Poll: Biggest surprise/upset of the season 2010.

The nominee thread is dead.. So everyone has said his thing. We can continue to picking the winner. The thing/person/team/whatever who will be always remembered as the first Diamant Bang! Yeah.. It shocked me too.. Golden Egg was the second choice but well.. That didn't really do it did it?

Ok.. I or you will talk you through the nominees.. Or you can skip to the poll.. It's down .,I,. there..

First:

Canadian PT races. For a race which is held for the first time it was gold. There was not even a tofield de the WC in Geelong but the races where one of the greatest this season. Not much races can say that.. I hope they stick around for some time..

Mikel Nieve! Second year Pro at Euskaltel and second year he could go unnoticed till the Vuelta. What a work he managed to do for Anton.. A lead out on the mountain where Anton has a stage win. After Anton's crash he didn't panic but tried it the other way.. What began as a chanceless, Frinklish, attack.. 5 minutes behind the breakaway! turned out to be the set up for Nieve's GT stage win.. He almost succeeded to win a second one.. After that a top 10 in Lombardia.. Take that Cancellara.. See you next year Nieve.. 

Team Luxembourg rises out of Saxo Bank: The once so loving familly at Saxo Bank suddenly bursted. Riis aka Mister Lock couldn't save his Island team. The Schleck's, Voigt and Cancellara are off to Team Luxembourg. Together with some staff members Saxo Bank looks.. Rubbish.. And Luxembourg the best cycling team from the world.

Contador getting busted: Because it hurt..Or so say you..

UCI powerless afford on Valjavec and Pellizotti: Busted and condemned already.. Didn't get the banhammer.. And were on to ride again.. But if it is a real surprise the UCI couldn't seal the case?

Di Luca gets away.. Again!: Condemned 3 times! Penalty time.. < 3 year.. How is that? 

Cervelo Test Team + Garmin Transitions sitting in a treee, K I S S I N G. Two team combining was a surprise to me. I Think it says a lot about the Cervelo brand that another team would morph to get their bikes - Flying Dog

Story: Cancellara uses a motor: Somebody so extremely strong he uses a motor is.. well.. strong. This story came from nowhere but, in my eyes, had some feet on the ground. Made the storie even better and well.. Maybe the indictment even more crazier.

Hesjedal's performance in the Tour: Vande Velde, Wiggins, Hesjedal.. You can say much about them but odds 1:10000 they would ever ride top 10 in the Tour. And there they did it. Hesjedal with one of the best shots of the season. Almost surviving the Paris-Roubaix stage in le Tour. What would happened if the guy who caught him.. Didn't had a motor in his bike?!

Riche Porte: Neo who took his chances and rode a great season. Hail to a next.. Australian.. eeh talent rider.

Peter Sagan: Where did he come from? 

World in Geelong: The never ending under- and overestimating of a course. The sprinters course ended heavier than expected. Still we had a sprinter as winner but the course was spectacular.. Or so I heard. 

Horner proves.. Old is not always buried: Best rider of Radioshack this season. Top 10 in the Tour + winning a Spanish Tour.

Vinokourov relives: Another old man with a succesful season. After his doping ban he already put himself in race mode last year which ended in a victory in Liege - Bastogne - Liege. Well done Mosnieur Voldemort

Daniel Martin: Slowly this boy is becoming one of the greaest. Tre Valle Varesse + Japan Cup + Tour of Poland + 2d in Giro d'Emillia

Cadel Evans The inspiration of the WC stripes lifted him to a whole new level this past season. I hope he rides like that in 2011 - Riv3th3ad And he improves his boxing lessons.. - Frinking

Thor Hushovd shows climbing legs: Crossing the line in front of the yellow jersey group after climbing Col de Peytesourde, Col d'Aspin, Col du Tourmalet, and cole d'Aubisgue on Tour stage 16 - El Ve

Igor Anton: knew he had it in him, but was kinda wondering if he'd ever fulfill on his real potential. Pleasantly amazed what he did in the Ardennes at his first attempt, and then the Vuelta - Albertina

Liquigas. Because they owned the GT's. What a season. One of the most wins.. 

Peter Velits GT ride: I'm not sure anyone expected him to get third in the Vuelta this year. I was defintely surprised when he won the stage 17. Penafel I.T.T beating mMenchov and Cancellara - Merry Crankster

Menchov podiums Tour I never saw him on the podium of the Tour. My respect for the guy keeps growing. - Chris

Grand/Gratefull/Grantastic/Glorious Heinrich Haussler disappointing season: I though he was going to gear stuff up this year - jsallee00

Cavendish's pre-TdF stage 5 performance: ????????

Chaingate incident: The Tour was lost here. When was the last time a chaingate influenced a race so much? When was the last time a chain was in the picture? (Cancellara RvV and Bettini's attack in Lombardia)

Hutarovich wins big!: Well.. Not just win.. Also beating Cavendish, Farrar and Petacchi in the Vuelta

Landis spilling his guts and the aftermath!: Firstly Landis telling all was a surprise the the whole Jeff and the feds thing pursuing it. - Clubrider

Taylor Phinney to BMC: Lance lost his magic stick. Phinney even left the elderly house.. They bought for money.. and of he is.. The beast knows how to make friends.

Tiago Machado best rookie at RSH
