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.

What's going to be better than those two? Lombardia with that course? :eek:
I'd still rate ORR and PR higher but I'm pretty sure some people would have voted Lombardia this year. This thread really was hasty.

I would put Lombardia quite a way above the OGRR (although still not as good as Roubaix).
So what should we do? Make a new thread now or wait for the worlds and possibly make a 3rd thread? :lol: ;)

Both were amazing but I really love cobbled classics for the atmosphere inside.
PR for me.
Looking forward to rewarch while on rollers during winter :)

Lombardia was well raced but predictable in its scenario, no?
 
I rewatched Paris Roubaix again during the week and I still got goosebumps watching the race unfold, with Cance and Sky crashing, Sagan staying up, the chase group hanging in with Saramotins giving his all.

Boonen, Stannard and Hayman attacking over the top of each other was almost just the icing on the cake. It was the best day of racing I've seen in years.

Yeah I agree.
 
Olympics. The best riders in the peloton attacking from far, a non-climber winning a very heavy parcours. One of the best riders of the last decade in a promising attack and unfortunately crashing afterwards. The best didn't win, but it was deserved though.

Even though Roubaix and ORR are top 2, Lombardia should have been included if the poll was made later. Great race with a great winner.
