This is why, as i have said in the past, racing news, results, reports etc needs to be the responsibility of CI not merely an interested third party that can come and go.

Hope they are back on air soon, this is the busiest weekend of the year with 3 stage races happening (should have been 4).

Till then, keep all updates, reports, photos etc. coming thru.

I can get onto it fine, but i've been reading on Facebook that it's down for other people too.

Yeah I seen it alright, to be honest they should be happy that they're getting some much traffic at least it shows there's healthy demand for their content, which is excellent at that, which in turn should make them more lucrative for advertising etc.

Fair enough C.I should be on top of the results, but I suppose on the continent where racing is more popular you can still get results from the private media as well as the national cycling bodies

refresh maybe, or clear cache - its seems to be down alright. Terrible timing :mad:

Maybe the IrishCyclingNews will pick up the mantle in the short term?

No problem getting on for me

I really don't see what demand there is for instantaneous domestic racing results. It's not like soccer, rugby, GAA etc where teams have dedicated followings. I can't imagine many people are keenly awaiting these results every Saturday or Sunday evening. The people who are most interested will typically find out directly how their friends/family have got on (or via the likes of Facebook)

I think this is just short term. There are plenty of great outlets for news and results like Facebook and twitter. In fact I've been using twitter for most of my cycling news now, sticky bottle are up and tweeting too.

Coming through to where? I sometimes feel like I'm in a news room, stop the presses!

Must you make this point every weekend? If you're that unhappy about it, ring the organisers! ffs! :rolleyes:

Currently there's x amount of riders in Gorey, Conemara and Munster, their support teams, their families, their friends, their clubmates, and non-related followers all hitting Sticky Bottle to see if there's a GC sheet available. No surprise they're having capacity issues. I'm still awaiting a GC sheet here in Gorey, and I'm not blaming CI for that.

tbh, I don't care that much at the moment. I'll go ride the TT as hard as I can, then get the GC at the start of the next stage. And if I'm in the race and don't care that much, I don't see how you're obsessing over it to the point where you need to post every weekend about it.
