    2013: US world championships (?)

    Question is, will they charge fans to watch? We have this thing in the US in which we expect to watch these these things for nothing. (Unless, of course, you choose to watch from the beer garden. :D) I honestly hope they at least charge a nominal fee to watch. I'm thinkin' $10 a head. Nobody in...

    Hincapie's New Kit

    The Rock Racing kit was the most disgusting to me. Made me want to vomit. You couldn't pick out Hamilton if you wanted to. I wish USA Cycling had the backbone of the Italian Fed. Pozzato's jersey was a joke too and it was good to see them put their foot down and make him change it to a...

    Hincapie's New Kit

    I'm so glad that George respects the basic design of the national champions jersey. Those kits that Hamilton and Liepheimer wore were disgusting and barely recognizable from the jersey they were awarded for being the US Champion.

    Most "breakable" cyclist

    Did you join forum because new site is bad?

    Joined the forum a couple months ago but not a big participant. I've been reading CN for 10 years now and have always enjoyed it. I'm sure the content remains the same, but the layout is enough to drive this die-hard user away. (Die-hard as in 4+ site visits a day) I had never even heard of...

    Taylor Phinney - even he doesn't like the new site.

    Reading Lance's Twitter this morning and it seems that he too thinks it's junk.

    New site

    Change is always uncomfortable when you're used to something. I'm disappointed with the redesign, but like anything else, I guess I'll have to suck it up and adapt.:(

    What Would You Change?

    I second the maintenance thought. You can be in the best shape of your life, but if the bike isn't in good shape you're rollin' the dice..... There's nothing worse than your derailleur falling apart in a TT. Ask me how I know....:rolleyes:
