State of the forum 2026

Yes he did, the same with logic. When there’s a line through your name, you deleted your account

It happens to the best and worst of us.

I was scouting for potential places to spent my summer holiday when I came across a holiday home which had received a positive review from a Slovenian named Urška. Should I book it, or should I stay as far away from it as possible in fear of nuclear radiation?

Who is the chief co on the forum?

Is the Forum Software subtly encouring people to do drugs?

This, , is found in the "Food" section of the emojis. Dunno about anyone else, but to me it sure looks like the kind of mushroom you shouldn't eat... unless you wanna... you know... get a little... trippy.

Here's a good one: lots of claims that del Toro gifted 2nd place to Seixas out of sportsmanship. There is no honour amongst thieves.

More that he didn't contest it, from what I've read. Either way we shall never know, since apparently no-one thought to broadcast it.

Random videos display Sexass (Ilmaestro99, 2026) dropping del Toro. Of course difficult to say if the latter fought back or not.

There's a glimpse of hope on the forum that the tyranny will end.

UAE will just buy Seixas instead. Red Rick will need to hit the heroin as alcohol isn't calming him down anymore

Calm down, too Red Rick. It will be nice and diverse. Paul will be winning the Tour while your beloved Teddy will be smashing classics and Vuelta (breaking Rogla's record).

But didn't you have to lose weight?

But then looking me in the eye and smiling she then walks off. Man we had something ink.m ow it. Shouvle aggressively talked to her about 2018 Sanremo but I bottled it, I was like perdersen, van aert in that moment. Shameful ...back to work tomorrow and another collection lost to the stars.

Your subconscious must have seen a major red flag and was looking out for you. Most likely (s)he was a closet Masnada hater.

Apparently Belgium is on the verge of becoming a "narco-state" so I'd suggest testing of any forum members from Belgium ... just saying!

I just noticed 'Cycling111' has deleted his account.

Everyone knows when you delete your account, you also die in real life, so I shall write his obituary.

He gave me a greater appreciation for some of the nuances of the English language. I always enjoyed his machine translator completely missing the intent of my posts, sometimes using a word from the thesaurus that didn't quite fit the circumstance and of course his fury at people using the 'laughing' react to his well thought out points, cycling is extremely serious business after all. My favourite Cycling111 moment was him angrily accusing us of wanting to have Del Toro 'lynched' after we laughed at him slipping out of that corner in Burgos last year, as well as him calling Ilmaestro a 'demagogue' because he wasn't happy they were only showing Trofeo Laigueglia after the race on Youtube.

This is not to mock, his English no doubt much better than my Spanish. I like to think he's he's still out there, throwing his laptop against the wall because someone complained about a long solo, creating an account on the Croation version of Cyclingnews Forum to bemoan the lack of support for Pog in MSR. If anybody can do it, it's 'Cycling111'. Rest in Peace.

I never replied to that purely because I was so confused by it

He leaves behind a greater forum than the one he created.
