Roberto Bettini
Great photo, it shows a guy on attack hunched over the bike riding for victory with the crowd screaming in the background and some of the swiss alps in the background.

The people still love cycling. Mont ventoux

I vote for this picture as it gives us a glimpse of the great battles we can expect in years to come.

Roberto Bettini, Tour de France Stage 17

Or another picture in that sequence

This one gets my vote.

Awesome: excuberance, exhaustion and composure all in one shot.

Or maybe it's because it shows that the Schlecks have even punier upper bodies than I do.

The CLASSICS! the HARD men of cycling. More photos of these guys, less of the puny climbers for me.

It's my favourite photo, taken by the stage of Giro d'Italia from San Martino to Alpe di Siusi. And i suggest a photo from Eroica, in March in Italy.

Superprestige #4 - Hamme Zogge, C1, Belgium, November 23, 2008

What a shame. CX pics are good most of the time. Nys crossing the line in the Koppenbergcross 2008 is also great.

One of my favourite photos of the year, have this as my desktop background at work.

Awesome...

It is such a cool photo, most of the podium photos are boring but this one is very cool. You know there are some photos you just remember and this is the first one that popped on my mind then I red about the competition and I just had to post it

Mr. Peat

I know the site has a bit of a road bias but...
Steve Peat getting the bath at worlds, this isn't the best pic of this I have seen of this moment, but this is the cycling moment of the year. Finally the stripes for the DH rider with the most career world cup victories.

[katkotom]

for me one of the most interesting battles this season - L.L.Sanchéz shaking off Contador in Paris - Nice

 

[imp167]

Cobo's haka style celebration on Stage 19 of the Vuelta was memorable. A hi-res image with tighter crop has greater impact.

For scenery, I'll say that Passo Rolle shot gets it. For grandeur of the sport, I'll go with the Saint Roche and the crowd. For drama, I like that Haussler photo on page 1.

But if we're allowed to be bold, and pictures tell a thousand words, I think this photo tells the story of the entire season:
