@IMSARadio @IMSA Please fix the sound balance on YouTube. Can barely here the cars at all, it's all commentary sound. Great comms but the cars sound great too ;-) #IMSA

One day we'll finally get back to double waved yellows meaning slow down be prepared to stop. Not this bs we have now that repeatedly leads to crashes like this (and also regular safety cars for simple cleanup). All tracks back to Charlie Whiting lift BS in F1. #B12Hr

@RSL_Studio Sadly no Rexy for me (yet), but dismantling, cleaning & re-stickering this old thing... from the far inferior sport! #Daytona24 #IMSA #

@JezCox If you're impressed by roads looping around to climb, check out the spiral railway in Switzerland!

@JezCox Not sure if you've subsequently picked up on it as still watching the race on catchup. Jhonatan Narvaez was the rider at the centre of the crash in the sprint on Stage 2. teapawt.net/INEOSGrenadiers/status…
Following his crash in the final sprint on stage two, @NarvaezJho was checked over by the INEOS Grenadiers medical team. Happily Jhony has sustained no serious injuries from the crash and is hopeful to continue #TOG2024 tomorrow.

@JezCox Enjoying the Guangxi coverage, albeit on catch-up after a good night's sleep! I think the Froome UCI points argument - I know not yours - misses the point. Surely he's there more as a mentor to young riders & for sponsor publicity purposes. (1/3)

@JoseBeenTV @BriSmithy Enjoying the beautiful Norway scenery, shame the lack of action. Tough job for you today! #ArcticRace Question/discussion for you... why is there not an Olympic champion jersey? Why is it not celebrated like Worlds, Nationals etc?

@JezCox How annoying is that Cycling had to give up classic events to (rightly) equalise the mens/womens and then again to add BMX & MTB while swimming has dozens of medals! Why couldn't "we" have just had more medals! #tourdewallonie

@JezCox What happened to the cool @arkeabbhotels @bianchiofficial tribute jerseys that they wore at the teams presentation? Why are they not wearing them in @LeTour? #TDF #TDF2024

@ChrisMasonBBC Sorry, but that was an utterly pathetic question. Yes it's shambles, but you may as well have just asked him to restate his bullshit narrative. Ask a specific question, highlight a specific point, and then come back if he doesn't answer. Be a journalist. #Sunak

@darrenpjones will add this into your committee's investigation into Freeports - and in particularly the questionable dealings that are ongoing at Teesworks. @CommonsBTC @leighsus @JayMitchinson
TVCA refuse to share a full itinerary or the advice that told them why they didn't need to declare it. @leighsus yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/pol…

@FIAWEC Absolutely zero surprise that your shitty streaming has fallen over for the end of #LeMans24 Failed at the start of Sebring, Failed for start of first practice, failed for start of the race... this was inevitable. Pathetic. #LM24 @24hoursoflemans
