    The 2023 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    About Kuss, I was indeed surprised to see that his best ever return is a lowly 510 points. Barring major illnesses or injuries, he should be able to better this. Jumbo does like their 2 leader for GTs and if Roglic skips the TDF, I think Kuss will be their secondary card. So I'm expecting Kuss...

    The 2023 CQ Ranking Manager Thread

    Submitted my team with just a few hours to go. My debut last year was woeful in general, but I did have the bright spark of a 'stage' win in May. Hoping for more such stage wins this year.

    General News Thread

    Incredibly shocking and sad news. I have been an avid listener to the Cycling Podcast for nearly 5 years now. I especially love their daily grand tour podcasts which go far beyond just the racing. Will sorely miss Richard. My heartfelt condolences to his family and the Cycling Podcast team. On...

    Appropriately, he is an inform rider and so were 4 of the top 6!

    Paris-Nice 2022 (03/06 - 03/13)

    Are they taking a completely new route up the Col d'Eze? I know that they have used different approaches to it in the past, but never remember it being as steep as this one.

    Rate the 2022 Giro d'Italia Route

    A long-time reader here, but this is my first post in this forum :) Gave a 6. Was thinking 7 after the mountain stages were revealed, but the pitiful time trial distance (and Vegni's comments about it) made me drop it to 6. The big disappointments are of course the TT kms and the final mountain...
