    The transition

    It sounds extreme but I think breaking them up and internationally, charging the people in charge with multiple serious crimes with long custodial sentences because of the damage to democracy, societies, children and their massive tax avoidance. The sickening courtcase of that psychopath in...

    Summer ride. Still only May & catching the tail end of that bizarre heat wave. Late afternoon, temps lovely, roads dusty, shorts and sandals riding weather. This is my favourite type of riding , just wantering. No garmin, no KOMs, just exploring by bike. And with the good weather I dusted down...

    So Jonas made that last climb a bit of a procession by attacking early (on the steepest part) and it worked, dropping everyone pretty much immediately. But Gall came a valient 2nd, 1:15 behind, slow and steady, a tactic that really works for him, no blow ups. Hindley 3rd confirming the podium...

    Yes I've been busy with family (half term) so have only caught the short YT highlights which never tells the full story & all the excitement is drained out of it. Very pleased that Sepp K gets a reward for all his climbing dom work. A stage in all 3 tours is no mean feat plus his Vuelta GC win...

    How an Electric Motorbike Made LA Feel Smaller, Easier and More Fun

    Well there is the R&D costs plus the much smaller market. But Chinese bike brands, often the same engineers who make the big Western brands bikes and frames, are now selling carbon frames and groupsets directly, for much lower prices, showing it can be done. Of course it's a bit wild west and a...

    How an Electric Motorbike Made LA Feel Smaller, Easier and More Fun

    When I see that price I wonder yet again how bikes are so expensive given how few parts needed compared to any motorbike or car. New Golf Polo EV launched today, price not confirmed but around £20K Looks v good as well. Specialized Crux gravel bike 26 model, just announced, the top range...

    That was clinical. Only caught the last 5km will try and see proper highlights later. So 2 big juicy mountain days to go then Rome and maybe Magnier will make it 4 at the colusseum!

    Vado 3 X

    It does sound heavy. I don't get why they need to be so heavy. Think that Tero X is also an elephant.

    A win is a win. A Grand Tour stage win is no small thing. Commentators have too much time to fill on air and talk bollox to fill the space. Used be in France or Italy if you won a single stage of TdF or Giro it was your ticket to open a bar or a restaurant when you retired, stick your bike on...

    Gall going steady eddie on these mountains and good to see. Pellizarri blows up and is back out at 19th GC dropping 13 places. He must be ill. Arensman & Hindley up to 3rd and 4th. Eulalio slips to 5th but still climbing well. Bernal claws way back into top ten, O'Connor not climbing at his...

    3rd stage for Astana XDS! Superb by local hero Bettiol Those X-Lab bikes ain't looking too shabby either! Only caught the last 3km highlights so no idea what unfolded. The weather here has changed dramatically from the cold north east we've had to bright hot sunshine. London hitting 32c early...

    Rally - some knowledge. Hurling biggest sport in Cork. Some Gaelic football. Vast knowledge of what is now premiership football especially Man U & Liverpool. Horseracing mostly National Hunt, plenty of betting experts at the bar, some rugby not as much as today but always Munster. The rest is...
