As some of you will have read/seen, we recently regained financial and editorial control of PSN (PlaySportsNetwork) from Warner Bros Discovery, which means some changes for me. I could never have imagined when I joined GCN at its inception in 2012 that we'd go from a small start-up YouTube channel, to multiple channels with many millions of subscribers, billions of views, to starting a successful subscription service that showed the biggest races in the world and a heap of amazing cycling documentaries. GCN’s journey with Eurosport and live racing is something I’ll never forget - we achieved a hell of a lot in a very short time. I think we made some really positive changes for cycling, and I will always be very proud of that. However, it's been a tough 8 months or so for GCN - the shuttering of GCN+, and now the website, has meant we've lost a lot of very talented, hard working colleagues who are incredibly passionate about the sport. The show must go on, though. GCN is still full of amazing people, and more importantly, supported by an incredible community of cyclists. I firmly believe that the next part of our journey will be more exciting than ever - I want to be part of, and instrumental in that next adventure, the next chapter. Unfortunately, that means I will no longer be on The Breakaway or Eurosport’s cycling commentary. It's a part of my job that I will dearly miss, but more than that, I will miss the fantastic group of people (on screen/mic and off) who I had the privilege of working with there for the last few years. I really couldn't have asked for a better team to spend three weeks at a time with. Thanks to all of you who have been so kind in your messages of support for GCN these last few months - it's really meant the world to everyone at the company. As an aside, I know a lot of you have been waiting for the GCN+ documentaries to find a new home, and the good news is that they'll be available again via a YouTube membership that we're setting up LATER TODAY. I'm heading out to Florence this week for the Grand Départ, so I look forward to bumping into some of you there. Thanks for reading. Dan

Then decided to do a trial build to see if everything else thread and tube related is fine. It’s fine and just had to clear out holes of paint and run a few taps down the threads.

A Saturday evening question, helmets…worth buying one with all the tech or just a standard helmet good enough, obviously I’ve had a bang to the head and a standard giro saved my life pretty much, would you pay £200 over a £70 helmet? @UKMTB_Chat @Absolutemtb1

I've never lost anything off the back, is the usual response we often get. #ripley. Look at the state of this load. Blatant #insecureload, with no load security, which decided it wasn't staying on the trailer, mid roundabout. #opsbikes

The rider of this Sur Ron electric motorcycle thought he could ride dangerously through the city, pulling wheelies and riding on the pavement. He was introduced into the front of one of our new Volvos and arrested. He was already disqualified and wanted by Police in Scotland.

If you have worn the leaders jersey for 8 days into the final stages with a 2 plus minute gap to your first rival then having your teammates protect that is not asking for a gift. Instead, it is asking for respect and trust. Just as they have always trusted Sepp to be there when it counts, now they should trust him to finish the job when it counts. He earned the chance, now let him finish it.
