For me , it was a wasted effort , since there was no way to follow the action . Being fair to Brian Cookson , he actually " retweeted " some of the questions posed . So far , i can find few of the answers to some of the questions " posed " , that deserve to be answered ! WHO cares whether he rides a " Compact Chain ring "?
THere are the likes of @Inrng or @Velonews that could have served as " moderators " , in am sure they would have vetted the likes of evilcycling , perhaps even LA ?
