How so? 2023 was a cracking race. You're entitled to your opinion, but I can't reckon how any cycling fan would deem it "rancid." Similarly, 2022 was well raced, had great drama and sympathetic characters, so I'd rate it highly - although I acknowledge the palmares of Hindley are less impressive than most of our other GT winners.Hooray, a fourth rancid Giro in a row (assuming Pogacar isn't there) beckons. As I've said before, for every time the happy few do battle there are three where there's only one of them there and the race is a formality. That tradeoff is not worth it at all.
