Been looking for inspiration to get out on the bike? Like to have the sound of the crowd and motorbike horns as you fall asleep after a long day in the saddle? Then post the title and preferably a link to a race you've watched more than five times. We are looking for races that have depth in tactics and strategy, not just all out attacks. But the latter is welcome too. Please provide a reason why you've watched the race more than five times.

Me first: Tour of Flanders 2011 -

Watched this live. Almost everyone expected a repeat of the previous year with Cancellara blowing everyone away. Poor ol Spartacus was marked by everyone. With 20km to go the peloton split. Then with about 5km they regrouped. Then Cancellara flew away with Chavanel and Nuyens following. They worked together long enough to hold off Boonen and Flecha who buried themselves. Nice little hand shake between Chavanel and Cancellara, two totally different style riders.

Rasmussen vs Contador Col de Peysourde stage.

Why is that? The reason why I ask is because we have had hundreds of your favourite video threads, but you need to articulate why. It's like putting together how the race was won, but with less effort.

I have never watched any race fully for the second time (not talking about >5 times :eek:), just the best moments. I don't have time to watch races, results of which i already know.

Not EXACTLY what you are looking for, but I've watched the ending of the stage four in 2010 Vuelta numerous times. Here's the video.

Rigoberto Uran going on a kamikadze style attack, it looks like he might make it, can he... can he??? Nooo he hits a 24% wall and slows down to a crawl. Who's that behind him? It's J-Rod, Velits and Nibali going three-wide side by side. Is one of them going to take it??? But wait, what's that carrot-looking thing behind them? It's Igor Anton, and Anton explodes and takes the stage!!!!

The Dauphiné Libere in 2009, great climbs with the Madeleine, Mont Ventoux and the stage of La Toussuire. The great attack by Valverde and Evans wanting people (Contador) to help him, but no one does and Valverde wins the 2009 Dauphiné.

Any race where Armstrong, Beloki, Ulrich, DiLucca, Freddy Maertens, Landis, Hamilton, Botero, Vino, etc. are going well..........
Those are priceless moments, meant to be savored, again and again.....

5-) Vuelta 87
6-) last 6 editions of L-B-L
7-) World's 95 with Indurain
:cool: Paris Nice 2007 & 2009

then I have the Zoncolan & Angliru Stages on heavy rotation too. I also have acquired the last editions of Strade Bianche-really good & from time to time I have P-R & the Ardennes classics

bottom line: Winter is too long and is better off being prepared with visual aids to endure the boring hours on the trainer :)

Same must have rewinded dozens of times just after and haven't stop watching it since, the see sawing between Cobo and Froome was brilliant, especially due to Froome's win.
Must say I have watched Andy Schleck galibier stage numerous times. It's just amazing to see a queen mountain stage of a grand tour be invigorated like that by GC contenders nowadays, unbelievable.

Montelupone '08. J-Rod just made everybody else look like amateurs.
Fedaia '08. Lord knows I love Fedaia, and I can't help but marvel at the hilarious Sella attack.
Alto da Torre '07. Just to see the duel between Jiménez and Tondó, and the pathetic Liberty stuff with fat Barbosa being dragged to the line for a time bonus by Héctor Guerra.
Sestrières '11. Enough said.
Gardeccia '11. Just as much said.
Aprica '10. Well, duh.
Lombardia '06. The Cricket's finest moment.
Sestrières '05. Can never tire of the drama.
Tre Cime '73. Fuente at his best, giving his all in one final do or die swipe at the Cannibal.

I rewatched all the Tour and the Giros from 2002 many many times, but most of all I watched the Plateau de Beille 04 and 07 stages. It is a model of a perfect MTF.
