Will Newton

I'm back, and I've made a substack! Before you get all excited, it's not about cycling... This is a blog covering all things paleo: dinosaurs, giant apes, early humans - the lot! It might not be your cup of tea, but I'd love if you checked it out❤️ imprintblog.substack.com/subscribe

@NairoInGreen vindicated 🫡

@InsidePeloton96 CAN I TALK MY SHIT

Coming out of Twitter retirement to tell you all about 10 of the weirdest dinosaurs that ever lived 👇 discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/weir…

@daniellloyd1 So sorry for your loss Dan. Your mum sounds like she was a legend.

Rest in peace Mum. Jose Lloyd. 1927 - 2025. At the time, the second oldest person in the UK to have had a child (I wasn't planned). Not verified, but that's what I was told... Mum gave me so much support in everything I did. She was one of the calmest souls you could ever meet. Unless I put Guns 'n Roses on.

@BenjiNaesen Absolutely splendid good sir - how's our favourite two-wheeled sport treating you?

@InsidePeloton96 Hope you're doing well, Will.

@HerrDwyer T.rex doesn't need longer arms to mess me up, Jim 🥊🦖

@InsidePeloton96 Isn't the phrasing 'Weirdest' offensive towards animals that can't defend themselves? ...arms too short to tweet reply! (stereotypically)

@NairoInGreen Juvenile - I reckon there are lots of species that are just juveniles of others, Liaoningosaurus for one👀.

@InsidePeloton96 I never get your opinion, are you team nanotyrannus or juvenile T-Rex?

@RyanDuff99 'Hell [Creek] yeah' Hope you're well Ryan!

@InsidePeloton96 I think I speak for everyone when I say 'Hell yeah'

@eddy_de_eagle Oh just look at those little arms, it's so cute!

@NairoInGreen That earns a spot in my upcoming 'top 10 prehistoric plants misidentified as dinosaurs' piece.

@InsidePeloton96 shocking Aachenosaurus omission Will, hope all is well

The newly reconstructed Spicomellus would have earned a spot had I written this piece before the latest study came out! Fortunately I've written all about this bizarre, spiky ankylosaur here. WARNING - not suitable for hugging 🚫🫂 discoverwildlife.com/dinosaurs/spic…

As news begins to emerge among the fallout from Eurosport disappearing, that One Cycling wants to do some kind of GCN+ in the future, we discuss on the latest episode of the DNF podcast all about GCN+ and Eurosport and the big cycling price hike. open.spotify.com/episode/75ljuo…

@irishpeloton @GeorgePuddle Surprised you haven't bought it off him yet for your archives.

@InsidePeloton96 They only exist now on @GeorgePuddle’s Sky+ box

I was invited on to a podcast recently. We reminisced about the GCN+ days and talked about stats and why some are good and also why some are shite. There’s also a story about when someone genuinely thought I was the current world road race champion. podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/rac…

Time to hang up the wheels after 17 years in the professional peloton, chasing every breakaway and living the dream. Proud of you, @JetseBol ❤️

Crack open the latest issue of @sciencefocus and check out this lively feature on Living Fossils, from our @GeosciencesEd alum @InsidePeloton96! Nice work from Will, already a talented sports writer, now an up-and-coming science writer as a side gig during his PhD. #fossilfriday

@ChaseBrownstein @SteveBrusatte @sciencefocus @GeosciencesEd Thanks Chase!

@SteveBrusatte @sciencefocus @GeosciencesEd @InsidePeloton96 Living fossils FTW! Congrats on this!

@SteveBrusatte @sciencefocus @GeosciencesEd Thanks so much Steve, means a lot coming from the master.

@InsidePeloton96 So proud of you!

This will never get old… 🗞️🐊

@GeorgePuddle I'll flog these dead crocs 4eva

@InsidePeloton96 Smashing it, we absolutely love it
