Best Race of the Year

[PremierAndrew]

Which was better?

 

[MikeTichondrius]

I liked today's race but PR was insanity start to finish. Best one I've ever seen.

 

[MacBAir]

People will have biased opinions. They should re-watch PR.

 

[PremierAndrew]

Have to say, as good as Rio was, PR was even more epic

 

[SeriousSam]

Recency bias will be acute right now.

Voted ORR anyway.

 

[Pantani Attacks]

The Vuelta once MAL smashes everyone.

 

[DFA123]

ORR for me, just because it pitted two different types of riders up against each other and they were battling for three hours. PR was epic, but for quite a long time it was obvious the final 4 or 6 would stay away. Dynamic kept changing today.

 

[Alexandre B.]

What is the primary ingredient to make a great course? Classics riders.

That's why the breakaway stage to Revel was the best one in last Tour.

 

[Vladivar]

ORR because of the depth of different riders involved and it had everything, even a small bit of cobbled echelons

 

[SeriousSam]

Different types of riders competing for the win, unpredictability throughout, big occasion, big names contesting. It's really close to perfect.

 

[Red Rick]

Crash deciding taking out almost certain winner.

Year / Season ain't even over...

Please raname the thread to ''Which of ORR and P-R was the better race?'', or something along those lines.

Yeah, too bad for Henao. That said, the incident just added to the drama of the race, which was great overall.

What's going to be better than those two? Lombardia with that course?

Oh wait nvm, I forgot that incredible worlds course

You don't know. This just seems hasty / a run to see who'd create this thread first / fishing for street cred.

The truth is, there are many more races to come. Not saying they're going to be better or worse. But there can be good races which could also be added to the poll.

 

[Gigs_98]

You forgot to include a "didn't watch" option
Anyway I voted ORR, just because it's the one I watched and it was absolutely superb.

 

[MikeTichondrius]

I do guess this puts to rest the matter of the WCRR versus ORR dilemma though.

Fishing for street cred? On a cycling forum where hardly anyone knows each other in real life?

 

[Pharazon]

pretty damn good advert for Cycling today... probably the most watched race world wide and they get to see a six hour epic...

 

[Valv.Piti]

Very close.

Im confident P-R woulda won if the poll was created right after that race tho.

Because drama is always great amiright?

Just look at the reactions of the riders after the race. They say it all.

It certainly made the race very exciting, don't you agree?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

PR by a solid margin.
