    Spoilers are gone !!!

    A big step forward Thank you for listening to your readers. I had about given up hope but this is a big step toward regaining our confidence. Just went on the site for the first time in a while, and while I still have issues with it, especially slow loading, it is much improved from the first...

    New site design

    ball buster Emory, apparently you didn't get Pedro's point as you are too busy trying to be a smart a**. If you will take the time to read the previous 105 pages of posts you might get a clue. If, as I suspect, your attention span is too short please just keep quiet and speak when you are...

    New site design

    If you set down and read the over 100 pages of feedback you will see plenty of people have tried to help them fix it, they are really not interested in fixing any of the problems that are really frustrating people. I think leaving is exactly the way to make them wake up and realize that if they...

    Write the advertisers

    Since most of you don't want to read the over 100 pages of almost universally negative feedback on the forum about the new website redesign I thought I'd put this some where it might be seen rather than buried. I suggest everyone who is upset about the "new" site click on each and every...

    Guido Bontempi

    guido I remember him very well, for many years he was the "conductor" of the autobus. He was such a great sprinter in his day. Back then I used to coach some junior riders and I would stand near the finish line and when it was time for them to sprint I would shout. "Guido! Guido!" Thanks...

    New site design

    well i just finished reading all 74 pages of this thread. I can't take any more of it. I'll check back in a couple of months and see if anything has improved This will no longer be my home page Like many of the things I have found exceptional over the years "progress" has destroyed...

    [ Now all we need is for the writing to go downhill and you will have shot yourself in both feet. QUOTE] If you go back to the archive and read reports from 5 years ago you'll see that this has in fact already happened

    New site design

    Money Talks Well it seems that the new owners of the cyclingnews brand name currently have little incentive to respond to the hundreds of complaints about the "new look". I would suggest that the best way to get their attention is to make the new change cost them. I for one am going to check...

    New site design

    Thanks for the link, I'm also looking for anyone else's ideas on somewhere else to go. I haven't been back to what used to be cyclingnews since this thread was at 17 pages(I used to visit CN 3 or 4 times a day), just checked back in to see if the 'powers that be' had made any efforts to assuage...

    New site design

    How true, whatever happened to guys like Martin Hardie who could make you feel you were there, watching the race? Now the live reports are extremely perfunctory and filled with quotes from news articles and interviews I've already read. There is no sense of drama imparted in the coverage, and...

    New site design

    I agree 100%, when Gerard sold cyclingnews I just knew this was coming, another great idea ruined. I guess I need to find a new home page, I can't turn my computer on to this every morning.

    New Astana Sponsors

    Amore y Vita, FYI, is an Italian anti-abortion organization, also the team management was also one of the first to speak out against doping in cycling during the 90's. Actually it seems to me like anti-abortion and guns make a perfect fit, how else are they going to murder those who disagree...

    Pantani - most overrated cyclist of all time

    eczema is a disease hey eczema, it must be tough to be the only one with all this knowledge rattling around in your head, (Obviously plenty of empty space in there). As you can see from the vast majority of replies to your post you are a lonely voice in the wilderness. There is a reason...

    Couple of Gila Stats

    Lance Factor? Doc, In answer to your questions, Yes BMC was very ****ed about having to send 5 guys home, but not so much at Lance as at UCI. I mean they were "bending" the same rule coming to Gila but wouldn't have attracted the attention Lance did. As to what the other pro's thought...
