Best stages since 2000

Hi guys. Sorry if this have been debated before.

I had a conversation with some cycling buddies the other day. We talked about what stage/one day race had been the best since 2000, and we were not agreeing at all. Of course we have different opinions, but it made a fun discussion and trip down memory lane.

So... what do you think and why?

For me personally it is Giro d'Italia 2010 stage 7. The one Cadel Evans won.

They road on dirt roads. It was raining. It was amazing. I was cheering like a mad man for Cunego that day, but in the end Cadel Evans won. It wasn't all bad though: this victory was a big factor in why I started to like Evans after having a difficult relationship with him for years.
