Update on the FSA DS

Hi all, as of right now I have no further information about our site, and I am assuming we will be unable to offer the game for 2025. But! If you stop by our Reddit page there is discussion of potential alternatives. I apologize for this mess, I thought we had an understanding about keeping the game going, but I guess not. BTW the game has nothing to do with SBNation, who have been extremely gracious and supportive throughout, including leaving the lights on in the Cafe for now. I really enj...

FSA DS Opening Coming ASAP!

Photo by DIRK WAEM/BELGA MAG/AFP via Getty Images [Update Feb 5] It’s about to happen, I promise! And as suggested in the comment thread, with the site changes taking extra time, we are planning to start the competition with the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, returning to our original format before the UAE Tour elbowed its way in. All due respect, World Tour points are a thing, but the real start of the season for many of us is when they roll out of Gent on March 1. I have never been a fan of Feb...

First things first, as I’ve signaled before, the FSA Directeur Sportif is cued up for another go-round. Not sure about 2026, but 2025 is on. I can’t deprive myself of the chance to price Tadej Pogačar after his megamonster year. Or deprive all of you of the dilemma that price will pose. I could never look Ursula in the eye again if I mis...

Cobbles Are Forever

Photo by Tim de Waele/Corbis via Getty Images A look back at the whole Flanders thing and what it meant to the Café This final* post is appropriately dedicated to, uh, for shorthand let’s call it Belgium and the Classics. Shorthand because it naturally includes France and the Netherlands to a significant degree, not to mention riders from around the globe. To the extent that concerns the thing I wrote about the most, that would be the cobbled classics, though it’s hard not to loop in the ...
