Ouch!

Is there a ticker for tour of Britain and when does gcn coverage start?

Currently sat in a kids play area somewhere near the course in Cirencester.

I feel insulted by this post. I have a tiny dick and have never gratuitously revved my engine nor acted anti socially. Such sweeping generalisations are both offensive and prejudicial against those of us with little willys who just want to be treated as full and upstanding members of the community.

Full backstory in the neighbours thread, but what is the process if someone just aggressively mowed a wildflower area when there were certainly still skylarks resident there a few days before? The area is notionally an area of communal land designated as a wildflower meadow but the neighbour in question took the unilateral decision to hire a tractor and flatten it all because it looks messy out of his window.

I should note that I don’t think prosecution in this case is either likely or proportionate but I am interested to know what the process is in case he continues to be a twat.

Punk laundry and Ebeneezer Goode meme are literally my life now 😭

I don’t like smoking and I’m not one to promote it but there is an insouciant charm to that cigarette picture.

Skinny’s Instagram story showing what that wind is like… looks unpleasant

Also, with a wean at home, I hope he uses this race as an opportunity to catch up on some sleep 🤣.

It’s a long race and skinny was several hours down after the first couple of days last year because of a tummy bug. I’d be surprised if he imagined himself being this far down before the race but he’s got depths of grit and determination I could never imagine. I wouldn’t count him out. He also seems very self motivated and driven by his own performance rather than his overall ranking. He’s a racer for sure but that race is with the best possible version of himself. I mainly just hope he manages to have fun and get all that he’s hoping for out of the race.

Skinny at (or near) CP1 in 26th place. Any other fourmers riding?

I’ve not read the thread because I don’t want spoilers, but is there a highlights show of the men’s RR? I can find the full race on iplayer but cant see any highlights shows.

I thought tradition was to always put the heavier rider in the pilot seat anyway 🤷‍♂️?

Well done! They got too greedy promoting too soon! Qf6 then Qg7 would have done it…

… not that I would have spotted it under time controls 🤣

Why not stuff a bottle down your front a la the Norwegians?

I honestly think he took a surreptitious, on-bike, nature break and was showering down.

This is exactly what our household concluded!

Yeah, acknowledged and apologised for:

I don’t know if this works but these clips of the Tour Féminin des Pyrénées are wild

If the link doesn’t work, look at the most recent Instagram reel from @howtheracewaswon

Still so much jealousy.

What are the rules on camping in Denmark? Are you wild camping or stopping in a local camp site?

I saw some article on road.cc saying that Vingegaard is going to ride the TdF on 1x. Looking forward to some more FD drama!

These are the ones my wife got me. It’s too soon to say whether they help but I think they are.

I have a case of plantar fasciitis and my wife bought me some soft insoles online. They came with the same "stepping on shit feeling" which she shared on her work whatsapp for the lols. Apparently, this is a direct translation of a genuine Chinese phrase for soft underfoot.

Makes me smile every time I wear the insoles though :)

Ah yes, you are probably right.

I don't know if this has anything to do with Ben Healey's decision, but in triathlon, Lucy Charles Barclay has recently struggled with Brexit rules that limit the amount of time she can spend in the Schengen zone without a visa. She used up most of her time with a couple of big blocks of training and then almost had to skip a race as a result. An Irish passport would solve all those kinds of issues.

No idea but some young lad in full Trinity kit has ridden past my door in Oxfordshire at least 3 times in the last few weeks. I’m assuming a local talent but don’t know who.

This turned out to be a pretty helpful post… thank you.

I went out to re-check the cassette and it has 11sp printed all over it. I count the sprockets and find there are only 10, causing me to scratch my head until I find the missing sprocket hiding another bike. 🤷‍♂️

Mystery averted, no need for new shifters… just some cables and I’m done.
