Covering @LeTour has been my life. So very proud to receive the National Order of Merit by the French government for “broadening the audience of the TdF to Australians, with passion. It’s been an absolute pleasure. Merci! Vive Le Tour. Vive La France.

This must be treated as a very serious offence with criminal charges. Not just as a simple, minor altercation. It's time to make an example of this type of dangerous action. Lycra and a helmet won’t stop a cyclist being seriously injured or worse when being run down by a lunatic.

I’m a sports guy. But The Everest care factor for me is a big fat zero! Am I the odd one out? #TheEverest

We salute you @JaiHindley Into the leader’s jersey. 1:25 advantage. One stage remaining. 17.4km time trial. Surely the #Giro2022 is yours.

The most entertaining #TdF in a generation. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. There wasn’t one bad or boring stage. We say it every year, what an incredible television spectacle. Can’t wait for 2024 when Le Tour departs from Florence Italy. #TDF2023

If you’ve never watched world cycling but appreciate sport of an epic nature, may I suggest switching to SBS Viceland now to watch #ParisRoubaix . You’ll see a race held on ancient cobblestones, rain, mud & skinny tyres. What could possibly go wrong? #SBSCycling #couchpeloton

Rupert is in Katherine. Has covered 312km in 14 hours. Rupe’s feeling very good. Happy with his progress. Rode in the darkness through embers from back burning controls. Plans to sleep for 90 minutes in the early hours of Tuesday morning. #PowerOfThePedal #GoRupert

Hundreds of thousands of children cycle to school every morning in the Netherlands. Kids cycling up to 15 km one way are no exception. The streets are literally full of cycling children. The cycle highway from Geldermalsen to Culemborg is one such road.
