a 'training' crash. I didn't even think to study what type of bike it was when I made the post to be honest, but no, it's fair to say she probably wasn't 'training'.

This is horrible, so sorry to hear this - really hope your brother was OK and they caught whoever did it.

The British library is in crisis: why does nobody care? The widespread indifference to the British Library's crippling cyberattack demonstrates a perilous failure to value the knowledge infrastructure vital for national prosperity

I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Still digesting the range of really fascinating and entertaining talks I heard at Rouleur Live over the weekend, but the quote of the event for me was definitely Rory Townsend describing himself as 'a BTEC Mads Pedersen' πŸ˜†

(for non-UK based folk it's basically 'Temu/Wish.com' Mads.)
