Talk:2009 national road cycling championships

Teams?
I thought it might be helpful information to include another column to indicate the national champion's current team. Does anyone have any objections to this? Here is an example: Malo0178 (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2009 (UTC)


 * That gives the team as much emphasis as the rider which is certainly too much for a national title with limited team support. How about:


 * As further thought, it would provide maximum browsing benefit to provide sortable columns. Without team names we would achieve this with something like this (using (sortname):


 * This doesn't work with team name in the same field. So, to add an extra sortable field for team names, but not to overemphasise it:


 * I'm not overly struck with that design though. All I think is we shouldn't overemphasise team and we should make the tables sortable. SeveroTC 23:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That sounds reasonable. I've never dealt with sortable fields, so I may not tackle that immediately, but I think for now I'll use your first example. Malo0178 (talk) 12:48, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I totally disagree with the new design, it's a great confusion. The previous design was way better. LegendK (talk) 16:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Canadian Results
Guillaume Boivin won overall, but was classified as U23 (Canada runs U23 and elite together). Cycling news (http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/2009-national-champions) reports Aaron Fillion (the top placed elite) as the Canadian champion, but the Canadian cycling association (http://www.canadian-cycling.com/cca/media/news/2009/0628_guillaume.shtml) reports Boivin. I'm inclined to go with the Canadians themselves. It would suck to win the race but not be the National Champion because you were too young.Malo0178 (talk) 03:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The more I read both sources, the less sure I am either way. It's really not very clear.Malo0178 (talk) 03:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm confused. I don't like the way on the Canadian cycling association website it talks differently about the "national champion" and "men's elite national champion"... SeveroTC 23:28, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
