The 2011 Tour is one of those races that is memorable for certain reasons, but wasn't a great race. I'd put the 2015 Tour in that category as well. There are a few others that fit as well. I did skip a day that I didn't hurt it that I could have.
Or Voeckler?
I demand that we do this all over now.
And that you can only vote if you have an even number of characters in your username (including spaces) and don't have an alliterative username.
Edit: No scrap that, that would hurt my friend, Greg. You can only vote if you only have lowercase letters!
That sounds like a fun one.I have an idea for a new game after this one has concluded. The GT's of 2010's again, but we heal and hurt "the best/strongest worst/weakest GC winner" of that decade. Because I think this can play out quite differently than this current game. For example, imo the 2014 Tour wasn't a great race, but Nibali was one of the best GT winning performances.
Okay, Contador 2011 Giro will probably win, but I'm intrigued by the idea of this vote.
Given that the Tour has the strongest competition, there should be at least seven Tour winners remaining when fifteen are left. But there isn't a lot of love for the Tour, so Aru might still outlast Evans
P.S. Winner on the road, not in the clinic.

The thread would probably inevitably devolve into Clinic matters, so it might be better to put it there - although it would probably then be pretty civilised, a bit like the Fantasy Doping Draft, which was a lot of fun and relatively good-humoured considering it could have been an absolute bloodbath in the Clinic.I have an idea for a new game after this one has concluded.

And what does this single skip make you? Koronin The King Of Kindness?
