Binche…quite the aggressive grass line here. Immediately followed by Magnier failing to do the same thing

Rare to see a gravel race organizer speak the truth about the discipline 😴 Not sure if a primary team competition actually solves this but it’s interesting

It’s unusual now, but there was a time when the strongest guy didn’t ALWAYS win

Be me. Buy some souvenir Sambal from Malaysia in the airport at 2 am. Transfer planes in Doha and they want to confiscate my sealed, in bag, duty free sauce because it’s a “liquid over 100ml”. Make a fuss. Convince them to gate check a plastic bag of sauce. ☠️😎

3 am flight from Kuala Lumpur to Doha…certainly nice to get home sooner but at what cost. Interesting that so many airports outside the US basically operate 24 hrs a day

...can remember when then 19 year old "McNuts" was leading solo in a stage of the Dubai Tour in 2018 and an upset win for the small Rally team win seemed possible, but he was reeled in close to the finish and the social media manager briefly lost it

Raced him on the road this year at Gila. He won

Gonna go ahead and say he wins by 1:30-2:00

I was shocked that they were in Portugal this year

What do you mean mostly? It’s a ProSeries race and visma/uae are going at it??

Niche, but if you like real bike racing, Luxembourg has been a really good watch

This is why (like a huge dork/nerd) I travel with a scale, grinder, kettle, and aeropress at all times. You never know when you might end up in…FLORIDA

House Republicans failed to muster the necessary votes to back a proposed constitutional amendment that would set membership of SCOTUS at nine, although they did remind everyone that the number of justices is not enshrined in the Constitution and can be amended at any time by statute.

Lots of bike racing today, but check out the Philly Classic if you can - it’s not a huge race by euro standards but it’s a Big Deal for American cycling

The news from Volta Portugal and Milligan this week is just brutal. At risk in and out of races from drivers and it just seems so random

It's ok to be silly. But the fact that every other AI company is rolling out variants of the same story after it earned OpenAI so much coverage should make you suspicious.

if you're reading all these articles as they come out and assuming the story is "these models are escaping containment and causing danger" and not "this is a PR campaign by companies desperate to build hype" I think you are very silly.

The other thing that cracks me is that it’s some how just FINE to illegally park in the street all day, sometimes in dangerous places.

I have, with my own eyes, watched my tax dollars in the form of missiles as they hit buildings inhabited by civilians. I'd much prefer subsidizing a grocery story I don't use.

The Flanders-Baloise team will stop at the end of the season, long expected but confirmed now. Can't find a replacement sponsor after Flemish govt. pulled funding. Has been running for 33 years and sent over a 100 riders onto other pro teams. Press release www.teamflanders-baloise.be/nieuws (🇳🇱)

They had them intermittently. But that was too much. I’m not normally squeamish about fans but that was wayyyyy out of control.

Could be. Though points run deep and those matter. More of a matter of the top pulling away from the rest I think
