we stan a legend

Wout Van Aert holds the Roubaix cobble trophy high above his head and yells in celebration

2 years worth of relief in one picture 🥲

Van Aert: "This victory is for Michael", he dedicates it to Michael Goolaerts, his former team mate who died during the 2018 Paris-Roubaix

The near crash of 🇸🇮 Pogacar!

important #ParisRoubaix update:

A blue Shimano road bicycle is parked on a street, with a partial view of a person's arm and hand near the seat. The bike has black tires with tan sidewalls labeled "DURA-ACE C36," and the Shimano logo is prominently displayed on the frame. In the background, there are blurred figures of people, vehicles, and trees, suggesting an outdoor event or race setting.

New super bike just dropped. #parisroubaix

The cause for all those bugs this morning was that I got too giddy to push this:

📍LIVE STATS - see distance to go and location on the course profile.

This is just a first pass, more to come!

Working on a fix for one more error at the moment. Should be live soon

There was a small bug that caused the app to crash in the most recent update shipped yesterday. A fix has been deployed. If you see an error screen, wait 10s and then press “try again”. The app may crash a couple more times - keep trying. It’ll come back to life with new features!

The letter states that while the UCI accepts “objective and constructive criticism,” the governing body felt that some of Naesen’s comments cross a legal boundary.

'A massive affront to women's cycling' – Paris-Roubaix Femmes to get reduced TV coverage Less than an hour and a half of women’s race to be shown on TV this Sunday

this is a massive disservice to the sport, regardless of gender.

but the bigger problem is shoehorning the event in the same day or weekend as the men's event. i believe we're at a point with women's sports that piggybacking on men's events will only do more harm than good.

A topic discussed during a recent episode of the Escape Collective Mailbag.

Few have experienced the true wrath of a wet Paris-Roubaix, so I wrote about it. Enjoy 😄

Got around to downloading this and it’s awesome omg! It has no spoiler features, it shows you when the broadcasts start, and it has Bluesky chat built in! I am writing this from the app rn!

So if like me you have BS open while you watch races, you can just have this open and get all the features 🤯

Removed Sporza from Itzulia :(

Down to three broadcasters now

Noted! I thought it had TV only but will update now. Thanks for the contribution!

Definitely building from the bottom up is a good idea! I’ll keep this in mind. Might be a good way to start

🫶 thanks!

yes! the app will follow your system settings or you can specify Light/Dark mode in Settings > Appearance > Color mode

There is a feedback button in the app that opens up DMs (or email if not signed in). Or just @ us here!

If it breaks we’d definitely like to know! Otherwise, feedback about what you like, or what you feel is missing to help you follow the sport is also good!

Good questions - it means Apple has done an initial review of the app, but it has not been submitted for App Store acceptance yet

We would love so much to hear your thoughts about what we’re building, and how being a Pro Cycling fan could be easier. Whether you @ us or hop in our DMs - we’re always up for chatting about the sport.

For now, we’d love it if you would check out the Radial app: testflight.apple.com/join/WRV6WZ2H

The community that we share here means everything to us. We want Radial to be built out of our collective love for the sport, and guided by what our community feels is important.

This is still a work in progress. We have a lot of ideas, but we want to get this into Bluesky users' hands first.

The Radial app is also a place where you can connect and build community around the sport that we love - powered by your existing network on Bluesky.

To that end, all of our custom feeds and the Radial Labeller (@labeler.radial.racing) are built right into the app.

We want the Radial app to be a place that fans go to find out what’s happening, what’s coming up and what happened in the world of Pro Cycling.

We're starting with the basics, providing a way to see what races are happening right now, who is racing, how you can watch them, and the results.

We’re running early access for the Radial app via TestFlight on iOS. The link below will walk you through the process of installing TestFlight (if you don’t have it) and then installing the Radial app, in just a few clicks.

Hey folks! We’ve been hard at work on the next stage of Radial and we want you to be involved.

We’re making an app that makes being a Pro Cycling fan easier, and it’s built on ATProto, the technology that powers Bluesky.

We’re opening up early access to the app TODAY!
