wattsoninthepeloton Podcast planned to discuss the confusing world of MTBs. It's hard to even find short travel xc bikes in bike shops these days - no one's buying them, no ones stocking them. Should everyone be… instagram.com/p/CDBG6mTFK-Q/…

Getting a dropper post has been great during the lockdown: playing around on some small jumps, mono'ing, and cornering down low in a new position. I never got confident jumping as a teenager, but it's never too late… instagram.com/p/CD3SjdIlGnP/…

1/2 Wow. This is crazy. While we need to be more educated about food, this is not enough. We need to add in structural changes to empower people to make the choices they want to make. Currently, we are educating our husbands why they should not cheat on us but then... 1/2

2/2 yes, as I was saying. like educating our husbands why they shouldn't cheat but then send them to the strippers, all day, EVERYDAY! Need to stop setting up for failure! This is what we do with food- Bombard our population with deep, evolved temptations and then fail!

You did tell us Wout Van Aert was good Robbie Hucker ! Bloody hell. Does a mega turn, peels to ride a "cruisy" pace with Bernal to the top. Few days ago in 4 wide throw in a bunchie 🤣. He's like the novalty character on computer games, 10/10 in everything. #TDF2020

Omg. What a stage #TDF2020 . I bet the gravel section had a clear tick of disdain from A.Christie-Johnston well before the start of Today. We almost saw exactly why- puncture pot luck. Would have seen a fence of Treks over the gravel if ACJ was DS 😂. Sensational ride Richie Porte 💪😡👌🏼

Tour of Mansfield has begun! Sometimes athletes get a fierce, animal look in their eyes, as if they are summoning some kind of primal force from deep within... this is NOT one these times. Go Maddy!! instagram.com/p/CMnb0kYBDu8/…

I haven't looked really closely at the finish so wont comment, but I've been thinking the same thing - riders' views are understandably affected by what happened on the day. If they all had a cracking day out, no one would be even thinking of protesting!

Watching Mark Cavendish win that stage was special. He looked like had lost all hope, like he'd accepted the inevitable process of slowing down... and then just like that, he wins! Magic #TDF2021 #couchpeloton #SBSCycling

Ever seen teenagers at a dance party? Self conscious, arms crossed, watching the dancefloor from afar. At the twitter party this has been us, until Today! Henceforth, WE DANCE! Expect regular updates on our work and research in understanding and improving student Retention. 🕺💃

Literally why I’ve logged on. It’s shameful. Not having a crack is worse than trying + falling short of a podium. We should select some of our best young men, throw them in and back them. Disappointing. #Wollongong2022 AusCycling

What’s the opposite of a black box? A white sphere? Either way, we’ve opted to leave the black box out of this one. Helping students pre-census using explainable learning analytics. We hope sharing this work can lead to better outcomes for more students! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
