Most impressive stage win???

[runninboy]

Cavendish is Paris.

It appeared straightforward but the fact that the rest of the teams and sprinters effectively abdicated any responsibility to contest on the great stage is indicative of his awesome speed.

Not to mention the fact that the other teams sprinters could not even catch his leadout man Renshaw. It is hard enough to win in Paris but in such convincing fashion was awesome

Haussler's win was the most impressive. Voekler's win made me the happiest.

QFT

Brice's win was stunning as well...if he can maintain and improve his form over time, he's gonna be a star

Haussler
Ivanov
Luis Leon
Contador. TT and stage 15

Haussler, and then I've gotta say Frank Schleck after his and Andy's little ride through the mountains. The brotherly love between them is so cute, and the double arms in the air made for a great finish line photo with Contador just off to the side wishing he could take the win, but knowing he can't because he's already getting enough sh*t for dropping Kloden.

Haussler's win was the most impressive for me, followed by Contador's two (Verbier and the ITT) with an honorable mention for Renshaw/Cav in Paris. I usually wouldn't vote for a sprint, but that was the most impressive one I've seen in the Tour in a while. By the end of the sprint, they were so far ahead, they could have given Cav a second or two gap to the rest of the field.

No particular order:

Cav Paris (As much Renshaw's win as his)
Ivanov - rode his little bloody legs for that one.
feiliue - great tour début win

Haussler

Cavendish-Stage 19 and Paris. No one expected him to be with the main group going over the last climb of the day. Then the gap Renshaw put on the rest of sprinter was amazing. Cavendish was all alone. I'm surprised there wasn't a time gap, because there looked like there was one to me.

Contador at Verbier

Any stage that awarded the stage winner a living Saint Bernard Dog is worth extra special mention.

Haussler, Feillu, and Voeckler (loved him shaking his head at the finish line). The Columbia train was a thing of beauty (albeit a little predictable as the race wore on). No love for Hushovd in Barcelona? That was a pretty nasty sprint.

Though the final stage was impressive it looked more so as Garmin spoiled it for everyone else, the most impressive sprint was stage 2. While everyone was fresh Farrar was directly behind Cavendish and throughout the whole sprint Cav pulled away...awesome. For as much as people talked about the overall being boring, I thought it was a pretty decent race. Ok contador and astana were dominant, but there were some impressive individual stages, those already mentioned and the battle for 3rd was interesting, the schlecks destroying all comers on the queen stage...surely not a bad tour. If the battle for 3rd was the battle for 1st everyone would have though it was great.
