Great?

 Yeah? I guess...

I get tired of the drugs in cycling hub-bub (most especially when so many other sports are so flagrant about it with no media attention) but the 2011 Giro has left me a bit "bleh". There was some incredible racing. And, as always with the Giro, the scenery was fantastic. After the early tragedy of Wouter Weylandt's death the race bounced back and was fun to watch. But watching Contador easily crush the other contenders whenever he felt like it was not as exciting as it sounds. With the CAS hearing looming over this summer's racing, Contador's dominance has the taste of cheating. He was head and shoulders above the competition and if he did that without doping then he might be the greatest stage racer of all time. I hope that is the case.
