    I am not having a complaint about the route but I think it just came out at the wrong time we had the challenge where first route to get a article and it was Germany we knew which one would win so I just think it came out at the wrong time

    Whilst i agree it is a little unfair to do this in the community challenge, keeping release schedules and other things along those lines I would imagine takes priority.

    Do bear in mind that there are a lot more English routes as well , so another German route was probably fair

    8 (1 Upcoming) - German
    8 (3 Upcoming) - UK
    4 (2 Upcoming) - USA
    1 (0 Upcoming) (each) France, Switzerland & Canada
    I wouldn't quite say there is that big of a difference here.

    All I know is that there needs to be way more American content. DTG only has one planned, plus Cane Creek from Skyhook, but this still leaves the US far behind in the number of routes.

    So it is the community challenge that is happening at the wrong time not the release of Humbug Lubeck. It would have been much fairer if they had it just after a route from a country you want to win was released, at which point Germany would still have won anyway because the German routes are always the most popular across the board. If Germany can win with a much maligned route release then they can win against anything any time. It’s just a bit of fun anyway.

    The real question is, when will we see the new route. I’m looking forward to all three so can’t wait to see them.

    I feel like this photo sums up this perfectly.

    Please don’t turn this forum into the rest of the internet with memes. I can feel another suggestion thread coming :D

    The things that forum folk can come up with to complain about never ceases to amaze (amuse? disgust?) me.
