🚨NEW: Kent police has thanked a van driver for assisting an armed officer chasing a suspect in Thanet teapaw.org/kent_police/status/207…
String of cold takes from the @SBS Comms team. Round bottles fit Trek aero cages perfectly and have done since release. Zanoncello hasn't apologised because he shouldn't have been DSQ because it wasn't a headbutt. Still better than Carlton Kirby though..... #GirodItalia

If you DM me and let me know your email address, I will give anyone a free month for the Substack in an effort to lure you into my gingerbread house

Funniest thing I’ve seen all day… 😂😂 teapaw.org/OunkaOnX/status/201708…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The short video originated on social media accounts that acknowledge all of its content is AI-generated. There is no reporting, including on Fox 9, the Minneapolis TV channel where the chase was purportedly broadcast live, that it was an actual event.

Am I the only one that finds the "breakaway bus" pseudo team briefing on @tntsports @discoveryplus absolutely toe curlingly excruciating? It's like the worst team building roleplay on a corporate away day. #TourDeFrance2025 #TdeF2025

A very emotional Demi Vollering dedicates her win to those suffering with mental health challenges ❤️
#AGR25 if only Marty could try some actual commentary rather than just constantly listing riders names (which is displayed on the bloody screen) we might have some idea what's actually happening.
