Off to the flicks tonight at #PhoenixLeicester with @willfoth.bsky.social for a sold out screening of #ASundayInHell. It’s bit dreich in @rideleicester.bsky.social this evening but that’s a poor excuse for staying home given the subject. #Cobbles #caps #Danish

Bit of a chat re things uk road racing thanks @thebritishcontinental.co.uk
Last night I watched A Sunday in Hell, Jorgen Leth's magnificent film about the 1976 Paris-Roubaix, on the big screen, with additional detail and context courtesy of @willfoth.bsky.social.
Unsurprisingly, it was a tremendous evening.
Thanks Jack so glad you enjoyed it
He’s peaking too early again 😂

wow, what a moment to treasure!! Amazing.
Also @willfoth.bsky.social book is well worth a read about the making of the film
Ned's bang on here.
Best Frenchman award basically

Cycling as SPORT klaxon:
It's that time again: a few days before the start and a nice piece on one aspect of the Tour by @willfoth.bsky.social, completed by a photo by the one and only Graham Watson. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/j...
Looking forward to the full race preview!
Nice concise bite-sized explanations of each stage from seasoned Tour commentator @willfoth.bsky.social .
We expect nothing less.

Iconic location on todays Vuelta stage
Really great to see @theguardian.com give good space to this obit of the late Barry Hoban. He didn’t get the fame he merited when he was racing, good to redress the balance a small bit
Matty Brennan, Britain's hottest talent, spent a large part of his childhood sitting behind a derny at Middlesbrough velodrome. The concrete track was crucial in his development. Now the velodrome needs extra funding to maintain it. If you can help...

So it’s happening without the two biggest stars in the sport & without the dominant organiser? Good luck with that
Just reading about this now in Roule Britannia 👍
There’s quite a lot of info in there if you start looking 😁
