DerailedUK "at" the Worlds

According to an e-mail we got sent, the site was down yesterday. We didn't notice because we were too busy not thinking about cycling, but you can rest assured that we won't let the whole situation affect our not-quite-daily update schedule for austere cycling "news".
Anyway, the World Championships are here! Which means the cycling season is almost over! Which means we have to find something interesting to fill the website with for the next five months! Cripes!
Still, let's enjoy it while it's here. Tomorrow (that's Wednesday) is the Women's Elite Time Trial and the Men's U23 Time Trial. That's good, because a whole day of watching time trials is bound to be interesting, right? And apparently grown women are still not as good at sports as little boys either -- the time trial distances being 26km and 40km respectively. Please, Jeannie Longo could beat any one of those kids riding the Men's U23 event, and we all know it.
Nicole Cooke is the big hope for the women's time trial, but we're expecting her to do much more in the road race. So we don't know who'll actually win this one, largely because there's absolutely no coverage of women's racing whatsoever, but we're betting on someone from a Slavic country. You heard it here first.
Tomorrow:
A better, less hastily written update, with actual funny bits and everything.
Next season:
We'll be writing lots more about women's cycling. Yeah!
