Lion of Roubaix

Yes there's still much to do to grow the sport. And I'll still be as passionate and cheering our amazing athletes on during the races. Just from in front of the live coverage, rather than a keyboard. Thanks for your support over those 10 years. What an awesome ride its been! 🙂

It's also been nearly 10 years of passionately posting in support of womens cycling. When I started there was no Paris-Roubaix Femmes or TDFF. In fact there was hardly any coverage of women's cycling I could access - apart from Sarah and Dan's pod. Just look at the sport now. 2/3

So this is it. Thank you for everything and farewell. You may have noticed I've not posted much lately. In fact, its been 3 months. Three months of not scrolling this or any other social media has done wonders for my wellbeing and given me back precious time with my family. 1/3

Fem van Empel makes it ten wins in a row in Maasmechelen 🤩🌈💪👏 #CXWorldCup

Strong win for Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado, the season is building nicely. #SPRuddervoorde

🎙️ @demivollering : "Je n'ai jamais été à l'Alpe d'Huez mais je l'ai vu à la télévision quand j'étais enfant et je me suis dit "𝑂𝑘, 𝑖𝑙 𝑓𝑎𝑢𝑡 𝑞𝑢𝑒 𝑗'𝑎𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑒𝑟 𝑙𝑎̀-𝑏𝑎𝑠". Pouvoir le faire, c'est super excitant !" #TDFF2024 l @GoZwift

@DaveWhite99 Plus such a smooth and even elegant (while still immensely powerful) riding style. Maybe 'Elegant Destroyer of Worlds!' 🙂

@lionofroubaix When those lights change this year she has become Destroyer of Worlds! 😳 (In the nicest possible way of course, fair rider and many smiles off the course 😊👍)

Catching up on #SPOverijse. What a determined look in Fem's eyes. It's going to be a fantastic #CX season.

Where passion and hard work outweight crashes and defeats, that's where great champions are forged: this is #GirodItaliaWomen 🚴‍♀️💞 Là dove a vincere sono la passione e i sacrifici e non le cadute e le sconfitte nascono grandi campionesse: questo è il #GiroWomen 🚴‍♀️💞

The post-gravel world championship race feels. #TakeTheLead 📷 Nils Laengner x Schwalbe

Suddenly the Tours of Chongming and Guangxi seem like the places to be. Cracking image! 🔥
