@washingtonpost.com sends a reporter to @letourfr.bsky.social to do ONE story and it's about cheating. It's not informative or intellectually honest. Story doesn't mention that there's been ONLY one instance of cheating, in 2016, and none at the Tour. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

@jacobwhitehead.bsky.social @chrisdhwaugh.bsky.social @oilysailor.bsky.social @alexspiers.bsky.social I agree w/ all of your ratings about this years @letourfr.bsky.social So if we divide 30 by 4 = 7.5.

THE BICYCLE INDUSTRY BRACES FOR TRUMP Bikes could become even more expensive if Trump follows through on his campaign promises to implement new and higher tariffs.
