Clickbait. Hope your firewall is up to date. Saw one about Eddie Merckx dying.

I only get ones about newsreaders. At least it suggests the snoopy things don't have enough data on me to target withmthe cycling ones!

Is there something I should know about sub stack?

I read somewhere that Ayuso was unhappy at UAE, saying that he felt 'disrespected' at the Tour.
No details but makes me think he's a knob - I am prone to rash judgements thiu5, to be honest

Yea I've read similar too....did he leave the Tour because of Illness or not being a team player ? Either way it wasn't that big of a loss. UAE is stacked with talent and I'm guessing you earn your place.
Will they give him a spot at the Vuelta to shine....did start his career as the next Spanish GC rider, but lately I'm not so sure.
Moving towards knob as the answer until he proves me wrong 😁

From what I've seen the confusion comes from Vuelta Director Javier Guillen stating that Ayuso would be competing contradicting Gianetti's statement that he wouldn't. The last I heard was a statement from Matxin that he will be a substitute in the UAE lineup.

Also seen that the boss "was not too happy with Ayuso's performance."

Dan Benson again. Suggesting Pidcock could be leaving Ineos at the end of the season. Says he has this from sources at 2 other World Tour teams.

Red Bull, for obvious reasons, has been the rumour since they hitched up with Bora

It's an online nazi bar, paying them. https://www.theverge.com/2023/12/21/24011232/substack-nazi-moderation-demonetization-hamish-mckenzie

Some writers not comfortable with funding that moved to other sites like ghost or behiiv over the last year. Anyone left either hasn't noticed or is comfortable with being in that sort of bar.

Out of interest, what's everyone's go to for accurate pro cycling news? I've deleted Twitter/X, so won't be using that. Usual websites, Cycling News, Cycling Weekly, INRing, Escape Collective. Where else is there?
