Steele Von Hoff's 2014 Pro Thread

Pretty good assessment. Giro is also best at media and easiest to watch in the way I want to watch it. Although having said that la videotape is going through my favourite part of spam over the next week and I wish I were there.

Not sure I like the idea of the top cyclists competing in all three grand tours. I mean, I love the idea of seeing the big fish go head to head more often, but comparing the cycling calendar to sports like tennis seems a bit wrongheaded given the energy expense over such long periods of time. Am I missing something?

Ooh hello, a finish *and* a start in Rodez next year? That is highly convenient for my parents' place.

one TT at the start! froome unimpressed according to reports.

the "all the big names at all grand tours" thing would help strengthen the position of the giro and vuelta, which would be good. I'm sceptical to say the least at the level of form each contender would bring to each race, though - which is probably the main issue that counts against it.

RIP Paul Sherwen.
