    I'm shocked, saddened and surprised that Samuel could make such a basic mistake in his research...
    "would be like the Marvel universe accepting a shipment of Kryptonite and nobody telling Superman." Marvel and DC mixup / testosterone and cough syrup mix up, see its easy ;)

    Hopefully not another book ot two going from biography to fiction...

    Former British Cycling and Team Sky chief doctor Richard Freeman has been permanently struck off the medical register.

    Does this call into question all the Olympic golds GB have plundered from the sport...?...

    It only calls into question any honour achieved by British Cycling and Team Sky in the last 12 years, and anything Bolton Wanderers achieved in the 8 years before, so it's not too bad.

    On a more positive note, I see Adam Yates won the Volta a Catalunya riding now for Ineos, with Geraint Thomas 2nd.

    I just watched on ITV catch up Paris Nice and Primož Roglič was way out in front up until the last stage and he crashed twice to lose it and finish 15th. After last years Tour De France, makes you wonder whether he has the bottle to see out a bigger race?

    In the footage of the aftermath with doctors in attention she was still there in a brightly coloured coat. I’m amazed they haven’t been able to identify her.

    Hardly Emily Davison.


    Trying to say hello to your Gran and Grandad.


    I bet she feels **** as.


    Stupid but I hope they cut her some slack.


    She doesn't deserve prison.

    I dont have a lot of interest but have really enjoyed certain sections/races etc. Can we call on cycling fanatics (Gov) to give us a half weekly update about the stages to watch over the next few days? At the very least, a notification for the top stages.

    How can they 'file a complaint' against a spectator?

    I really enjoy watching, Cycling, there is always something happening. Had a great Sunday watching the highlights of the football, then the T20 England demolishing Sri Lanka and then watching both Le Course and the first stage of the tour.

    Get your Betamax out and put it on record for the ITV 4 Channel, highlights about 7.pm (ask a young person) only an hour long, skip bits if recorded and get expert commentary / tips about the chess games that go on and technical stuff...
