In terms of beautiful landscapes.

Between Tour - Vuelta - Giro.

So to clarify, it is not about design of the routes (profiles), but the surroundings?

Vuelta
Giro
Tour

 

[El Pistolero]

Giro, Tour, Suisse, California, Vuelta

 

[marioni]

Landscapes, cities, cities, villages = Tour.

Agreed.

Italy in May is pretty amazing.

 

[the asian]

Giro, Tour,Vuelta for me. I agree with Hrotha though. It's unfair for the Vuelta because it's held in Aug/Sept.

By default, France has, bar none, the most diverse and most beautiful landscapes in western europe. Le Tour rules.

 

[DominicDecoco]

Tour of Turkey.

 

[jsem94]

Tour of Turkey.

This. It was perfect advertising for vacationing in Turkey. Seriously. If I would have had the money at that moment, I would've gone down there.

 

[Descender]

The French are the best at showcasing their country.

Italy is the most beautiful country in the world, but the RAI do not seem especially interested in showing the vast Italian cultural and artistic heritage.

I thought RTVE did a much better job at showing the various castles, city walls, acueducts, monasteries etc. this year than they did in previous years.

One can argue about landscapes, but as a package, In my opinion Italy is much more beautiful, with its many historic cities, its lakes and also the amount of bigger cities of any importance throughout the country.

The French get more time to show their scenery because nothing is happening.

When it comes to beautiful landscape, Arctic Tour of Norway (a new ASO race that starts next year) should be absolutely breathtaking. Not quite a GT, though

As for the GT's, it's clearly TDF > Giro >>>>>>> Vuelta for me. Also helps that the first two are sent in HD here.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Tour de Suisse

 

[Pricey_sky]

The Tour and Giro in HD are stunning, and the landscapes of France and Italy are better than Spain too.

Have they published a route yet?

 

[Carols]

I rate all 3 equal. Beautiful scenery and historic sights in all 3 countries....Tour does the best job of 'selling' the sights though.

Tour of CO gets Bad Marks; I wanted to watch a bike race not a travelogue, sales job on visiting CO.

 

[ebandit]

oh no!

Tour de Suisse

gotta admit it near broke my heart..............knowing that i will never have enough £ to live in such a beautiful enviroment

not like where i live......................no rubbish dumped everywhere..........and not one burned out car!

You go to prison for doing 123km/h on the motorway though.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

The 4th Gt Atoc is the best with it's wonderful tarmac.
