Website is still terribly slow. On mobile today but tried to clean up a bit (it's a *** on a small screen) but it very well could be the host, rather than the website. Anyway, December hopefully time to fix it! I made a team selection functionality on the website. It now requires users to...

Game is kind of over so haven't prioritized fixing the site. Will do it before next season! As it happened at end of season I think it's due to I efficiencies in calculations as database probably got large and was made quickly and not super efficiënt. Regarding team creation, I made something...

Thanks. Will try to debug later... Also got a message now that daily update failed so seems to be server issues as I haven't changed code for months. Anyway, will be fixed for next season :-)

@Devil's Elbow as well. Still problems? I haven't really paid attention to it but when I just opened it the main rankings loaded instantly. Although, I see my own teams page only shows the riders not the other graphs / tables. Page code is on a machine Im not using much anymore but if I...

I wasn't piling on. Actually feel bad for the moderator.

Sucks to be a moderator. Another victim in this hypocritical world where eyes are closed but then the moderator can't close his. Luckily Vuelta game is a distraction. Anyway, Vuelta is handling it poorly. At least they are doing better then the previous time as now at least there was a stage...

Ide Schelling, which I have in my team, is retiring already! Says peloton is going to fast for him nowadays and it's not fun anymore.

Widar faster than Pogacar on Tignes (steepest part). Over a minute faster.

I can't find it on HBO Max at least! This was a killer. Odd that there is no broadcast as this defines the whole race.

Doping you can do alone. You don't need your team for it. Motors in a bike... The whole team needs to be complicit. We had Roglic move from Visma to Red Bull. He then convinced them it's ok to have a motor as he was using it at Visma? Specialized thinks... sure. Good idea. That will boost...

Might regret this in 10 years but I think all comments about motors are just ridiculing this whole forum. Makes this the place for tin foil hats. Easy to brush of all 'clinic' as a result as the place of conspiracy moon landing rejecting fools. History, other sports and common sense all...

Really good article, using this to reflect on doping in cycling (and lack of curiosity of press corps). Effectively everyone forced to be part of the show as marketing bumps with journalism. https://defector.com/an-anatomy-of-the-doping-story-that-has-the-tour-de-france-press-room-buzzing

Really good article, https://defector.com/an-anatomy-of-the-doping-story-that-has-the-tour-de-france-press-room-buzzing

Effectively a FTP test and above 7wkg. Nothing to see here, obviously just the natural GOAT. It's all plausible as they eat a lot of carbs (important for a 20 minute effort like this obviously) and he only a year ago got a good coach. That and natural talent makes this completely believable...

In cycling you never know. Sky years were much slower than before and after but something was amiss nonetheless. However, there are scales to the madness. Evenepoel could very well be on the clean side. Great TT, ok in the mountains. Most days at least. Not implausible.
