    Separated Shoulder

    The pain is normal, and you will have it for about a year. I had a grade III complete separation two years ago, started on the trainer that week, and was riding on the road in less than three weeks. However, I went to physical therapy three days after the injury, once the swelling went down...

    What's up with Lampre?

    This is exactly why the UCI needs to go away, or any other international fed for that matter. The UCI can run the worlds if they want to, but all other racing should be run by national feds, or better yet, just the organizers. Really, there is no need for an international federation, other...

    Ricco's Girlfriend positive for CERA

    No, It is doubtful that she doped while pregnant. The article states that she returned to racing shortly AFTER her pregnancy, and placed 2nd at the Italian Cross Nats. It is likely she doped in the run-up to the nationals, and after she gave birth.

    CycloCross Worlds Broadcast

    Yep, tried it again, despite the link to the page, it does not appear that the event is scheduled on Universal. Anyone know if and where web streaming can be found?

    CycloCross Worlds Broadcast

    Well, the link works, but when you check the broadcast schedule, all they have for those days is alpine skiing. Anything I'm missing?

    Weak McQuaid singing from SA Tourism's Book

    One solution to most of cycling's ills. Get rid of the UCI...Let national feds and the race directors run the show. The ASO never should have backed off of its threat to go their own way. What would the situation look like if all of the major races were removed from UCI involvement?

    AFLD is out at the TdF

    So since the UCI kicked the AFLD to the curb, what would others think of getting rid of a central governing body and returning authority to the national federations and race directors. I don't think that it would ever happen, but it would create a purer sport perhaps. Now if the UCI keeps...

    What are you afraid of??

    Funny how many people mention heights...I don't mind the heights, have taken falls up to 20 meters, but off-vertical slabs turn me into a blubbering puddle. The thought of "cheese-grating" down scares me like nothing else. I also have a hard time with pot holes. Since hitting one at about...

    SRAM and Zipp sign on to sponsor Astana

    The contrarian and negative attitude on this forum is just astounding. Usually I just like to read for entertainment value, but at times I can't help but respond to some of the assenine assertions. I'm sure that Armstrong, being the maven of all that is evil, will scheme to sabotage Astana's...

    Most gruelling professional sport

    Okay, so I used to climb a fair bit, including some fairly tough alpine rock, and I have done two full IM races and multiple half IM races, most in a respectable time...I think that I can say that neither is as tough as a stage race...Although mountaineering comes close. Triathlon racing, even...

    New equipment...All advert hype?

    Just thought I'd get some advice from some of the impartial cranks, curmageons, naysayers and self appointed experts. I'm thinking of a new frame, but I'm wondering if all of the carbon crap out there is just hype and a fad. I used to have an aluminum lugged carbon bike that was stolen, and...

    New site design

    live feed & results Ok, on another note, the live feed still does not update. Even worse, once you click on "latest," the site updates only once. Then, to get more current information, you have to close the browser, reload the website, and do it all over again. As for results, the staff...

    New site design

    There are still no stage descriptions, and the live feed does not automatically refresh, nor is there a way to refresh it manually. To update the live feed you have to close the browser, reload the website, and click on the live coverage icon. I know that this is not intended, but it needs to...

    New site design

    Ok, things change. I did prefer the old format, but I can live with this design. Unfortunatelly what I do find deeply disapointing is the complete lack of useful information in the race coverage. Today I wanted to follow the TdS, and was pleased to see that there was a live feed icon. I...

    Did you join forum because new site is bad?

    Live feed that exists as an empty page, no stage details, corrupted data, what more could you ask for?
