Best day of 2013?

[Carols]

1- Paris-Roubaix; a Nailbiter to the very end! It stands alone as the Best.
2- TA stage 6
3- Tour echelon stage
4- Nibs wins stage 20 in a snowstorm.

 

[zlev11]

1. Paris-Roubaix
2. TDF Stage 13
3. Angliru

 

[Ferminal]

 

[Big Doopie]

LBL.

Nothing else comes even close.

Unless it was Contador "the dominant rider of his era" being caught and passed by his ex-teammate in the Dauphine ITT.

 

[RedheadDane]

The Wind stage at the TdF! (Stage 13?)

 

[Netserk]

Poll says 2013

And that picture was from 2013

 

[fauniera]

Sant'Elpidio and it's not even close.

This.

10 char...

 

[Fight.The.Power]

TDF Stage 9 for me.

Garmin attacked out of the gates

Sky was blown to pieces with Froome in trouble

Attacks from Valverde

Win for Dan Martin

Spectacular.

3. Angliru: After looking to be out of contention earlier in that final week of the Vuelta, Nibali's repeated attacks exploded the race, and forced race-leader Horner to patiently chase him down time and again. I haven't seen such gutsy, aggressive GT racing since Andy at the 2010 Tour.

2. P-R: If Nibali fit the role of tragic hero at Angliru, Cance roared across the cobbles like the operatic buffoon whose opponents' falls and follies ends in his own inevitable victory, and their mind-numbing self-defeat.

1. Worlds RR: This should be the most talked about day of racing from this season for years to come. Rain ruins the whole day and five riders make the final cut in the second half of the last lap, but Uran slides into the bank on the side of the road. Of the final four, two cyclists race, another wins, and a fourth gets the blame. No podium ever looked so much like a scaffold, and no Verdi or Mozart would lay a finger on this spectacle, butBonnie Tyler sums it up fine for me.

The last WC DH race!!

Smith WINS!!!

Contador Tour '11 and Vuelta '12???

 

[jens_attacks]

too many this year

voted the echelons stage though...100 kms where i couldn't even go to toilet forget snack, lemonade from the fridge or others

angliru was awesome too

bonascre&ventoux great

roubaix fantastic

 

[Leonardus]

Roubaix stands out for me, everyone expected Cancellara but after 100k of hard racing it came down to track skills to beat Vanmarcke.

The echelon stage in the Tour and the Porto Sant'Elpidio stage are a good 2nd and 3rd this season.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Could, should have been KBK.

 

[Netserk]

1) Boonen part of E3

...

2) WC RR
3) stage 13 in TdF
4) Porto Sant'Elpidio
5) P-R

 

[Shardi]

Phil spriting to victory in the rainbow stripes at the vuelta.

 

[Jux1893]

I voted the WCRR, because it was the most important day for Portuguese cycling in 30 years.

Other memorable days were P-R, when Sep gives Cancelara the flick for him to take a pull and he attacks, the Tirreno stage with half the riders off their bikes pulling them up the hill and the echelon on the Tour (the most exciting Tour's stage this year).

 

[SiAp1984]

Ventoux stage. Always a pleasure to see AC getting dropped by the best... and several other riders...

 

[IndianCyclist]

WC RR as the most unlikely man won under the most dramatic circumstances.

 

[pastronef]

TDF Stage 9 for me.

Garmin attacked out of the gates

Sky was blown to pieces with Froome in trouble

Attacks from Valverde

Win for Dan Martin

Spectacular.

agree, great stage, Garmin from the gun, and Dan's win

 

[Escarabajo]

What happened in La Vuelta Stage 6?????

Tirreno stage was the best.

 

[Afrank]

What happened in La Vuelta Stage 6?????

Tirreno stage was the best.

panzerwagen happened. Or he tried to happen at least.

 

[Pricey_sky]

The Ax-3 stage of the Tour. Quintana set the fuse by attacking hard, Sky chased with Kennaugh and Porte destroying the peleton. Froome rode away and Porte followed for an incredible show of dominance.

Special mentions to Panzer's epic Vuelta stage where he came so close to a solo win and also to PR which was very entertaining.

How on Earth THIS was missed from the list?

 

[Sciatic]

How on Earth THIS was missed from the list?

Because none of us could see any of the racing until the final 500 meters?
