4. Great winner but apart from that the race was very dull.

 

[Red Rick]

Didn't expect much, looked really promising when Aru and Martin where doing damage, but in the end all the big guns waited. Big points for Gerrans missing out on gold. I think i'd rather have seen Valverde win.

It looks like Nibali enjoys getting his *** kicked on those short finishes. Two years ago he also waited for the final ascent of the Cauberg to get his *** kicked

 

[Afrank]

Only saw the last 30 minutes of it, so will have to abstain from voting until I've seen more. But I'm expecting, sadly, the parts I missed will be similar to what I saw.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The waiting game continues, but a nice finale with one of the best classic riders coming out on top.

7. Too genorous perhaps but really liked to see Valgren going. And Breschel being back where he belongs. Plus a nice winner, with a nice winning move.

 

[Arnout]

Not a great race but happy to see that even in a not great and closed race an attacker can beat the suckers. 6 or 7, thereabout.

 

[Jancouver]

Kwiat winning was awesome but made the race just above average therefore 6 for me

 

[BlurryVII]

3 - Two points for the great winner kwiato, 1 pt for the wheelsucker archetype Gerrans being 2nd.

 

[jens_attacks]

8, good last 3 laps because of italy. also michal, perfect world champ

It looks like Nibali enjoys getting his *** kicked on those short finishes. Two years ago he also waited for the final ascent of the Cauberg to get his *** kicked

And last year he waited for the final hill to be among the top2 riders at the top.
And in MSR 2012 he waited for the Poggio to be among the top3 riders at the top.
Key word here is shape. He didn't have it. And we knew it.

I'd give the race a 6. It wasn't as bad as many are picturing it. We sure need some of the bigger teams to be more aggressive.

 

[icefire]

I'd vote fiasco, but I'll reserve that for next year.

 

[Netserk]

Worse than last year.
Better than 2012.
Better than 2011.
Worse than 2010.
Worse than 2009.
Worse than 2008.

I gave it 5.

edit: Maybe it should've been a 4.

 

[Arredondo]

6.

Quite good. Dull first few hours, really good second part when Italy made the race hard, setback in the 3rd part and a really intense and good final.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

A 1, but because Kwiat won and not a boring wheelsucker a 3

 

[jens_attacks]

to be honest now, a ten for dekker is if gesink attacks with 200 km to go and wins by 25 minutes

 

[SeriousSam]

It would have seriously ruined my weekend had Gerrans won. 5.

 

[pigoonse]

gave it an 8.

Did not have high expectations for this race in the first place and got what I hoped for: an exciting last few laps of the course. Have enjoyed watching Kwiatkowski all season. Love his enthusiasm and riding style. He's a great team player and hard worker on OPQS. And the Polish team celebration at the finish line was pure joy ...congrats to a deserving winner!

 

[lemon cheese cake]

I gave it a 5. It was a bit boring. Thats the whole week of racing included

 

[the sceptic]

the first 230 km was a 2, but the last 5 km was a solid 10.

 

[pablohidalgo7]

Five. I'm a little bit disappointed.

 

[ILovecycling]

4 cuz of a great podium

 

[classicomano]

8, because Gerrans didnt win.

 

[hfer07]

5 because it was a location with so much potential, and yet the parcour was soft enough to restrict any selection.

Kwait's win is the only reward, not only to prove yet again that a winner MUST take chances & dare to do things others aren't prepared to do so, but to lecture Gerro & Valpiti for riding like the cowards they are

 

[Kwibus]

8 because I expected a lot worse ofcourse. Once the Italians started the race became interesting. My bonus was that I recorded it and fwd the parts that are boring, so looking back at it an 8 might be a bit high.

Im really oblivious to why a break is completely unable to work together anymore the last years, which ruins so much races.

Not a big Kwiat fan, but I was cheering him on because he actually thought of something better than wait for the final climb. So really glad that the guts he showed were rewarded.

Also impressed by the danish youngsters and very very dissapointed in the dutch team. It's that they got orange kits so they stand out in the bunch else I would've never seen them.
