PTP 2025 has a new home!

[Dogtrousers]

We used to have a Pro Tour Punditry thread on CC organised by Marmion back in the day.

I'll continue to confine my prodigious prediction skills to occasional forays into the Cyclechat Velogames league. I don't want to show you all up.

@TwoToeBenny give me a sign if you’re okay to setup+score MSR men + women this weekend

I must have missed the women’s race part of this!?! New for this season?

I posted up MSR PTP info this morning, but it looks like its been removed... I'm guessing the links or profile pics dont meet site standards...

Mod note:

The first 5 posts by new members are moderated manually by default. It is a second 'firewall' against spammers who may have, somehow, evaded the usual forum software automatic spam checking processes.

Very little spam gets through as a result. Our members are very good at spotting those that do and letting us know.

We are sorry if the process was a little slow for you. These days we have a very small number of Moderators, none of whom are on here full-time. We normally clear most new members within the first day, provided they make 5 posts within that time-frame.

We have been inundated of late, which in itself is welcome, but it has slowed us down somewhat.

Enjoy the site!

I'm in Mallorca riding for the week, so could I please have MvdP for Flanders?
Sorry for posting here, but for some reason the internet and wifi is iffy with this forum so I just wanted to get the pick in. Thx.

Thank you for keeping things going! Finally managed to get log-ins sorted.

Is it just Liege that has a [PTP] women's race in the Ardennes? I'm struggling with this new element of I'm honest as I don't watch a lot of women's cycling

 

[red.rider]

Yes, now it’s just Liege and World Champs left for the women for this pilot season

Women have Amstel and Flèche too

PTP used to mean Pedal to Paris, corrupted to Piddle to Paris. Later P2P

Clearly walked into the wrong room. Very interesting.
Do carry on ....
