@maxinefilby @JennyCopnall @ORION_coaching Maybe relying on getting a wild card spot like Grant Ferguson at Rio.

@JennyCopnall @ORION_coaching That was my first thought too!

I don’t see the 5k world record attempt anywhere.

@Hermesparcels @RussellRowles Sent parcel hasn't been delivered, last tracking update showed due for delivery 9/12. Can you help as your automated systems have not been able to assist?

Used to hate training in the rain on the bike - running sessions in the rain are almost enjoyable especially when legs are on a good day

Feature Q&A: Rupert Graham (@SpiritTifosiRT ) More lockdown features – this one with Rupert Graham who lives in Woking (West of London) velouk.net/2020/06/29/fea… Brought to you by @velotech_uk & @RotorRace

I get a fair few messages from youngsters asking about power, weight, ftp and I think they’re the wrong questions being asked. So I’ve recorded 2 videos on “How to Turn Pro” with the help of some friends, this first one for juniors and u16s. Enjoy youtu.be/yGBXFfMFlks

What looks like a talent gap is often a focus gap. The "all star" is often an average to above average performer who spends more time working on what is important and less time on distractions. The talent is staying focused.

Chose one whole number on a scale of one to five....... 3.7

I’ve got to announce a plan and trust me I do have a plan, I’m just not sure how that plan is going to work just yet. Give me a few weeks and maybe I’ll work it out.

@GavinAtkinsUK I used to set the sat nav to avoid motorways and shortest route on the way home from road trips - usually did the trick for making it more interesting

What I’d like is a GPS device that sent you on the road less travelled. All modern GPS apps try to get you into the busiest biggest roads. I want precisely the opposite - send me the quietest route possible just to avoid as much of humanity as possible!

In case you're wondering if it makes sense to sponsor a cycling team. Yes, yes it does. Hansgrohe says they grew 30 % faster than expected thanks to their sponsorship of @BORAhansgrohe. In Germany, their brand recognition has tripled over the last year. expansion.com/directivos/dep…

Second on the stage was local @TomMazzone - we chat about his great result ...

No goal worth achieving is easy. The path to any kind of excellence is always paved with obstacles. Grit comes from learning to see the struggle as a challenge—a test of resolve. Keep rising to the occasion, and eventually you wind up looking forward to it. #FridayMotivation

Common error is presuming ‘training numbers’ dictate race performance, but they often fail to translate. We become obsessed with the plan and overlook physical and psychological processes of racing. This results in ‘head scratching’ ... but they’re capable of so much more 🤷‍♂️

Some days I hate bikes, today is one of them #simplejobsneversimple

Got a bit carried away & ended up doing over 3hrs on the mountain bike after work - more than I used to do when I was racing

This beautiful ensemble turns up next week for my ⁦@SpiritTifosiRT⁩ gang. Thanks for stepping in and turning this round so quickly for us. I thoroughly recommend ⁦@luccasports⁩ ⁦@VergeSport⁩ poly.google.com/view/2417NaqCp…

Long shot but if anyone on the slopes today found a pair of Oakleys in a Shaun White Signature glasses pouch they are my sons pm me @saalbach much love all

If golf and soccer switched announcers...
