Strange this hasn't been posted yet. Very impressive solo attack from far out and riding away from guys like Nick Nuyens, Fabian Cancellara and Thor Hushovd.

Awesome win yes, but the devastating attack bit is lacking a bit IMO, no-one else played their cards that early.

I seem to remember Jalabert's attack in MSR on the Poggio was something else but I can't find any footage. Fondriest's wasn't bad either.

I think someone's mentioned Bertogliati in the Tour.

I liked Luc Leblanc's monster gear attack on Les Arcs too.

For me the most explosive attacking rider prior to Gilbert was Bettini, maybe followed by Rebellin. But there's loads I've forgotten, bad memory see..

Which was the Contador TdF attack when he almost overshot an uphill hairpin? What that Verbier? The youtube clip earlier doesn't show that bit

 

[will10]

Not sure if this one's been mentioned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFNvaPfV-w

Softening up attacks from Rebellin and Cunego then: boom.

See post #164 from El P. I think that is what you are looking for

 

[OJ....]

When it comes to uphill attacks or "attacks", Riis on Sestriere is by far the best. Classics attacks, either Tchmil P-R 1994 or Tafi in Arenberg

feels good to revive my own threads lol

well we got a new entry.a huge one.
the witnesses:
romain bardet:"when he left,he was on the big ring"
sylvain georges:"when he attacked,it was crazy!we were at the time at 17 km/h,he was at 29 km/h honestly.at the moment of the attack,we were on a 10% ramp.i was saying to myself he will calm down but he kept the rhythm"

romain bardet:"a world tour team can take him after this"

hmmm so can we see next year a battle royale JTL-gabrovski in le tour?only god knows...

until then the images of the supersonic,pantani-like attack.he put 10 seconds faster than can you say "attack".check the motorbikes

lol, I was just searching for this thread to revive it after the Gabrovski annihilation yesterday!

Hopefully this wasn't posted:
Sagan 2010 Paris-Nice

J Rodriguez in Fleche Wallone. 1 man going twice as fast as anyone else.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

ivailo grabovski yesterday. The way he sprinted out of that group

 

[classicomano]

Hahaha that Grabovski attack is ****ing nuts!

Evans - Mendrisio 2009 - best timed and against the best riders, if not necessarily the most spectacular!

 

[B_Ugli]

Maybe not the most devastating but one of my favourites

Fondriest at San Remo in 93

Gibert at San Sebastian last year it's a pretty cool one....
and also Gilbert at the Eneco Tour in the stage that he won

 

[Bavarianrider]

The greatest clean performance in cycling?

Phil Gilbert's 2009 Lombardy week. 3 awesome kicks.

Gilbert in 2009 was able to win clean?
2009 the year when Cera use was at it's top. Seriously?

Keep this thread out of the clinic, please.

 

[meat puppet]

I always thought that was 2008.

Anyhow, Sastre's Alpe d'Huez was rather devastating on the road but its repercussions have been much greater. Probably they feed a couple shrinks even today.

Keep this thread out of the clinic, please.

anyone who is saying x or y did it clean is asking for it though

I don't know if this one is posted already: Riccardo Ricco at the Aspin.

Enjoy, and don't mind too much about all the dope stuff

Wow, that's amazing. They're all like "Wtf was that? What just happened?"

Giro 2004, Damiano Cunego takes stage 18 on the Borimo 2000 climb, this is after they climbed the Gavia. If I remember right Damiano was supposed to lead out Simoni to aid him to take the Giro even though Damiano was in the leaders jersey at the time. They (team) kept saying Simoni was the teams leader and Damiano the domestique. Remember this is going uphill!

(jump to 2:07:00, or if you have 2 hours to burn watch it all)

I don't really call that an attack so much as a sprint finish.
