Lol at the mock outrage. I could take you seriously if you actually started threads about other 2.2. races but you havent. There are literally loads of races at 2.2 level all year yet only Alsace is worthy of coverage?? I could understand more if it were in a country where it is the main race like the threads about the races in Slovakia or Romania or the BabyGiro which is a huge race but there is no shortage of minor races in France.
For example there was another 2.2 race occuring in Brittany at the same time as Alsace but it didnt have a thread!!! Even in the first post of your Alsace thread, you state the only riders you knew were JTL and Charteau. Hmmm. Paris-Correze was also started by a big JTL fan otherwise it would have gone un-noticed too.
I have no problem with people discussing racing but as you were already aware, there is a sticky thread called 'minor race results' where races like Alsace etc are usually noted or discussed.
90% of the talk in the Racing section is related to fanboyism so I just find the idea of people knocking one particular fanboy over others as unfair.
Final point as nothing to do with this thread.
1. If you also bothered to check you would see i had not posted here for a while. That is because as others know i have been posting on cns sister site. Look here and you would find threads for most 2.2 races this year the majority if whom do not feature jtl.
2. I did not post on the brittany race due to illness mainly. I did post on a race in poland. I chose not to start threads onthose as had recently rejoined the site and did not want to spam it with three new threads at once.
3. I discuss several other riders in the thread. in fact your claim might be valid if i was posting on jtl elsewhere.
4. I know there is a smaller races thread. I post in it. i do not really like it, why should races not have there own thread.
I would not you to know all this but you could ask, or even better just not bother complaining at all. Why would you want to complain about someone who is willing to go to a fair amount of effort sourcing unformation from numerous sites in multiple languages just so people can discuss a different race.
In fact if you look around a few sites i think you will find very few people who have posted more on smaller races from all over the world. There are links in threads that show that.
Guess it is just easier to paint anyone who wants to discuss something different as a crazy fanboy who is usingup valuable threads. Because there is a limited number of them.
