    Moderation

    I find that those who are fanboys, as it were, can find themselves personally insulted when opinions go against there favorite rider. I was a Big Fan (fanboy lol) of Sagan and found this Forum because of my Fandom and was surprised at his non-big acceptance. But stayed and learned so much more...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Eurosport commentary

    A big part of Blythe's problem on panel discussions is he talks nonsense and wraps other on the panel into his nonsense. He makes me cringe so often that anytime he says anything that is a good contribution I still focus on his nonsense. For me in my mind I now use the expression I created...

    Here in California I only watch the replay BUT Stupid Flo for the 1st time this year when I searched for replay and race name I got the replay, BUT...they had a Side Panel with other Video that said in the title WHO WAS LEADER of the GC. Everyone keeps telling them not to put Spoilers on the...

    Of course Renshaw would approve it would enhance his head butting technique. :)

    Cycling on USA TVs, desktops, laptops, and handheld devices

    One thing I like about Flobikes is that you can pick resolution if you are getting slower internet AND lately when I have only been able to watch replays late is you can click on the playing Video and choose from a drop down up to 2x with 1.25x, 1.5 and 1.75x available. P.S. When going down from...

    Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey 2024, 21st to 28th April

    IF I can say it here.... The only reason to watch figure skating (and only for a short look) is to see the young ladies skating backwards and their little skirt flipping up. :D

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    How about GOAE Doesn't roll off the tongue but Greatest Of An Era. OK I know it won't fly but since comparing era's is impossible it could fit.

    Live coverage of Sprint Finishes: Head-on camera or Helicam shot?

    I was thinking about having the organizers trying for later evaluation, to mount a camera about (experiment to what distance is best) 30 meters behind the finish line and about 10 meters elevation(again experiment with different heights) so that the view is from the front but with some elevation...

    Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey 2024, 21st to 28th April

    Sprint stages LOL. Just adding to the pile of wins for prolific sprinters, that's all. Jakobsen is a good guy but I like seeing different riders win sprints for some intrigue. :)

    Giro d'Italia Rate the 2024 Giro d'Italia Route

    Yes lets waste the Stelvio where everyone is going to get back on and the rest of the climbing is short enough for a very large Grupetto(sp) to form it is essentially almost a unipuerto stage. Where the sprinter get to suffer early but still know they will easily make the cutoff.

    Giro d'Italia Rate the 2024 Giro d'Italia Route

    Looks like 8 sprint finishes to me maybe two or three could slightly reduce group sprints. Lots of boring stages this year. I hope the interesting ones are raced well by the riders. Lesser sprinters should be licking the lips for this route.

    Teams & Riders EF Pro Cycling

    I saw it on one of the cycling news sites I think CN but might be Velonews. Anyway it's black with a white stripe with EF full name in black letters across the Chest. It's supposed to be a throw back look that I am not familiar with and I think for a one off it's good, might not wear well...

    Paris-Nice 2024, March 3-10

    They probably used the regular store bought double A batteries instead of the good brands like duracell or energizer Ones for this race. LOL :):D:p Just kidding...not a You Know What sub forum reference.

    I was able to see on YouTube subscribed to PCN where they have been putting no commentary ambient sound. I searched on YT for Mallorca challenge 2024 and it was labeled 2023 but was 2024 maybe getting around YT removal. Here in cali. watched it delayed of course not getting up that early.
