Out of 10
Vuelta 10 Tour 7 Giro 3 That's a shame because the Giro in recent years has been much more interesting then the other two. Even my daughter showed a bit of interest because a couple of times recently the Giro has gone past the site where she was doing her GraveRobbing and she loved the goodies that the Caravan was handing out (GraveRobber == Archaeological excavator) -- Davey Crockett Flying the Flag of the English The Flag of Hengest and Horsa http://usera.imagecave.com/daveycroc...lishdragon.jpg |

| Is there money in legitimized grave robbing? It pays very poorly. Around only 60,000 Euros a year But then she gets her rent and living expenses plus her car paid by the university. She manages the Dig Site and was actually lucky to get the job, mainly because she was the only one on staff with a European Community passport. She's a bit miffed though since she'll never get to be professor so long as she keeps the job, but will have to stay Dr. -- Davey Crockett Flying the Flag of the English The Flag of Hengest and Horsa http://usera.imagecave.com/daveycroc...lishdragon.jpg |

Hmmmm Davey got two daughterz When they became 11 years old, Davey sent them away to decent boarding schools. The elder daughter became a psychiatrist at the age of 31 The younger one became an archaeologist at the age of 35 Davey has paid all the kids' costs along the way. Tuition at first class schools, living expenses, travel expenses, pocket money, clothing, cars, even travel for their friends when their friends didn't got no Roubles, etc., etc. The sum total of that is astronomical, mitigated only by what grants, bursaries, scholarships, and lecturing fees they could generate along the way. In the interest of modesty Davey will refrain from giving you a figure for the total cost. Suffice it to say it was astronomical for the 20 and 24 years respectively, but nevertheless not grudgingly, but willingly paid. The elder psychiatrist daughter earns roughly Three times what the younger earns. That Bob, was the rationale for thinking that 60,000 Euros (Gross before taxes) is a ****-poor return on investment. -- Davey Crockett Flying a Green Flag for the latest victims of the latest agression of the moribund American Empire. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fl...iriya_1977.svg |

A guy at the office, doing quite well, thank you, had a gift from his dad when he turned 18: a set of luggage. His brother is doing even better as an anti-trust lawyer (but he claims that since brother works for the corporations, that brother is a pro-trust lawyer.) When I turned eighteen all I wanted was to get on my own; not that I had not been well taken care of. -- Old Fritz |

R Vuelta was "interesting" because it's very hard to make time on climbs, and there was hardly any TTing. That's ok: it's a legit parcours, but it creates a very different kind of race than a typical Tour, and one where the final time gaps were small. It may also argue for the return of time bonuses to the Tour. |
