100% on all counts.

wow that is... just unnecessary, really. I want to make a funny crochet-based joke to diffuse the tension but I don't know enough about it 😂

That's fantastic. And a perfect example of why these kinds of little communities are so important ♥️ Thank you for sharing!

Aww thank you. That's nice. Posting on social media has always been about the joy of sharing things I love with like-minded people. Super simple and really rewarding at times. If I want to be maudlin I'll do it on my own watch, no need to add to the negativity that already exists.

Completely agree. Who knows what's going on behind the screens, what if enjoying a bike race is bringing someone out of their own pit of sadness or grief? We have to celebrate the joy in life.

❤️

Well indeed. What kind of utopia do we need to be living in before I'm allowed to be goofy about something I love?

❤️

Absolutely. Not going to let them put me off, if I want to create an echo chamber then that's my prerogative.

Love the project that's awesome! 🤩

Indeed! It's a tonic.

Sorry to hear it's impacting you in other areas too. Staying positive and enjoying the lighter side of life is vital if we are ever to have the energy to share our goodness with the rest of the world.

Getting QRT'ed (or whatever it's called on here) for having the audacity to enjoy sport when bad things are happening in the world.

Why do people not get that enjoying things in the face of everything that's going on is the point?

Nice! Have fun everyone 🥳

French cycling is back today 🤩

📊 At an age of 36 years & 213 days

Lucinda Brand

is the oldest cyclocross world champion ever 🌈 in women's elite category.

👉 Previous record holder: Marianne Vos (34 years + 262 days old)

YES LUCINDA BRAND!!! So so pleased for her. Hugely well deserved after an incredibly consistent season, and indeed career 🌈🙌

Riberolle disqualified - absolutely the correct decision.

Wow Riberolle shoved Zemanova after that crash, that was uncalled for 😬

A few nasty crashes dictating the way this race is unfolding, dearly want to see Lucinda Brand take it home but after that crash I don't know 😭

I get where you're coming from. I think it was down to sheer size of the obstacle rather than concentration and deadliness, but I'd say Australia has to be up there with the scariest place to ride a bike in the 'collected fauna' sphere!

Yikes whereabouts are you? It's just grinding me down now, haven't seen the sun in forever.

Bison, onyx off the top of my head!

You'll be surprised to hear, that Australia only ranks 6th!

The strength of that Red Bull TTT line-up is RIDICULOUS 🤯

'The Countries of the UCI World Tour, Ranked by the Threat their Charismatic Megafauna Pose to Passing Cyclists'

Possibly the best title for a blogpost I've ever seen.

From Wheelysports on Substack.

Just good to see them showing themselves in a TTT! They are going to be brilliant to watch this year.

Unibet Rose Rockets in the hotseat, EVERYBODY LIKED THAT 😍🙌

The sport equivalent of a cozy novel.

Hoping they can be inspired by that and by Stefan's first appearance for them and do well in the TTT in Mallorca now 🙏

It's been raining for days, the lack of light is miserable, I've just done my tax return and had a generally shitty week, but that finish at the Alula Tour has somewhat improved my mood.

Time for a TTT 🤩
