In the report from the Ljubljana - Zagreb race, http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/ljubljana-zagreb-1-2/results , the title is "Mugerli best in Zagreb". However, the finish this year (as it alternates between cities) was in Ljubljana and the start in Zagreb.

In the Tour de Slovakie report on st. 4, http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/54th-tour-de-slovaquie-2-2/stage-4/results , the subtitle is "Slovakian takes over race lead" when in fact, Robert Vrecer, who is Slovenian, took over the race lead.

:p

Also Thor Hushovd has won at least one stage individually in each of the three Grand Tours. Source: Wikipedia.
In claiming stage 12 of the 2010 Tour of Spain in Lleida, Mark Cavendish has joined Simon Gerrans, Alessandro Petacchi, Pablo Lastras, David Zabriskie, Denis Menchov and Daniele Bennati in the circle of the current professional riders who have won at least one stage individually in each of the three Grand Tours.

From the ToB report Johhny Bellis is listed as being 24... isn't he from 1988? You do the math...

While the picture was starting to unfold at the front of the race, the hopes of Jonny Bellis came to end, for this Tour of Britain, when he packed after 54 miles. Despite the huge cheers of encouragement from the large crowds who had turned out to watch Bellis the pace proved too much for the 24-year-old Manxman who was in a critical condition in Italy less than a year ago following a scooter accident.

CastleSprint cares, and CN cares. The changes have been made.

If you don't care, don't comment and insult others.

Thanks.

Susan

Late but from the heart - thank you! :)

Slovakian cycling fans as well as us Slovenians know that our countries' names can get confuzzling. :D I think it's safe to say nobody minds the occasional mixup and that we're happy to send an email or post in a forum to help clarify things. We're happy to, and even happier with a response like yours, Susan. Thank you again and thanks to CN for being the best source of cycling info. :)
