Okay, I have a question!
Who the *** is Dara Marks Marino, and why does she keep popping up in the "Popular today" ranking on PCS?
www.procyclingstats.com
Did she feature in the E-World Championships recently?

She has the 17th most views in PCS today. She has been trending for nearly a week so she must be famous for something.

I highly suspect that at this point - probably already when I posted - it's because her name keeps popping up on the front page she gets so many views.

The page counter has been reset and she is already the most popular rider so far today.
My theory is people are googling her name for non-cycling reasons. Maybe she won the lottery or dancing on ice or something like that. They click on the top google result which is her PCS profile. As she is from the US this drives up the numbers while Europeans are asleep. Then, like you said, people see her name on the first page and keep clicking it for curiosity.

Not to mention likely thinking she's a younger rider, who just signed a contract.

A few hours ago Dara Marks Marino had over 2000 views on PCS. Now she has been completely removed from the top 50.

Hopefully just a matter of unfortunate lightning or something, otherwise Raul Garcia Pierna slowly seems to be returning to his former glory.

I was thinking this count be the sad end for RGP, having a Bananito moment, but he looked quite good just now

I had the same feeling recently with this guy. He's probably a bit obscure for your usual taste, so you might not have heard of him:

Well she hasn't really earned herself one in the road forum yet.
Hopefully she'll come back stronger.

I don't know if the cause is physical, mental, if it's about her team, her trainer, herself, but it's clear something is not working in her road career so far. Expectations are high, after Strade Bianche (first race of the season) there was already a column on a Dutch cycling website with the premise basically being "why does Fem van Empel suck so much on the road"? I can imagine that kind of stuff is not very motivating.

Yeah, nobody deserves that and especially not in a country where top class female cyclists aren't exactly a rarity.

There aren't any talented male cyclists to write about...
Hopefully she is able to successfully work through this! I wish her the best!It appears she does not have a thread, even if she certainly would have deserved one:

I couldn't find a dedicated thread for Stefan Küng......
I don't follow races from km 1, and don't read a detailed recap afterwards, but does this guy try much to get away in breakaways? It feels like he really should be one of the most offensive riders in the peleton. Küng has a BIG engine, but doesn't pack much of a sprint or change of pace. That provides him a lot of decent results, but hardly any wins. He should really try in very many races to be in a breakaway.

Here it is:
Teams & Riders - Stefan Küng thread
Is he Swiss? Is he a Liechtensteiner? He's raced for both countries, but what I do know is that he's been putting in some gutsy riders since he became a pro cyclist.

It was right there in the index.
