The final episodes of each season of Succession are all taken from the John Berryman poem Dream Song 29. Season 1’s "Nobody Is Ever Missing,” was followed by the second season’s "This Is Not For Tears,” which preceded season 3’s "All the Bells Say”, until finally the series finale gave us “With Open Eyes.

As we wind down the pre-draft process, time is alluding us. There simply isn’t time left for a deep dive into each prospect in the way we’d want to do.

There’s so much about Trainspotting that’s memorable. The opening monologue, the voyage around the u-bend, the cold turkey sequence, the stuff about it being shite to be Scottish – Danny Boyle’s tale of Edinburgh heroin junkies is packed with unforgettable movie moments. Equally memorable was the promotional poster campaign. The black-and-white portraits, the orange typeface, the railway station-mimicking taglines – the images would find a place in the country’s collective conscience as well as upon the walls of students everywhere from St Andrews to Exeter.

On the heels of a truly dominant performance from his Alpecin-Deceuninck team to shred the peloton and soften his key rivals early in the race, Mathieu van der Poel entered the extremely rarified air of history’s best Cobbled riders by winning his second-consecutive Paris-Roubaix title, and completing the coveted Flanders-Roubaix double, with a seemingly unstoppable 60-kilometer-long solo ride that saw him finish three minutes in front of the closest chasers on Sunday over the infamous cobbled roads of Northern France.

Matej Mohorič delivered a long-shot win with a picture-perfect bike throw over Kasper Asgreen after the two riders emerged from an elite breakaway group in the small town of Poligny deep in the Jura region.
