Videos: Team Sky's Christmas card + Geraint Thomas turkey dash
Team Sky aren't having the merriest of Christmases as the controversy regarding Sir Bradley Wiggins' use of therapeutic use exepmptions (TUEs) and that package delivered to the team's former doctor at the 2011 Dauphine rumbles on - but that hasn't stopped them getting in the festive spirit with their annual video Christmas card.
As you'd expect from an outfit sponsored by a media giant, the production is slick and sees three-time Tour de France champion Chris Froome get a very special new ride - and from this picture tweeted today, it looks as though he's also got some seasonal kit, too.

A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races.

I for one am happy to suggest dubwises' language makes me strongly suspect they are discrimination adjacent.
Why would you think that he's a vigilante unless you don't understand the meaning of the word? "Activist" is probably the word you meant.
Yes I'm an old-man and according to athletic data still outperform the vast majority of female athletes. The advantage of being a man is unreal. I...

🤔 I bought the Allez Elite with 105 groupset for £1000 in 2021. Seems a very steep increase in price for barely any gains
Fantastic ride by Roglic specially after dropping his chain on that insane climb
Er. No. I don't think I'll chance it.
The Expanse is superb - hard sci-fi that has realistic space battles. The first few episodes suffer from poor sound mixing, but it gets better.
Friends of Woodhouse Moor are hardly representative of the local population. They are a fringe group made up from few sad busy bodies. If they want...
I really want to like Rapha shorts but can't get on with the seam/split in the middle of the chamois....
