It's the nostalmagia effect. Very common among sport fans.Interesting to note that all 5 Contador victories from this decade are not only surviving, but thriving; holding down 5 of the top 10 spots.
Except for the part that all his 5 GT wins were legit exciting and dramatic races.It's the nostalmagia effect. Very common among sport fans.

If this were about 2000-2019 and the 2009 Tour finished Sky high then I think there's a big argument.

2012 Vuelta was unexciting and undramatic until Fuente De. It was basically Purito and Valverde outsprinting themselves and Contador on muritos for 2 weeks and Degenkolb winning every stage in between. Not even the long ITT produced meaningful gaps.
But then Fuente De happened and all of that was suddenly forgotten.
