On what would have been Michele Scarponi‘s 45th birthday, one of Italy‘s best known journalists & politicians (now affiliated to Giorgia Meloni‘s Fratelli d‘Italia) says publicly, ‘I only like cyclists when they’ve been run over.’ What an utter, unfathomable disgrace.
An accident is when a puppy piddles on the floor or a toddler drops an ice cream cone.
If a grown man drinks 5 or 6 beers and punches it past another car on the right and winds up hitting and killing two guys riding bikes on a country road that's not an accident.
That's murder.
The men's triathlon at the Paris Olympics will not go ahead as planned on Tuesday as pollution levels in the Seine remain too high, World Triathlon said in a statement. https://t.co/CKam9ObAZB https://t.co/CKam9ObAZB
Absolutely epic Olympic MTB race. Watched the replay of the final pass several times, @tompidcock was clean. He earned it. Sorry for Koretzky, he fought like a warrior.
With 17 stage wins, at only 25 years old, it is reasonable to assume @TamauPogi will eventually break @MarkCavendish's record......but Cav's circuitous path to the record reminds us that nothing is ever certain in cycling.
