infeXio said:How exactly does that make Hesjedal season better than Contadors? If anything, Contador should be up there, as he hadn't had any racing days for half a year before returning and winning the Vuelta.

Netserk said:How many of those who put Sagan (who haven't won any one-day race or stage race other than national) in top 5, would have had Cav in top 3 last year?

Not me. And he was close to losing it. Vuelta better than Giro this year, just because there was more competition and excitement.Afrank said:Almost everyone pretty much expected Contador would end up winning the Vuelta.
