"Stage 9 will likely go down in history as one of the most dramatic days in recent memory as Dutchman Johnny Hoogerland (Vacansoleil-DCM) was launched onto a barbed-wire fence after being hit by a French television car..."

He wasn't hit by a car. Flecha was.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

The 2008 Olympic champion had just won on the world circuit in the 2010-2011 season, the Keirin in the Cali World Cup, but she was first in the minds of our readers, taking 20% of the vote - 4323 entries - over triple world champion Anna Meares.

Should read just one win on

In the Accent-Willems Verendas article, the picture caption says "Willems Verandas leads the break of the day" or some such caption. The picture is of Topsport Vlaanderen.

So instead of lining up for the US National Race Calendar Redlands Bicycle Classic in California this coming March, the Chipotle boys will toe the line at Paris-Tours.

I suppose that should say Paris-Troyes.

Are pictures still inevitably attached to their original caption, no matter where they're used? Because that's a silly system.

I haven't read the whole thread, but... here's something I find slightly annoying... which would take some work to fix, but...

Any time there's a reference to a rider and you don't have a picture directly related to the article or the event or the race, inevitably, a picture is chosen from another time, place or race...

For example, todays'article on Vino (http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/vinokourov-set-for-lead-role-at-tour-de-langkawi) Vino appears in a Dauphine photo.

I'd just like a caption any time that happens saying something to the effect that the photo was from Stage X of the 20XX Dauphine. Something that if you wanted to see more photos from that day or read the story from that particular day, you could chase it down, because you knew where the photo came from.

As it stands the caption for the article photo reads "Vinokourov is set to ride in Malaysia in February". I just wish you could also say something like (Original photo from Stage X of the 20XX Criterium du Dauphine). It just would make me happy!

Article Sources

I may have the wrong thread here, but just to figure this out...

Today there was an article called "Petacchi focused on Tour de France green jersey in 2012". I've always wondered where the information in such articles come from.

I don't see any reference to where the info came from... Did CN do an interview with Petacchi? Did another website publish it first? Was it an interview that happened on TV? Radio? Another media? I'd just like to know and since I don't see the information attributed to any source, I wonder where it came from. Is it common and acceptable not to quote sources? Just wondering and just curious.

Perhaps you didn't read the story as well as you might have? The third paragraph of that story is:

We have the rider who finished second in the Giro in 2011 and so the team should be all for him,” Petacchi told Gazzetta dello Sport. “If I skip the Giro, I can do the Tour of Belgium. Then I will do Suisse in order to get to the Tour in peak condition, the kind I normally had in Italy. The aim is to win the green jersey again.” (bold added)

It also links directly to the Gazzetta story.

The third paragraph of that story is:... Petacchi told Gazzetta dello Sport.

Oops... I didn't read it through... Guess I expected to see it attributed at the end of the article or something... sorry...

2008 winner Stijn Devolder, who finished third in 2011, will be there for Vacansoleil.

It was Lieuwe Westra, listed as his "support" but probably the de facto team leader given Devolder's recent history, who finished third last year.

And in the same article, Murilo Fischer is definitely not portuguese

Charteau was the 2010 KOM winner at the Tour, not 2011.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/petacchi-to-start-2012-at-tour-down-under

In 2003, Petacchi won six stages in the Giro (not the Tour as stated) and four stages in the Tour (not the Giro as stated).

 

[RedheadDane]

Maybe not a mistake as such. But I think it's a little odd that all the team describtions in the Riders & Teams section clearly leads up to the 2011 season.
Especially regarding Movistar and Tondo...

 

[manolo]

Perhaps you didn't read the story as well as you might have?... Susan

Ok, I have to admit I skip through an article without reading every word

On this article (http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/cancellaras-2012-preparation-will-be-the-same) It says "Cancellara told Cyclingnews. “Last year, the only thing missing was a bit of luck, but it’s just that luck is what counts.”"

I'm being picky here, but... I'd love to know, for example, when the interview happened, who got the interview done, if it was in person, over the phone, did you call him at home, did you see him at an event?... Just curious! I apologize for being so picky! Just curious. You guys do have a great job!

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/amstel-gold-race-wildcards-announced

Unlike in 2011, there is no wildcard birth for teams from outside the Benelux. While this year’s invitees were also all present at last season’s Amstel Gold Race, the organisers assigned six wildcards. Cofidis and Farnese Vini-Selle Italia are thus the teams to miss out on this occasion. The 18 WorldTour teams are automatically invited to the race.

There will be 6 wildcards again this year, the final two just haven't been handed out yet...

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/saxo-bank-denies-garzelli-signing

isnt this article factually inaccurate, as I understand it Boaro is in the second year of his neo-pro contract, and presumably Juul Jenson is a neo-pro.

if whatever reason these riders don't qualify as neo-pros the article should state why.

Oman is not in Africa. At least as far as I am aware of.
