Protournews has closed so we’ve redirected you to RoadCyclingUK

Hi there, protournews has closed so we’ve redirected you to RoadCyclingUK. It’s not about the pro peloton but it is all about road cycling. If you’re new to this site, we hope you like it, join and come back often.

Shame about the closure of Protournews as I found it full of intereting stuff. Cant quite see what the point of redirecting you to Roadcycling is, because its a different animal ,unless of course there are plans to report on protour races in the future, other than the usual three.

I think the problem was that no-one really used the site forum. Maybe the number of hits on the site reflected that and it made better sense to close it down. RCUK does a good job of reporting on racing and wider cycling related matters so it should be ok here.

Fair comment John, but you might like what you find on RCUK and, as James says, there is some pro race coverage even though that is not our raison d'etre.

Add the word PEZ at the front of the URL you just mentioned Vlad., for a lighter look at the world of procycling.

McEwen in front in E3 Prijs. Get on it Tom. Stop reading about the "Austin Clavicle"

Quinziato almost came off, and he was only braking for a little corner!

I have it on favourites.

I don't get out much...

I shall try and find some new ones that are up to your high personal standards Tom. Summer is approaching, after all.

If you could find some near to where you live, that'd be favourite. Then when I come visit I will have people to play with as you settle down to your slippers, cocoa and pipe.

As the Giro will be passing through my lovely city, I am sure there will be plenty of DD-worthy ladies working the race, that I could snap for you Tom.
