2- nuno ribeiro destroying the field with the help of sergio paulinho to win the volta.
3-one of the jalabert solo efforts in le tour(prolly my first international cycling memory was rly just a kid and remember that it took me a while+my mothers help to be able to read his name.
4-virenque wining on the 14th of july and getting the kom and the yellow jersey at the same time.
5- jose azevedo pacing/destroying the peoloton up the montains.
6- joseba beloki crash
7- salvoldeli losing contact to basso and piepoli on a montain but with his epic downhill skills getting back a couple of minutes therefore keeping the maglia rosa.
8- mai milaneza epic performances on the vuelta

10- rui costa great performance on the u23 worlds more precisly when he went missing for most of the race only to be fond a couple of minutes behind the favourites group with a couple laps to go and all of sudden being back with the favourites.
