[Closed] Wondering why STW hasn't reported on the World Champs, Val di Sole?

Have they decided not to cover UCI racing news?, certainly last year they covered the world champs, 3 articles, round up of the DH, the race winning runs (got 6500 clicks) and round up of the XC.

Just wondering, like.

No idea but it was one of the best World Champs to watch in recent years imo with a savage amount of crashes!

It's not a DH orientated magazine and they were busy running a bike race of their own at the weekend?

Well they do enough minimal content articles for almost every other event/product , so why not this one?

TBH, if you are bothered about this and follow road cycling, don't go near road.cc. I can't remember the last time they did consistent race coverage as opposed to product placement, discount offers, videos of drivers almost killing cyclists etc.

I stopped going to Road CC anytime theres any road racing on simply because the one thing they do manage to do consistently is put the results of races in the titles of articles on the front page. Kind of spoils the viewing.

Stato I do get it but surely most of us who care watch on Red Bull and/or follow the riders / teams directly on Facebook etc ?

and on cue 2 articles about DH. One a brief summary of the champs, the other a BC press release about the british series. Does make you wonder if they are just there as clickbait for their FB and twitter pages.

I assume that Mark etc know exactly how many clicks each article obtains and that they focus their efforts accordingly.
