The Irish sprinter proved Bora–Hansgrohe are far more than just a one man band with a solid victory on stage 3. That's his third win of the year so far, following a breakthrough 2018 which included three Giro d'Italia stage wins. 

This Twitter thread from th University of Westminster academic behind the Near Miss Project is well worth a read.

So here's notes for my 'short, no more than 10-minute presentation on why there is to your mind a gender gap in cycling' for @SustransScot roundtable on #WomenandCycling this morning. Bonus: if I run out of time I can refer people to Twitter

Where do you stand on taking the razor to your legs?

FiftyOne, the Irish bike brand known for their stunning custom carbon road bikes, has just released details of its latest creation for heavyweight boxer Anthony Joshua.

Joshua does a lot of cycling as part of his fitness regime - he brought London to a standstill last year when he was spotted our cycling - and FiftyOne has built a custom carbon frame for the 6’5” boxer.

"It's important to do the bike. I say that because you've still got your cardio-based training, but it takes the pressure off your joints so don't get any wear and tear," explained Joshua in an interview on his training regime.

We can imagine a lot of reinforcing and extra layers of carbon have been used to ensure the frame doesn’t flex and twist under his immense power!

It has been hand painted with a design based around a Lions head on the head tube and Joshua’s 25/7 slogan, a nod to his relentless work ethic, and also his Second to No One (2-2-0-1) symbol.

A brand new SRAM Red eTap AXS 12-speed groupset adorns the frame along with Zipp 303 wheels.

Anthony Joshua will defend his heavyweight title and his unbeaten 22 winning streak on June 1st in Madison Square Garden.

FiftyOne bikes will proudly display Joshua’s bike at the upcoming North American Handbuilt Show in Sacramento. The show runs from March 15-17th 

Hey @Biffa, I didn’t pay my @wfcouncil tax to build cycling infrastructure so your lorries could have somewhere to park.

I would have minded less if you’d have been emptying the bins, but the fact he was sat in the Chinese having his dinner was a bit rich. pic.twitter.com/oYWoCILrAb

Biffa have already responded on Twitter to say they're working to resolve the matter, thankfully...

Strong winds played a pivotal part in shaping the outcome of the second stage of the Paris-Nice stage race, with Dutch sprinter Dylan Groenewegen taking the victory while Mark Cavendish abandoned and Rigoberto Uran crashed out with a broken collarbone.

It was an exciting stage and well worth watching the highlights video below. Today is another similarly flat stage for the sprinters and it should be exposed to the wind again, so could be a nervous day for the peloton but exciting for the spectators.

Every day when I meet other cyclists at this intersection we stop and chat about how messed up this is and how someone is going to die. So I made a video for @brisbanecityqld, @TMRQld, @TrevorEvansBne. Cc @cbdbug @space4cyclingbn #bne #cycling pic.twitter.com/HiDs32ollJ

This crossing in Brisbane is pretty damn terrifying...
