Thread planning

[Samu Cuenca]

Just to confirm, nobody was planning on making specific race threads for the Olympics? If not I'll just stick the Tokyo thread.

I've always thought there would be specific threads for the races, but someone will obviously have to make them first.

 

[BlueRoads]

I can make them but it would be better if Devil's Elbow made them.

 

[BlueRoads]

So I made one for the men's road race, anyone wants to add infos, or, even more important, make one for the women's road race?

 

[hayneplane]

Can probably stick both the general Tokyo thread and the active race thread anyway. That's not really a problme.

Can we keep the current thread to diversify into discussion of the entire Olympics then have separate threads for each road cycling event the day before each event please.

 

[BlueRoads]

Now, anyone to make a women's thread?

 

[RedheadDane]

@Libertine Seguros?

Nevermind, I'll do it.

2021 Comeback Rider of the Year

With a poll?

Of course. I feel like Jakobsen will win depending on the way the year goes but we’ll see what happens.

You might wanna wait to December, though. But yeah; getting two victories less than a year after almost dying is probably gonna be quite high on the list.

I call dibs on a surprise medalist on Wednesday

I was thinking November or December to make it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I'm making a combined thread for tomorrow's ITTs.

And drafting it around October.

Name will be: CyclingNews 1st Annual Comeback Rider of the Year Award (2021 season)

Will there also be an award for the worst comeback?

Wait and see

I don't think there were any really surprising medalists today. Reusser is the only who doesn't already have her own thread, but unless she becomes world champion in Leuven, there are a few woman who deserves to get one before her IMO. But she definitely proved that her silver medal from Imola wasn't a fluke, and that the federation made the right call when they picked her instead of Chabbey.

And I ask when I post it that no one posts until I am finished copying and pasting all of the comments. I believe I will have 3-4 posts as I started a rough draft. Just right now I am at a page on a Word Document and this isn’t counting pictures. So far there are 12 riders in the running.

1st? So... you're gonna do that every year?

 

[SHAD0W93]

Of course, we always have awards at the end of the year

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Is anyone doing a thread for the Arctic Race of Norway? Always enjoyed that race for some reason, so may throw something together if someone else isn't doing it.

edit: I've now made one

 

[BlueRoads]

Someone interested in making a general (waiting for the) Vuelta thread? Or maybe already plans for stages?

 

[RedheadDane]

I'm considering making a thread for Poland, unless someone with better thread-making skills want the honour.

Don't know, on the one hand I'm happy if you make one, on the other one I fear you will not do enough justice to the star of this year's edition.
