A poignant moment. Yes a happy ending for Ireland with Stephen Roche, but terrible sad on this day. Sean remains a friend and getting better and better as a commentator. The toughest, hardest man ever to race a bike.

I had a terrible experience on the road today and I want to get it off my chest. We really need to do something urgently about the state of driving in our country. Our Children deserve better. #cycling #backtoschool #traffic #driving

@PaulSherwen's family have now told me that the result of the post mortem was heart failure. Again, your tributes are very special, and thank you all. The outpouring of grief has simply never been so great for a cycling commentator. Love you all.

I went to bed in Africa with a heavy heart last night feeling sadness like never before. My team mate for 33 years was no longer with me. Your hundreds of messages showed how well @PaulSherwen was loved. Let's think of Katherine and his children with love just now.

Always amazes me how many people spend hours on the side of the road waiting for @LeTour to pass. Even more amazing that when we finally get there many look the other way and wave at a helicopter or run off the other way chasing a thrown bottle

I opened @DubCityCouncil expanded and upgraded cycle parking facility in Drury Street Car Park today which has capacity for 332 bicycles. I hope it will encourage many people to cycle into the city in the knowledge there is a safe, secure location to park their bicylces.

The irony of seeing local residents in South Dublin object to a car-free school on the basis it will cause "traffic chaos" a couple of weeks after Dublin City Councillors blocked the development of Quietway through that area. 🙃 jrnl.ie/4040393

With an almost logic-defying vigour, the riders of the 2018 @rastailteann have resumed their tilt for a place in the record books. Stage Two is a particularly taxing 148.7km, between Athlone and Tipperary, and the Europcar fleet will follow the peloton every step of the way.
