So these are mine. I could have quite easily filled the top 3 with Tom Boonen's spring but that was too easy. So I've tried to scratch my tiny brain and come up with moments you may well have forgotten. It's not of course a competition, in that 'mine is better than yours', we have the Wiggins book thread for that! More sharing your favourite moments with us all.

Anyway here goes. The first link is not only for the drama of the finish itself, but the story behind Iljo and his journey to get to this point. If you put this clip in a movie, no one would believe it -

Number 2 is just a demonstration of a very frustrated champion. A world champion at that, and one of the many back stories behind Team Sky at this year's TDF. Jaw dropping speed and the look of L.L. Sanchez says it all.

Last but not least the Women's Olympic Road Race. All the best there is about road racing, showing womens racing in it's true light and finally a great effort by Lizzie but no one, no one is going to beat Marianne.
