Anyone else having the same problem? As of this morning, if I try to access https://www.cyclingnews.com/, I just get a blank screen and the hourglass doesn't disappear from the browser tab. Both my PC at home using my home Internet connection and my phone using the phone network show the same problem. I can ping www.cyclingnews.com, so the server appears to be running, but the website doesn't respond.

I could access it yesterday no problem.

I've been having the same problem across personal and work devices and multiple networks since yesterday. They're still posting content going by their Facebook updates.
Nice bike... you ever take it off any sweet jumps?

If I had to guess, their database/backend server is not working right..

The front end web server is online but can't serve anything up.. IIS could be zombie too.

Looks to be a routing related issue then.. Using VPN from France.. It works... Usa and Australia it doesn't..

The problem is most probably related to the recent victories of Cavendish; even the servers couldn't handle it!
