@CaptainKetch Well done on your latest adventure. My daughter and I saw you speaking in Basingstoke a couple of years ago. Totally inspiring!!! YOLO! ⛰️ 🚲 🚁 ⛵️

@faustocoppi60 I really didn’t like the purple Burgos kit a few years ago… but these guys have nailed purple! 🔥

@m_xl The only way it could be more French was if it had a Look Ergostem! 😂

1: So my crash footage has been doing the rounds today. Hitting over 1,300shares on Facebook with 111k views. @theJeremyVine was also kind enough to share it too. I’m happy for it to be seen, provided it inspires a positive discussion about genuine road courtesy and kindness.

Very interesting piece by @jonathanliew, which captures the malaise in British cycling and in British pretty much everything at the moment.

@100Climbs It looks beautiful but I always feel a bit sorry for the rider who has to sit up and come second. What if Tarozzi never gets a pro win on his palmeres and this is the closest he ever got??!

[Matt Melville @forza_matt]

@Elbasque @wtf1official Gotta be a certain age to remember that! Wasn’t that Mansell in BTCC?

[Matt Melville @forza_matt]

@100Climbs I wonder what Lovatt would have done on that course in his younger days? I remember him tearing the field to shreds up the Snake Pass in the Tour of the Peak.

🇬🇧 Britain’s bullet train 🇬🇧

In Japan, I saw the benefits high speed rail can bring - to connect communities & grow the economy

That’s why, despite the global inflationary pressures, we remain fully committed to building @HS2ltd

🇬🇧 🚄 Building it shows we believe in Britain👇
