Recap of the men's Tour of Britain for @thecyclingpodcast.bsky.social – in which we discuss two riders at opposite ends of their careers. Ben Swift, in his 18th and final pro season; and I talk to Ben Wiggins, whose final day fireworks bagged him a top-10 on GC: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

24 months? That’s almost two years!

Even if these ego grifters are somehow “expanding the tournament’s audience”, is it the sort of audience they want/need? Is someone who laps up 30 seconds of vacuous #content actually going to sit down and watch a set/make it through a match? Did the #USOpen think about any of that? Doubtful.

Graham Willgoss @grahamwillgoss.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Players continue to suffer the consequences of letting these dickheads in. What did the US Open expect giving some of the best seats in the house to all-about-me influencers (as if there’s any other type)? Just invite people who actually give a shit about tennis. www.skysports.com/tennis/news/...

Not a brilliantly-thought-through newsletter headline, given the context of the summer. 37°C in Nice today.

Right? Both always do their homework. Saying “I don’t have the words” isn’t a great look when you’ve known what’s coming and might have taken a moment or two beforehand to jot a few things down on paper.

Listening to poor old Mark Austin flounder his way through two hours of eclipse coverage on Sky News is possibly an even more fascinating spectacle than the main event.

Eric, so sorry for such a tardy reply – I’m only now re-emerging into the light! Thanks for following the along with us. Despite the overall being a done deal, it still had the feeling of a compelling race, day by day. And that double-header on d’Huez to finish was superb. Cheers man 🤝

Our #TourdeFrance Stage 3 ep is up, n’all. Mountains! Another explosive GC day and an eerie ol’ finish on Les Angles, with spectators asked to stay away and not a soul on the side of the road in the final 400m.

Stage 2 of @thecyclingpodcast.bsky.social at the #TourdeFrance2026, ICYMI. Francois returns to the pod for the first time in a long time, and I tell the story behind how Freddie Mercury wrote the theme for the 92 Olympics for Montserrat Caballé.

*Just* enough time to catch up with yesterday’s first stage of the #TourdeFrance2026 with @thecyclingpodcast.bsky.social in Barcelona. We speak to Rod Ellingworth and Tom Southam about the “triple-T”, and record on the steps of the Olympic Stadium on Montjuic. Wherever you get your podcasts 🎧

The annoying thing is that immigration is down, boat crossings are down, the economy has been pretty stable, we’re reintegrating with the EU, NHS waiting lists have gone down… what else do people want Starmer to do? We’re a small, poor, stupid country. The right won’t let us be better.

Cheers Simon – looking forward to the Tour enormously (aren’t we all?), but this not-Dauphiné has already been quietly excellent in the meantime.

FIFA lying about how many tickets have been sold for the Gordon Gekko World Cup. Price actual fans out of it and this is what you get. I hope your stadiums are emptier than they were in Qatar.

For sure. Looked like MvdP was done, and in typical MvdP fashion found something from somewhere to go again in that last km. And what a shame we didn’t get to explore those other permutations.
