Outstanding performance from Pidcock last week, proved a lot of people wrong. Never looked close to this consistency in any previous GT, and vindicates his move to Q36. He will lead a pretty strong UK men's team to the World Champs next week in Kigali, Rwanda - some hilly parcours by the sounds...

How did you get on with this (no spoilers)? I have it but not read yet - my kid rated it but qualified a little as not as good as his favourites. Big Joe never misses, though - very consistent writer. Seems like he cut through to mainstream sales with it which is great for him. I'm starting the...

He's looking decent - Milan and Merlier are a clear level above anyone on a flat sprint right now. Much internet outrage today over teams like uno-x and tudor pulling the peloton and catching vdP, just so their sprinters can finish ninth. Good to see DeLie contesting things this weekend, he's...

Such a mangled finale yesterday overshadowed a world class sprint from Merlier - came from way back, took Milan's wheel with ease and then beat him straight up. No one really in his league atm in terms of pure sprinting skill and speed. Much punchier profile today - nothing big but many short...

Acid bath dropped a couple of albums in the 90s that didn't breakthrough, and disbanded after one of the band members died. People are rediscovering them in recent years - like how TF did a band this good not make it huge? Hailed as sludge metal pioneers but their sound is too varied for one...

Read Jonathan Franzen's Crossroads recently, from a couple of years back. Technically brilliant as usual, doubt I've read anyone as good as him with characters in a domestic setting - usually one undergoing rapid deterioration. Weaves together different viewpoints at different time periods with...

I like it a lot on first impressions - it's very hard but not in the typical fromsoft way of gameplay mechanics, more decision making and tactics. Very fun sessions but not relaxing at all, so it's a bit different in that sense. Classic Souls play can be quite meditative ime but this is more...

Retire I would guess after this showing - nowhere near world title level at 147. Leaves an interesting legacy if he does hang them up - achieved more in 20 fights than maybe any UK fighter ever, but invisible to the sporting public.

If anyone here is a fan of Dark Souls, here is an absolutely mental video of a guy invading Shiva (cut content) in game. Never really understood cut content, like how is it part of the game files and not just binned? Anyhow, it's not unusual for gamers to mine cut content and use pc mods to...

Done that one a couple of times, a fast course if it's still but I've never done that well on it. There's one out of Southport on the Preston rd that is meant to be quick - was thinking of getting over to it at some point this season.

I do quite a bit of TTing - mainly tens, some 25s, very enjoyable after the fact. Great discipline for getting stronger as the objectives are so simple. although mastering power output in position is very technical. Road bike TTs are popular nowadays as people are less inclined to invest in a...

Josh Tarling had a good win yesterday in the Giro TT - short one that he won by one second. He sounded burned out end of last season, which was a little concerning as he's still only 20, but he's been in great form this season.

PR an awesome spectacle as always, but not the most engaging race IMHO - Pog showed his otherworldly class as expected, but I think he will struggle to beat MvdP on this parcours even with experience. vdP just looks a cut above on the cobbles, no one better. That being said he was visibly...

He really does - feel bad for the guy as he has half of Belgium crawling up his ringpiece about it, playing psychologist. Yesterday's finale was figuratively three guys past the keeper and an open goal, passing the ball between themselves. Then blasting it into rowZ. He still is relentlessly...

Absolute disasterclass there today from Visma - one for the history books. 100% on Wout from the looks of things - said he cramped up but he should win that sprint 100 times out of 100. Don't really think he has a shot at RVV anyhow - MvdP and Pog just way too good on that parcours. Was hoping...

He was behind the crash I believe - but that's on him if he's going into the Cipressa that far back. vdP hit the climb second wheel. I guess it was reasonable to expect the race to hang together over the climb, as that's what always happens, just not this year. Shame as he is on v good form and...

What a race - best MSR in a long while. Massive ride from Ganna to come back like that, rode with incredible self-belief. vdP seems to have matured into an exceptional tactician, as if he needed any more talents. Brilliant tactical racer these past few years. Pog can still win this one!

Milan San-Remo tomorrow (men), and it has also been relaunched for the women, who will race Genoa San Remo (156k). Tune in if you want to see the only race of the season where Pog is not the clear favourite, and the most tactical 30 minutes in world cycling at the denouement. UAE made an...

Baines firing Martinez was cold - just a few words after a game but Bobby got a lesson in power that day. Personalities aside Baines may have secured the future of this club when he stepped in there - club was on the skids heading for a relegation battle with Martinez at the wheel. Doesn't bear...

Omloop was good yesterday, always great to see riders back on it for Classics season. Ended in a bunch sprint but overall race had a story to tell - also some comedy aero domes on display. Winner was a lesser known Norwegian sprinter (and big unit - over 90kg) Soren Waerenskjold beating out...
