Best Trophy in Cycling!

[auscyclefan94]

What is your favourite trophy for a race in world cycling?

(It would be appreciated if you could post a pic of the trophy for everyone of which you are reffering to)

Bro, the thread is not the most beautiful model with a trophy!

I was trying to find the photo where Lance is doing his face...

Any closer pic of the Tour trophy anyone?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

the T-A trident is pretty cool.

lol @ AC's livestrong hat.

No! that trophy only acts as a facilitator of a different kind of rock for that particular rider!

 

[Jamsque]

It's all about the cobblestone, mainly because of the hilarity of asking a guy to lift a huge damn rock over his head after he has just completed 260km of the most brutal bike racing in the world.

Does this count as a trophy?

Agree with the Giro trophy. Piece of art. Liked the Tirenno trident also.

And a Kuurne donkey

Nah, nothing beats a funny hat.

You would think they would take the price tag off first. That's a lot of mortadello sandwiches.

 

[Big GMaC]

Compensating much?

Rolf Sørensen once got a cow when he won a stage in TDF in 1996. Funny thing.


But the cobble stone is the best trophy. No doubt.

 

[Ibanez]

If you win a Vuelta stage in Toledo, you get a sword.

Which is obviously pretty awesome.

+1. The cobblestone epitomizes Paris-Roubaix. Not fancy, big or expensive, but it says it all about the race and the type of rider who wins PR.

 

[Bag_O_Wallet]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Most Aggressive rider at TdF gets his body weight in cheese, and the Laterne Rouge at TdF gets a pig. Oh, what I would give to be both.

 

[bianchigirl]

When Tafi won P-R they gave him an extra cobblestone and he incorporated it into the house he was building.

Combativity proze used to involve the riders own weight in Coeur de Lion cheese but they stopped it a few years ago (boo)

In a TV show this week Eric Vanderaerden showed the cobble he got for winning Roubaix in '87. It was a small solid-gold cobble. He said he would have rather wanted a normal cobblestone because that looked so much cooler.


/Also have to love the meter long sausage you get when you win the mountainsprint on the Grossglockner.

This is the 'Toledo sword':

Ahhh Vanderaerden...great days!!!

That sword is definitely sweet!!

Takes the focus off his cameltoe.


Now I want a Toledo stage won by Cancellara. Spartacus with sword would make a great podium pic.
