Belgium-2.HC versus Bayern-2.HC

[WindLessBreeze]

I ask the CN pundits, which is the better of the two!

Usually Belgium by far. But who knows what can happen. So far this year Ronde von Belgie had two sprints while Bayern had one and now Rogers won the stage meaning something had to happen for him to win as he doesn't usually, so so far Bayern is winning this year

 

[Fetisoff]

So far this year.

Field - Belgium
Racing - Bayern
Tarmac - Bayern

 

[Echoes]

TB: created in 1908. 6 Elite World Champions past & present among starters

BR: created in 1989. 3 Elite World Champions past & present among starters.


Case closed.

Bayernrundfahrt is pathetic, a joke, a fraud, whatever you want to here. It's sad to say, but that's the way it is.
It's a very good organised race, no doubt. The atmosphere is great too.
But they have failed to include one meaningful stage in the last 20 years or something. Every year it's the same crap route.
What's even more pathetic though is the fact how they promote this route. A 4km 5% climb somehwere in the beginning of the stage and they call it a queen stage
Bayernrundfahrt is great race for people who don't know anything about cycling. IT#s a good advertisment product so to say and a family event. But for people who knoa and like competitive cyling, it's one big joke.

Well so far this year it created more selection in peleton than Belgie

Actually that's the problem of this race. They are almost only using big roads. They are afraid of using smaller roads. That's why the route is so crapy.

Belgium is better, simply because Bayern does an absolutely woeful job of utilising the potential of its terrain and is almost invariably "win the TT, win the race".
