Some balance on the Austin Killips story. Shouldn't need to write a piece like this, but it's needed now more than ever. 🌈

@StoneDunk @suttontrust How sad, really. Ogborne is living the dream, of course is he 'delightful'. He should be Somerset's poster boy if anything

@NoContextCounty Gough is just a gobshite. All about him

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@ShaunLawthom @TelegraphSport @sharrond62 Bringing people TOGETHER through sport. It should be celebrated. I'm lost for words at how I feel about this

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@JamesTalksSport Aside from the utter bollocks on display there, isn't Gent a beautiful city to be in since they did similar with their roads

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@NoContextCounty Everytime I've watched him and Crawley together, Bell-Drummind has impressed me far more

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@stonojnr @MccaghreyJames Exactly this, his attitude is generally regarded as excellent. In this group that counts for a lot, it's an embarrassment Shelmit had to write that.

@Finlay363893545 @MccaghreyJames Says they made their ashes debuts together in Australia. Which they didn't. Maybe I'm interpreting wrong, but it's poorly written if so

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@Finlay363893545 @MccaghreyJames Root played in the 2013 home series

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@NoContextCounty He's also perhaps the worst Englishman to play 100 tests

@irishpeloton Sastre?

This time though, *this* time, the actual actual truth will finally be revealed.

The WHITE (!) gilet in this range is £235. What the hell has happened to this beautiful sport

[Gary McQuaid @garymcquaid]

So Rapha leave the WorldTour and launch the "Could've Gone Pro" line......

@mgbed @nedboulting It's true - the disparity between the WorldTour teams is shocking. But i tgink the answer is to simplify the kit instead of making it an arms race

@ishdo79 @BenjiNaesen Saint David?

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@Alpen_R @140CharTerror Big respect to Christophe Le Mevel.

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@JamesTalksSport @becgardiner There's little possibility that the director will allow this sort of discussion when they're trying to attract and keep viewers. And here is the problem with the way the media is going - there is increasingly little room for a bit of proper critique

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

@aplaceholderig I cannot stand it. Its annoying me just thinking about why

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

I think this was meant to be an insult

[Chocolate Chainring @ChocChainring]

One silver lining of ITV losing the Tour rights is not having to listen to the Saint and his disciples so much. One negative is that there's no alternative to Orla and co. spoutung absolute rubbish and having 'banter' (Sean Kelly and select others exempt)
