Thread planning

Come to think of it, the better solution may be to just put the climb profiles for each stage in spoiler tags for stage races because it provides a workaround for the disadvantages of both ways of formatting OPs.

That would already be a huge improvement indeed. Use spoiler or even quote tags per stage, so people can simply unfold that stage.

Personally I prefer the threads "cleaner" as well, as I'm not really interested in the details of all the climbs, but I know that many are, so spoiler tags are a good idea.

By the way... there are really few women's threads. Maybe now that the women's calendar is expanding and we have a few games for those races there is interest to have threads for two or three more of the top women?

I have been considering both Wiebes and Kool.
There's also my suggestion for a Norsgaard thread.

Hey, there's already a Wiebes thread, but I have considered making it a dual/duel thread for her and Kool.

And if Lucas Towers gets a breakthrough at some point, we'll need a Two Towers thread for him and Alice.

Of the current pros, I think Vos, AVV, CUL, Wiebes, Balsamo and Kopecky are the ones who have their own threads.

Oh, there is a Wiebes thread? Good, because I was starting to think it was a bit weird if there wasn't a Wiebes thread.

Apparently I never added it to the thread directory, so I better do it now.

I had suggested Lady Be Kool--it is an old Kool Cigarettes ad.

 

[Netserk]

Maybe a women road racing sub-forum would be in place at this point.

Or, we could just talk about women's racing where it's relevant.

Had an idea for a thread but not sure if it's worth the effort.

We've probably all come across some guys on Strava that are clearly pro's but they don't use their real names. So i thought it might be interesting to list those who are not easily identifiable, based on times in relation to the times of riders who are using their real name in a race, it's sometimes possible to figure out who they are. Mainly interesting if you see a KOM by a pro, that you could check who it is. But so far i can think of two (i had a 3rd but i forgot). So would people like the idea for a thread, and if so, do others know (former) pros that are on Strava under aliases? I'm not going to make a thread for 2 riders obviously.

Correcaminos . John Deere

Dani Martinez Yves Lampaert

I can't find it now, so I may be misrembering things, but I was sure I once discovered Hugh Carthy under a weird name on there.


Is anyone working on a thorough Gran Camiño thread?

 

[RedheadDane]

Anyone planning on making a women's Omloop thread?
I suppose people would prefer to keep the two races in separate threads, as they will partially be happening at the same time.

I'll happily make one.

There's no Gregoire thread yet, is there?

No.

 

[BR2]

Really thinking about that Grégoire thread, but maybe someone else wants to make it?

 

[RedheadDane]

Anyone making a De Panne thread?
Or two De Panne threads?
Personally, I'd say that since the races are on two different days, there's no problem in having them in the same thread.

Can you make one?

 

[RedheadDane]

If one hasn't been made by tomorrow morning, I will!
You may consider this a threat.

A thread, I said! Can you make a thread! Not a threat.

 

[BR2]

By the way a Lenny Martinez thread would be great. I just made a Grégoire one already, I cannot be the go-to-woman when it comes to all French riders... especially since I'm not even French.

It is a threat that I will make a De Panne thread if no one else does.

I have one prepared, in my head. Just waiting for the right moment.

Please don't. We have two lesser known races threads where such races will fit in nicely.

The only WT race that should be discussed in the LKRT is TdP.
