Quintana and Pozzovivo really strong....I dont know what should I think about Evans...I thought that he would be dropped but in the final he managed to overtake Uran...

Called it! Majka will get this overall. He did not crack today, as it was seen in the last kilometer. He thought that Uran would close the gap, and when he glanced forward again, Pozzo was gone.

still 1'35" behind Uran. still to early to say he won the overall is still pretty early (however 17 seconds each stage would put in him in the pink )

Good to see.
Just because Quintana was 1.5 minut slower doesn't mean he is clean. There are a lot factors which you consider before comparing performances. I believe all athletes are clean until proven different, but I just gotta say, it's more complicated than just comparing the times.
Froome broke records last year on several climbs, but it doesn't mean he is cheating, although it was suspicious.
Anyway no more doping stuff in this thread, unless someone gets caught.
Go Majka, great performance! Pozzo and Quintana looking good aswell. It's gonna be interesting the next couple of days. Nothing has been settled yet.
What a finish.....75 m Gomez is taking it! Wait he just exploded! 15 m Cataldo is the winner of the day! Goal, wtf? Where the hell did Bataglin come from?
Present:
Tinkoff-Saxo - AG2R - Colombian riders
Past:
Francisco Mancebo - Illes balears - Carlos Sastre - Kelme - Robbie McEwen

Tour>Giro>Vuelta in my opinion. Thats very general tho, Vuelta 2012 was some of the best racing i have ever seen, the 2011 Giro was great, as was the 2013 Tour.
2013 Tour was great? It's the worst Tour ever. Never have there been less doubt about the winner or less excitement throughout the race. Every mountain stage was literally a SKY sprint train riding from km 0 to win the stage. Boasson Hagen took the first 2 mountains with ease by himself.

I don't really understand why Pantani is hailed as a hero and great sportsman compared to other dopers. No one talks about Armstrong as a hero - why is Pantani a hero, because he died early?

I liked it alot. I would rather see a team dominating the mountains than just seeing 10 man at the top of the mountain. And btw, as one noted, if you didnt like the 2013, I suppose you would think that 2012 was a lot more boring. I literally only remember one good mountainstage that year (Plance des Belles Filles). Rest of the race was so boring - not cause of the dominance, but because of the fact that simply nothing happened. In 2013, more or less all the mountain stages were packed with action and the favoroties was dueling it out on the finishes and that's the key for me when watching a Grand Tour or cycling ing general - seeing the best head-to-head. That simply didnt happened in some instances the previous years.
But I guess we just got different perspectives on what makes a great race. On top of that, I also loved to see Quintana in the mountains, especially the last stage that we won, but also on the stage to Ax-3-Domaines, Alpe d'Huez and Mont Ventoux, 2 of those stages he even attacked way out.
