@cycling_podcast @friebos @LloydsBank @TourofBritain @GrahamWillgoss Win yesterday for Juan 'my wayuso or the highwayuso' @friebos

@mkj1972 Or the BBC presenters who talk to camera in cars when they should be watching where they are driving.

@BBCPanorama shuts is eyes to the real cause of the carnage on our streets and gets Adrian Chiles of all people to do a provocatively-titled piece on e-bikes https://t.co/mObOEaIryM. Disappointing.

@eurosport Good win. Was the piste too icy and difficult? A few racers could ski it on the 1st run, and many could not. Doesn't make for the best spectacle.

@Philbean12344 @theJeremyVine @Ocado Everyone should drive safely, not just a majority. It only takes one or two idiots to put others in danger. And overall, drivers' attitudes & behaviour are not considerate. That's why cycling has a modal share of 2%.

Is that Cascades chairlift in the main photo? https://t.co/lkTrGFl014

Last Go Up has been and gone. The countdown to next Winter has begun.

Lac du Lou, Val Thorens, in late March

[Val Thorens Guide @valthorensguide]

Water-skiing across the Lac du Lou is a Val Thorens late-season tradition

[Val Thorens Guide @valthorensguide]

Val Thorens - good for late-season skiing and open until 5th May

One of the central restaurants in VT, for a lunchtime or evening bite

The snow is still good high up - an advantage for the highest ski resort in Europe

[Val Thorens Guide @valthorensguide]

The snow line in the valley is quite high after warm temperatures. Still plenty of snow in VT, though, where skiers enjoy a break at La Maison

Brilliant slalom result for Dave Ryding today

@guardianeco 'there is a way out' is misleading in that even by taking all the steps mentioned in the article *now*, we don't undo the damage already done.

@RavReehal @g_gosden Of course we'll never know for certain, but I also feel that D would have done better than E.

[Val Thorens Guide @valthorensguide]

@g_gosden It's refreshing to hear an intelligent politician dealing in facts not fantasies.

@sorinc03 @PhinHarper Most experts say you need carrot and stick.
Plus if driving isn't restricted/discouraged, buses just get stuck in traffic.
