    The 29th Coupe de France de cyclisme sur route (2020)

    This year’s French Cup consists of 16 one-day races. Four of the races have the new 1.Pro designation, while the remainder are rated 1.1. I thought it would be handy to have a single thread for all of the races in the series. Last year, a few of the races were streamed live in North America on...

    Watching 2020 road races in the USA

    This post is intended to both provide and ask for information. As far as I know, there are three main outlets for televised road races in the USA. They are all web-based streaming services and they’re all reasonably priced (one is even free), and together, they seem to have fairly comprehensive...

    Question Did Mercatone Uno use Shimano components when they were riding Bianchi frames?

    I recently watched the documentary Pantani: The Accidental Death of a Cyclist, and in one of the dramatized sequences there's a close-up on the rear wheel axle when the Pantani body double is riding a Bianchi frame, and it clearly says "Shimano" across it. I don't know why that surprised me, but...

    Fabio Aru article posted 27th December, 2019

    The link for the article headlined "Fabio Aru to ride 2020 Tour Columbia 2.1 after recovering from Cytomegalovirus" ( https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/fabio-aru-to-ride-2020-tour-colombia-21-after-recovering-from-cytomegalovirus/ ) leads to a page with the CN header, some ads, and the boiler...

    Question about 'cross, what, tactics I guess?

    I have a question based on a possibly faulty and definitely uneducated observation (as has been said, I just started watching ‘cross this season). In asking this question, I don’t mean for a moment to suggest that ‘cross riders aren’t riding so hard that their eyeballs bleed from the green...

    Fan resources

    Hello there. I'm new to cyclocross fandom, having just started watching with this season's World Cup races via my NBC Gold subscription and other races via my FloBikes subscription. I've really caught the bug, though, it's a very exiting sport to watch on television. My question is this. Are...

    Good place to buy a jersey in Paris

    I hope this is the appropriate board to post this in. My wife is in Paris this week for a book signing (if you like the STRANGER THINGS television show and happen to be in Paris on Thursday, consider attending her event at FNAC Saint-Lazare, à 18h as her generous hosts have it) and she wants to...

    Rohan Dennis has come in second at time trials this year at the Critérium International, the Circuit Cycliste Sarthe, the Tour de Romandie, and the Tour of California. This is the one he'll get right.

    Tour de France General Classification "Captains" by Team

    This post represents an ongoing project to forecast what 22 men will be the best placed riders for each team in the 2014 Tour de France. It will be updated as circumstances warrant. Note that the number in parentheses after each man's name is his CQ points total as of 8th June 2014. AG2R La...

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 5, Sisteron - La Mure 184 km

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 5, Sisteron - La Mure 184 km Six categorized climbs, but nothing that looks sharp enough to shake up the General Classification. Another breakaway? Thanks to Afrank for the map!

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 4, Montélimar - Gap 167.5 km

    Critérium du Dauphiné 2014: Stage 4, Montélimar - Gap 167.5 km Breakaway stays away? Makes for difficult predictions. On the other hand, if it's all together (or close to such) at the top of the Col de Manse then the descent into the finish could be exciting. Does this route go...

    Criterium du Dauphine 2014: Stage 3, Ambert - Le Teil 194 km

    One for the sprinters? Who, in fact, are the sprinters here besides Arnaud Demare?

    The 2014 World Tour at the (Roughly) Halfway Point

    We're roughly halfway through the World Tour of 2014, which, between one day races, road stages, individual time trials, a couple of prologues and the odd team time trial offers 166 opportunities to post wins this year. Technically, only 76 of those wins have been allocated but since the actual...

    Text of posts being cut off

    The last couple of days, I've noticed that the text has been cutting out mid-sentence on quite a few posts in the pro road racing forum. I've particularly noticed it in the Lesser Known Races 2014 thread. FYI.

    Following Bike Races While Traveling

    I wasn't sure where to put this question, so I'm creating this thread here, and trying to make it general enough in terms of topic title to possibly be of use to others in the future. My specific situation is that I'll be in Lisbon for the first part of July and don't want to miss the first...

    2014 National Championships

    Reading the news about a probable boycott of the Spanish national championships by ProTour riders got me to thinking about the various upcoming national championship races. They're mostly run off in mid to late June, aren't they? I've tried in vain to find a calendar listing the dates for the...

    Diacritical marks

    Am I just loopy? Is it true that diacritical marks like accents and so on were formerly usable in the Forums but lately (perhaps just today after the boards came back up) their use results in gobbledy-*** symbols? Or am I misremembering and they were never usable?

    2014 51st GP du canton d'Argovie (1.HC) | 12 June

    Anybody know anything about this race? It's been around for half a century and apparently Rui Costa, Fabian Cancellara, and Alexander Kristoff are all going to be there, so it's got that going for it anyway. 15 circuits of a 12.1 km circuit (totalling 181.5 km), through town, out over the hill...

    Who will win the 2014 Tour de Suisse?

    I really wanted to include Pierre Rolland in the options, but surely he's exhausted. :)

    Criterium du Dauphine & Tour du Suisse performances as TdF predictors

    Here's some data. The first two lists show the winners of the ten most recent editions of the two big Tour de France "tune up" races. For each rider, I've listed their finishing GC position (if any) of that year's TdF. Below that, I've listed the podium finishers of record of the last five...
