Paris-Roubaix Femmes on Sunday from next year?
Boo...
Would be much better if they kept it on Saturday, gave us full-race coverage, and added U23, and Junior editions as well. (Shown on YouTube, like they've done for the Men's U23, and Junior editions for the last few years.)

The Roadside incidents thread was closed because pretty much everything that was to be said, within the rules, pretty much had been, and because trying to maintain it within the rules was not practical. The deletion activity of the administrator on the stage 11 thread shows that they are even more determined not to keep anything even slightly political on the board than @Cookster15 and I were. Please do not try to resuscitate that here (I have deleted a few comments)

To say it very kindly: I don't get why you have a more strict approach than ALL sports media in the world when it comes to this issue. It doesn't make any sense what so ever. It's not hard to distinguish between things that influence the race and political views. It's not hard. That's what the sports media are doing all the time. So you can do it too.

Honestly, most sports social media pages are trash heaps with constant baiting, BS, and bullying, Yeah we get some of that here, but this forum is a step above all of them. Some of the restrictions help keep it that way,
