It's only three days into the Tour, and I'm already waiting for the Vuelta.
Yes, you read that correctly.
I'm tired of the circus. Tired of the Lance-Contador pisising contests. Tired of reading about Astana and their money. Tired of the Lance vs. Lemond and Lance doping topics hijacking every other thread. I'm tired of the three-week posters. And I'm tired of having to correct the same misinformation from people who know little about this sport. And that isn't just on this forum. It's out in the world as well.
Of the three GT's this year, the Vuelta's course interested me the most anyway. Lots of small, tough climbs, with a real hard 2nd week, and a fairly tough 3rd week. Starting in the Netherlands and heading into Germany, and Liege in Belgium is going to be cool. When in Spain the course entirely skips the Pyranees, but will travel along the scenic Mediterranean seaboard, and still will have more climbs than any of the other GT's this year, including three mountain top finishes in a row. This year looks like it's going to be one for us die-hard cycling fans. Who's with me?
