I am guessing 98 stands for 1898 and you have time travelled from the past if you consider the usual cycling podium girl attire as scantily clad.
I don't really care what they are wearing tbh. I just find the idea that "getting a kiss from a woman" is a price you win for doing something completely unrelated to that woman hilariously old fashioned. In any case, I wasn't trying to start a podium girl discussion. I just found it funny that something that is so completely unrelated to the racing itself was put in the same post as all those other things about the actual racing that used to be better.

Anyway I have no idea why these were ladies' races in both cases

That's why I wrote usual.

But yes, today's stage would probably have been rideable as designed.
Sure bud. I couldn't care less what people think about me, but when I have looked forward to this stage for weeks and they ruin the stage because "its gonna be very unpleasant", im gonna get mad. This is just not a one-off, its a part of a grander scheme which makes me vomit.

Let's keep the politics out of this and solely focus on raging at climb cancellation and maybe some race discussion

Mmkay, my intent was to just continue the jesting tone of your post. :) (But sure, I vouch for progressive reforms, rider (ie worker) representation, AND high mountain stages).

I just want to return to the mid 00's where riders didnt give a * and went faster than motorbikes, where race organizers had integrity and there were no stupid rider representatives, where podium girls were celebrated and where cycling didnt have these stupid new wave fans that dont know * about the history of our sport and side with these shitty organisations every time they call for cancellings and shortenings.

We need Trump to make our sport great again.
Too right, you can't do anything these days. Back in the day you could regularly buy races, ride around hopped up on meth and so on.

Honestly I wonder why some self-styled hardcore cycling fans don't get their fix watching nutters on youtube push it way past the limit descending on open roads and riding at high speed in heavy traffic.

But apparently, worker representation and high mountain stages in rainy whether is mutually exclusive. Unlucky...

It's a shame the peloton didn't race up the first climb in order to try to ditch Ganna.
Ganna can control way too long for the break to make a serious dent in terms of time gains.
Up to this point, everyone complained about only breakaway guys fighting for stages. And here comes Nibali in the breakaway ;)

I think its what called exaggeration to make a point. Im not a masochist, just a simple man who likes to watch grown men on bikes ride long and hard cycling stages in all kinds of weather as long as its not on icy roads and obvious dangerous. Thats not the case today...
