Which is the best week of the season.

[The Hitch]

What is your favourite week in cycling. Which is the most important. Which is the one you most look forward to. Look at these 3 questions and then pick 1 week. Then vote for it.

I would include GW in Ronde - PR week. But im not sure if its there anymore.

 

[roundabout]

Favourite used to be GP Miguel Indurain- Flanders-Pais Vasco- Gent-Wevelgem- Klasika Primavera- Roubaix

Scheldeprijs is kinda meh, even compared to Gent-Wevelgem, but i guess it would probably still be the week (ok, 9 days) i most look forward to

 

[Ibanez]

I voted Northern Classics.

But I do love the final week of the tour, just because it is the tour.

 

[El Pistolero]

Ronde/P-R

.............

 

[Kvinto]

in the end it's also very sad (and it's a bit more than calendar week) but: Emilia, Paris-Tours, (Milano-Torino), Piemonte and Lombardia

 

[Arnout]

The polls are getting more silly by the minute I expect a poll about which rest day in a GT we like most to pop up next week.

Anyway, more, I enjoy PR and RVV together with Pais Vasco (though most because of Pais Vasco), the AGR-LBL run, last Giro week, last Tour week and the Italian classics week in october all very much, can't really make a ranking.

6-days of Gent, in my opinion.

 

[Moondance]

Very easy. The Ronde and Paris-Roubaix week. Those two alone would be good enough, but to add another great race like Basque Country makes it a no-brainer. Gent-Wevelgem used to be in the week as well, although its disappearances (and compensation by the Scheldeprijs) doesn't really make too much of a difference.

 

[Mellow Velo]

Dare I say it, but I quite like the week when there are 2 Grand Tours on at the same time.
Summer just around the corner, too.

Other than that, I'm with rest and the monumental/Basque week.

 

[jens_attacks]

Very easy. The Ronde and Paris-Roubaix week.

same for me.

 

[on3m@n@rmy]

I love the GT week 3 options, but it is week 3 of a GT, which can be less exciting because standings can be more or less sorted out by then. So for me, I picked the Ronde-Roubaix week based on the potential for a lot more excitement. Ardennes classics was next.

 

[Sydney21]

Ardennes for me. Just love the one day hilly classics. There is no conserving of energy in one day races which makes them explosive to watch with copious amounts of action. Closely followed by Cobbled week and Basque Country.

 

[Marcus135]

Ardennes classics defs, then some grand tour last week (dont care which tour) simply cause there is riding everyday

 

[Ferminal]

Ardennes > Giro > Rvv/P-R > P-N/T-A

 

[badboyberty]

Third week of le Tour, MY BIRTHDAY, always the best.

Ardennes are the best races though.

 

[El Pistolero]

You forgot the Tour de Pologne week.

 

[biopass]

The first mountain stages of Grand Tours!

Usually gives an idea of whos fighting for the GC, Best overall Team, Mountain jersey ect.

 

[auscyclefan94]

Ardennes, i personally find it more exciting and I find them to be better races. More attacking as well imo.

 

[BroDeal]

The week after Amrstrong gets indicted is bound to be loads of fun all around. I have been looking forward to it.

Until then I will have to go with the last week of the Giro. Although the Ronde - P-R is always a high point.

 

[Anonymous]

You forgot those all important 7 days in may...

For me its flanders/roubaix although the last week of the tour comes close as I know by the end of the week I will be in paris on holiday.

 

[Vonn Brinkman]

Ardennes, i personally find it more exciting and I find them to be better races. More attacking as well imo.

Is that because Cadel actually has a chance of winning?

 

[sublimit]

You forgot the Tour de Pologne week.

Greiple and a few Polish amateurs will be looking forward to it for reasons i have yet to understand.

M-S-R should be good to see the sprint showdown so I probably go for that out curiosity. P-R/ Ronde week is also right up there. A random week of the Giro a close third.

 

[The Hitch]

You forgot the Tour de Pologne week.

No i didnt. Its option 7.

Greiple and a few Polish amateurs will be looking forward to it for reasons i have yet to understand.

Haters gonna hate

 

[auscyclefan94]

Is that because Cadel actually has a chance of winning?

Actually no, though he does add to the great racing. I prefer them over the cobbles though I understand why others may like cobbles better because they are difficult to ride over and it causes hard, difficult racing.

 

[bjaelkesex]

Last week of the Giro. Hopefully I'll time to go there this year.

You forgot the Tour de Pologne week.

We all know that week is only about the Saxo Bank training tour.
