- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
- We never compare oranges to apples. It's always apples to oranges. Order is important. Not sure why. :)Sweep19-11-2024

- Hayman's logic makes absolutely no sense to me. You don't lose more UCI points by trying to win and ending up 3rd than you if you just went for placing third.Sweep19-11-2024

ScottG19-11-2024 - It will be just a waste of time to finish out of the podium. Giro Vuelta makes a better choiceabstractengineer19-11-2024
- I would agree, top 3 with Remco improving and snapping at his heels. I just wish he wouldn't keep crashing in the TDF.Pedalmasher19-11-2024
- Backstedt and Schreiber are not juniors they are under 23. There were I think about 7 or 8 juniors in this race. Under the current rules a race that has juniors in can't go over 45 minutes. The winning time was 43.53 so the timing was correct. The organisers are in the wrong because they should be putting on a juniors race and then we wouldn't be in this situation as the timings for the elite race would be 50 minutes, not 45.NorrisHippocampe19-11-2024
