    Schleck's mentality: 101

    hey innerpeace I may as well spell some of this out for you because you'll never figure it out on your own. 1-prologues mean very little, and he was unhappy - but you don't read the news 2- andy caught up (pretty quickly) - VDV packed it in - but you don't read the news. the peloton...

    What should Sky do next?

    epic fail rupert murdoch + wiggins = fail. look at the riders on the team - seriously, not a GT contender in sight, and except for EBH not a single day rider either. Wiggo got lucky with a soft course and negative (LA & astana) tactics last year. The brit mgmt in the car is typical $$ mgmt...

    Schleck's mentality: 101

    @"innerpeace" You are such a fred. go back to golf, you understand nothing about cycling. zero. I'll give you a hint - dont compare a GT stage as equal or similar to a classic on day race because they use the same route. read some of the history of the sport and riders before you drivel. freds...

    New site design

    I see a pattern here... CN readers: I don't like this new site design, philosophy or treatment by the site admins, designers, editors, owners etc. New CN staff: we hear you and don't care, are not responsible, and in any case - since all websites/news organizations/corporations/whatever we...

    Why do I ride so lousy after a tour?

    this is why forums are silly did it never occur to you - as a 'non-racer' - that what you call a tour and what a racer calls a tour (giro, vuelta) are different? Where is the old CN? This is terrible.

    Did you join forum because new site is bad?

    The only reason to register Yes, this is bad, about the worst re-design I have seen. The only optimism I have is that another site will come about because this one is so obviously flawed... whoever is responsible for this 'redesign' could not hit water if they fell out of a boat...

    Site is fine, forum people are rude

    forums suck by design This is just a symptom of what's gone wrong with CN in general. Sorry, but it's true

    New site design

    More Hate for new design When I posted the previous comment I got booted to a "you're not logged in" page" I hate this corporate BS! I had to re-log and re-post. A five minute activity turns into a 20 minute ordeal. The letters to CN was better - forums suck! vox pop = ok, mob rules =...

    New site design

    bad to worse! The new design looks more professional, in a corporate way, but is much harder (ie necessary) to navigate. Your idea of features = bloat, redundancy. The old site was simpler, easier and quicker. Yes, revenue generated by click throughs, pages etc but you're just driving...
