Created in July 2014, Spokenforks is an independent website dedicated to WorldTour cycling and the British domestic scene; race previews, live coverage, rider profiles and interviews. As well as the official website, Spokenforks also provides live commentary via Twitter during major events, with all content being created, edited and promoted by myself. The first grand tour to be covered was 2014's Vuelta a España, a successful debut which concluded with both a win rate and place race in excess of 50%. Reporting upon David Millar's farewell ride at the Bec CC Hill Climb was a highlight of Spokenforks' debut season, the article itself going on to receive positive feedback from both Millar's family and race organisers. Debut coverage of the Spring Classics campaign saw correct predictions in races such as Liége-Bastogne-Liége, E3 Harelbeke and Strade-Bianche to name a brief selection. Despite only being the second grand tour to be covered by Spokenforks, 2015's Giro d'Italia proved to be another successful experience, securing several correct stage winners and consistent forecasting which never saw a prediction fall outside the day's top ten during the entire three weeks.
