Berzin toying with the rest, stage 4, Giro '94. Hilarious, ridiculous...

Attacks at 5:21, 6:03, 6:37 (the entire stretch is a must watch), and a Cancellara at 15:46. My first pick in the Fantasy Draft :p . Mutant with blond hair and sunglasses :cool: .

Hardly a real cancellara at 15:46, since he is out of the saddle in the acceleration.

Still a hilarious mutant performance, though :)

for real, who wasn't on the edge of his seat watching that.
would have preferred Rasmussen to test positive later rather than to go out the way he did.

I can't find it, but it was in Roubaix, Cancellara catching a guy in a breakaway who tries to hold his wheel. Canc goes through a couple of corners and accelerates away from the guy while sitting in the saddle. The guy sits up and throws his hands up like "wtf am I supposed to do?".
that was leukemans in 2010.

ca. 6:00 into the next link:

Froome sprinting up Pena Cabarga - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT8DdEdhy0A (at 15:05).

Froome sprints for 20 seconds


Cobo gets back on some how :eek:

Froome had an attack at the Dauphine 2014 that was a 30 second out of the saddle sprint. Not just an out of the saddle attack, a full on sprint he sustained for 30 seconds. Looked absolutely comical considerning it was a few kms from the finish. Was the second attack iirc.

Reminds me of that 30second effort Armstrong put in to catch pantani 2000 Ventoux

Ricco attacking the motorbikes on the Col d'Aspin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVebLm90Qcw (starts at about 32:00).

Bonus vintage Froome interview thrown in at 1:07:32.

Remember earlier before that attack the lads commentating remarked that Ricco looked so comfortable and relaxed going up the climb as he was looking around and just dancing on the pedals? Can't seem to find that part again...

Ah, "The Gift" stage. Armstrong's sprint doesn't seem quite as intense, at least towards the end, but the length is just insane. He decides he wants to get to Pantani so he sprints all the way there for a f.ucking minute, hilarious.

Probably doesn't belong on the list of "biggest jumps EVER" but I was rolling my eyes watching Mikel Landa on the Finestre when he attacked. 10% grade on crappy, bumpy gravel/dirt and he opens up a monster gap on Contador with ease and doesn't even look like he's trying.
