    Change in title of Renshaw's blog entry

    Susan, it's not about the 404, it's about what the change in title says about whatever's going on inside Rabobank. The nature of hrotha's reply backs this up. I don't agree that "About the website" is really the right sub-forum for this.

    Change in title of Renshaw's blog entry

    Earlier today there was a blog entry from MR titled "It's time for honesty at Rabobank". Now that same blog entry has been re-titled as "It's time for Rabobank to deliver a sprint win". Maybe someone pointed out that the original title was a little provocative? Google turns up this link, but...

    Spoilers in live reports

    I went to catch up on Stage 8 of the Giro today by reading the live reports feed. Instead of the Giro, it had the live report for Stage 1 of the Tour of California. No problem, I thought, I'll read that first and then go looking for the Giro's live report. I was very annoyed to find this...

    Spoiler photos

    Same here. Please CN, go back to the good old days when you could locate and click on the "Live Report" link for a completed race without accidentally finding out who won in the meantime via spoiler photos and headlines! This especially affects readers not in a European time zone, who can't...

    Cycling News iPhone App - on the agenda?

    +1 for an iPhone/iTouch app. Or failing that, a mobile-device-friendly version of the site.

    Rider nicknames

    Bernard Hinault = "Le Blaireau" (The Badger) - can't believe nobody has mentioned this! Oscar Freire = "El Gato" (The Cat) Peter McDonald (Aussie RR Champion) = "The Machine" One of the Extebarrias = "Extra Barrier" to the anglophones at least, after his crash into one (or something along those...

    Why is Gerrans off TdeF squad

    Mate, you forgot serial offenders Bouygues Telecom! :) Little Tommie's initials aren't "TV" for nothing... P.S. The insightful comments on this thread have helped me overcome my rage about Gerrans' non-selection, for which I'm grateful. Luckily Haussler is still there to fly the flag (sorta).

    Ever ridden with a Pro?

    Two (very weak) claims to fame... (1) I once took part in a club race against the current Aussie RR champion (he's a pro, right?) back when he first started racing and was still way under-graded (needless to say he rode the whole bunch off his wheel and was immediately graded up). (2) I once...

    Victory Salute Like A Pro

    What a pork chop Bettini was; not sorry to see him retire.

    Link to this forum?

    Does the CN home page have a link to this forum? All I could see was a link to the "Procycling Magazine" forum. Having such a link would help to drive traffic here.

    Welcome to the CN Forum - Come and introduce yourself

    Yes, somewhere other than the train wreck that is rec.bicycles.racing! May this forum not go the way of that one.

    How to upload an avatar?

    I can see how to turn off my avatar, but not how to upload it in the first place! Any hints please?
