Impossible to ā€œbuy inā€ to the race leader today because we’re told nothing about the kind of rider he is. Pathetic. Concentrate less on pronunciation & more on INFORMATION @UCI_cycling @cyclingontnt @tntsports #robhatch #crap @LeTour @auvergnerhalpes

I watched it with my dear Mum, who was ill in hospital. It’s a memory I cherish. I’m so glad she saw a British winner. šŸŽˆ
I'll never forget that the UK came to an absolute standstill on the day Andy Murray FINALLY won Wimbledon for the first time. It felt like everyone came together to watch the moment happen... One of the most surreal, glorious, delirious of days... šŸ’«

#tourauvergnerhÓnealpes -is the coverage ever going to deliver anything with Rob Hatch & Steve Cummings? A dreadful combination. @UCI_cycling @LeTour @cyclingontnt 🚮

She sounds awful
It would have been my mother's 84th birthday on 29 May. I thought about her as I clattered down the corkscrew stairs at Holland Park Underground Station, past the prissy sign warning travellers not to attempt the stairs because there were 93 of them, instead of encouraging people to use them as I would if I were in charge around here. On the platform, in the soupy tunnel, I took out my iPhone to play my little game, which is to do the Wordle before the next train arrives, which – thanks to the Central Line's rapid peristalsis – is usually only a couple of minutes. Mission accomplished, I got onto a standing-room-only carriage. āœļø Rachel Johnson Article | spectator.com/article/the-ho…

Hope you’ll be refunding subscribers for today’s terrible coverage of @auvergnerhalpes @tntsports 😔

Manhunter is 40. As such, one of the most underrated films of Michael Mann’s career is returning to U.S. theaters on July 24 in a new "Final Cut" which features a supervised 4K restoration and updated audio. Ask me if I’ll be there. My answer is an obvious ā€œyesā€. Cinema lives.

The change of name for The Dauphinais to #TourAuvergneRhĆ“neAlpes is desperate. The only pleased one seems to be Rob Hatch, an he’s excused more excruciating pronunciation. @UCI_cycling @cyclingontnt šŸš“šŸ» @LeTour

#thegrupetto promises much but isn’t a great programme. Why not bin it? Or change presenter? @tntsports @cyclingontnt

So much of this has happened in Kent. @mitchellsnik - no-one in a position of influence gives a toss.
Utterly disgusted to see Croudace Homes wilfully clearing mature trees and hedgerows in Shenfield during the height of the breeding season. Century old oaks hosting nesting birds and other wildlife have been felled. We need to place more value on our natural environment.

We need @carltonkirby on @cyclingontnt for @LeTour - anything else would be unacceptable - no hiding him on #eurosport
Also @SeanKellyCC has added rich knowledge, as ever. He gets better. We need much more @spannawalker - put her on the bike- she’s brilliant! @cyclingontnt

I’m sorry to say this has been a very disjointed #Giroditalia for the viewer. Some huge names missing or out early. I particularly disagree with Matt Stephens that it’s been ā€œmagnificentā€. His absence would be welcome from @LeTour @SportsOrla @cyclingontnt more @RobbieMcEwenAM
