The sad implosion of Cyclingtips :( (new title to reflect the max exodus)

101

And now Johnny Long announces he has wuit, as well….flat out says he is quitting because of the managerial nonsense.

I’ve been in jobs like this. It starts to become a cascade of people that are leaving. The more that go, the more likely that others will go as well.

It’ll be interesting to see where CT is in 6 months

When James goes, I delete my link and forget they exist. He’s the sole reason I remain.

I’ve already done the first part. But I’ve searched for and re-read several of James’ reviews since then. Agreed, he’s the last of them. I hope he leaves so that I can read his work regularly again.

Edit: forgot Ronan!

He’s got a family to support. Not an easy decision.

Yup…and the process is in full swing now.

James just confirmed that Kit Nocholson has also resigned.

Man, I feel for Abbey, James and Shoddy…gotta be brutal for those that still remain.

On the last Podcast you could tell Johnny was either looking to quit or looking to be let go as well. Didn’t sound like he was very happy. Understandably.

I still enjoy their coverage of women’s cycling. However if that’s all that is left, I will have a hard time continuing my VeloClub membership, and visiting the site.

I think Jose had commented earlier that her contract was up at the end of this year anyway.

Already done. Outside doesn’t get my eyeballs.

Can we rename this topic “Cyclingtips Implosion” or something similar?

I guess the question is how much funding Caley can line up to get a 2.0 up and running with the same team.

I’ve been wondering this. I really hope they get something going for the 2023 season, and it being something I can contribute to.

deleted.

It’s honestly sad to watch it all die.

I’m wondering what’s going on with Wade. He asked everyone to follow his Substack, but then nothing.

115

I think it’s just Ronan and Shoddy Dave holding down the fort now.

116

Abbey left too?

117

I wonder if he has to sort out any non-compete clause issues? Or just kind of get a roadmap put together on how to move forward?

Really sad to see the floodgates open. They had such a great thing going

I would be pretty surprised if he doesn’t have a non-compete….bigger question is for how long?

119

How does something like that work, could he be a silent partner and put a new site up under Caley’s name or something?

Not yet, but she posted on the VC slack that she feels like she’s on a sinking ship.
