As well as the blog here and the twitter account, the inner ring is now on the microblogging site tumblr: inrng.tumblr.com

Reader requests
If you’ve got a question about the sport, try asking. This week’s piece on the range of national champion’s jerseys was a popular read and it came about after a reader put a few questions to me and I went to take a further look.
Pro cycling column
Pro Cycling Magazine kindly asked if I’d write a piece for them about the use of Twitter in the sport and you can read my thoughts in the latest version of the magazine (edition 159). You’ll have to buy the magazine to read it, especially since the column is more than 140 characters long.
Caption competition winner
I’ve been away for the last two weeks and in my absence cued up series of posts including a caption competition for the above photo from cyclingnews.com.
I had to reach back in time to find this photo as normally not much happens at this time of year. Little did I know Alberto Contador would jump out of a plane during this time providing many caption-worthy photos.

The number of readers seems to go up and up so chances are that many of you have missed a few past pieces, especially from the early days of the blog. Much content is related to the news and results but there are some pieces that are still relevant today.
On tour
I’m away for the next few days on holiday so the blog will be a bit quieter. But I’ve lined up some articles to read so be sure to drop by each day as if you like the daily mix of news, analysis and Euro-rubbish then you’re sure to find something.
