already knew the results so no prob to me but spoiler in individual posts is stupid. a new thread with spoiler as title should have been made

Why? What's the point in starting a whole new thread when this one isn't exactly buzzing with activity in the first place? Putting "SPOILER" in that one post was because (can't believe I am having to spell this out again) there may have been people who hadn't yet seen the results and didn't want to know them but wanted to know when the broadcasts were on. Given that many of the previous broadcasts have been scheduled as Melbourne but ended up as Manchester, there may be people who wanted to check the recent replies just to make sure it had gone out. So I put "SPOILER" around some results discussion just in case. If you already knew the results then you can read the discussion and ignore the spoiler warnings.

What is stupid about that?

buddy buddy stick together.

Yeah, good point. Dave5N and I never disagree about anything.

pointing out that spoiler in a post is stupid isnt abusing anyone thank u very much. though i see that u calling me unastute is perfectly ok.

Calling someone unastute is criticism, not abuse. Calling me an idiot (which is what you did) is abuse, not criticism. Not that it bothers me (nor is it inaccurate - I've known I'm an idiot since a very young age), but that's what Rich was talking about.

The racing at the third round of the World Cup in the Colombian city of Cali starts today. It's been hard to track down a list of riders taking part, but the official website says that Team GB are in attendance and even claims that Chris Hoy and Mark Cavendish will be there, although it also says that Cavendish was a member of the world record-breaking pursuit team, so who knows.

It appears there will be television coverage starting on Saturday thanks to British Eurosport and British Eurosport 2:

Sat 12 Dec: 2300-0030 - Cycling World Cup (British Eurosport 2)
Sun 13 Dec: 1200-1400 - Cycling World Cup (British Eurosport 2)
Sun 13 Dec: 1800-2000 - Cycling World Cup (British Eurosport)
Mon 14 Dec: 1200-1400 - Cycling World Cup (British Eurosport)

Those are all two-hour broadcasts except the one on Saturday which is 90 minutes, although it doesn't seem to be live.
