- Reposted by Caley FretzIn so many ways, the people who signed that letter to Robin Thursday earlier this week are the reason I am where I am. I'm thankful that they were brave enough to say enough is enough. A great tick-tock of the Outside saga from @caleyfretz.bsky.social: escapecollective.com/theres-a-wil...

- Some big news from @katewagner.bsky.social and me.
- I want to talk to somebody about the actual economics of these streaming decisions. Anybody out there have insight? Diggon on a few WBD leads but need somebody willing to talk numbers.
- Reposted by Caley FretzWhat's most disappointing about this is the total misunderstanding of the asset that WBD/Disney/Eurosport have had in broadcasting/ streaming cycling. Packaging it in with other bigger sports in a "Premium" package is completely the wrong thing to do. 1/2. escapecollective.com/tnt-blows-up...

- One Cycling has a PR problem. Many of the underlying ideas are decently sound (I think, and this is based on reporting as no formal plan has been released) but the public perception is... very bad. Our comments section on the last story is proof of that. escapecollective.com/richard-plug...

- As a US-based soccer/foootball fan I begrudgingly opened up the ticket portal for the Club World Cup (aka the formalized Fifa milking of American soccer fans), just in case there was something decent in a city I'd like to go to, and am pleased to report that it all looks awful.

- A hiatus? Or gone? The official word from GT is that it's undergoing a "strategic reorientation to align with evolving customer preferences," but GT athletes were just told the iconic brand is no more. The full story: escapecollective.com/is-this-the-...
