I really dont understand how folks think that the racing back in the day so to speak was better then it is today. The level of competition today is so much higher and the introduction of stages or segments has added a degree of urgency that was missing. Just look at how hard they were racing yesterday at the ends of the segments!! Absolutely crazy hard racing and sure beats the hell out of just watching them ride. And the race was a sellout again this year. I think they've got it right!!
