Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 26/09/2026What a bloody race that was. Outstanding. Is Demi Vollering the first female triple crown winner? 100
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Steve Hanley of The Fall (1979-1998). His bass parts were foundational to the sound of the group, never flashy but always interesting. Even Mark E Smith described him as being responsible for the Fall sound. 011
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I was skeptical about the neutralisation of this final Vuelta stage but fair play that was great entertainment, like the final Tour stage. 000

Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Genuinely thought Coquard was never going to win a grand tour stage, really happy for him. 000

Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 27/08/2026That’s it, the debate is settled. Enric Mas is the greatest cyclist of all time. 0263
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Fuck’s sake. Pog going to have the jersey the entire race here isn’t he? 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I assume Felix Gall has gone to a wind tunnel and this TT position just works best for him but it looks absolutely awful. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 08/08/2026This TDFF has been phenomenal already, tomorrow is going to be insane. 010
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Main thing I’ve learned from watching the Tour de France on Australian coverage is that Burger King is called Hungry Jacks over there. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Well that was an embarrassing Champions League adventure for Hearts. At least in 06 they got through a round. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Bruno Armirail’s skinsuit looking pretty ill-fitted, would expect better from Visma-LAB and their budget and preparation. 100
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Paredes channelling the spirit of Nicolas Burdisso after the full time whistle. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Regardless of what happens in these final 3km, this is a great ride from Remco. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 19/07/2026We’re in one of the few scenarios where I’d actually prefer Pog to chase the stage win. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Never thought I’d look forward to the sprint days in the Tour much more than the mountains. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I’m probably doing some revisionist history/recency bias here but UAE now feel worse than Sky 10 years ago for taking the fun out of grand tour racing. 100
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Incredible that anything can make me long for the old school cash-in-a-brown-envelope corruption of the Blatter era but here we are. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I don’t like this TTT format for stage 1 of a grand tour because I like seeing rouleurs, sprinters, breakaway specialists etc getting a chance in the jersey before the GC mob take over in the mountains. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 21/06/2026Just seen the Tour de Suisse final GC. Pog winning a 5 stage race by 6 and a half minutes, I have no words. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Daan Hoole riding for a French team in the Dutch TT jersey and Bruno Armirail riding for a Dutch team in the French TT jersey is much too confusing and frankly shouldn’t be allowed. 020
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Can’t believe how much Ben Tulett looks like Steven Kruijswijk on the bike. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Yes Wout! Definitely thought he’d gone too early there. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Don’t think I’ve ever seen so much bad luck amongst the favourites in a Paris-Roubaix before. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 27/03/2026That is one of the most absurd finishes I’ve ever seen. What were the Vermeersch group doing? 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Great time for MVDP to look like he’s going to get caught after going solo for the first time I can remember. 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 27/03/2026The men’s cycling landscape at the moment is insane. The level of dominance MVDP and Vingegaard have in classics and stage races respectively is one thing, the fact that Pogi can basically turn up and beat them by as much as they beat everyone else by beggars belief. 020
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 07/03/2026What a bloody ride from Chabbey! I thought she was cooked when she got dropped on that last gravel sector, what a recovery! #stradebianche 000

Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 08/11/2025As a big calcio fan, I always bristle when people use the old ‘boring, defensive’ cliches because by and large they aren’t true these days, but today, well… 100
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 12/10/2025TNT/Discovery Plus in the UK just sacking off showing Paris-Tours wholesale? What the fuck are we paying £31 a month for? 100
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 28/09/2025Similar to last year in some ways. Pog attack with 100km to go with a trade team mate (Sivakov last year iirc) before dropping them and winning solo (safe to assume he won’t be caught from here). 000
Iain @spakedistrict.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Noticed that after the Discovery+ app/website have updated, there seem to be no ad-free options for cycling coverage whereas for the worlds TTs earlier this week there were. I’ve emailed for clarification but looks like the enshittification of the UK’s TV cycling coverage is complete. 000
