@TrainingPeaks no wonder everyone's moving to @whatstodaysplan

@TrainingPeaks I cancel my account with you within the 45 day refund period for which you say "should you decide you want to cancel for any reason, you will be refunded a pro-rated amount" but because I didn't "reach out and ask for a refund" it doesn't count? Ridiculous

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@TrainingPeaks imagine returning a product and being refused a refund "because you didn't ask" most stupid thing I've ever heard. I wouldn't even mind if you actually had the wording written down but you don't.

@chrstphrfinnan @agibby76 Sometimes feels like people expect all sportspeople to think about nothing else but sport. If you're making 6 figures at it then it's different but cycling isn't football and it never will be

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@chrstphrfinnan @agibby76 No not at all, I just don't think it's a good idea for juniors to blindly plough down the full time route with no thought or plan for if it doesn't work out.

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@chrstphrfinnan @agibby76 I've been really fortunate to race for Madison Genesis and JLT Condor and I owe them both a lot but things come to an end and for me it's just time to move on. If I thought I could improve at all elsewhere then I'd continue racing but I've had all those opportunities already.

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@chrstphrfinnan @agibby76 I didn't set the world alight but that doesn't matter, I did as much as I could. When I realised I'd found my level I started thinking about what to do next, I think that's only natural.

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@MosesTom @chrstphrfinnan @agibby76 Yeah cheers Tom and thanks for letting me practice my acrylic nail teckers on you this season, been a real help. Can race well without a good manicure

@GSGClothingUK @AussieLarry @ChrisLawless95 @TeamINEOS @GSGCyclingWear @kuotauk Bloody hell, that jersey would drown him now. Only half the man he once was 😅

What a genesisbikesuk Fugio should look like: caked in sh*t with a steak pie perched on the chair. #genesisbikesuk #genesisbicycleclub #gravelbike #cycling #madisongenesis @ Rivington Pike https://t.co/ewMno3YFQc

@philipglowinski @BritishConti You're talking about Pro-Conti teams there. They have much bigger budgets and much more riders. They can comfortably afford to run double sometimes even triple programs at times

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@baldersdale @AussieLarry @RitchieFroome @BritishConti @BritishCycling They seem to now, it's perfect prep for the Worlds for anyone who doesn't want a grand tour in their legs. Crowds are still pretty big, not 2012 big but still more than 99% of other races

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@AussieLarry @TeamRibble @VitusProCycling Larry, do you know what the reason behind the ToB having tiny bunches is? Yorkshire was 133 riders (still small) but ToB is 120 and it's been smaller I think in the past. I assumed it was a policing matter but if TdY can accommodate what is effectively the 2 extra teams....

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@RitchieFroome @BritishConti @BritishCycling No, for me the problem is clearly that British Cycling allow the Tour of Britain to take over their entire calendar

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@MattyClinton @mike_cuming @jonmould91 @DanBiggles22 But to be fair we both got beat by a Swedish guy haha

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@MattyClinton @jonmould91 @mike_cuming @DanBiggles22 Naah. I seem to remember you beating me a lot

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@jonmould91 @mike_cuming @MattyClinton @DanBiggles22 That era when all the videos played really fast. Perception of speed is all that matters

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@MattyClinton @DanBiggles22 *because a car rear ended her on a dual carridgeway

[Richard Handley @RichHandley90]

@MattyClinton @DanBiggles22 I did the National 25 in 2012 up in York (ish). A woman broke her back in their event before the men's and the rain was so heavy I climbed off mid race and scrambled up the banking to a bridge over the course. Not worth it
