Vetplant Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 ASO needs to be taken to task, possibly by the cyclists themselves with some sort of protest. A lekker public protest on the biggest stage, TDF. Imagine a whole day of riding on a random flat stage and the whole Peloton pulls up and stops 50m from the finish line and just stand there, chatting, holding up some placards..... The coverage would be insane!

geomark Posted May 17, 2019 Posted May 17, 2019 You heard about Flèche and LBL taken off the Women’s WorldTour as ASO refused to broadcast it? ⚠️Saw Orla Chennaoui's tweets on it, its just bizarre and anachronistic isn't it, its like the world has passed ASO by.

Frosty Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Heard on The Cycling Podcast that the ToC is not taking place next year, leaving riders like Sagan having a possible appearance at the Giro. https://thecyclingpodcast.com/podcast/ellingworth-takes-the-wheel-at-mclaren In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe review some of the biggest stories from the past week in professional cycling. After 14 years, the Tour of California – the biggest stage race in the USA – is taking a hiatus. What does this mean for racing in America – and does Peter Stetina’s decision to quit the World Tour in favour of gravel events such as Dirty Kanza suggest the sport is heading in a different direction? Richard reports back on his trip to McLaren HQ in Woking, where he met Bahrain-Merida’s new boss Rod Ellingworth and asks him about signing Mark Cavendish and reluctantly seeing world time trial champion Rohan Dennis leave. We also discuss Filippo Ganna’s world record-breaking four-kilometre individual pursuit ride in Minsk. And as the medical hearing into the conduct of Dr Richard Freeman – former doctor for both Team Sky and British Cycling resumes – we discuss the implications of Dr Freeman’s admission that he’d lied about the delivery of testosterone to British Cycling HQ. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.

He probably had a headsup about ToC. It is sad to see it off the calendar next year I enjoyed that race..
