@mrendell @daniellloyd1 I hope this isn’t a done deal and there is a chance to change it? I have grown up watching the TDF on ITV. This can’t happen

@daniellloyd1 Thanks for your kind words, Dan.

This is not good news for cycling in the UK. Firstly, I'd like to say that there are a lot of passionate cycling fans working at WBD, in front of and behind the scenes. The company is automatically 'disliked' by a cohort of the general public because it's a huge international conglomerate, but Eurosport have been showcasing cycling since 1991. They have, and continue to do a hell of a lot for our sport. On the flip side, exclusivity on the biggest race in the world, the ONLY race where non-cycling fans might tune is, is very worrying. It's a significant barrier to entry into what is already a relatively niche sport in the UK. ITV not only do a fantastic job themselves of broadcasting the race, live and with easily accessible highlights, they provide a gateway to WBD. The fans they 'convert' each July are more likely to subscribe to Discovery+/Max/Eurosport once they've realised how amazing our sport is. They must have made lifelong cycling fans of millions of people over the last few decades (including me). Anyway, I really feel for Ned, Dave, Pete, Matt, Daniel, Gary and all the others behind the ITV production - thank you for all you've done for the sport.

@Telegraph 😮

The finishers. #BM100

@GmanSA17 @visconti_es No, those Belgian ‘fans’ were throwing urine and beer at him. I stood next to them.

@Cyclingnewsfeed As a consistent back marker in CX races I know you need to keep an eye on the front runners , respect front runners . Check every 30 seconds if they are coming but still enjoy your own race

Felipe Nystrom, of Costa Rica, being shoved aside by the World Champ. Nystrom is a fan favourite in Belgium and his story of coming back from drug use and depression is remarkable. cyclingnews.com/news/nystrom-f…

@PBCycleWrites That’s reaction to being walked into , can’t see anything wrong . No fault for MvDP

@philgaimon A boxing match would have been stopped . End of storey

@BenjiNaesen Personally I wouldn’t have started braking until after the press photographers. Then would expect a run off as any other stage. Looks like he did exactly that but instead of a raid there was a barrier with a crown stood in front . The poor lady probably slowed the impact

Helicopter angle of Remco's crash, what's your take? #LaVuelta23

@jens_dekker Door wide open, into the corner level. shouldn’t have turned in on Pidcock into his racing line

What the hell did Pidcock think he was doing there? That was a ridiculous move, I really, really hope he gets disqualified #Glasgow2023

@elonmusk The new X symbol is terrible. It just looks shite . Sack the team it should be better (don’t sack the team)

@lilyallen Fields are my favourite place to pass out x

whilst i’m able to take responsibility for my own actions i can hand on heart say that a big part of the reason i would get myself into these states was because of the relentless bullying and constant surveillance and scrutiny this man had me under. FOR NO REASON. Anyway, karmas a bitch. I couldn’t be happier at this time in my life. absolutely thriving.

@BriSmithy @MarkCavendish Why the hell not… what else are we to do 🤷‍♂️🔥

In my opinion...although still raw...Cav will finish his career at the Tour in 2024. He has the record so that does not come into it...but...he will want to finsh the race that shaped his career @MarkCavendish

@MarkCavendish ‘one more year! One more year! One more year!’ 🥇

@Telegraph Well I thought it was freakin’ epic

🎸 Guns N’ Roses were just too hoary, too clichéd, and too far past their best days. Time for new blood on the Glastonbury stage next year.

@robinhobb @JaneJohnsonBakr Hope you get well soon , I am sure you will 👍

@JaneJohnsonBakr I tested positive on Feb. 11. I've followed directions for recovery, but tonight I am in bed at 7pm as I am shaky tired. I can't write. Can't read for long. Brain fog so bad I keep losing my cup of tea and making another one. It's not 'just a bad cold '

Hey people! Get on out there and accept the risk of brain and organ damage, chronic fatigue and a malfunctioning immune system. Just stop moaning about it and get back to work to make money for us!

@reddan41 Hope he’s ok 👍 take me back to the 90s

Had to ring for an ambulance for my dad yesterday who was having chest pains, call handler said there’s around a two hour wait it’ll be quicker if you can take him yourself!!

@MarkCavendish You would have smashed that , no bother

@robinhobb Me and my wife @nic_tastic have decided, if we could choose to reread books after having total amnesia, it would be yours. Please crack on and write us some more 😊

@JimmyKershaw1 Hello Jimmy 🙂 Sorry to tell you this via tweeter but you need to know! Your course record at Bestwood Village parkrun was beaten at the weekend! Assuming it will be your highest priority to reclaim the title, when can we expect you? 😉
