Which race has the most beautiful trophy in road cycling?

[42x16ss]

Paris-Camembert

Damn! You beat me to it

 

[El Pistolero]

Too bad we can't see the fourth one on that pic.

If we're talking about SHEER AWESOMENESS nothing comes close to Tirreno trident...

EPIC.

 

[King Of The Wolds]

P-R, obviously. A real man's trophy.

Ah garzellis ta win. Forgot about it but that was one ****ing awessome edition. Tremendous year for rcs races.

 

[Alphabet]

Tirreno looks so cool.

 

[the asian]

obviously the Giro trophy and PR cobblestone. T/A gets third.

Out of the ones not on the list San Sebastian one isn't too bad.

The ASO ones are the worst. No originality as usual.

[Parrulo]

Giro trophy is horrible as hell.

Tirreno, no comment.


There's only one trophy that matters in cycling.

Wanted to make a new thread, but found out there already was one (two actually) which kind of fit the bill. I didn't specifically want to discuss the most beautiful trophy, just trophies in general. Anyway, here are some pictures of the latest GT winners holding their biggest trophies.

Vingegaard with his TDF trophy:

Hindley winning the Giro:

Evenepoel with his biggest trophy in San Juan:

​

There is also a race in Spain that uses something they found at some home-deco store as trophy. They once used to give a cool fish bowl, which could at least double as a salad or candy bowl, but budget cuts forced them to downsize. The decades before that, the Vuelta trophy looked mostly like something you'd like to get rid of in a yard sale.

Probably wouldn't have banned you for starting a new thread

For me a good trophy stands out without being obnoxiously big, which is often what smaller events do.

So for me it's Giro > Tirreno > Paris Roubaix.

[saunaking]

duh. the giro and its not even close. the PR cobble is only beautiful because of the race. the giro trophy would be amazing if it was for a fishing competition

 

[Potomac]

P-R, it rocks!

 

[Big Doopie]

Worlds.

You then get to wear the trophy for a whole year!

 

[Sandisfan]

Sorry about liking ancient thread posts thought it was new LOL But I do agree with the general consensus Giro-PR-TA.

Edited to acknowledge this thread was before I found this Wonderful-Weird Forum with Wonderful, Weird and Fun contributors.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

While it's not technically a trophy, the winner of San Sebastian gets a sweet txapela.

 

[Cookster15]

The Giro trophy is most beautiful that I am familiar with.

PR is the most iconic. You simply can’t describe a block of pavement as beautiful.

T/A is also more iconic than beautiful.

Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne:

Tour of Norway:

Paris-Camembert:

Tour of Turkey:

Tour of Austria:

Tro Bro Leon:

last but not least:

Giro - most beautiful
Paris Roubaix - most iconic
Hansgrohe shower system - most practical

The Milan-Sanremo trophy appears to be shrinking
