What, in your opinion, is the most alien jump you've ever seen?
(HD) footage required.
These three keep spinning round in my head:
1. Cancellara 2010 PR, 2:10 into the next link:

2. Cancellara 2010 RvV, 1:40 into the next link:

3. Froome 2013 Ventoux, 1:40 into the next like:

Not coincidentally, all three are seated, a rider putting a massive gap in short space of time onto his opponents. All three, imo, look unnatural in terms of accelleration compared to visible physical effort.
My guess is that 90% of the posters here have seen more races than I have, so I would love to see some other foorage of alien jumps. Selection criteria may of course differ from mine.
On a side, also welcome are links/references to specific type of commentary, e.g. where commentators explicitly state they can't believe what they're seeing.
