CNN —Twin energy powered a memorable 1-2 finish on Saturday as the 110th Tour de France got underway in Bilbao, Spain. Twin brothers, Adam and Simon Yates, finished the stage in first and second place respectively – the last brothers to do so were Andy and Frank Schleck in 2011. I asked [the team] and they said ‘go for it’,” Adam told reporters after securing the yellow jacket. “I’m ecstatic for him, but I also wanted to win,” Simon told reporters, in typical sibling fashion. Despite finishing behind the Yates brothers, Pogačar, who is teammates with Adam, said he was happy with the results from Bilbao.

Thor Industries, which owns Airstream, enjoyed healthier sales during the height of the pandemic. Thor Industries Inc. cut its sales and earnings outlook as Americans hold off on buying new recreational vehicles amid persistent inflation and rising interest rates. The RV maker, based in Elkhart, Ind., posted steeper-than-expected declines in sales and profit for the recently ended quarter, as customers shied away from big purchases at dealerships. Thor , which owns brands such as Airstream and Jayco, throttled production of its RVs in an effort to match sagging demand and keep costs in check.

☆ Fed should not rely too much on market reaction to guide policy, Goolsbee says

Feb 28 (Reuters) - The Federal Reserve must supplement traditional government data and readings from financial markets with real-time, on-the-ground observations of economic conditions if it is to make good policy, Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee said on Tuesday. "It is a danger and a mistake for policymakers to rely too heavily on market reactions" like stock and bond market gyrations that "tell us which way the markets want the Fed to move," he said. That's slightly higher than where Fed policymakers in December signaled they would need to take the policy rate. Fed policymakers will provide updated projections on the rate path and economy at the end of their March 21-22 meeting. Fed Chair Jerome Powell earlier this month said one of the U.S. central bank's most important resources is the "haul" of information on local economies and communities gleaned from regional Fed banks like the one that Goolsbee now heads.

RV giant Thor Industries is working with SpaceX to add Starlink to some of its RVs. Thor say its brands are the first RV OEMs to work with SpaceX to make Starlink-enabled RVs. Within months, several small RV makers like Alphavan announced plans to integrate Starlink equipment into their tiny homes on wheels. Some RVers have already been independently using this SpaceX tech for fast WiFi on the road. And in the future, Stream It's Cyberlandr RV attachment for the upcoming Cybertruck will also come equipped with Starlink.
