Best and worst signature celebrations?

[jordan5000]

Different riders have different signature celebrations (such as AC's pistol shot), what are some of your favourites and which do you hate?

This is the worst celebration I've ever seen

Toulouse...

Flecha's is a great one. He doesn't win much, so he has earned every win. And that way, it doesn't get old.

best might have been sastre's dummy

He wins so seldom but by far this is my favorite.

Didn't one rider have a fisherman celebration?

I think it was Chris Anker Sorensen and he almost fell off his bike doing it.

I've never cared for signature celebrations. Contador's pistol shot is the most god awful celebration in cycling: so contrived and generic. I prefer spontaneous and honest emotial reactions like the Samu pictures, and I love to see Cav win because each win seems to mean something; he still gets excited and it's never routine. If they must have a signature, it's gotta be Flecha; it's orignal and personally significant.

Samu's celebrations are so intense!

It was Chris... and I don't remember him almost falling off his bike when he (first) did it in D-L... And can't recall any other times...

That one looks like he is trying to have a crap That would be in my worst pile. (Waiting for people to criticise cadel's salutes after this post)

Signature celebrations are just forced.
I fondly recall Haussler's celebration in the 2009 tour.
I guess Samu's are a signature in how they're all so purely emotional.

I really like Flechas. As mentioned it doesnt come so often, his victories are hard fought and a little bonus is that his name actually means "arrow" in spanish. Pretty original I think.

 

[RedheadDane]

I might've been wrong. But I think I heard somewhere that it was first used as a sort of "greeting" to Jakob Piil. Whose name also means "arrow" Except only with one "i"

 

[El Pistolero]

I heard that too. He also responds to you if you adress him by the name Jan Antoon Pijl

You can really get behind Sammy's celebration, that's for sure. My favorite was Cav in the 2010(?) TDF when he "phoned it in"...says so much about amazing talent coupled with immaturity.
My least favorite ever was Spartacus kissing that little angel on his roll-in at P-R and was it Flanders too? Really pandering to the teen girl audience. Before races, officials should forget about trying to find electric motors and focus on confiscating Fab's little angels.
