Don’t want to Use Spotify ?
Not everyone uses Spotify, and not everyone can afford a premium account so what alternatives are there ? I know some people will point to Apple Music or Deezer, but I think YouTube is a gold mine for music. And there’s a fantastic app I’ve discovered in the last while called Headsetapp. Read More
Video : Tom Pidcock : STEPPING UP TO ELITE
Tom Pidcock’s rise has been something that’s intrigued me quite a bit over the last while. Earmarked as the next great white hope of British Cycling since he was an U16, he has followed his own path. And I’ve wondered over the last year or so if the puff has gone out of his hype train. With the likes of Evenpoel, Simmons, Eekhoff, etc all stepping up as such young ages I had wondered was the value diminshing in his stature.

How the Game is Broken..
I was searching through some folders of stuff the other day and I came across this piece I wrote in 2013. It’s still relevant today ..
How the Game is Broken..
You often hear the phrase bandied about “Don’t hate the Player, hate the game” and it’s never been more relevant than in connection with cycling. The game of professional cycling (and De Gri is turning in his grave at me mentioning it as a game) is broken. The twin doping positives from the Vini Fantini team are showing up a true broken game, it’s raised more questions about how we treat people, teams, riders and how Professional cycling has to use up and spit out riders to make it all go round.
