Rate Vuelta 2012

[Miburo]

Since the vuelta is pretty much finished it's time to give our score for this GT I would say.

 

[luckyboy]

Vuelta 8
Giro 5
Tour 2

 

[Parrulo]

put 9 simply because of contador and how despite not being the strongest he still won the race with an amazing tactical gamble.

parcours were like a 6 tho

 

[Afrank]

I'd give it a 9 because of how bad the tour was. Probably a 8 if the tour had been better.

 

[Jason_Mercier]

If the TDF is a 1 of 10, the Vuelta is a 3.

 

[LaFlorecita]

10 because ALBERTO!

 

[LaFlorecita]

I think I rated the Tour 5/10. So yeah Vuelta 10/10. Giro 7/10.

 

[will10]

8/10

A more-human Contador makes for amazing racing.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Where is the 11?

 

[luckyboy]

I think I rated the Tour 5/10

.....

 

[cineteq]

Bravo Unipublic, 10/10!!!!
LOL @ 1/10 TdF level

 

[LaFlorecita]

.....

Yeah I know

 

[cineteq]

Yeah I know

Bluff, you voted 10/10!

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Please dont make a poll of the Giro. Will be better for my health.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Bluff, you voted 10/10!

No 5/10 I swear! I actually wanted to vote 2/10 but then I remembered Vino!

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

7/10, but only because of stage 17.

 

[Vino attacks everyone]

No 5/10 I swear! I actually wanted to vote 2/10 but then I remembered Vino!

you better

 

[sartoris]

I voted 8 too. The best GT of the season by far.

It's a shame that, no matter what the parcours is like, who races, whether the race is boring or not ... the TdF is and always will be THE race. I wish this ended soon ....

No 5/10 I swear! I actually wanted to vote 2/10 but then I remembered Vino!

That's way too much but ok if it's for vino lol

I gave it an 8 btw.

Was doubting between 8 and 9, this stage made me go for 8.

Maybe if we saw stage 17 completely live I would go for 9.

Such a shame, one of the most epic stages of this year, well probably the most epic one and we haven't seen much from it. Reminder: in the beginning of that stage there was a group of Contador/Valv away.

I'll go with 7. I'd actually rate the GC battle higher but the boring sprints is bringing down the score. Sprint stages are usually dull but the actual sprint finishes in this race were very forgettable as well.

Definitely my favourite GT this year. I really enjoyed the team tactics at Movistar and Saxo and having Contador back but not totally dominant.

I know they've been geographically limited this year but I've enjoyed the scenery as well.

 

[Netserk]

stage 17 was a 10

.... The rest = overrated

 

[airstream]

I would have given the 9 if Contador won today. But today's stage was upset to me. We got the victory of the fact that how sometimes it can be more important what opponents think of one rather than how actually strong this one is... So I give 6. The only positive moment is since now I have no doubt time plays against Contador.

 

[Pulpstar]

I'll give it a 9 because it cost me a couple of pennies in bets but best grand Tour I've seen in a good while.

God it's getting more and more annoying.

 

[mb2612]

8 because they last few stages haven't been as good since Contador took the lead.

Still excellent though.
