    Is this a paywall website now?

    I wonder how the companies who advertise on this site feel about this. For sure the site is going to lose readership, i mean this isn't a major news outlet like The Guardian which has tens, if not hundred of thousand of readers, just saying. Pete

    Something wrong with accessing your website from Australia

    I can get onto the website but that's it. I click on an article and nothing happens most of the time, this started a couple of days ago. Pete

    Rate the Giro 2018

    I gave it a 9. This Giro had pretty well everything, dramatic unexpected collapses and thankfully no significant crashes. The weather was really kind and the scenery was spectacular apart from maybe stages 2 and 3 in Israel. I also enjoyed the extended coverage on Eurosport...no more waiting for...

    Vuelta 2017 stage 9: Orihuela - Cumbres del Sol, 174 km

    Re: That's untrue, Lewis Hamilton, Daley Thompson, Lennox Lewis, Kelly Holmes, Linford Christie have all won Sports Personality of The Year, voted for by the general public as was "Canadian Brit" Greg Rusedski. Froome's popularity problem is not his perceived nationality but his rather...

    Tour de France 2017 Stage 16: Le Puy to Romans-sur-Isère

    Matthews needs to win the next 3 intermediate sprints, which is doable and a very high placing today to have a realistic chance of winning the green jersey. However, that still leaves 2 flat stages to be contested. Of course, Matthews best chance is if Kittel is OTL on one of the 2 mountain...

    Tour de France 2017 Stage 12: Pau > Peyragudes 214.5km

    Just curious, so Uran gets a 20 second penalty but is allowed to keep his bonus seconds and mountain points? What happens in one day races if someone gets an illegal feed and wins the race? Are there different rules in place? Pete

    Tour de France 2017 stage 9: Nantua > Chambéry - 181,5 km

    I rarely post in here, but usually read through the comments to have a good laugh after I've watched the stage. But today I have to say that the trolling, rider insults and pure hatred has reached an all time low. The moderators on here really need to get a grip and stamp this sort of vile...

    Doping In Athletics

    Re: Re: One of my ex-clubmates who is still winning medals at the World Masters and named her only daughter Stefka might be bummed about the women's high jump...but I'd not be too disappointed if Blanka was given the WR. There are plenty of Olympic records that would be affected if this...

    Doping In Athletics

    Presumably, all national records will be reset too? Which would mean Coe losing 3 British records that he holds. Pete
