Philippe Gilbert saying "piss" is today's tour highlight.

The team van seemingly being jump started in the background of the winner's interviews is the most quintessentially British racing scene thing that could have happened.

Fascinating read, great running.

I’m sick for the third time in a month. It’s impossible to prepare for a race when you have small/young kids. A complaint and a fact.

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

My eldest sends voice notes now on our phones and whenever he wants to add a comment to the one he’s just sent he says, “GPS” instead of P.S. and I couldn’t love it more.

@katehelencarter They were getting a bowl. They weren't even near the tap. That's a very cruel punishment.

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

I just got told I "pushed in" to get water in the shared work kitchen and I'm ready for another lockdown now.

@JoeWelstead Old skool blue doesn't count...

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

Very much at the point now where if you have blue tick, it's a warning,

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

@houseofcardinal Hope you're doing ok Justin.

@smythy9 @katehelencarter I need to do a video with all the theatre of these videos, but with a nice bubble bath at the end.

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

Just to check, people still get into WARM baths, right? Insta would suggest it's now ice baths or nothing.

@Prakky @unrealJoJenkins I think you might want @BenLeighHobson - I haven't written a book, sadly, but with a name like Ben Hobson I imagine it's the best book ever.

Chris woke up at 6am to talk to us (he lives in Hawaii) and was able to speak eloquently and with passion, where as at 6am I can barely communicate, so that makes this even better!

[Runner's World UK @runnersworlduk]

Who read and was inspired by “Born to Run”? Yeah, us too. Well guess what, on the podcast this week is @ChrisMcDougall and we’re chatting all about his new book, “Born to Run 2: The Ultimate Training Guide”. You can listen on Apple Podcasts here - https://t.co/Z6ttyTu8Wo

If you listen to the RW podcast (thanks!), we're getting close to the 200th episode, so here's a question for you - who haven't we had on that you think we should chat too?

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

My timeline this morning really highlighting the astounding ridiculousness of the conversation around bikes and cyclists at the moment. 25% are a slip away from murder (the knowingly did it) and what does that mean? 2 year driving ban and unpaid work. FFS.

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

@rich_mitch @j0n05 @andywaterman Ah my bad, probably is the pace 1, got ahead of myself. There’s a few new releases coming so lose track of the numbers. Not to peddle our wares, but here’s the review on RW - https://t.co/zwvAYhOqzt - if you haven’t seen it.

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

@j0n05 @rich_mitch I can’t remember off the top of my head if you can add routes to the coros/kiprun, that’s the only thing perhaps worth considering, but the coros training hub app/interface is pretty decent too, so it’s generally a decent UX.

[Ben Hobson @BenHobson]

Doing a lot of trawling amazon for prime running deals in this sale thing and these gore-tex salomon speedcross 4 for about £70 is decent - https://t.co/BSEVzrPiYO if you need some new trail shoes for winter.
