Which race has the most beautiful trophy in road cycling?

[Max Rockatansky]

The Milan-Sanremo trophy appears to be shrinking

That's why you call it shrinkflation.

Wasn't there gummy bears in bodyweight for the winner of the Classic Haribo? No wonder this race doesn't exist anymore, when Jaan Kirsipuu coming out of offseason, is a three time winner.

Tour of Cali also quite nice.

And I also remember this price...

Probably for the best.

Is it the same piglet?

In two of the photos the piglet is wearing an ID badge but I can't make out the names so it's hard to tell

Yeah, I tried to zoom in on the fourth one, but it was pigxelated.

Oh, dear...

Oh, dear...

Well that's the sort of material you'll get on a Thursday night.

 

[RedheadDane]

Well that's the sort of material you'll get on a Thursday night.

Timestamp says 1 AM, so it was actually very early on a Friday morning!
But I guess that's the sort of material we'll get when you're sleep deprived!

Well I don't think 1 AM in the morning, But I am an early bird and a night owl. So I'm wise and I have worms.

I wonder does Fabian have a favourite Strade trophy?

Yeah, that ToC one is much better than the one they gave for stage victories

Aaah, the "Bring Your Own Trophy" category of trophies!

And as Lorena Wiebes showed during the Tour de France (femmes); you don't even need to have taken part in the creation of said trophy!

Cycling trophies are so crap.
It's amazing that in amongst tons and tons of utter shte the Giro managed to commission one of the best trophies in any sport.

 

[rallybanana]

The second and third-place medals for Paris-Tours are more interesting than the winner's trophy. If I was in taking part I would definitely try and finish third to get that nice bronze autumn leaf medal.

Judging by Angel Madrazo's reaction, this is the best cycling trophy of all time

More fun than bacon.

 

[dennisdy]

the giro by far!

 

[Potomac]

I haven't researched it, but I'm sure you get crabs for winning the Maryland Classic.

 

[Cookster15]

Shared my opinion on this when the thread started. Since it has been bumped:

#1 Giro
#2 T/A

Getting crabs isn't something I want to experience!
