2 and 3 are definitely worthy but I must have missed something as I have no idea what The Dot! is a reference to.I'm gonna ressurect this thread; shoot me*!
Been thinking about a few new ones recently:
1: The Dot!
2: BlueRoad's kidnappings.
3: I feel like it's been mentioned, but LS' "love" for Sepp Kuss.
4: And I guess my, errr... slightly... wonky... math abilities.
*Please don't actually shoot me.

I don't know, Paris-Nice is a pretty big race.It's nothing worth talking about.
Speaking of Durianrider he finally appeared on my YouTube recommended of Pogacar saying he didn’t use disc brakes and him using it as proof of his theory. Interesting chap.I'd say Durianrider is much more of a YT guy who happens to have posted on CN tho
The Contador cult around 2015-2016 (thats when I started posting on here, it possibly goes way longer back). People would engage in insane conversations and people would be banned on the regular, almost daily I feel. I got at least two bans in that period and I can guarantee it stems from me arguing with these people. Nothing could stop some of these fans. The cult was lead by LF, Red Rick was a vocal fan, Miburo, and a few of the very extremists were permead. Please help me remembering some of these legends.
Every pedal stroke would be analyzed, and I guess that the meme about it. People would be overly ecstatic or overly depressed, even by very small things like losing a few seconds in February in Volta a Algarve. Think of Logic-Is-Your-Friend and multiply that with 20 of those people, and you have the Contador-thread on a daily basis between february-august.
Yeah, Nibali was nothing like that IMO. The only thread I can see having the potential is the Remco-thread because a) his a phenomenal talent, just like Contador b) he's heavily scrutinized and lots lots of people have very different opinions on him, just like Contador c) he has a small, extremely dedicated group of fans (Logic being the ringleader, just like LF back in the day, ALWAYS prepared to defend the icon), just like Contador (his was just a lot bigger - and Remco is still young).The Nibali cult/thread then became it's substitute, although much of the time it was a little more tongue in cheek.
Completely forgot about El Pistolero as well. Makes the Valverde critics/sceptics looks like amateurs these days and most often when he ventured into a discussion, would put on a masterclass in his deceiving, dishonest discussion antics. Funnily enough, if I remember correctly, he wasn't all that big of a Contador-fan despite his name, but rather a cobbled classics guy. His favourite in that period of time must have been Boonen and Gilbert?
As the starter of this thread I would say yes it is meme worthyIs "Not Chris Harper" - and its variations - a meme?

Most banned user. BanProCycling.What’s BPC?
I dont remember that guy tbhMost banned user. BanProCycling.
14. Tuesday - thehog's favourite day of the week. All major news stories inevitably break on a Tuesday.
I hated talking with him and Ryo to the point I didn’t really post anything for years.Yeah, I was about to mention him after reading your previous post. I never really spent much time on the Contador thread but I also only started posting in the spring of 2017 if I recall correctly (despite opening a user some four years earlier) so it was close to the end of his career.
He was quite the drag to get into a conversation with...
