for now it is most boring GT since tour 2012 pyrenees are gone and nothing happened, what is strong field for when they are not racing Giro was much better
Tour 2011 was meh too. Until the Alps...

It was a quiet Pyrenees GC wise in the 2011 Tour but stage 13 into Lourdes was just simply a great day of racing that made up for the lack of GC action over the 3 stages in the Pyrenees.

Nothing GC-relevant happened on that stage, almost similar to the two MTFs.. at Luz Ardiden and Beille! Completely disagree.
