I agree that naming this forum something different to reflect it as a place for fans of racing would be great. I think expansion beyong Grand Tours even... to include National Championships, Spring Classics, you know... all the races people discuss here.

I think the subforum of Road Cycling is a magnet for discussions of tactics for racers, which is good. However, to mix that with an area for fans of racing wouldn't necessarily add any value.

I don't think we need to mix discussions of best training wheels and how to train for a criterium to the discussions about results and expectations of stages in major professional races... but I think we should set the example for the world (or at least the US) and show that professional racing is about more than one race for us spectators.
