What’s your favourite grand tour ?
For me it’s the giro, It’s often more exciting than the tour , and has a bigger history and prestige than the Vuelta.
I used to read often about the Coppi- v Bartali rivalry and how it divided Italy.
I still think this is the biggest Rivalry of cycling, and of course was a huge rivalry in the giro , even more than the tour.
When i was racing, not long after I started I remember watching the giro in 2005 that Savoldelli won, the finestre stage still probably the best gt stage I’ve watched.
In recent years Pogacar and Vingegaard have brought some excitement back to the tour, but even that doesn’t equal the excitement of the mountain tt between Roglic and Thomas.
They were both past prime but the close competition makes it so much more fun to watch.
I hope we can have some better editions of the giro soon and recreate those great stages.
