Thankyou for all the support over the years.

Mont Ventoux is just different. What other MTF do you have a crosswind race before? Full cross tailwind in the 40km before the climb today. With the heat and humidity, eating and drink will be difficult in the hour before they even start one of the hardest climbs in cycling.

The first Irish Lion since 1987! Unbelievable day on the roads of @LeTour
Huge congrats to Ben and the whole team @EFprocycling

[Qhubeka Charity @Qhubeka]

So good to have you on borad, @DanMartin86 😍

@marbh345 The majority of race organisers pay to have their races on TV. Cycling is mostly free to air in Europe meaning the TV rights are not prohibitive. This is cycling becoming popular enough that the broadcaster thinks they can up the price

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

Discovery’s decision to increase the monthly fee is a sign of cyclings popularity but also how TV advertising is no longer enough to cover the TV rights. I would doubt there has been any substantial increase in TV rights. But putting a sport behind a paywall that justifies team sponsors marketing spend with viewer figures could cause some teams some major headaches.

🏆A renowned victory for @DanMartin86 ! The cyclist took stage 3 of La Vuelta 20 in front of Roglic, Carapaz and Poels... Relive it on the video ▶️

Hard to believe it’s been 10 years 🤯

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

@mcquaid_pat @UCI_cycling Maybe when you were president and that’s why it was free to spectate 🤣
But true that the poor organisation and logistics is the big issue.

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

Mtb World Champs in Andorrà this week. For a family of 4 it’s 140 euro. Per Day! That’s basic no frills entrance fee. Where is all the money going @UCI_cycling as my contacts tell me it’s not the local organizers.

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

As a follow on to my earlier tweet. For the 40e entry price we took a bus 15min up the mountain that dropped us 2km hike from the course.

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

Whatever happened to uphill sprints in @LeTour? I’m talking those 1km long 6-7% finishes. Imagine the battle royales we would see with MVDP, Van Aert, Girmay, Pidcock, DeLie and even the GC guys getting involved. So many flat straightforward sprints this year.

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

Properly tricky final today until the 1km togo today. And I am currently melting at the finish line. So humid. Another tough day.

Check out my preview of what I think will be one of the best stages of #TDF24 https://t.co/dxGe8ENj8Y

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

There goes my prediction. Pogacar wants the stage. We are in for a cracker!

[Tour de France™ @LeTour]

💥 A mix of punch and raw power - @DanMartin86 believes the Belgian fast men have the best set of skills to tame the final straight in Colombey-les-Deux-Églises.

💥 Un mélange d'explosivité et de puissance pure - Dan Martin pense que les sprinteurs belges sont les mieux armés pour dominer la dernière ligne droite à Colombey-les-Deux-Églises !

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

Arrived at stage 8 finish line @LeTour and it’s way more tricky than I expected. Road book is pretty deceiving and we are in for a totally crazy final

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

@GarethOrganic It does however give you 12 extra gears to play with

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

Thinking back to yesterdays stage, did Vingegaard actually use a 1x chainring? If so that would explain the time loss on the pedaling section of the Galibier descent. I’m sure Pogacar had a superior gear setup/ratio.

[Dan Martin @DanMartin86]

@othello Smaller chainring doesn’t roll as well as a bigger chainring so even if the same theoretic ratio it is a disadvantage
