  Who will they blame for that now Cookson's gone?

  It's kicking off. Not a Brit to be seen.

  Dumoulin has said he wants to be triple-world champ today. I just think that is selfish

  Shame. INRNG makes the claim one of the reasons of Cookson's downfall was the fact he filled a lot of the top jobs with Brits. I think the biggest reason was Makarov switching allegiance, he seems to be the main powerbroker. Also promising the Worlds to Africa.

  There is a sense that Cookson was a useful tool to oust McQuaid, and decent PR for the organisation after a toxic decade or more, and now they want things back to the way they were.

  So Lappartient wants to

  REGROUP OUR 4 CYCLING OLYMPIC DISCIPLINES FOR A SINGLE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP EVERY 4 YEARS

  On the surface that sounds ace, but it does mean waiting four years for a Worlds rather than having one every year, and a single rider wearing the rainbow hoops for four years who isn't Sagan. I like the idea the hoops mostly are handed over every year.

  Also the Olympics miss out a shit load of the best track events, which is why the World Track Champs are much better that the track at the Olympics. Ditto MTB; no downhill or 4x at the Olympics. Downhill at the very least should be an Olympic sport and a World Champs should certainly include it.

  And off the top of my head trials riding, BMX and MTB dirt-jumping, freeriding, would love to see this all included in some massive festival of cycling. Ooh I got myself excited.

  But if he wants to just offer up the Olympic disciplines then I'd rather it all stay as it is.

  Oh sweet irony.

  I think 'anecdotally' and 'from my experience' are completely interchangeable. As in they mean the same thing, a nice little story told from someone's own experience.

  I'm not disagreeing. If you want to eliminate it you need to rip it out roots and all, so the shady mechanics and teams encouraging/tolerating it happening.
