Congrats to Bora and Bahrain for building bike racing. I hope that all the sky is falling predictions that Tinkof has forecast turn out to be mostly wrong. Seeing some of the recent signings by big named riders,and other key names set to retire, all in cycling are holding there breath hoping for good news.

Re: Re:
Apparently they were pretty close to re-buying Tinkoff.
But I'm actually glad they decided to focus on the talents, rather than go "We want a WT team now."

Hopefully the team stays Conti and eventually fades away, the sport doesn't need Riis involved

Slutshaming PFP in response to her comment about the Lizzie news today, I presume. Lizzie = Mrs. Deignan.trevim said:
Re: Re:
Ferrand-Prevot made a clinical comment about Armitstead. Deignan (her fiancé) then tweeted, then deleted, 'having an affair with a married woman with children is also shameful', which would appear to be a reference to Ferrand-Prevot's relationship with Julien Absalon, and which is just morally indefensible (quite aside from the gender issues).

Re: Re:
Now, mailing things like that even through everyone's able to read it has got something shabby like acting behind someone's back.
What's even worse is the fact that apparently for the youth it has become normal. Bitching around on the internet. Even going way over the top with it. Missing any kind of honor and respectful behavior.
That's what it makes so bad from my pov!
The thing is in the old days they were openly saying it straight in the face. Confronting each other. Playing the war of words.GenericBoonenFan said:

Re: Re:
I didn't say it's not bad, it's something people shouldn't do. But in my eyes it happens to everyone at anytime. I'm sure Deignan regrets it already.
The problem is that people now have a medium to directly unleash their opinion in the world which makes their consideration of what they are about to say much shorter then it used to be. Which results in messages like these.

Re: Re:
Why is it morally indefensible? I don't think having an affair (if you are single yourself or in an open relationship, where your partner isn't against it) with someone who is married is wrong. The wrongdoing solely falls on the person who cheats his partner.Cannibal72 said:

Colorado will not return in 2017. It's also likely the end of that race as we know it.

A race with a different format may be its successor.
