Is it really worth juicing to discuss luke warm racing coming up in Australia?
Is it worth risking a forum ban just to be Greg's hero for a day?

The Cycling News forum is looking to add some volunteer moderators with Red Rick's recent retirement. If you're interested in helping keep our discussions on track, send a direct message to
In the meanwhile, please use the Report option if you see a post that doesn't fit within the forum rules.
Thanks!
Only if you want to get a good campaign going from the start of the year. But if you want to peak during the classics or GTs, you'll probaby be better off putting your juices on ice for now and instead go for a beach holiday in places like Tenerife, Mexico or Colombia for a month or two.
Depending on your location - and general work situation - you might have to drastically increase your intake of caffeine.
Talking about nefarious forum practices; you've edited the thread title! Something which I, of course, would never do!
Apparently Chris Froome is already getting on it, so that to me suggests strongly that the answer is not worth it.
Cookster, I think we mean that it's a little too early in the season to get cooked.
Besides, if I start the season too strongly then I run the risk of starting up a forum discussion on how "far off his best" I am, and that could be never-ending.

Looks like your brother Claude has started the season off hot in the Richie Porte vane (or is that vein?).
As has Squire, very much unlike Andreas Kloden.
I have a feeling that these two might be in the forum autobus come April.
Talking about Luke:
| 1 | PLAPP Luke | INEOS Grenadiers | 100 | 15 | 4:40:42 |
| 2 | CLARKE Simon | Israel - Premier Tech | 75 | 10 | 0:03 |
| 3 | MATTHEWS Michael | Team Jayco AlUla | 60 | 7 | ,, |
| 1 | VINE Jay | UAE Team Emirates | 50 | 15 | 0:46:39 | 48.232 | |
| 2 | DURBRIDGE Luke | Team Jayco AlUla | 30 | 7 | 0:03 | 48.180 | |
| 3 | O'BRIEN Kelland | Team Jayco AlUla | 20 | 2 | 0:25 | 47.805 |
Admittedly, I don't know how warm either of them were - except I guess they're always "Luke warm".
It seems that the current forum consensus is that Logic is "far off his best" right now.
I'm not too concerned. I predict that nobody will be able to hold his wheel come May, with his "Roglic is your friend?" taunts.

And the oscar goes to

For when he flicked his elbow, you damn sure came through and did your turn.'
Over the years I've gone from racing, to being a fan who had a very good idea of what's going on, to watching occasional highlights of pro racing. Watching Kobe race to two consecutive wins on a historically middling team who is now bossing it proves as a reminder why I don't watch cycling anymore. It's too obvious.
Sure, sports are rife with doping, but it's easier to hide when you have player unions in team sports like NFL football and, uh, football. It's also more interesting than watching a rider take a flyer in a race in January.

Goossens winning two races on Mallorca is hardly an indicator of nefarious forum practices.

I think we all know who the sexiest pro cyclist in the peloton is...
Tom Sexton (procyclingstats.com)
So, if @gregrowlerson is secretly Tom, then; yes, he is.
I don't think anyone could argue with the fact that Tom Sexton is the sexiest rider in the pro peloton. It's literally his name!
I feel a little sorry for Pogacar right now. Obviously in great form, but at Milan-San Remo he's about to run into topcat who appears to be going thermonuclear.
Pogacar may still end up the winner in the history books, but only if doping controls have their say in this classic's aftermath.

I get the feeling that some forum members have started fueling up for what looks like an inevitable Belgian-Slovenian (BS) war!
Remco and Roglic fans have been heavily threadated with horse tranquillisers. I defy any rational person to try reading these threads without shaking their heads and making a wtf face. Occasionally I’m a voyeur in these threads but I often find it tiresome. The whine fest isn’t even a decent fight like we used to have in the Froome days. And we’re two months away from the giro. It’s going to be a great season.
I was thinking that if that thread had a poll for "What subject should we discuss in here?", then recent topics of communication would have aptly gone under the umbrella of the 'Vino option'.
And I shall sneak in with my Danish-French alliance!
By "alliance", I mostly mean "Danes having success in French races", though, of course I wouldn't mind some French wins.
