wakey wakey sleepy mods! saturday 9 / 8 /18 looks a lot like soft porn in the comments section of the George Bennett article

I think the number of responses to your (rhetorical) questions provides the answer. Nobody cares. The readers are not interested in "journalism", so slanted biased "news" that is full of editorial comment is OK. Ignoring real news is also OK. Being current is not important. CN still shows...

Why can't a high profile cycling web site like Cycling News have recent images of important people? Why is it always a 2004 (11 year old!) image of Michael Ferrari? Rcent images are all over the web. Shoddy journalism? Laziness? Cheapness?

Heinie - Paddy in charge = no change possible. Status quo Cookson in charge = change possible. not guaranteed, possible

Under the old regime of Heinie and Paddy the UCI had a rule of personality and personal power. The big guys did what they wanted to do, tough luck for everyone else. We are now in a period of transition to a rule of law. Under the rule of law, the "boss" does not decide who to "take down"...

Man Oh Man... I've been crying soo hard about poor Lance having to give up all the things he cheated so hard for so long to acquire. The jet, the house in Austin, the $$millions$$, it just goes on and on. Is there no justice, he cheated fair and square to get that stuff. But Lance should do...

bear vs dog spray An FYI: the "bear spray" , which I have purchased and used in another context, is very different. It shoots a BIG cloud of repellent, which is what you'd want if a bear is charging at you. If deployed while riding a bike, given your movement and wind etc chances are you...

not another blonde joke! A blonde ordered a pizza and the clerk asked if he should cut it in six or twelve pieces. "Six, please. I could never eat twelve pieces." or..... There once was a blonde who was very tired of blonde jokes and insults directed at her intelligence. So, she cut and...

no need for confusion First my motive: I truly appreciate cyclingnews.com in general, and this forum in particular. Neither are perfect, but the pluses outweigh the minuses. I want to show my appreciation in a concrete manner. "Share the love" so to speak. How it works: In other forums...

I was thinking of starting a PIF ( pay it forward) on the forum. Basically that just means giving some cycling related stuff away. EG, I have a copy of "The Cyclist's Training Bible" I would gladly send to a member, a way to "give back", so to speak. First I want to know if its "OK" with the...

Silly Ignorant Me Here I thought it was about Robert Frost! Fire and Ice By Robert Frost Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To...

Cav is really pyssed! " I couldn't stop at that point because the commissaires wouldn't have let me get back on." After years of complaints that Cav gets towed over the big climbs the poor little fella is forced to ride the whole way. In the cold. Like everybody else. Imagine the...

Giro and TV OK: Direct TV carries both Universal and beIN Sports (channel 620) I'm getting the beIN channel loud and clear in very nice HD. Yesterday the Giro finally appeared on their programming schedule! Have set the DVR to record every one. So, for now, beIN in included at no...

what Ricco does I don't care what he does in 2013 or forever. As log as he just goes away. PLUS, there are plenty of other Fing good cyclists who are not Aholes. Wy not follow them?

Asides 1) "Hope it's like Ullrich 2002, and he will come back stronger then before like Ullrich 2003." ..... I don't think that is supposed to happen any more. 2) "I would drink with Andy anytime." .... so would a lot of people, which is part of the problem AS just has a weak...
