Best day of 2013?

[phanatic]

Contador Tour '11 and Vuelta '12???

[a long drawn out] yeah, but I was thinking mainly of, like Andy trying to break Contador on Tourmalet, attacking your opponent's strength.

 

[Tigerion]

I would have voted Angliru as well. GT on the line, Gutsy riding from Nibs. Lone young breakaway rider struggling to stay away. All the things I like to see, best GT stage this year

 

[LaFlorecita]

panzerwagen happened. Or he tried to happen at least.

It was awesome

 

[fauniera]

Can't believe that Roubaix is leading the poll. Both Tour stages, the Worlds, San Remo and of course the Tirreno stage were way better than that.

 

[42x16ss]

panzerwagen happened. Or he tried to happen at least.

That was the most insane display of strength I've seen for a while. It was obvious everyone would be riding for second at the WC TT after that.

 

[RedheadDane]

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

Mørkøv won!
Oh, yeah... and Panzerwagen...

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Paris Roubaix was the best race as a whole

Ronde Van Vlaanderen, when they passed Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg for the last time, was probably the moment I'll remember best. Cancellara dropping Sagan was EPIC imo

 

[Cance > TheRest]

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

That was the stage to Bardonecchia, you are referring to (where Santambrogio won). The particular picture belongs to the stage to Tre Cime di Lavaredo, where Nibali demolished Uran and co.

 

[greenedge]

I voted PR- it kept you on the edge of your seat.
LBL and RVV were also great/ did the same.
I liked Riblons' win the most out of all the TDF stages/ stage 9 should also be considered. Surprised at the little votes for stage 13 (because everyone still talks about it).
Vuelta stage 20

For one week stage races TA stage 6 and ToR when Spilak beat Froome seemed good.

 

[rainman]

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

This said it for me too. Cav getting across and Sky missing the vital split, epic. Cance RVV/ PR double, Panzerwagons Vuelta solo had me standing shouting at the screen. The maillot jaune destroying everyone on Ventoux, jaw dropping even extraordinary. Dan Martin LBL brilliant, a lot of great racing this year.

 

[Contadoraus Schlecks]

I enjoyed Quintana accelerating away from everyone in Catalunya. Whipped Purito, Piti and Wiggins with a great kick.

 

[Tonton]

Of course I'm biased but Riblon hanging in there, then coming back on the slopes of l'Alpe d'Huez, attacking and dropping TVG, that was epic. What a win!

I voted for the echelon on stage 13, because that was a great display of team racing smart.

 

[BigMac]

RVV best race of the year hands down, despite Boonen's fall. Much better than P-R in my opinion.

 

[will10]

Roubaix this year was spectacular.

 

[Netserk]

RVV best race of the year hands down, despite Boonen's fall. Much better than P-R in my opinion.

What?!?

RVV this year was one of the worst edition :O

What are you talking about? It was not. I did enjoy seeing Cance drop Sagan and Roelandts better than P-R were i was cheering for Vanmarcke near the end.

I understand the race ''itself'' was not the best but the finale was verrry gooood imo.

 

[EnacheV]

A3 and Mount Ventoux by light years. Not often you can see gods at work.

 

[Pentacycle]

I understand the race ''itself'' was not the best but the finale was verrry gooood imo.

It was exciting for exactly 10 kms. Between the moment Canc attacked on the Kwaremont until he dropped Sagan on the Pater.

PR was exciting from more than 50 kms out, with several dark horses attacking and dramatic turns all over the place. And of course the suspense until the last 100m makes it much better than the Ronde and most other races this season.

 

[LaFlorecita]

A3 and Mount Ventoux by light years. Not often you can see gods at work.

Lol

I'm sorry it's just way too obvious. You don't even try to hide it.

 

[martinvickers]

Being utterly biased...

Martyn Irvine's Scratch Race at the World Track ;-)...

More seriously.

5. Angliru, for Nibali
4. Stage 4 Catalunya - Port Aine - Dan Martin holding 'em off for stage and race
3. Stage 7 - giro - Pescara - just watching the reigning tour champion fall apart in the rain was mesmerising
2. Ventoux, TdF. Skyhaters won't accept it, but it was an absolute classic of it's type (unlike the Alpe, truth be told), and aside from froome's win, more interestingly to me marked the incontravertible arrival of Quintana. True Climax of the tour.
1. Stage 9 TdF. Script torn to pieces by audacity alone. Fab racing. Some got annoyed that in the end Froome hung on - that was movistars fault, but as a day of carnage it was hard to beat - riders falling over cliffs, porte blown to pieces, several Quintan attacks on the final climb, and Dan Martin duking the sprint - even the wind stage wasn't really as savage.

 

[Netserk]

Surprised Liege isn't on your top 5
