[Armchair cyclist]

Brendan Canty thought he was about to win the Australian RR nationals, then heard the bell...

Yup, when a famous rider does it it is extremely funny, but when a rider not known much does this I get sad as well, perhaps it would be the only win of his/her

Ewan joins the list

Cost him the win. Should have continued to ride to the line and throw the bike.

Could be it chalked up to a beginner's mistake? Being so excited about (finally) beating Kittel and Cavendish in a direct sprint that he forgot the part where you actually have to be first all the way across the line...

It wasted an impressive sprint and a very impressive lead out. Stephens will have words for him.

I'm sure he will learn from it, It's never nice but better to do it now than in a bigger race in the future.

The more I watch it the more I think he would've lost anyway. Impressive sprint by Ewan though.

Yep, push come to shove I think he loses it anyway. Kittel took it by half a wheel and Ewan was only starting to post up. It would've thisclose, though.

Storm in a tea cup. Much better riders than Ewan have made the same mistake. Lesson learned.

Laurent Pichon was pretty close to CTE yesterday in France:

Well, that was one of the most embarrassing moments I have ever seen in a cycling race.

 

[Akuryo]

Damn, you are quick.

 

[LPP68!]

I don't understand this one. No photographers after the line, a motorcycle following you over the finishline, let alone a very loudly rang bell. Considering that, it took him ages to find out he did not win.

 

[RedheadDane]

It's possible he wasn't thinking completely clear in the moment.

A lot of you have probably already seen this, but this painful example belongs here:
