Hi @nedboulting - clearing out the home I grew up in at the moment. There’s a load of cycling VHS that my dad recorded off C4 and Eurosport in the early ‘90s. Including TdF, Classics, Worlds etc. No idea of the state of them but didn’t know if you’d be interested?
@nedboulting - you might already be aware of this film but have you seen “Wonderful losers: A different world”? It’s just been made available on Amazon Prime. It’s a beautifully made 2018 independent documentary behind the scenes at the Giro. Such an enjoyable watch!!
@neverstraysfar No senior women’s team in Kigali, no representation, men’s or women’s, in any of the road racing at the Europeans. Isn’t this all a bit embarrassing when compared to other nations? Isn’t the British system selling our riders short on opportunities?
@itvcycling @nedboulting @millarmind We know there will be fireworks today due to the shortened stage but how, if at all, will the reduced millimetres today impact the way tomorrow’s hilly stage might play out?
@DrHelenFry 1/2… My grandfather William Charles Welsh was a founder member of the Royal Flying Corp in WW1 joining up under-age serving in Europe and Egypt. Between the wars he was in the Merchant Navy on the transatlantic liners including the Mauretania and Queen Mary.
So to watch cycling on Discovery+ the price is going up from £6.99 per month to £30.99 per month. Completely unaffordable.
