For the past few years I've been writing the retrospective Re-Cycle series for @Eurosport_UK on the most compelling, controversial and extraordinary riders & races in cycling history. You can hear @GrahamWillgoss narrate all 51 episodes here: shows.acast.com/re-cycle-the-c…
Given the diseased cattle outbreak behind the shortening of today's stage 19, I hope the organisers to the right thing and pull the La Vache Qui Rit wagon from the Caravane on grounds of mixed messaging and solidarity to the poor cows #TDF2025
This development didn’t last very long… 🤦🏻♂️
Jordan Jegat is going to finish in the top 10 of the #TDF2025. Not something I ever thought I'd write or read or even consider.
Something from Hobbiton in the Alps... #TourSwimmingPools #TDF2025
The final week of the Tour is increasingly becoming a damp squib. Perhaps next year they should front-load the race with all the high mountains - then have the Classics-style stages in the final week. Could be more fun. Could be more movement in battle for yellow, too. #TDF2025
They weren't wrong about this being the queen stage... #TDF2025 #TourSwimmingPools
Personally, I think it's great that Ian Thorpe has reinvented himself as a promising up-coming German cyclist on the cusp of a podium finish at the #TDF2025
The majesty of the Alps on the #TDF2025 today. Approaching the summit of the Col du Glandon...
🏰Chateau!🏰 Not only have they somewhat raised the roof, the current owners have gone a bit OTT with their houseplant habit. Nice Polo-themed pond, mind. 4/10 #ChateauWatch #TDF2025
🏰Chateau!🏰 Sadly, not the home of Thierry Claveyrolat - the so-called Eagle of Vizille. But this Revolutionary-rich chateau and its sprawling parkland is free to visit and has some wonderful exterior stairs. 7.5/10 #ChateauWatch #TDF2025
Pretty breath-taking scenery at the start of today's queen stage of the #TDF2025 #TourSwimmingPools

A rare sighting of the lesser-known woodland #TourSwimmingPools sighting... #TDF2025
Lol. This aged as well as one of Eric Caritoux's wines.
Nice win for Enric Mas today. Bit of a damp squib of a stage, though. Shame the GC favourites didn't rise to the challenge on a climb as mythical as Ventoux #TDF2025

We're definitely in #TourSwimmingPools territory today on the #TDF2025
