Love that this is on Hacker News! INRNG has some of the best commentary about professional cycling online, as well as book reviews and travel pieces around famous climbs and races. If you are a fan of professional cycling, it’s a must-read.
I’m building a non profit cycling website, perhaps you are interested: <a href="https://cyclohub.cc" rel="nofollow">https://cyclohub.cc
It is still in the early stages. i want to gather news from across all channels and make a place for cycling fans, without all the ads.

I like the concept of pooling news together with the rankings. Everything is in dutch so I cannot comment on the content, but I think it is a good idea.
However, what I think is missing in online cycling is something better than pcs for live races. At the moment, there is no central place when you can follow all races (not only WT) understanding what is currently happening. At most you get a feeling of the groups there are and the distances, but even that is many times not accurate (e.g. in PCS they say "peloton" when it is a group of 30 people).
Of course, doing this is not easy and time consuming...
hey I am building this! check it out and let me know what you think. Still in the early days and lots to improve on, but we are trying to improve the experience for cycling fans!
What I'd really like to see is a spoiler-free mode.
I can watch a race on catch-up, but if I'm doing that then I can't open PCS to check profiles or standings/time-gaps until I'm fully caught up
On top of that, when catching up it's great to have an indication of _when_ to start watching a race. For that I've been using the info provided on the HowFarOut[1] Twitter account.
We are looking at ways to indicate ahead of time when you should start watching (and sign up for push notifications) as well as ways to do this based on what is happening in the race (crosswinds alarm!)
