The Grand Monument Elimination Game

[Netserk]

Just to note, you have two 2021 Lombardias, I assume one of them is meant to be 2012 - but they're on the same points so it makes no difference at this stage.

It will in a second, though, because:

Heal: 2012 Lombardia

I also haven't been petty for a while, so:
Hurt: 2016 Ronde

I know, toby, we're supposed to be judging the race quality, not the victor(s), but the objective of race quality is surely about enjoyment, and on that basis I'd have the entire day of the 2016 Ronde cast onto the pyre in a heartbeat.

But what was good about the 2012 Lombardia?

The 2012 season ended

Guys, we've got a loon loose here! Unfortunately, I will then have to use several heals and hurts to undo the damage done.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

I see all these years on, we still have a need to whitewash all things Sagan and silence all criticism, even tongue-in-cheek

(I to this day haven't actually seen the full race of the 2016 men's Ronde, but I hated the women's race enough to vote it down)

 

[Netserk]

Madman status confirmed.

What's next, that you'll even heal the Liège editions Valverde won?!

I assume this poll is for men's races.

Unfortunately, I've only just now noticed that you hurt the same race two days in a row. That's only allowed when we are down to six(?) options.

That’s my own error, as 15 MSR was out, and meant to put 2014.

 

[Netserk]

Heal-2016 LBL-horrible race, still better than bunch sprint MSR’s
Hurt-2016 MSR-one more hurt vote and no heals and we have our first race out

Then I switch my hurt to 2015 MSR

Heal 2018 RVV
Hurt 2015 MSR

Same happened here.

 

[Netserk]

That’s my own error, as 15 MSR was out, and meant to put 2014.

2015 was not out yet at that point, and in the tally you posted afterwards, it counts the two hurts for 2015 to get it down to 2 points.

I’ve added 2015 back with 2, which I believe I can use for my hurt today, yes?

I find it interesting that despite probably the two best individual races in the timeframe both being editions of Roubaix, Lombardia is the monument most clustered at the top with three of the top six and three before the highest scoring RVV. LBL and Sanremo being at the bottom is far less surprising, with the latter often ending in bunch sprints and the former being notorious for "wait for the race to develop" editions in recent years. I may over-fondly remember 2012 as a result because of comparison with the editions that followed, but nevertheless...
