Celebrating Too Early/Late

[rallybanana]

Emil Herzog celebrated 2 laps too early, but nobody availed of the rare opportunity to have two premature celebrations in the same race.

Maybe he was celebrating his victory in the sprint bonifications competition. Ciccone has started a new trend perhaps.

...and again today in Classic Var! Cross the line and then celebrate!

Epic. 200 IQ win by Lenny who waited for Johannessen to turn his back.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

It's not the first time - so it shouldn't be happening. If it was horse racing, he'd be up before the stewards, and getting a suspension for not riding through the finish line......

That was Alaphilippe-in-Liege level of early celebration, actually comical

 

[jmdirt]

I will never understand the mentality of celebrating before the line unless you are solo.

Does anybody have a good picture of Sam Bennett‘s celebration yesterday?

Nothing wrong with the sprint, but claiming the win too early...

Could have been two in one day, but Alexander Salby just about made it in the ZLM Tour.

I think this might be the worst I’ve ever seen

Why did kopecky stop pedaling

Edit: so they were trying to gift it to majerus, who felt like a gift was worthy of a victory salute? Ha

This takes the cake

This takes the cake

I thought Remco already ate it?

I think it would have been a very nice gesture towards a rider, who has been a valuable member of the team for years and is about to retire. I'll always prefer a SDW win for anyone other than their big 3.

That Spanish race walker who was pipped on the line for bronze the other day, after she had been celebrating with a flag and everything, now that was quite funny.

Sure, the thought was nice.
But since it didn't work, it just ended up looking rather silly.
