GRUPPETTO. FANS. MOUNTAINS.

A day in the Gruppetto for Mr Voss today- and nice to see him on the lower slopes of the Col du Glandon. I can’t repeat exactly what he said about the Glandon -, however you can imagine – it’s a 21 km climb and it was +30C all day. He was thankful at least that the experienced ‘drivers’ of the ‘autobus’ know very well what pace to go at to ensure everyone arrives home in good time.

Apart from the mountains the other thing about today was the huge number of fans and Vossi wants to say thanks especially to all the German fans he saw on the road today. Tomorrow we expect more of the same – and we will move the Vossi Fan Club towards the Croix de Fer to cheer him onwards.

Deprived neighbourhoods with chronic health issues and low car ownership. Offered millions of pounds of central government funding for local transport development, the city has elected to remove an important active travel corridor prior to the publication of a review into its effectiveness. The actions of a local councillor, praised by the City Mayor, could lead to a huge reduction in local transport funding that will set the city back years. We look back at the last two years, the impact of Covid, and ask is this the end of the road for a co-ordinated active travel plan for Liverpool?
