I thought Ed Pickering had taken over as editor at Procycling, but surely only Frenchie could be responsible for this cover :P (or sue for unauthorised usage of "True Champion")
I reckon Eurosport read this forum, they now have a post race analysis. That was mentioned here before they started doing it ;-)
I regularly hear Eurosport commentators say things that have been put on here just before, pretty much word for word. I wouldn't be surprised if they scan cycling related social media for ideas when commenting on hours of live, and often boring, racing.
Re : reading forums. There are just trends out there and you shouldn't be surprised they make their way into the media. Doesn't mean they come from here, or anywhere else really.

Yeah, no offence guys but I don't think our cycling commentary is really all that special...
We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

However, there's plenty of professional cycling media that is of the same standard. Cycling News is basically a cut and paste job. When a decent journalist (eg Freibe) writes for them it sticks out like a sore thumb.

CN cited Andy Tennant as the current IP World Champion t'other day. A surprise to all including Stefan Kung.

Oi!
Cycling journos defo visit here *waves*
interesting
When we met the CP boys at Richard's book launch last year, Richard greeted me with a familiarity that was so genuine I nearly said "have we met somewhere before"
Maybe that's the skill of a good print journo though..? Immediately disarming the interviewee..

Possibly.
Freibe and Moore follow me and vice versa on Twitter. I'd imagine they use that, forums etc to get a feel for what regular fans are thinking outside of the team bubbles.
Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

You know I have been convinced for a good couple of years that the cyclingnews and other sites look at this forum and get ideas etc.

NEW Cross
Track/Grass Track/Winter bike
First thing I thought was "Frenchie won't like this cover"

Would be great if they did a Bernabino's trousers section on Eurosport.
Or adopted some of the forum nicknames like Señor Hairplugs. They'd probably baulk at Ladygarden, though.
Specialized Tricross Sport
