An interesting piece: UK Cycle Industry worth 3x more than our steel industry and employs 2x as many. One of these is considered to be of huge strategic importance by government, one isn’t. Have a guess which way round.... theguardian.com/environment/…

Luck's just not on my side at the moment! Had a bit of a tumble yesterday in Tirreno-Adriatico. Landed on my face (as you can see), bit bashed up & broken a rib. Finished the stage, but unfortunately I was declared out of the time-limit. Thanks for everyone's well-wishes. 🙏😚
