must be mad being an F1 engineer and giving someone a chance in an F1 car and they're just like "oh my god everything about this is incredible it is the most beautiful thing I've ever driven" talking about the same car the regular drivers called an undriveable piece of shit six months ago

Put this together to help bike fans find their favourite teams, riders and writers on Bluesky. Not many out there so far, in fact I've not found a single rider on here, but the community's growing fast. Let me know if there's anyone I should add #CyclingBlueSky #BikeSky go.bsky.app/VRgb2gJ

The threat of the far right is understood through the lens of neo Nazi skinheads: minorities and marginal types will face violence, but as a member of the majority who is politically and culturally normal, I will never feel the ill effects of their rule and it will at least make the wokes go away.

Poorly disguising masks have fully fallen and fascists are no longer pretending to be anything else and yet our public discourse is still filled with hedging takes around "anti-immigration activists", "legitimate concerns" and "populism"

Matthieu van der Poel by contrast everything, punches right back when Pogačar attacks and finishes with a win for the ages. *Because he went for it, and gave a story.* And cycling is nothing without grace, panache and stories.

He was adored in West Germany from his stint with Hamburg. Hard working and eager to learn with a sparkle of specialness that crosses borders. His face adorned billboards and countless household goods, he was as big a star turn on TV light entertainment shows as he was on the field of play. RIP.

And now I am ready for everyone to tell me how wrong I am to have missed their favorite film, which is understandable. thebulletin.org/premium/2026...

Apparently it’s more aero. Which is definitely a thing at the speeds the pro’s go including uphill. (24 km/h the magic number so they say). Surely it must compromise the gear ratio steps though? I’m still hanging onto rim brakes so perhaps this disqualifies me from this conversation…

Highly recommend the 1993 album Elemental. In hindsight it must be Orzabal’s apogee. It gets better on each subsequent listen. So many great melodies and exquisitely produced.
