I’m sorry for being, as you say two months late on my posting. I did not know there was a time window for postings. |

No, there isn't, but the subject has already been discussed ad nauseum over on the Grand Tours subforum. Hence everyone's amusement at your expense.  |

No don't do that - next time you have some news do share it. Unfortunately, this time you didn't actually have any news - you had in fact missed the boat by a couple of months, hence the derision. |

Proper forum manners require that you at least look around a bit before posting something. Had you done that you would have found other threads discussing the Basso-Discovery event and instead of reporting it as news (which of course it isn't anymore) you would have probably posted your opinion or your prediction about the event and that would have been completely acceptable and proper and hopefully even interesting ... of course you might have gotten blasted anyway, that's the nature of these forums. We don't all "live and breathe pro cycling" but this is a bike racing forum so the word gets around. |

They include: <snip> Before creating a new topic thread, search to see if a similar topic already exists. We're mostly an OK bunch of folks here.
