I was cycling before it was cool! Retired racer now fair-weather cyclist and officiénado of marginal setbacks. Brain the size of a planet. All views are my own

New report: another potentially criminal breach of the law by Douglas Barrowman - they failed to declare his ownership of their Belgravia house.

Thanks to all the @gcntweet staff for their superb work and passion. Good luck to all those that have lost their jobs, and hoping better opportunities come your way!

RIP the best ever dedicated racing cycling channel that was GCN+ 😢
Narrow minded folk at @discoveryplus stuff your strategic rationalising of channels - I’m not paying for a load of dross that’s of no interest to me!

@RealStephens I also remember when Eurosport would switch mid-race to some other sport because the schedule didn’t allow for overrunning or tennis from Roland Garros was more important 🤯

[Mark Walmsley 🚴🏻‍♂️🇬🇧🇪🇺 @marklw]

@RealStephens I’ve loved everything about GCN+ especially without interruptions for adverts.
I don’t want to pay for all the crap that Discovery package including ads, I just want cycling, delivered by fans for fans. It’s back to ITV coverage and world feed highlights on YouTube with adverts☹️

@TimStubbings That’s really interesting. I had distant relatives living in the shadow of the flyover. Mum will love reading and reminiscing, thank you for the research and sharing the old and new.

@dadcyclingnet @gcntweet @warnerbros A dedicated cycling channel just about cycling, with the best coverage of live racing, on-demand and documentaries? You could be on to something!

[Mark Walmsley 🚴🏻‍♂️🇬🇧🇪🇺 @marklw]

@daniellloyd1 Gutted for everyone losing their jobs (best of luck for the future) and the demise of the only choice of Iive racing, highlights and on-demand. Hopefully GCN can retain the documentaries. See you on You Tube!

@the_joe_smoe @KingKabsChester Flip side.. Friday 10:30am Uber couldn’t find a driver for Hoole Hall to city centre and cancelled the booking. Saturday 8pm Uber estimated £28 from Storyhouse to Hoole Hall, KingKabs charged £8.

@HWpath Walked up those far steps, on Saturday, to realise they lead nowhere. It’s obvious from this angle, less so having walked in rain and heavy undulating ground from Heavenfield

Ciaran Jenkins dissects Rishi Sunak's claims and finds it wanting. This is Grade A humiliation.

Poor countries like Holland, Denmark, Germany....?
This looks like freedom to me.

Would this be the same @grantshapps who originally wrote to @MayorofLondon demanding he extend Boris Johnson’s central London ULEZ?
