Hmm. Two big @use_exposure lights on the aero bars of a @iamspecialized Shiv… a skinsuit from the legendary long distance @ArcticAircon_RT team… This time next week I’ll be starting the @MerseyRoads24. An event I’ve always wanted to do. Can’t wait.

Kaveh, my friend, take a bow. @SkyKaveh

This is dynamite from Kaveh Solhekol on Sky Sports News. Absolutely nails it. He has the Tories and BBC on toast. Well done!! 👏 Take 2 mins and watch👇#garylineker #ImWithGary #MOTD #ToryFascists

The driver of this HGV was found guilty at court this week of driving without due care and attention. They were sentenced to a 6 months disqualification, 8 endorsements on their licence, fined £415 and will have to pay £152 in costs and Victim Surcharge.

Wrecclesham Road in Farnham is CLOSED due to a driver failing to adhere to the height restrictions and his HGV striking the rail bridge. Recovery will take some time.

This year's @Brother_UK-sponsored @TourofBritain is set for a spectacular finish at the Isle of Wight's Needles Battery in 30 days' time. Former pro rider @danmartin86, winner of two Monument Classics and five Grand Tour stages, is predicting a gruelling conclusion. #AtYourSide

Pity I’m not racing @TourofBritain as due to Jess being from the island I’m basically a local! We are regular visitors, always with @wightlinkferry and I know the roads well

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗼! 🚲 @TourofBritain's just around the corner, with the UK's biggest cycling race hitting the #IsleofWight on 11 September. We got to catch up with former professional cyclist, Dan Martin, to get his thoughts on the Tour's final stage on the Island 📹

This video camera study showed that less than 5% of people on bikes break traffic laws while riding, yet 66% of people do so when driving. And if you REALLY want even MORE bike-riders to obey laws, build more protected bike infrastructure. Via @carltonreid forbes.com/sites/carltonr…

To master such fluidity and be one with the bike is a crazy level of second nature that is sheer brilliance to witness. #TDF2022

The more I think about it, the more I feel we should start again with Parliament. Have a modern building, electronic voting, office hours, decent childcare, no on-site bars. Governing this country is too important for it to be treated like a 'gentlemen's' club.

I beg you to watch the below! I know I RT yesterday but we must not let up. He’s a disgrace of a bloke!

211 Conservative MPs are fine with this 👇

Am I alone in being bemused by the ‘new’ definition of ‘staycation’? 🤔😂 I may be being daft but, if you stay at home (& do day trips etc) that’s a ‘staycation’ isn’t it? If you go to a hotel, B&B or rental somewhere in the same country, that’s still a HOLIDAY! Rant over 😎


Thanks @RealStephens and @AdamBlythe89 for dual-handedly guiding me through a cold but exciting Scheldeprijs and well done @MarkCavendish
