Perhaps not the most entertaining route GC-wise but I think most of the stages will have some kind of interesting battle happening, atleast for the stage win.

no.

this sums up the deterioration of the giro.

paying big fees for a few riders, castrating the route, and roll over and beg whenever the riders dont feel like riding.

the lion doesnt concern himself with tour riders wanting a warm up with a trophy. make a good race and make it watched by as many as possible. its not done in a year, but a better strategy will have the race rely less on any specific rider.
You never know, maybe pman is Damiano Cunego.

I mean this argument basically argues that the 2004 Giro is better than the 2005 Giro because it's better for people to attempt a Giro-Tour double. And I can't think of anybody other than Cunego or Ale-Jet who would have thought that 2004 was better than 2005...
