    The 2023 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    I'll aim to post thoughts on my team later but for now here is my TDU team: Simon Yates Mattia Cattaneo Lucas Plapp Leo Hayter Rohan Dennis Mikkel Honore Max Schachmann Very happy to have 7 riders - I'm hoping Schachmann and Cattaneo can top 20 (minimum) and I'm optimistic Dennis, Plapp and...

    Hot racing coming up in Australia

    I'd expect them to try use their numbers to make a late solo move (last 3 laps), someone like Harper/Hamilton or even Durbridge beforehand. That'll force Vine, Plapp, O'Connor etc to chase and I don't think they'll have the firepower to claw them back if they've had to work earlier. If they can...

    Teams & Riders Brothers in (crank) arms - Yates Discussion Thread

    It's such a disappointing occurrence, last year he didn't show much before the Giro and then this year he swapped that around and both times he lost huge chunks on one day. Even if it was a bad day for him he should still not have lost that much. If he re-finds his form from early 2018 Giro or...

    Question Have you ever been to a pro cycling event? Share your stories with us!

    I've been to around 4 TDU's, always a fun event and exciting to see the sign-on + riders at the start. Other than that I've watched three TDF stages, 2 in 2013, the Nice TTT and the stage to Aix 3 Domaines. Both were exciting, Greenedge won and then I was at the point where Froome attacked...

    Hot racing coming up in Australia

    Yeah it seemed a bit odd, once he couldn't gain a gap he should have committed to Impey rather than try attack again. Schultz, Howson and Smith all rode out of their skins, but Yates should have attacked as soon as the last of them peeled off rather than let Impey ride on the front for 10...

    Dominating Riders of the 2020-2029 decade

    I'll suggest Ackermann, Ewan and Gaviria as well as other riders who should be in the top 10 for the next decade. All of the 3 have the capability to be a WC if there is a sprinter's WC and they seem to be the cream of the young sprinters coming through. How they evolve will also shape how they...

    U23 races and talents

    Can anyone fill me in on what type of riders (or just any info) on Ben Healy and Sean Quinn? They're two riders who I think will go well this year in one day/ stage races respectively. I was considering them for CQ but decided not to as last year i got burned by Donovan, Arensman and Scott all...

    Hot racing coming up in Australia

    I wouldn't assume so as he seems to have given up his track ambitions (there was an article a few years back on him saying that the opening speed in the team pursuit was too much for him).

    Il Lombardia 2019, one day classic, October 12

    2019 UCI Road World Championships Men's Road Race : 284.5km

    No legs, but at least he rode for his leader. Hopefully he gets a leadership role next year at the Worlds and Olympics.

    2019 UCI Road World Championships Men's Road Race : 284.5km

    I agree- really made the peleton's anticlimax less of a drag on the overall race ranking. Pedersen has so much classic pedigree, it's amazing. Both him and Kung should be great over the next few years at the Classics. For Trentin, I thought he rode well and would have it in the bag, but...
