[edit] Giro d'Eritrea
Did any of the cyclists in the Giro d'Italia ever participate in the Giro d'Eritrea? Obviously I am only referring to those who competed around WWII. --Merhawie 15:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Grand Tours No 2 spot: Vuelta or Giro?
Wikipedia has this to say about the two lesser races of the three Grand Tours:
Giro d'Italia: "It is, after the Tour de France, the second most important stage race in the world."
Vuelta a Espana: "The Vuelta a España bicycle race is one of the three "Grand Tours" of Europe and, after the Tour de France, is the second most important road cycling stage race in the world."
So which is "truly" second? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by X.coincide (talk • contribs) 22:37, July 29, 2007.
- The Giro. In fact for me, the Giro is the best (it has a better route than the Tour, harder climbs, more beautiful scenery and is usually less predictable). I've never heard anyone say the Vuelta is the second most important stage race, I'll edit that out. They all pale in comparison to the Monuments though ;-) SeveroTC 23:28, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
