Interested (and depressed) to hear Vaughters on The Cycling Podcast stating that he is in charge of a content production team, not a cycling team. Makes me wonder how much bang for buck Pidcock gives. What’s the point in riding the Giro when he can just do this?

He'll get banned by the UCI with a name like that

The last French rider to do….. what? 🎣 open.substack.com/pub/cilliankel…

Give our new cycling podcast a go (is it still ‘new’ if we’ve done 16 episodes?!) It’s called Did Not Finish. Or DNF. And we think it’s a bit different than what’s out there. For example, we use curse words. e.g. Fuck Any feedback would be great! open.spotify.com/episode/2cJPmN…

Cillian Kelly I think it’s really rather good.

Tour of Ireland 2009. Stage 3. Cork. St. Patrick’s Hill

I love DNF. And not just because they say fuck. One surprising, sometimes topical, cycling stat opens up the history of cycling and the chance to shout answers to impromptu quiz questions at your phone. Magic.

Does anyone know when the practice began of passing jerseys on down the rankings at the Tour de France? So if the yellow jerseys wearer also held green then second in the green jersey would get to wear green etc.?

Joao Almeida vs Kevin Vauquelin at the Tour de Suisse was like a mini version of Greg LeMond vs Claudio Chiappucci at the 1990 Tour de France. Very enjoyable. Great race.

The polka-dot jersey celebrates 50 years in existence this summer. The first ever King of the Mountains? Probably not who you think it is... open.substack.com/pub/cilliankel…

New episode of DID NOT FINISH podcast is out. We talk about the Lance Armstrong of dogs. And Geraint Thomas. And I devised a quiz which Harry and Stu were actually quite good at. open.spotify.com/episode/3ffmWx…

This is where I found the Lance Armstrong of Dogs after we had finished recording the episode

Merckx

Number of monument classics Eddy Merckx finished between 1967-1975: 37 Number of those he finished outside the top ten: 1

Did a podcast piece on Eddy Merckx yesterday. Had no idea it was his 70th birthday today. #oops #knowledge #research

It's fortunate that 'Merckx' really lends itself to a word like 'Merckxian'. De Vlaeminckian, Maertensian, Van Looyian don't work as well

Can you compare EPO to amphetamines? Can you compare Valverde to Merckx? Can you compare 2017 to 1977? irishpeloton.com/2017/03/blood-…
