Classy way to end a partnership. Stark contrast to @INEOSGrenadiers lately.
Dear Ben,
Over and above the exceptional sporting results we have achieved together, all the members of the team have appreciated your personality over these four years. We have all seen you evolve step by step to become one of the top 5 riders in the peloton. We're proud of that.
Hey mate, all the best 👋🏼

I was burgled in the early hours of yesterday morning in Gosforth (Newcastle). Among other things, they stole my very distinctive Riese & Müller e-cargo bike. Please share and let me know if you happen to come across it 🤞🚲 @rideelectricgo @space4gosforth @NewCycling @NclSocRide

One of the best things about @DanBiggles22 is his willingness to share knowledge and do things differently. Listen and reap the rewards.
Everyone laughed when a UK conti team started wearing silly socks? Yes, but they all shut up and started wearing them too when we were winning

🗣️ "How I want to do performance is not aligned with how Ineos wanted to go. [...] I feel that a lot of perfomance we're leaving on the table and that frustrates me, It's clear we should be doing things better."

Ouch. @LakaHQ a 50% price increase due to making the useful bits optional for anyone riding a race.
Guess time to go shopping around.
Love your work @zebkyffin

Gap sits at around 35 seconds to the peloton.

More like 90% in a standard UK race. All for this and hope is brought in at all levels @BritishCycling
Shouldn’t be able to just leave other riders on the deck through bad riding and get away zero consequences. Key reason participation has declined IMO. The risk.

The question all Teessiders are asking, which this report does not answer, is - how has a site which has so much potential, and which was owned by the public, ended up in the hands of two hand-picked developers for a few hundred quid, who are now making millions?

If you’re driving over the Tyne bridge today, the reason it looks tired and shabby is because somewhere in London, someone in Government who either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about the North East is sat looking at a spreadsheet and saying “well that’s not important to me” (1/2)
This story is utterly maddening. The Government spent years granting funding to repair the Tyne Bridge, and now that it has, won't hand over the money chroniclelive.co.uk/news/nor…
How is this not fraudulent.

Bizarre how so much money in sport, but often major decision makers are unqualified ex-pros.
Managing a sport is fundamentally different to competing in it.
Hey @GcnRacing @gcntweet spot the difference!
How come only some subscribers get a discount code for @discoveryplus??
Pretty sure I was paying same amount and had been for years…be nice to be treated fairly.

Right, lads and lasses. London's roads are in need of some TLC and we're not sure where to find the £s to give our streets the white-glove treatment. Any ideas?
We could trouser the train money we promised the poor people in the North, and keep it for ourselves?
Done! #HS2

Experts agree, there'll be a hole in our finances if we leave the EU. That will mean higher taxes, spending cuts, more borrowing, or all 3.

NEW: we need to talk about UK graduate wages, and the idea that Britain sends too many people to university.
American readers should stick around for the UK/US comparisons 👀
Let’s start with this: the UK graduate wage premium has fallen substantially over the last 25 years
