My brain, approximately every 10-12 minutes today: 'hey, don't forget that Wout won Roubaix'. (I categorically do not need the reminder, to be clear.) #cycling

Being a WvA fan summed up in one gif (and it's why we love him). We go again on Sunday! #cyclingsky

When the chase group in the E3 start Doing Tactics when MVDP is literal inches away from them

Literally became interested in this team because their kit is so unhinged and now I'm fully invested

(It is, I accept, possible that I am a somewhat less elite athlete than Victor.)

A long period in Spain? Going to bed at 8pm? I feel like these are sacrifices I, too, would be willing to make - where do I sign up?

Girls will be like ‘I needed this’ and it’s literally just

Inspired by that episode of Friends where Joey wears all of Chandler's clothes?

Not the main storyline by any means, but I'm obsessed with Edo Affini finishing 17th and ahead of many of the GC guys in a climb-y, uphill finish stage #ParisNice

I work for a women's sport organisation and have had to explain who Denise Lewis is to multiple colleagues. Though to be fair the exchange rate (the number of their references they have to explain to me) is still in my favour

Embarrassing for them that they have to follow that really

Fantasy podium (for the plot): Vos, Mags, Puck

Imagine only watching the men’s race. Imagine hating fun that much #StradeBianche

Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus to my fellow Welsh in exile

Me: oh yeah, the first serious attack let’s go
TNT Sports: ok, but first: adverts
#OHN26

I love the idea of some hotel receptionist saying “And we’re looking forward to welcoming Lord Mandelson next week as well“ and Hoyle saying “wait what”

This attitude is extremely relateable and I’m here for it

The Giro is the best Grand Tour and no one will ever change my mind

And literally no one who isn't contractually required to will call it that

arguably the biggest news of the week that Lisa Nandy is currently doing something related to her brief

I mean it's working pretty well as a strategy so far. Highly improbable on a number of levels, but the world in which the ultimate Labour consequence of this is Rayner as leader with Burnham as her deputy would cause me much mirth in an increasingly mirthless world.

I wonder how much longer this will remain a thought experiment (minus the by election candidate bit)? I'm amazed we don't already know

A rare good news story in the current hellscape

Mads better not be too badly injured. I'm planning to make supporting his #TDF green jersey bid my entire personality over the summer, this cannot be threatened

We are so back. (And I've finally decided I do in fact like that NSN kit. It's unhinged, but in a good way.)

In verse?

Come to have your heart ripped out by number 2, stay for the exceptional pun at the end of number 1

Buckle up, fellow Wout fans

Matty Brennan, just in general (see also: Cat Ferguson). The continued emotional rollercoaster of being a Wout fan. What does PFP do next? Mads' green jersey campaign at the Tour. Continuing to refuse to ever say or write 'avec Zwift'.

Me today, on the tiredness strugglebus: why did I sleep so badly last night?
Me last night: yes, I shall watch #thetraitors immediately followed by Wrexham beating Forest on penalties
(Absolutely worth it though.)
