I'm on the Australian Open women's singles final for Telegraph Sport. Sabalenka v Keys, two of the hardest hitters in the game. Hopefully, we're in for a treat and two hours of power: telegraph.co.uk/tennis/2025/01…

Tadej Pogačar two months ago on not doing Paris-Roubaix this season: "It's not final decision, maybe I can still do Paris-Roubaix. But I don't think it suits me the very best. I can say there's still time to go to try to do it some other year, not 2025."

RIP Johnny. A gentleman and classy columnist for Rouleur magazine in its early years. If memory serves, Johnny used to hand-write his articles and his daughter would type them up.

A nice auto-transcription from Otter.ai (AI Meeting Agent): "We can compare him with the greatest cyclist from 50 years ago, Eddie Murphy." Personally, I loved "the Cannibal's" career-defining showing in Beverly Hills Cop.

The UCI need to introduce a rule that winners of races with trophies missing middles are required to pull wacky faces πŸ˜› Look, the Milan-Sanremo trofeo is begging for the Jorgenson treatment

To the press officers from cycling teams asking for copy approval on stories before publication, no credible journalist will allow that, it’s an insult to ask and an indication you don’t know the media landscape, not to mention stupid given the sport relies on publicity.

Sport loves great rivalries and in Jonas Vingegaard v Tadej Pogacar we have a fascinating clash of characters... Andy McGrath met the Dane - transformed since last year's Tour, when he competed three months after coughing up blood in wake of a horror crash telegraph.co.uk/cycling/2025/0…
