Could you get Sarah's take on the minimum (weight + width) reqs for gear? it feels like it should scale and that Sarah Gigante and Jasper Stuyven should have different minimum bike reqs And could you ask if she finds being called a 'bad' descender frustrating? By normal person standards she's speedy

Kim's new jersey is absolute 🔥 (not a question but please tell her that 😆) When the team told Kim that she'd got yellow did she think it was a mix up or the meanest prank ever 😭

It's like the scene from Fire Saga . . . but that's a satirical comment in a comedy film, it's supposed to be ridiculous, we shouldn't be in that actual position in real life 😭 "There's no gay people in R̶u̶s̶s̶i̶a̶" 𝘗𝘳𝘰 𝘊𝘺𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 "Statistically speaking, I think that's impossible"

I think Tudor were high enough ranked last year to be offered a wildcard automatically

I really like EF, Jayco and Rockets - I enjoy the bright colours (and spotting the riders in heli shots 😭) I quite like ineos from the heli shots or when it's overexposed (whenever I don't have to deal with the shorts mismatch😢) Really annoying that bahrain has that one 'decathalon rider' shoulder!

The sports where they're implemented fund their teams, cycling teams are purely sponsored. With all the different income sources coming in and cyclists payed relatively little it would be a nightmare to arrange, if van aert gets an appearance fee for a CX event does that come out the budget etc?

Pretty likely at this rate, they obviously need to keep this up but they seem to have a strong squad where lots of riders are performing really well. Deficit started at 4697 and they've knocked 2232 points off so far, that's 48% of the deficit in 2 months

Insane that a rider who couldn't brake properly was allowed to carry on in the peloton, that sounds ridiculously risky

not sure if someone is already on it but I've not been able to find any for cricket but I'd like to try live audio commentary (works for other sports :D I've listened to far too much test match special over the years)

I feel like roleurs are rooks, they go far, and they go fast in a straight line. climbers are clearly bishops going on the diagonal. GC leaders would be a king- well protected and the last rider standing when everyone else is gone

also featuring a mini rant about the search functions on various sites 😂 tell patrick to try out bluesky and tell us if he can deal with the search here :D

think it might have passed to ineos based on their luck this last week 😬

Narváez won his first race (if you count GC rather than the first day of racing)

Stage 8 of Tour de France Femmes! It was incredible, the yellow jersey could have gone 3 different ways and it was an hour of pure tension thinking one of them would get it then the other!
