Which is the best exhibition of the last five years?

So the question is easy. Which is the best exhibition of the last five years?

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Also this year. Nairo Quintana in the queen stage of Route Du Sud. Jakob Fulgsang in Österreich, Thomas De Gendt in the Stelvio stage of the Giro D' Italia, Domenico Pozzovivo in Punta Veleno, Philippe Gilbert in the Worlds, Bradley Wiggins in Bourg-en-Bresse (Dauphiné) and the ITTS of the TDF...

 

[Jason_Mercier]

Mauricio Soler Briançon 2007, Vasil Kiriyenka Finestre 2011, Thibaut Pinot Porrentruy and Monts - Jura 2012, Peter Sagan Seraing 2012 and Córdoba 2011, Mikel Nieve Val Di Fassa 2011, Mikel Landa Lagunas Neila 2011, Fabian Cancellara RVV 2010...

 

[RHRH19861986]

2007: Rasmussen, Aubisque
2008: Gilbert, Het Volk
2009: Contador, Verbier
2010: Cancellara Flanders-Roubaix
2011: Gilbert, Amstel-FW-LBL
2012: Boonen E3-GW-Flanders-Roubaix; Sagan Tour of Cali (especially the stage where he punctured 7 km to the line and still won the mass sprint)

I think Froome / Cobo clash on Cabarga was the best in terms of spectacle.

Why is Valverde in Plumelec on the list and not Evans in Montalcino? That stage is regarded as one of the best GT stages in many years and doesn't even get nominated!

Of course i remembered the Montalcino stage. One of the top5 stages of the decade. But i dont find the exhibition of Evans anywhere.

So the question is easy. What is the best exhibition of any rider in the last five years?

And what does that mean?

The top 3 riders cunego vino and Evans on the stage. Did they attack eachother at any point? Is beating cunego in a sprint really more of a performance for the ages than guys like schleck degendt nieve etc doing 50k tts through the alpes ?

 

[Jason_Mercier]

And what does that mean?


You know what it means.

 

[ILovecycling]

Voted Boonen Roubaix 12...Verbier 09,Flanderen 10 and Zoncolan 10 are terrific too.

 

[jens_attacks]

zoncolan 2007
leo piepoli on signora della guardia and oropa
tourmalet 2010(more because of the watts,not the outcome)
cancellara 2010 roubaix and flanders
tommeke 2012 roubaix
lele sella's breakaways in 2008 giro
verbier
phil on huy 2011
wiggins itt at the olympics
alberto itt at annecy 2009
cobo angliru's
purito collet d'allevard
andy on the road to galibier


cobo vs froome at the pena cabarga was the bomb though. even if didn't last long

 

[Pippo_San]

Col de Peyresourde - stage 15 - Tour de France 2007.
The fly of the last motorbikes.

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Ivan basso 2010 MZ where grown as$ men cried haha

 

[Jason_Mercier]

LOL i wrote What instead of Which. Kill me.

 

[Jakob747]

Other suggestions!

J. Rujano on El Escobero and two days later on Alto de la Letras was truly, truly epic.

Fabio Duarte on Alto de la Linea also deserves a mention. In the last 5kms he put minutes into everyone. The clock is ticking, but I still believe F. Duarte is a very rare talent. 2013 is make or break!

Vuelta a Colombia 2009 was absolutely spectacular.

Lol right. It had to be #1 slot of previous five years.

I think the conditions made it a classic stage. With Vino and Evans pushing it along at the front. Not dramatic, just a real hard stage in miserable conditions.

pretty much what you said

 

[phanatic]

My vote goes to Cadel Evans Galibier 2011, who grabbed victory from the jaws of defeat. This was Zoncolan leveled, Verbier vanquished, RvV caught and passed, Sastre undone: I will never forget the way Cadel dashed Andy's hopes, and he repeated it the next day on the same mountain for emphasis.

 

[Ferminal]

Contador Manse.

 

[LaFlorecita]

I agree with jens Albertos annecy tt, also fuente de and verbier of course, I will vote for Fuente dé

Can you post the watts here?I didnt see them

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Philippe Gilbert Liege 2011 was a brutal performance. Gilbert made the competition cry, literally.

In context Contador's Fuente Dé 2012 ride was significant.

Voted for Cancellara's P-R 2011 excellent display in the end.
