After a couple of years really struggling with everything, including cycling, Im loving every minute of this Giro so far.
I can feel my mojo coming back at last 🙂

The two sprint stages so far have been off the scale !

Yesterday Pog and Thomas trying to slip the field and the same today with Ganna...

Being half a Dutchie only wish Kooij could win a sprint ( Jakobsen and Van Poppel too but they look less likely )

New 'death by dangerous cycling' offence after MPs back law change — Sky News

Dangerous cycling that causes death could land people up to 14 years in prison after the House of Commons backed a proposed change to the law.

New cycling law passed. Are there any stats on death by dangerous cycling? Seems a bit OTT.

Unlikely these new provisions will ever be enforced, just like the illegality of riding on the pavement now is never enforced. If police issued the fixed fines for cycling on the pavement it would be a disincentive to do it and maybe this new law might not have been required.

Can't see anything changing.

It will mean cyclists who hurt others will serve long prison sentences. Until now next to impossible to dish out more than a slap on the wrist.

There are loads of shared use pavements around here, not a problem as long as everyone is sensible..............................

If anyone is at a loose end on Sunday, the RideLondon Classique finishes on the Mall, after 3 days of racing around Essex / London. All the top female riders & teams are there, and it should be a great day out watching the pros.

*for a bit of "home" interest, Francesca Selva is riding for Torelli - her first UCI road event. Francesca studied in Brighton a few years ago, and was a regular on the track racing scene at Preston Park Velodrome before returning home to Italy and turning pro / riding for the Italian national track team.

The stages

The Ford RideLondon Classique, part of the UCI Women’s WorldTour, will consist of three exciting stages from Friday 26 to Sunday 28 May.
