@nedboulting. Weird thing. Last week, the town of Chateauroux cropped up twice in separate conversations for no reason, causing me to read up on it. A day later, I bought ‘The Road Bike’ and there it is again (and again) …so I’m going to visit next month. Love the book too.

Today’s fantastic #tourdefrance2024 stage spoiled only by Visma’s awful kit.

@daniellloyd1 They want to eliminate luck, which is a vital part of any sport.

I understand why team managers don't like gravel/cobbled stages in Grand Tours. They think only about results for their sponsors ROI, and it adds risk that they normally want to avoid.
My argument would be that these stages are HUGELY appealing to an audience, and likely to grow the fan base.
Wouldn't it great if 5th place on GC in a few years time got your sponsors as much publicity as winning this year, because the sport has grown so much?

Dwi ddim yn deall be di’r problem yn cael cymal gravel ar y #TourDeFrance2024. Doedd na ddim lonydd tarmac ar un adeg, a mae lwc yn elfen pwysig o chwaraeon. Mae’r timau eisiau rheoli popeth ond hwnna’n diflas.

@friebos Thank you for the Ullrich book which I’ve just devoured. I was shivering at the Galibier summit in 1998. I feel a bit guilty now for cheering his demise that day.

@lionelbirnie Hi Lionel, Saw you pass on the climb from Brides-Les-Bains yesterday. Reason for increased crowds on mountains seems clear to me. About 30% of fans rode e-bikes. That’s a new phenomenon.

Has anyone got a high quality photo of Bangor City's old Farrar Road ground that I can reproduce with a credit? @Bangor1876

Gwerful Mechain was a medieval Welsh poet and she’s considered to be the only female medieval Welsh poet from whom a substantial body of work is known to have survived.
