[The Hitch]

Samuel Sanchez- Stage 4 Vuelta al Pais Vasco

Hell yes.

Cuddles Fleche


Better watched in video. While everyone else celebrates a win by throwing both hands in to the air, Cuddles does a tiny weak fingerpoke, but you can see from his funny facial expression what it means to

him.

One of my favourite moments of the season. All those years of trouble, disgrace, hurt, pain, hard work finally, finally pay off

And its always nice to see a winner have time to wave his flag around. Especially when its the biggest one day race of the year.

All these moments are shown in the first 3rd of that AWESOME 10 minute season 2010 video, and look even better in the video.

You forgot to mention the cheating

 

[The Hitch]

You forgot to mention the cheating

Which in my eyes everyone was doing and is doing, so considering he was the scape goat, the one on whom everyones sins were layed and who was beaten and chased out into the desert to starve, it was nice for him to get a moment of relief, at the biggest hilly race of them all.

he had to be careful it didn't catch in the motor

 

[Vonn Brinkman]

For me it's Cancellara at the Ronde.
Such a beautiful sight, all the Lion flags, dozens of them, all huge, and then one tiny swiss flag that crosses the line first!
Beautiful!

 

[El Pistolero]

I wonder who the *** was that brought a Swiss flag to the event

 

[ingsve]

I'll chose a classic one:

 

[Jukebox]

igor anton in andorra.

Yeah, the karate chops were awesome.

 

[Moondance]

I agree with ingsve, I've always loved Flecha's archer move. It's a shame we see so little of it.

 

[Benotti69]

Monty Python's Life of Brian springs to mind

 

[The Hitch]

Funny we dont see that many complaints about "Flechas lame arrow celebration".

Well, i think when someone wins a race, they have a right to choose WHATEVER celebration they please.

Including this one.

And this is pure emotion. Not as much as Samu but he cried afterwards

Whatever happened to that pistol shot guy anyhow.....?

I always liked the archer shot the best. And the fisherman....
