How you know that the riders are as "clean" as the 80s? Because they told you so?
cleanest riding since the 80s. it is really quite obvious. yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with the riding we saw in 90s and 00s with turbo pelotons lead by indurain, pantani, armstrong, etc...

We do not want "rambo" climbing. But the problem with "easier" GT´s is that it doesn´t bring natural separation, thus leading to big groups on the final mountains, where it is a better choice for the contenders to ride with drafting than attacking. Would there be separation before, it would be fighting man against man w/o dull tacticts.
agreed.

So please don´t tell us what exciting is if you don´t know real GT´s.
watching cycling since 1972. i think i am allowed to tell you my opinion. you seem to be able to state all your opinions as if they were unalterable fact. so spare us the trolling.

Why should there be less difference between top riders? That´s utter nonsense. If you get bigger talent pools, you get stronger natural "freaks". The far left end of Gaussian distribution will be the same.
false.

"and the true test of a 3 week tour was basically nullified". I don´t want those days back, but i have to mention this, b/c it´s more nonsense. Why o why were there still big time gaps if everybody was at the same level?
big time gaps when exactly? relative term. big time gaps have really not been around since hinault's years. and you missed my point completely (surprise, surprise). riders like armstrong and hamilton became tour riders only because they were allowed to recover with blood bags and epo. the natural selection that you could count on to happen during the third week was therefore nullified. it has been exciting to hear a rider claim that there can be advantage there again. haven't heard anyone say that since the 80s.

you really need to calm down and be less angry. you'll live longer.
