The Grand Monument Elimination Game

[Libertine Seguros]

Ok, so we‘re just ignoring this now? Ok

I was far too keen to get rid of that pus-filled abscess on modern cycling to bother with RULES, damnit!!!

 

[Ilmaestro99]

I'm not sure how that relates to anything I have said.

Gerrans' win at least had a crash on the final bend to make it memorable.

'Grande Italia, finalmente alla Sanremo, con il nostro numero uno, con lui, solo con lui!'

Capolavoro di Vincenzo made it memorable

It’s not Tuesday yet, but I’ll use those heals/hurts for those people who didn’t throughly read the rules in the next cycle unless you don’t want to.

 

[gavia88]

when are we allowed to vote again?

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

[Netserk]

when are we allowed to vote again?

That depends on what you vote. If give a wrong vote like LS did, you should sit out until you have reconsidered.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

OK, so now we can vote again...

Heal: Lombardia 2018
Hurt: Ronde 2016. Both of them.

What's impossible to replicate when you watch a clip 4 years later knowing the results, is how much tension we all felt watching that, how exciting that finale was. One of my most memorable afternnoons watching racing. Grandissimo Vincenzo

It's why Sanremo might be my favourite race (I don't know for sure). Yes the whole race is 7 hours of nothing, yes is usually a bunch sprints, yes nothing happens on Cipressa, yes the 280km are dull and you have to find something to do with your Saturday (god forbid). But for that final 15 minutes the whole cycling world stops what its doing and is engrossed in that tactical battle up and over the poggio into Sanremo

I agree (apart from feeling any tension when Nibali was away) a lot. It fortunately isn't usually a bunch sprint anymore.

Man this is really tough for monuments. I honestly do have to look up some of them just to remind myself what happened at what race. Also, we don't have a current standing yet, right? Anyway:

Heal: Lombardia 2018
Hurt: LBL 2016

The first standings are on the OP, the standings won’t come out for about 6-7 hours after the vote reset due to me living in the US and not being awake during the early morning hours.

Heal: Lombardia 2021
Hurt: LBL 2018

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Heal-2014 LBL- It was crappy, but better than a bunch sprint
Hurt-2016 MSR

I'm still afraid he starts celebrating too early every single time.

 

[Netserk]

Heal: Sanremo '13
Hurt: Sanremo '16
