Well, I honestly didn't expect to find myself in this situation, but here we are.
I've always tried to give back to the Trackmania community through the work I do behind the scenes, whether that's producing broadcasts, helping with events, or simply supporting projects I believe in.
It's a pretty frustrating situation, especially considering how much time and effort I've put into this game and its community over the years.
I'm hoping things can be clarified and resolved properly. If anyone has a contact at Nadeo or Ubisoft, or knows someone who might be able to help me understand the situation and find a way forward, please reach out. I'd genuinely appreciate it.
Regardless of the outcome, I'm still proud of everything I've worked on and the people I've met along the way. I just hope this can be sorted out.

This is fucking terrible, man. This sport can be the most beautiful thing some days, and the absolute worst on other days.
My thoughts are with the family, friends and teammates of Finlay Tarling.

Oh my god 💔
Nothing but my most heartfelt condolences to all of his family and friends.

S-tier Tour de France team reveal by Lidl-Trek, drawn by an actual artist, unlike some of the garbage AI slop we’ve seen in the last week, coming from UNO-X and Caja Rural. 🤷♂️
We spotted some familiar faces on our big pre-Tour de France shop 👀

Also, why dont we have identity contests anymore?
Why are we still stuck on ideas from 5yrs ago? The game has evolved a lot, we can do better both visually and competitively.
This is supposed to be THE year and the best we can do is just keep recycling over and over? Come on…

Another curious thing: even AFTER Pogacar’s bike change the UAE car was again allowed to pass the second group, despite the gap being less than a minute and knowing the car was never going to leave Pogacar behind to support Vermeersch etc

Muriel Furrer was only discovered 85 (!) minutes after her crash at the World Championships in Zürich.
The public prosecutor has closed its investigation and concluded there was no criminally relevant breach of duty from the organisers, but I refuse to accept that the sport could not have been better prepared for accidents like this.
GPS tracking as a topic has been on the table for years, and it required an athlete dying for the UCI to kick into action. That is objectively a failure on their part. 🤷♂️

Regardless of what your take is on the introduction of a Power Data Passport for pro cyclists, as an anti-doping measure...
Saying "cycling has credibility now" when the average conversation about pro cycling in a Belgian café or bakery ends with "they're all doping anyway" is completely out-of-touch with how the mainstream public feels about our sport.
Our sport will always have to go above and beyond to prove the opposite, which is completely understandable considering its history. 🤷♂️

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month. 🟨
Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women, yet many have never heard of it.
It's a chronic, incurable condition where tissue similar to the womb lining grows outside the womb, causing debilitating pain, fatigue, and sometimes infertility.
On average, it takes nearly 7 years to receive a diagnosis. Many see doctor after doctor, only to be told nothing is wrong. Some wait over a decade. That's years of pain, uncertainty, and being unheard. This has to change...
Jan 'Schlumpy' Schlumpberger retweeted
At the end of March, I will donate 10% of my income to @EndometriosisUK.
If you want to join me in supporting this cause, you can do so by supporting my content, or donating through the page below. 💛
