Giro d'Italia

Vuelta Anticipation

I am usually jaded after a whole spring of classics and two three week tours but for some reason I cannot quantify, the upcoming Vuelta is pressing all the right buttons.

Maybe it has been the quality of the racing so far in 2010.

Despite being somewhat overshadowed by the whole 'mechanical doping' row, the month of April had all you could have wanted and more. I am getting used to better weather for the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix and it was really great viewing.

Which Grand Tour ?

Here is a question I have been teasing myself with.

Which is the best three week grand tour?

I blogged on here about the Giro being so magnificent back in June http://road.cc/content/blog/18119-memories-2010-giro but so far the Tour has been as exciting.

The Vuelta never seems to match the racing (despite having the Angliru) but has a lovely end of season/summer ambience.

What do you reckon?
