Laplaz said:I gave a 5. Because of the snow and because of Gerrans and Valverde didnt win.
Shouldn't it be a 3.8 by that logic?Hugo Koblet said:2/10. 1 point for each exciting kilometre of racing.

I'm starting to think that Strade Bianche's lenght is part of why it is so greatice&fire said:+1hrotha said:I see people praising the weather, but what's the point if it didn't translate into any sort of epicness on the road? Are you voting on the scenery and the water drops on the lens?
There is only one thing sillier that rating the weather or the scenery, and that's rating the history. And that is exactly the reason why cr6p races like MSR and LBL are still part of the WT calendar. Add 60kms to Strade Bianche and get rid of the Ardennes.

Nope, Milano Sanremo and Liege Bastogne Liege stay on the calendar. The history is a big part of the romance of a race. Liege has the ability to be exciting, but the right now isn't. That's only something that's been happening over the last 5 years, though. Before then we'd get attacks, somewhere along the line in almost all cases. Same goes for Milano Sanremo. Re add Le Manie and it's a really exciting end to race. And the sprinters/hardmen need a monument.ice&fire said:+1hrotha said:I see people praising the weather, but what's the point if it didn't translate into any sort of epicness on the road?
