Thread planning

So... who's making the stage 19 thread?
Just so we avoid another double...

I will make a poll of the worst GT in the 21st century after the Vuelta. The Giro candidates are clear after the poll two years ago. The GT elimination game provided options from the 2010s. So I'm most in doubt of what the best poll options are before that. Was 2002 the worst Armstrong Tour? 2006 could be a candidate for clinic reasons. 2009 is a given. Is 2007 the best Vuelta option?

I've got fond memories of the 2006 Tour. Most of the Armstrong Tours are clearly worse for me (2003 being the clear exception).

 

[Netserk]

I think it's good to have options that cover different ground of what makes a GT bad. It's less important to me that I get it right with the 9 worst GTs than that I get it right with the 9 options that most would vote for.

So... can we have the Women's U23 thread I made re-opened (if I edit the opening post)?
Since apparently the already existing U23 thread is Men's Only now, and talking about U23 races in the Main Women's racing thread is just wrong.

I agree with RHD there should be different threads for the men and women.

Actually, my main point is that there should be different threads for Elite and U23.
I think having both Men and Women races in the same U23 thread worked perfectly well, but apparently some people disagreed...

@Samu Cuenca, as I recall, you were the one who started the whole mess by posting about the women's l'Avenir in the Main Women's Racing thread.

No, this issue started much earlier with you insisting the WRR thread wasn't a general discussion thread for women's road cycling thread despite everyone else using it as such.

Avenir is the only non-championship U23 race on the calendar so there's no reason to have a separate U23 racing thread.

Maybe I keep insisting that's not what it's for because everyone keep using it as such...
At least people have - mostly - stopped posting about transfer related stuff in that thread.

But here's the question: If the talk about Women's l'Avenir had simply started in the U23 thread, would anyone suddenly have gotten the idea to change the title to inclue "Men", rather than allow it to continue as a mixed-gender thread?
