If your friends say cycling is a boring sport to watch, show them this video. 😂 We'll always remember the epic finale between clumsy Arrieta and Eulalio in Potenza, I actually feared they will crash into another in last 200m. GRANDE CASINO!

I've missed a lot of the women's Vuelta this past week but saw the finale up the crazy Angliru. It's also made sure that if I ever visited there, I'd go full @AnnavdBreggen on my gearing, smart choice. Or even much lower given a I'm 53yr old, not a pro, and not talented.

💣 Y lo mejor llegó al final. L'Angliru no defraudó y nos regaló un espectáculo antológico. De la victoria de etapa de Stiasny al triunfo global de Paula Blasi. Revive lo mejor de la etapa 7️⃣ en 1' 💥 And the best was saved for last. Angliru didn't disappoint and treated us to a truly memorable spectacle. From Stiasny's stage victory to Paula Blasi's overall win, relive the highlights of stage 7️⃣ in 1' #LaVueltaFemenina

@TeamEmiratesUAE @AdamYates7 @giroditalia Yatesy, you were in my @velogames Giro team.... 🙁😩. Seriously though, you looked well banged up & wish you and all the crash victims of all teams a speedy recovery.

Unfortunately, we can confirm that @AdamYates7 will not start stage 3 of the @giroditalia. You can find a full medical update below ⤵️
Dr. Adrian Rotunno (Medical Director): "Unfortunately we were badly affected by the crash on stage 2 yesterday. Jay Vine suffered a concussion and an elbow fracture. Marc Soler has a pelvic fracture. At this stage, neither should require surgery.
“Adam Yates suffered a heavy abrasions and a laceration to his left ear. He was initially assessed on site for concussion, and cleared to continue, but subsequently he has shown delayed concussive symptoms. He will not take the start of stage 3 today.
“All three are under observation of our medical staff and will travel home in the coming days to continue their recovery and rehab."

@laflammerouge16 That crash was one of the worst I can ever recall in terms of the size & impact (obviously not comparing to deaths like we've sadly seen). The closest I can recall was this TdF crash, but think yesterday was worse. 48 secs in on this video youtu.be/dQzOM1fVqsQ?si…

@Domestique___ 😢 Feel for him. He toughed that one out but feared it looked pretty bad. Hope he gets a chance at la Vuelta??

@seatsixtyone Was there last Nov. Did you come across from Aswan, I'd presume so, no other choice!? I really enjoyed the desert over to there too, including the "services" for a loo break! Went with @Travelsphere. Pity the Middle East war has affected bookings to places like this and Jordan.

@JonathanPieNews You know Jonathan this might come as a shock but people are allowed a private income. I wonder who pays you and do they know what utter shite they got for their money?

The reason he became an MP is because someone paid him to do so.

@SpaceCadet_74 @JasonBradbury The Commodore C64 was an absolute beast! Good sound & great graphics! It was the Apple vs Android rivalry at the time eh? (Android btw.. 😉).

@JasonBradbury We were a C64 family - Commando and Daley Thompson's Decathlon were the earliest ones I remember.

Can’t quite believe the ZX Spectrum turns 44 today! 🙏 I’m even less willing to acknowledge I’m more than a decade older than it!
On 23 April 1982, Sir Clive Sinclair unveiled a rubber-keyed, rainbow-striped 8-bit computer at the Churchill Hotel in London. It cost £125. It sold over five million units. It contributed significantly to the launch of the British IT industry.
Around twenty thousand+ games were made for it including of course Jet Set Willy, Atic Atac and my personal fave - The Way of the Exploding Fist 🤜 💥
In the middle of an AI arms race, it’s worth remembering how simple the computing experience used to be.
What was your first ZX Spectrum game?🕹️

@NeilDotObrien The PM should be talking to a German airline about them choosing to cut flights due to fuel shortages brought on by the orange buffoon running the US? We've as much influence on that as King Cnut did on telling the tide not to come in..

@JaneGerson @NeilDotObrien Ah, OK, thanks Jane, didn't know that. Still leaves the question of despite 14yrs of power, the Tories didn't change this and just point score off it now. Or so it feels to me at least.

@davidwilson73 @NeilDotObrien The issues go back to the earliest days of new Labour. The 1999 Macpherson report was a landmark.

@SimonDanczuk So just over half the people voted to leave on the basis of what turns out to be lies and have to live with the outcome forever? They didn't even know what version of Brexit they were voting for, and they got the worst. Despite a strong majority wishing to return to the EU?

@Domestique___ And Roger Hammond deserves the right to call it a ridiculous race! Was gutted when against Bäckstedt, he finished 3rd (albeit I claimed Maggie as an honoury Welsh man)..

@faustocoppi60 Further proof that as much as I love being Welsh & Wales, I ought to have been born in Flanders where this amazing sport rules.
