I hear ya. Some other mags were starting to read like one loooong advertisement.

I'll certainly miss RRX. I really looked forward to that mag every month. I'll check out Roadracing World for the remainder of my subscription and maybe subscribe to it in RRX's place.

That sucks. It was one of the 2 decent cycle magazines in the US (that and RRW).

It's a sign of the times though. $6-$7 magazine or free (mostly) info on the web?

Agreed. Sad day... The three magazines I get each month are:

Motorcycle Racer
Road Racer X
Road Racing World

I didn't subscribe to it, but I did always think it was one of the more impressive "rags". Sad to see that it, and other unique paper publications, are going the way of the Dodo. =\
