@nxwestmidlands Biking to work had an altercation with 1 of your drivers after dangerously cutting me up. Believe it to be 11c at approx 0940 on Bromford Lane, West Mids. Obviously words were exchange. Tries to get a look at the number plate by he got too close. I value my life.

https://t.co/6LvPpExU3f @jeremycorbyn take a look please. Hit the right issues and policies and it's in the bag. Free broad band isn't going to save the nhs is it?

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

@Petekennaugh Think you set off a bit keen. How was you by the end? Great challenge.

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Went to cinema yest for 8:45pm showing, but it was 9:17 before the film actually started.

CINEMAS we pay to see films! Fine show 5/10min of ads & trailers, but this inflation to 33mins isn't on. Either cut pre-screening times, or tell us actual start times too.

RT if u agree.

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

@Petekennaugh Well done. Guessing it was a hilly one. What time you end up with?

[George Bennett? @georgenbennett]

On another note, I rode a few hundred meters with @GeraintThomas86 sad to see some absolute wankers booing from the side of the road. If your not here to support then stay at home

F1 drivers have a brake under heir left foot, it’s unsafe only if they decide not to use them.”

Them “Well the general consensus is they should be banned”

Me “probably the same folk that want us back on steel frames, ankle socks and 32spoke wheels 😘”

[Alex Dowsett @alexdowsett]

Them “Yes but there’s an argument that the brakes are unsafe, and Alaphilippe crashed on a tt bike

Me “and Gilbert’s rode off a cliff last year on his road bike.
brakes are unsafe if you don’t use them, the speedmax brakes are as good as the ultimate brakes...

[Alex Dowsett @alexdowsett]

Prize for most ludicrous interview question of the day

“Chris Froome crashed whilst riding a tt bike, do you agree that tt bikes are dangerous and should be banned?”

My reply;
“Ever seen anyone crash a road bike?”

They continued....

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

@chrisfroome @TeamINEOS Get well soon. You have another Tour to win.

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

@NVHooydonck @CCCProTeam @hammerlimburg @HammerSeries Good luck team. Though I'm looking forward to the TTT. Smash it!

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

@simongeschke @CCCProTeam @hammerlimburg Well done peeps.

Who would have thought looking after a 3 and 6 year old would be so tiring.

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

What a hectic day. Thank goodness for the help and hospitality of the Germans foke. Fantastic ppl. Doubt we'd get the same help back home in the uk sorry to say. #germany #helpful #friendly

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

Massive respect @AndyVernonGB. Great run and it that heat. Well done mate. #EuropeanChampionships #europeanathletics

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

Hope recovery goes well @Eganbernal. Glad you're out of hospital. You'll be back of the bike and smashing up the mountains in no time. #skyprocycling #recovery

[Phil Hinch @Phil_the_Grinch]

It had everything. Probably one of the best (in my opinion) @LeTour. And I was lucky enough to see it for real (only 3 of the stages). It will live long in my memory. Thanks for the show @GeraintThomas86 @chrisfroome you were both amazing.
