Movistar guys are not happy that Carapaz left them haha

but it has been a super fun season to follow and all three Grand tours were super tight

-> Tao won Giro by +39 sec
-> Pogacar won Tour de France by +59 sec
-> and now Roglic won Vuelta by +24sec

Agreed. Although it was hard to follow all the main races at times with so much happening. We'll be back to normal in 2021 though ... I mean except for Tour Down Under which is already cancelled

Best race and best moment in 2020?

- favorite race: three weeks of Vuelta
- favorite moment: Pogacar takes the yellow from Roglic which was super surprising

The most fun moment was Roglic winning Liege-Bastogne-Liege after Alaphilippe's premature celebration. The race, definitely Tour de France, and its key stage, the individual time trial, is a highlight on its own.

This reminded me of Jeannie Longo who competed well into her 50s. She did her last multi-day UCI race at 50 and kept doing individual time trials.
