Have been watching more cycling during this southern winter. Becoming slightly obsessed. Got a month of Defector to follow their ace Tour de France coverage and then discovered Escape Collective was giving six months to Defector subscribers and omg I almost can’t keep up. Escape Collective is just so great. I may have to get me a real subscription for Christmas.

But also the drama in the bike racing is insane… there’s always some joy in there, courage, villainy, humour, generosity, pain; several ongoing story threads; team rivalries, personal rivalries… you can see the edges of it on TV but eventually you get it all. And the sheer power and endurance of these people is amazing. And how do they do it in 39°C heat?
