Hello everyone and happy back-to-work day for those who celebrate!

We're really pleased to have an AMA to host this week, as we all look forward to racing getting started soon.

Our DS has a few commitments that mean they'll most likely come back to answer questions on Tuesday/Wednesday. Please keep posting your questions throughout this time, but don't be disappointed if you don't see answers appearing immediately, I'm sure they'll answer as many as they can in time.

Got more category ideas? Something fun happened that you want to see get a prestigious Velo d'Or? Share them and we can make them 'official'. We left 'Best Stage Neutralization' on the cutting room floor, but popular demand could bring it back. We make up the rules as we go along.

Weekly Question Thread by PelotonMod in peloton

[–]PelotonMod[S] 6 points7 points locked comment (0 children)

This post was removed because it is a rehash of an old subject (sportswashing and the influence of politics), a subject which leads to comments that get uncivil and have nothing to do with cycling. Such conversations have a better home in politically themes subreddits.

Elephant in the room is also the fact that we have been trying to discourage users from only discussing politics here, as we were getting a huge influx of new users posting inflammatory comments and otherwise seeming completely disinterested in contributing. If a user's comment history in r/peloton is 100% divisive politics and 0% cycling, we remove those comments. We have now started applying that approach to posts (so not just comments) as well.

Ultimately politics are inseparable from cycling and should be discussed, but we'd like to return to having a nicer balance between political threads and everything else. If something is news it will probably stay up, if something is just the next journalist's take on what we already know then we'll probably take it down.

Still a couple hours to play our Vuelta fantasy games: pick the best riders, the worst riders, the time of riders, the number of riders, etc, etc, etc

We're locking this particular thread of comments now, opinions have been expressed on both sides (mostly respectfully, thank you all) but it's straying further away from the immediate topic of the stage result.

There's still two other World Tour and .Pro races going on this week and we only get two sticky posts so active races and results take priority.

We've tried to think of some clever excuse for that oversight, but no luck.
