I am honestly humbled when I watch races like this, to see the kind of grit on display where these athletes seem destroyed and then keep going and get back in the mix. Most of us are so easily broken.

I don't follow Formula One, but good on them for using subtitles for the hard of hearing…

To my surprise and satisfaction, in middle age I have become the kind of guy who buys two of the same garment at a time, in different colours.

I know exactly why, poindexter. It’s because it looks cool as fuck

The strange sculpture reverses a recurring Stone Age motif of humans confronting dangerous predators.

Never. Never. Never buy books from Amazon. I mean, try not to buy anything from there, but never ever books. They are destroyers of the thing I hold dearest. futurism.com/artificial-i...

This is central Paris. It’s an authorised bathing place. You can’t even swim in the sea much of the time near London. Fuck the water companies and the governments that let that happen.

That was special. But it’s also cool to be on the Alpe. I was there the year they did it twice in one stage, and on the Tourmalet for the Femmes. Just don’t get in the way of the fucking race 🤦‍♂️

think what you will of the Amaury family, but the NYT's entirely negative portrait of their alleged greed & lucrative ownership of the Tour de France misses a crucial part of their business model while the Tour is the only cycling race around that generates 1/ www.nytimes.com/2026/07/24/b...

nytimes.com

Is the Amaury Family, Owners of the Tour de France, Hurting Cycling?

The Amaurys of Paris own the race, but won’t share any of the $170 million in media revenue. Sponsors and riders say their resistance is dooming the sport.

In French ‘runner up’ is ‘vice-champion’ 🤣 mdr

Was there 2001-2. I had some great nights out but not many memories :) Did a lot of snowboarding and hiking while I was there. Been back to the region a bit to ride, plus got to follow the first TDFF, which started in CLF and went to Le Mont Dore etc.

A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”

Do you think if they let Pogi win Roubaix he will retire sooner and we can have nice things again? 😂

I would definitely still see that as a bad descent, in relative terms, given how he has in the past put Pogacar in trouble on the downhills. Conclusion then that Pog has just moved up another level again?

Interesting, didn’t see that. How to explain his bad descent then?

Must have absolutely rinsed himself. Too tired after the Giro?

Tenth anniversary of Cameron announcing his resignation - possibly the worst UK PM - Johnson for all his venality and Truss for ideological idiocy don’t come close to the long term damage that resulted from Cameron’s Brexit referendum gamble for party management reasons. Truly terrible judgement…
