I'd love to see favorite recent monument, maybe last 6 years for a 30 strong start close to this time? Maybe experiment with starting at 10 points or 15?

Thank you Ian, I meant to get round to posting that before but I didn't
Thanks also to everyone who played, it proved an interesting exercise in exploring Daily's biases. Also, of how varied opinions can be of races, this list does not correlate at all with my personal ranking, despite feeling that my tastes in good racing are fairly normal Especially the 2015 Giro, which at the time was widely lauded as one of the very best races since the turn of the century coming in a measly 8th.
Monuments sounds like a good idea, I'll put that up.

Ugh, yeah. Just found this thread....
I still can't understand the fascination of the 2011 Tour. The last 2 mountain stages were great, but that was about it. All a waiting game through the Pyrenees. I'd rate it an slightly above GT.
My favourites would have to be the 2010 Giro, 2012 Vuelta and the 2015 Giro. All coming down to the wire, but NOT at the expense of action throughout the first couple of weeks, but rather the opposite! I think that's where generally tend to overrate a certain GT a lot and I dislike it. Frankly, I would much rather know the winner after 2 weeks of good racing that being uncertain after 2 weeks of bad racing. Like 2015 Vuelta, 2012 Giro, 2011 TdF etc.
It would be followed by the 2011 Giro, 2014 Vuelta and the 2013 and 2015 Tour. I know a lot of people would disagree with the two Tours, but I like when a team genuinely takes charges of the peloton and just goes from the bottom of a climb and smashes it. PSM was a monster stage, I enjoyed that super much. Greatest single climb stage i can remember, so much anticipation about the '4 big' and it delivered big time. Same goes for Ax-3-Domaines and Annecy Semnoz. Great riding, absent from passiveness, simply determining who is the strongest rider. Thats how I like it.
I would rate the 2009 Tour, 2012 Tour, 2015 Vuelta and 2012 Giro the lowest. I still can't decide whether 2012 Giro or 2012 Tour was the shittiest tho.. |
