Great analysis Tim. And a bit depressing. But there is hope.

Great show of solidarity Trek! #couchpeloton

[Rouleur @rouleur]

Just in.

Trek will match the men’s prize money for the women’s Paris-Roubaix winner.

Chapeau 👏

@CyclingCentral Those hands! 😲

@laflammerouge16 @lukascph @stevefry A new (or different) men’s race and a women’s edition of a long standing race are not the same thing. Again as a viewer, I watch Paris Roubaix (men’s & women’s), same as the watch Wimbledon (men’s & women’s). It’s ASO choice to separate the P&Ls - and a bad choice at that.

[Merrick @Merrick_U]

@laflammerouge16 @stevefry As a viewer they’re the same race - Both Paris Roubaix… And, both are owned by the same company (ASO). Separate P&L accounts sounds like a corporate cop-out to me…

125 years in the making, this is why #ParisRoubaixFemmes matters so much.

Good night 2020.

To my considerable surprise, we are presently number three in this poll, behind Monty Python and R.E.M.. I am not above asking the Mountain Goats massive to vote for us, and I am, in fact, doing so via this tweet

@liamodea 😊😊 That’s adorable! Soo much like Milly, it’s amazing!

@kgallagher7273 @taylorswift13 Popular singers, actors and athletes connect with people. If they didn’t they’d disappear. This demonstrates empathy and an understanding of culture. If a group of performers largely disagree with an individual, the individual is probably on the wrong side of an argument.

The @FT coronavirus tracker graph is already one of the most influential data visualisations for a generation.

Its apparent simplicity belies the shit ton of work @jburnmurdoch must be doing to tell the stories in the complex data. Brilliant!

Heartbreaking 😔 So much gratitude to everyone in the healthcare industry for what they’re doing now, and what they’ll do in the days to come... #covid19

Today.

I told a 28 year old that he needs intubation. He was scared. Couldn’t breathe.

I told the wife of a 47 year old that he is dying over FaceTime.

I bronched a #COVID19 patient who mucous plugged. It saved his life. Risked mine.
