Forgot to post on the 1st but
Happy pride month 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
This account is and always will be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ people.
The lived reality and politics can be bleak but there are so many people who love and support you
Keep living if only to spite those who want different🫶
Muriel Furrer was only discovered 85 (!) minutes after her crash at the World Championships in Zürich.
The public prosecutor has closed its investigation and concluded there was no criminally relevant breach of duty from the organisers, but I refuse to accept that the sport could not have been better prepared for accidents like this.
GPS tracking as a topic has been on the table for years, and it required an athlete dying for the UCI to kick into action. That is objectively a failure on their part. 🤷♂️

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken
The importance of projects like True Cycling can't be understated. 💯
In men's professional cycling, there are zero openly gay or bisexual riders among the 941 WorldTour and ProTeam cyclists.
Based on global population averages, it is near-impossible that the number is actually zero. This highlights an unseen pressure to remain closeted.
Let's build a future without that pressure, where every rider can breathe freely, regardless of their sexual identity.
🔥 True Cycling is born, the first association for LGBTQ+ pro cyclists and staff.
We want to create a safe and supportive space for 🏳️🌈 riders and staff in pro cycling, promoting visibility and equality.

@BenjiNaesen@NairoInGreen He looks to be pedaling a way higher gear than everyone else and keeps looking down. Maybe I'm reaching but this might be another one of those SRAM moments
