Error in Tour de San Luis start list:

6 Adrian Hegyvary (USA) Team Saxo Bank

Nope - rides for UHC as 136 according to this, but is not listed on CN.

Tour of Oman

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/16-teams-named-for-tour-of-oman

Listed as an African stage race, though it is in SW Asia, that's why it's on the Asia Tour.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Yes, that is being corrected.

I think he should be replaced with Troels Vinther

7 Christer Jensen (Nor) Team Saxo Bank

That would be Christopher Juul-Jensen, from Denmark.

Here's a link to the start list:

And this is an article (in Danish) which reveals why I think it should be those guys I have mentioned.

Shouldn't he be using the McLaren bike instead?

Lol. I will correct that. Or have it corrected.

When did Shummy grow hair, that would warrant its own headline, or you listed the wrong name.

Yes, obviously, someone was thinking of Formula One when they wrote the headline.

Although it reminds me of the ad for the men's shampoo with caffiene: "Doping for the hair"!

Ridiculous

Off topic.

The first sentence conveniently leaves out the four (!) Algerian Continental teams, Geofco - Ville d'Alger, Groupement Sportif Petrolier Algérie, Olympique Team Algérie and Velo Club Sovac Algérie...

Either include these, or change it to "registered in Sub-Saharan Africa". Right now, it's plain wrong.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

It has been changed, thank you.

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

Ok, here's another one... I have to admit I skip randomly through an article without reading every word but I can't find any source attributions in the article "McEwen comfortable with changing role at GreenEdge"

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/mcewen-comfortable-with-changing-role-at-greenedge

I read it and just wondered who he spoke to, when, if it was someone on the CN staff, if it's from an interview for another source... Just curious. Just want to know. Please don't get me wrong! It's just curiousity! Not criticism...

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

It's not from another website, don't worry that we stole it.

... I can't find any source attributions in the article "McEwen comfortable with changing role at GreenEdge"... Just curious.... Not criticism...

I guess I'm more curious about your acccess to riders than anything else... Are you at liberty to share about the McEwen piece? I don't mean to imply anything is shady, really It just seems refreshing to know if you have direct access to McEwen I can't imagine there's anything that has to be concealed, I mean, it sounds like a straightforward talk between McEwen and a reporter... Maybe I'm just old school and keep thinking of Time magazine articles and AP pieces that always end with "Wriitten by X and Y with contributions from Z"... I don't mean to imply you're shady... stealing ... I'm just curious whenever source attributions are missing... Maybe I expect too much, but... hey, I like your stories and just want to know.... Let me know about McEwen piece if you can...

"We don't track the hours that an investigator has spent on a particular matter and the way that we view it, if a prosecutor in the justice department is looking into something whether it be a rug trafficking ring or someone engaged or fraud, smuggling or whatever it may be...

Those scoundrels are into everything these days!

Security certificate does not match the site name.

Come on, you just can't use any certificate. Just pony up for a real one.

missing palmares

I note that Mark Cavendish has an extensive list of achievements appended to his name...at the bottom of articles under the line "Related riders".

Unfortunately it appears that riders of the ilk of Boonen, Ullrich, Evans have not received the same attention...surely these and all riders for that matter deserve appropriate recognition of their major sporting results.

 

[online-rider]

I know this is being picky but on the subheading for each race there is link for photos. A few days before the race occurs you click on it and you might get some interesting pre race photos or something, but 90% of the time it just says "Nothing to see here, try coming back later" or something.
Well i find it a real drag to be confronted with this message, just when I want to find out if any photos have been posted yet. So how about making the link unclickable or remove it all together until there is actually something present inside of it. Closely related to this is the "view thumbnail gallery" in some race reports. You go to the trouble of expanding the new page only to find there was only one picture in there anyway any you already saw it.
I dont know much about website design myself, but I dont notice any other sites which have such persistent defects in their design. Maybe its time to hire a more competent web design person?
.. Just my 2 cents, thanks for reading

This most definitely isn't Wout Poels. As can easily be seen by the Polish champion's jersey, it's Tomasz Marczynski.

 

[Susan Westemeyer]

Thank you, I have asked that it be corrected.

Luke Durbridge article: double negatives???

One too many "not"s makes for knotty reading.

While the track program at the London Olympic Games is now off Durbridge's agenda, he does not feel a spot on the Australian road team is not out of reach.

Maybe delete the first (...or second) not.

He gained 3secs at the sprint point not 2secs.

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/100th-career-win-for-boonen-at-paris-nice

Boonen's other victories include a world road race title from 2005, three wins in Paris-Nice, two in Tour of Flanders, two in Gent-Wevelgem, six stages of the Tour de France and one green jersey (2007) and two stages of the Vuelta a España.

if you are mentioning his other wins... perhaps the Paris-Roubaix ones might be considered fairly significant ones.
