Ten years ago I fronted @itvcycling’s coverage of the @TourofBritain men’s #cycling race for the first time. The start of an annual week of work & laughter zigzagging from Cornwall to Aberdeenshire. As I look forward to the 2025 edition from @BritishCycling , it’s time to say bye

Who is voting for Matt Hancock in #ImACeleb? You remember living through the pandemic? A lot didn’t. He broke the Government’s own rules. He’s still meant to be serving his constituents. This makes a joke of people working on all sides to make this country a better place.

Two dads, united by devastating grief at losing their children. So moving and utterly heartbreaking.

I’m devastated that Emily has gone, and so young too. We’d known each other for over twenty years and she was always a phenomenal journalist, which was vitally evident in her reporting during the pandemic. I’m thinking of her family tonight.

It doesn’t matter if you’re for or against now - the process of Brexit is a ruinous shitshow. There’s no better way to put it. The futures of millions are being ruined by a bunch of infighting egotists and the impossible conundrum of the Irish border. Hit the brakes.

Quick early morning spin on the bike before stage 1 of the @TourofBritain @CornwallToB onto Bodmin Moor and I find this beast blocking my way. Rather hoping @MarkCavendish @WoutvanAert @alafpolak1 @alexdowsett & the peloton don’t get the same later.

Honestly, they were hogging the roads this morning, like they think they own them. Sometimes they were even two-abreast and coming so close, they could’ve scratched my paintwork. I can’t believe how many cars there are now, getting in the way of my bicycle. #cyclinginbritain

I just got asked for ID ordering a beer in Los Angeles. This has made my 43rd year more than I ever thought possible.
