New CN Site.

The new site is all over the place. More simplification and less waffle. 😕

Yeah, that's going to happen. To go back would be to admit defeat. If that were to happen then someone would have to take responsibility for spending a lot of time and money on failure.

How true... It is not that I dont like the new design, rather I hate that they scrubbed many of the great features...

...like prompt and full race results. And easily searchable databases.

You can´t make your sheet larger and you can´t make your house larger by stuffing it full with lovely things.
CyclingNews naively tried to make the page larger or at least to look larger, but what they get at the end is constipation - that the doctor should come.
By the way CyclingNews has the best repoters.😱

Full results were always there - just hidden by the 'show more' link. This feature was removed last night.

You can't see it yet because of the race results processor issue, but one of the cooler aspects of the new website (IMHO) once it's all running right is the rider database which is linked to each rider's profile from the results. They will work like this (http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/24th-tour-de-beauce-2-2/stages/stage-6) where you can click through to both the team and rider profiles.

Cheers

restore the old!!!!

I have been visiting since it was Bill's own page. There have been many changes since then, but I've hung in there. Not this time though. It is hard to read and no longer convenient to navigate. I'll go else where or perhaps just stick with SBS.com for Tour news.

Signed,

Angry and disappointed.
 
I'm signing up for the old one. Way to many new things and lots of old stuff left out. We have had the older format for years and all knew just where to go and how to get to it. Now I feel like I am in a maze of mirrors and can't get out ! HELP
 
If wanted to read Bikeradar I'd already be reading Bikeradar. I'm afraid unless Cyclingnews improves I won't be a religious reader of the site anymore.

I wouldn't be suprised if the number of visitors to the site decreased.
 
So, I was pretty put out when you first changed the layout and design of the site and after venting my spleen thought - I'll persevere. However my I think my number of visits tell their own tale.

Usually I'd look first thing and then again at lunchtime. If its a busy day cyclingwise I'd look in the afternoon too.

I didn't bother looking at all yesterday and have just had a cursory glance today.

The layout is a nightmare. Its impossible to check things out quickly. The photo galleries related to races seem to be truncated versus what was there before.

As so many others have said - its bikeradar with a different header.

You've wrecked it chaps.

Coincidentally I used to buy procycling (another future publication) but gave up when it became too American centric.

Cyclingnews is unfortunately now just trash
 
I have just found that there is a "Full Archive" link on the homepage.
