Yeah, if you change the length and the length is a prominent part of the name...I'm fairly sure one would have to change to name Then again, in car racing the DTM (German Touring Car Championship) will move from touring cars to sports cars next year, yet keep the DTM name.

At least they dropped the Paris bit. Come to think, the Paris-Roubaix doesn’t go near Paris either. De_Gambassi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,554 Posted October 20, 2020 #226 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Historic moment: at this very moment, two Grand Tours are being held, the Vuelta has started.

In translation it means they will be some of the weakest GTs on record. I mean, the whole one-day classics season has turned into track cycling sprint at this point... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vuelta has a strong field in terms of GC riders, the Giro has a decent field but with Yates and Kruijswijk out one can forgive the field for not being as strong as it could be and with Ackermann, Bennett (Vuelta) and Demare (Giro) the world's best sprinters are in them. The likes of Van der Poel, Van Aert and Alaphilippe were in the classics which is by far their strongest point anyway. All together, it's just not really noticeable that the peloton is a bit stretched.

Grassmarket 2,757 Posted October 20, 2020 #229 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Always the same: 80-90% of the world’s best do the Tour. 40% are in either the Giro or Vuelta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t realise It but with the cancellation of the Compiègne-Roubaix that’s the last one-dayer (and indeed three-dayer ) of the year. Just the Giro & the Vuelta (inc women’s mini Vuelta) to go.
