Thread planning

[Potomac]

Should we be expecting Vuelta threads?

 

[scribers]

I call dibs on the Pablo Torres thread. (If I can remember to do it and it doesn’t already exist)

 

[RedheadDane]

So, who calls dibs on the Pablo Castrillo thread?

 

[Berniece]

No Tour of Britain thread planned?

I'll make one quickly

 

[RedheadDane]

Not really about planning...

@Samu Cuenca, didn't you make a Kern Pharma thread, once-upon-a-time?

Why on Earth would I ever make a Kern Pharma thread? Or a Burgos thread? Or a Caja Rujal thread?

Huh? I thought you'd made a thread for a team that also have a devo team, and maybe a women's team too... Lizarte?

Which Spanish team is it that I'm a fan of again?

Pharma?😁

You are allowed to make multiple team threads.
But guess I have to do everything myself...

I am very close to reporting you guys. I feel deeply hurt.

Anyone going to make a European Championship thread to discuss Stefan Küng‘s coronation tomorrow?

 

[RedheadDane]

So... who's gonna make threads for the World Champions? I suppose having one for the entire thing - like we had for the European - wouldn't work.

Yesterday I started on WC ITT for the men, but I thought to myself, these races are too big for my short openings. Just not comparable at all to those of Devil's Elbow, so I refrained from it.

The problem is there's not much else to talk about , so the WC threads would be welcome sooner that later.

Well, I guess that's my Wednesday evening sorted...

I did one for the ITT to make your life easier

 

[Berniece]

Does anyone follow, and do we need a single topic for all WC para-cycling races? I don't follow it at all, but if anyone wants to discuss it we might want to create a topic for it.

So a thread was opened as a general one about the World Championships, then renamed as being about the Men's TT, but with no other WC location, it is the repository for anything to do with the Worlds.

If threads for specific events are imminent, I'll wait and transfer then there when they open, but unless that is soon (like a few hours) the Men's TT thread will become too multi-faceted, I suspect. Shall I just open a World Championships general thread, and move the non-Men's TT stuff into that?

I will make one for the women's ITT, and then I assume there will be different threads for the road races as well. The mixed relay and U23 and junior races probably don't need their own threads.

So there is a need for a general thread?

 

[Berniece]

Not really in my opinion. It’s not like it’s all over the place. There is more discussion about the WC in the Pogacar topic than in the ITT topic. Which is also fine btw

 

[Samu Cuenca]

A general thread will probably just be confusing. Last year there were also U23/junior threads for both the time trials and road races, so 6 threads in total across genders, age groups and disciplines.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Maybe we could also have a commuter thread with a discussion of what planes the riders are flying in on? I heard a rumor that remco fly with a budget airline very cheap, because he is highly superstitious and he believes he always win when he fly with them

 

[RedheadDane]

So, who's gonna make the U23 threads?
I have a cold, you can't expect me to do it...
