This is gutting. The highlights show is the most perfect and best put together sports show in the UK. The Eurosport version is so poor in comparison.

The good old BS1363 plug and socket really should have been adopted by the rest of the world by now. It’s solid. It’s safe and just generally works better than most of the plugs and sockets used by the rest of the world.

Woah! What were they thinking? Another great race.

Incredible road race. Was glued to it. I’m now in trouble because I’ve only done one of the jobs I was meant to do today.

Road race on BBC red button now, for some unknown reason not on discovery+ for another 40mins or so.

Iplayer as “bbc two lunch” and then “bbc one afternoon” or discovery+ as a whole race.

Amazing, amazing race.

I watched on eurosport yesterday and they missed the PFP attack due to an ad break. Watched on the BBC today and they missed the TP puncture due to a channel swap. Both channels ballsing up at keys times.

Yeah, Jenny Rissveds didn’t bother putting a protest in. She knew she was beaten by a faster rider. She also called in Batten’s puncture to her mechanics so they knew it was coming. She then gave PFP a massive hug on the podium when PFP was losing it. Overall Rissveds seems like a bloody lovely human.

Don’t think it’s been mentioned so far, but discovery+ is free if you’re a sky subscriber.

Also, it’s quite cool how it tells you there’s a medal event on when you’re watching another sports stream.

I know it’s subjective, but he’s the greatest sprinter of all time and probably the greatest British cyclist of all time isn’t he?

When I’m stuck in traffic or on a delayed train I do often wonder why they haven’t invented teleportation yet.

I just wish someone would ask Braverman something along the lines of:

“since 2019, the Conservatives have moved further to the right, since then you’ve been hemorrhaging votes. Why do you think that moving right again will win you more votes?”

I do not understand why they think harder right policies will win them an election. All the evidence of late shows it’s being rejected by the British public.

So 30p Lee didn’t rebel because people were laughing at him and the Tories……..

Absolute classic sportswashing. “ooooo, look how green we are. We sponsor cycling.”

I did exactly that, cut off the push fit regulator and put on a normal one. It works perfectly.

Incredible PSA. New Rayban’s have just been delivered!

It’s frustrating, especially when the BBC seemed able to pull in skateboarding and surfing specialists to co-commentate but didn’t bother with our sport.

Don’t think it has been mentioned, but this is also being broadcast on Eurosport, and in 4k (if you have the right sky box)

Ooni have a pretty decent 20% off all their range of pizza ovens. I’ve been looking at pushing the button on these all year and this tipped me over the edge.

Brilliant! Who whould have thought this three weeks ago?

Another brilliant stage; this Giro has been very, very entertaining.

Incredible race! That has set it up very nicely for Saturday!

Great race, great finish, great result.

If you don’t mind a short(ish) uphill road ride, then you could park at the three locks for free. Added bonus of a decent(ish) pub for post ride pint.

this is probably a bit more main event, as it’s super filling, but the DJ BBQ Tomato pie is one of the best things I’ve ever cooked on the BBQ.
