With Il Lombaria wrapped up, we can now compare the monuments of this year, which lived up to the hype, and which sucked completely? I included the WCRR, because well, it's somewhat comparable and even more prestigious

I'd probably have worlds above LBL, but other than that it would also be my list. Overall it wasn't a great year, the Ronde and Roubaix were disappointing, especially Roubaix, I always have very high expectations when it comes to Roubaix.fauniera said:1. Lombardia
2. Ronde
3. Roubaix
4. Doyenne
5. Worlds
6. San Remo

Volderke said:Ghent Wevelgem was THE absolute best race this year.
NO discussion for those who watched the whole thing starting from approx 130-140K to go.
Unbelievable this one wasn't included. It was a once-in-a-lifetime race regarding the wind, weather and the finale.
I know... but same goes for the wccrfauniera said:Well, it's not a monument.
