That was close but I think that celebration didn't cost him the win anyway.

The most famous near-miss. People still make fun of Gianni Bugno for having almost lost his first WC because of an early celebration

Victim nr. 2.

2 in a row !

Justin Jules finishing second in Tour de Vendée.

EDIT : I'm totally in the tone of the topic.

I don't think Turgis would have won even if he'd have pushed through the line. Still, that was piss-poor form -- better to lose with dignity.

Those red jerseys are hard to see.

Coquard doing his best Luc Roosen

Those red jerseys are hard to see.

It turns out that Coquard suffers from a very unusual kind of colourblindness; he simply cannot see people wearing red!

So he looked to his right, seeing a helmet flying over the finish line right in front of him thinking, thank god there was nobody under that helmet?

Jonathan Klever Caicedo in Asturias today. Poor guy.

Jonathan Klever Caicedo in Asturias today. Poor guy.

Yes I really felt for him. I was shouting at the screen telling him to keep going! Shame to lose out for such a silly mistake when he had done so well to make himself the chance by attacking early. Would have been a great win for him and the team.

And in the sub-category of not realising that one has grounds to celebrate at all, Julian Alaphilippe's belief that he was 2nd behind a Nibali breakaway, thus robbing himself of the on-line celebration of his biggest win (to date) in Fleche Wallonne, should be noted.

And now for the newest version!

Some guys sprint a lap too early (but fitting with the kilometres...), everybody continues, a new sprint - one by the same guy who won the false sprint - the original three goes onto the podium...

Asturias was great, 3 stages and got in both a celebrate too early on stage 1 and on the 3rd stage a celebrate a non-win.

That's just the camera angle, he won by more than half a bike

You might be thinking of his Flanders win in 1994

He also immediately lowered his arms as if he realised that he was wrong.

Giro di Sicilia

Odd Christian Eiking - (Wanty - Gobert Cycling Team) celebrating 2nd place.

What are the odds?
McNulty was the winner of the stage where Eiking celebrates - after having celebrated early in the previous post!

Yeah, that got me for a minute. I always jump to first unread post in a thread vand it took me to that McNulty premature celebration and I thought it was from today as I heard he won the stage.
