- Ever been watching the Cycling and thought you heard a bit too (or tchoo) much emphasis around 22km to go?! That’s the Cricket. 🏏 Two weeks today, and realising that it is with immense privilege, I’ll get to do it for real. The Ashes on TNT Sports. 🤩
- Growing up surrounded by the game & being obsessed with it, playing in the Lancs League, watching/listening to my commentary heroes, before following another - the brilliant Nasser Hussain - as Broadcast Sport Commentator of the Year…this is an opportunity that I didn’t expect, but am grateful for
- Thanks to those who have made it possible. It’s been the worst year away from the mic, but I’ve already been away from home for a few weeks, working hard on prep and getting ready to try to do this justice for all of you fellow Cricket obsessives. It’s going to be a special series! 🏴 🇦🇺
- See you on the 21st, set your alarm clocks ⏰😅 📸 circa 1996 or so, around the time of Sri Lanka winning the World Cup. AB with the throw down just out of shot 👌 Think it was the only time I ever hit one off’t square. Poor V500 didn’t get used properly. #genuinenumber11

- Rainbow Remco 3 leaves Pogi behind at the Rwanda worlds. This week’s Gruppetto reviews last week’s racing in 12 minutes: youtu.be/1jp3KflNLpA?...
- Later start & later finish at Vuelta today after the transfer from France to Spain. TTT live in its entirety on TNT Sports & Discovery+ from 1515 BST. See you then!
- Vuelta tomorrow & just to let you know, our TNT Sports / Discovery+ coverage kicks off from 12 midday in UK & Ireland. Really look forward to having your company for the next 3 weeks, with live coverage on the channel & streaming, daily highlights there & free-to-air on Quest, plus YT short hlts too
- A quick reminder that unlike Giro & TdF, not every stage is produced from start to finish by host broadcasters, but we will be on-air with Orla in the studio, then join live action as soon as we get it. From memory, around 10 of the stages are live from km0 this year, including the opener tomorrow.
- Professional Cycling & the school playground, racing roundup, transfers & Vuelta on this week's Gruppetto: youtu.be/ikHi4b-6qCQ?...
- Morning, everyone. This week's Gruppetto is now up on YT & will be repeated on the telly on TNT Sports over the next few days. Remco, Poland, Uijtdebrockes uijt de wilderness, an Arctic Strongman & some quality work behind the mic by @robbiemcewen.bsky.social youtu.be/LF7SjHH_HUE?...
- Two yellow goats. The Gruppetto: youtu.be/gVR8bOItyvM?...
- Thanks to all of you for watching these. Will continue every week on YouTube & on TV. Having a little break from live commentary for a few weeks, but back for the Vuelta on TNT Sports 👌
- Rest day viewing: youtu.be/x-cHpymcHYM?...
- Made it through the ATC strikes to Paris (3rd flight lucky!) & can't wait to get started with the Tour de France. Sean will be joining me at the studios here, with the breakaway crew in London & our reporters on the route. Will be a pleasure to have your company from 12midday tomorrow on TNT Sports
- Special Gruppetto this week as it moves to TV on TNT Sports. A 15min weekly slot to catch up on all the racing, which you can also see on YouTube. On quieter weeks, we’ll continue to have interviews. This week the show comes from Sa Calobra, looks to TdF & Giro women youtu.be/FIRtxoSK2uM?...
- This week’s Gruppetto. 1-0 Pog: youtu.be/VVl9QVD74ws?...
- That Dauphiné name change feels like an own goal, no? 😬🤷🏻♂️ @inrng.com lays out the logic well in a short thread, but can’t help thinking it isn’t the best decision.
- Personally would’ve kept historic name, taken away ‘Critérium du’ & then added region underneath main branding. Think it would help international sell without long-winded name.
- Aforementioned thread 🧵
