Unlike say the Tour de France for which it would be embarrassing to attempt to excuse dominance with the poorness of the competition, for Castilla Y Leon it's actually true.

It's become such a dreadful race it's a wonder sponsors are even putting money into it.

The organisers need to step up their game or it'll soon be gone.

I bet they couldn't believe their luck when Valverde changed his plans and signed up for it; that'll keep the sponsors happy for a couple more years. Imagine how poor it would have been without him... possibly even bad enough for Betancur to win.

Yep, and Aussies don't dope...except for all of the Aussies who win major pro competitions against a whole lot of non-Aussies, who we all know are doping as much as they can get away with.

But, nah! Aussies don't dope - especially 37yr old domestiques, who beat the best in the world.

Who on earth would suggest that Aussies don't dope? Seriously???

1. Hayman PR
2. Rosa Basque Country
3. Stuyven KBK
4. Contador Arrate
5. Cance E3
6. Sagan RVV

Something like that. Not a particular order, but something like that.


Thomas Geriant Paris-Nice?
Right. Forgot about that. That's ahead of KBK for sure. That final stage was one of the racing days of the season, can't believe I forgot about that.

Just wait for Landa at the Giro, it will a homage to the pre-health check days.
Giro is going to be epic this year. A super-charged Landa against a well prepared Nibali and Valverde, with Zakarin somewhere in the mix as well. And no dominant rider like Froome or Contador who will control the race.

You're being pessimistic. If you were optimistic, you'd see that Landa's gonna win every mountain stage with at least 2 minutes of advantage to Nibali and Valverde. :D

That big pleb of a human G Thomas matching Contador like he was the Chicken
You must've seen a different race. What I saw was Thomas getting dropped like a stone on the climb and only just managing to make contact on the descent.

Interesting look at Hyman's power data. He didn't won no lottery, he was a beast. Add his age, training in the garage, good ol' Rabo years and it looks higly suspicious.

Now that is very interesting.
Clever use of the English language.
