"They're f****** hugging it out": Lance Armstrong takes swipe at current era of pro cyclists that "do not compete like we did" and "high five" after losing races; "Who's wrong? Me": Cyclist shares painful crash footage + more on the live blog

Lotte Kopecky, Lizzie Deignan, Lorena Wiebes and Charlotte Kool confirmed for Ford RideLondon Classique This feels like the cycling equivalent of a former footballer, of questionable ability, moaning about the current generation saying hello to their mates in the tunnel pre-match. "The only people that should be asked are the ones who were in the battle with me. I know their answer," he claimed, pulling off the quite incredible achievement of apparently managing to ask every single professional cyclist he ever raced against within four hours."Every single pedal hurts": Mollie King raises over £1.

> "Cycle to work schemes are sucking the lifeblood out of cycle shops": Bike shops and Association of Cycle Traders tell Parliamentary Committee of"need for urgent systemic change" to Cycle to Work scheme "Disagree. Pogi is still putting on a show and winning without the peloton hating him. Maybe people are just more like-able than Lance was.""I've raced in multisport, road running and trail/ultra running. One of the reasons I got addicted to ultra running and left the roads and bike behind a bit is that several hours after the winners are finished, they're often still at the finish line applauding finishers, hugging it out and dishing out cake and warm drinks.

The Ford RideLondon Classique begins in Saffron Walden on Friday 24 May, with a stage ending in Colchester. The Saturday will see the race return to Maldon before the finale on The Mall on Sunday 26 May, with eight laps of a central London course.

"Understandably, people were anxious about attending large-scale events and out of the habit of attending in-person events." Just like the road-bikers I see on my own rides around Eryri recently. All very glum looking, rarely smile, no-eye contact, etc. Must all be road.cc contributors?
