Just reading back through this thread now that it's revived and saw this. Of course, the way things panned out in 2014, it was the Vuelta which had the strongest field in the end, and ended up being the best race as a result. The Tour this year looks like it'll be the toughest field, provided they all stay upright.
When was the last time the Giro had the strongest GC lineup of all 3 GTs? Maybe back when Indurain was winning it?
