[Dazed and Confused]

Tour of Hainan without a doubt.

ah yes, the boss.

 

[jsem94]

Tirreno for me.

 

[Afrank]

Vuelta by far, Sure there's an excess of uphill finishes in it, but it does well for GC action. Plus the sub-par sprinters field meant we got some great action across numerous sprint stages. And the race and results didn't go as expected and it all came down to the wire on Angilru.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

I would never have expected it to be the case, but Eneco tour was by far the most intriguing. If I had to vote for one that is on the list, it would be the Vuelta, but I don't, so I won't.

 

[roundabout]

anyone who votes Vuelta may ruin the Giro for the rest of us.

Please think before you vote.

Thank you.

Agree, Eneco was very good this year.
Oman might have been great too, but to me the race gotta be live to get on the list.

 

[Ferminal]

Pretty tough between Tour/Vuelta not that either were spectacular.

Thank you.

It's k, I gave the Giro my vote in 2011...

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

I liked the intrigues going into the giro, but when we were there, There was no dout who were the strongest, so it got a bit boring. Going for Tirreno, followed closely by the Vuelta.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Good job Fermi giro 11 was epic

 

[the asian]

Definitely Tirreno Adriatico.

The Giro could have been great if not for the cancelled stages.

Couldn't watch the Vuelta except the Angliru stage, so can't form an opinion.

 

[Pippo_San]

Tirreno Adriatico was the **** this year. A great Italian spring gotta say, one of the finest.

 

[GP Blanco]

Vuelta because of the Horner-Nibali duel. Also the Martin ride was quite spectacular.

 

[darwin553]

Giro only because it was the one performance of the year that Cadel could look back with some pride.

 

[MartinGT]

Tirreno Adriatico for me. Watched Stage 4, 5 & 6 again this weekend

 

[Netserk]

Yeah also T-A for me. Some good stages

 

[manafana]

i like the vuelta route what can i say a last chance salon of uphill finishing

 

[Kwibus]

It's all been said allready, but T-A, Vuelta, Eneco and Oman were really good this year.

I voted for T-A.

 

[Echoes]

Answer objectively is the Three Days of De Panne. No question about it...

Or else the Low Countries (but the artificiality of that race makes it a crap race, whatever racers are doing on it)...

 

[Eshnar]

The best stage raceof 2013 is...Tirreno-Adriatico!
Thanks to all for voting!
