Tour of the Gila vs Vuelta a Castilla y León

Which race do you think is harder?

Levi has won both of them, so he would have the definitive answer...

Tour of Gila
**** field with no worthy opposition. What's the use of even comparing that to Vuelta Castilla y Leon?

Look at the lists of winners and get back to me.

I assume by 'harder' you simply mean terrain? Otherwise, it' s not an issue b/c of the huge disparity in the quality of participants.

NYT headline from last year:
Armstrong Finds Oasis at Sedate Tour of Gila
Even made one fan reply to Armstrong:
"If July doesn't work out, there's always the Tour of Los Alamos."

Uuummmm, Nuclear powered pedalist. Now there's a thought.

Here is Tour of the Gila....climbing on EVERY stage?

Past winners are mostly Spanish or mostly American, depending on the Race.

Big Spanish names and Big American names, depending on the Race.
Lots of lesser know names from both coutries also

Seems to me the Vuelta a Castilla y León is the Spanish version of America's Tour of the Gila. Hopefully, both races continue to thrive....

Wtf are you talking about, just compare the Castilla y Leon top 10 to that of the Tour of Gila.

The Castilla y Leon field is about 1000000x thougher

14 GT wins in the list of winners for CyL, how many for Gila?

The teflon coated troll stikes again.
Yeah, there are lots of women and over 40s men in C y L.

 

[peloton]

Polish, your trolling is getting very tiresome.

I guess the race for denim market superiority has changed ever since global outsourcing for cheaper labour has taken route. Sure, I think Levi Strauss has won the Castilla y Leon denim market and the New Mexico market before, but with today's difficult economic times and the denim jacket experiencing a bit of a lull in popularity with today's disenchanted youth, the market has become smaller and the choices broader, so asking Levi Strauss which market is the more difficult to conquer might not be terribly accurate.

Maybe Clavin Klein, Lee, and even the Jordache people would also have a say as to which market is more desirable, then again they probably just care about the money rather than whether New Mexico or Castilla y Leon is cooler, that is harder.
