I thought it was an acceptance of marriage

Was it? Alright; I've got a free hour next Thursday afternoon. Reception in BK in Piccadilly Gardens?

When does the women's beach volleyball start? Asking for a friend

I saw the brazil Italy match last Thursday.
Quite invigorating.

Fantastic performance from Evenepoel.

And an amazing feat to win both the time trial and the road race. The first time it’s ever been done.

Proof indeed that there's more to Belgium than Vinnie, Jeremy and the daywalker.


Oh aye; and Plastic Bertrand.

First time done by male rider. Female rider did it in 2000.

What a ride. He simply put the power down and rode away from everyone. Loved it having no race radio and small teams.

Oh right.

The commentator didn’t qualify it.

Haha, were you watching Eurosport too? ;-)

Remco is an absolute legend of the sport though. His form in the tour was clearly in the top 3 a cut above everyone else.

I’d expect Pog to take the more hilly worlds in Switzerland but what a rider Remco is. Love it.

Whitlock won't be getting gold, couple of errors. Sat in silver, not sure he'll get a medal though.
