Your most favourite cycling memorable moment (youtube links added)

There is only one thing that puts a tear in my eye and that is cycling memorable moments.

My favourite moment other than the obvious Floyd Landis 1996 attack, was probably Jens Voigt's ride in last years tour where he took the front up this mountain and dropped off most of the peloton. He really put in the hurt. The pure grit of the guy was amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UncELpyKQLU

Indurain's attacking ride with Luc Leblanc in the 1994 TdF to catch Pantani and end the tour for the rest of the contenders. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zVoNIKl1Ks was also very interesting

The constant Roche, Delgado duels in 87 were also right up there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BrvsSOs920

Favorite moments......hummm..so many. Alpe is absolutely right about Greg's 8 second TDF win. Hampsten's wrangling of the Giro in '88 is right up there too. Since I'm a classics guy, I've always favored the punchy springtime protagonists, one of my all-time favorites being Michele Bartoli.

Bartoli attacks the Muur, '96 Ronde.. in fact, anytime Bartoli attacked was a thing of beauty.

Vandenbroucke's win in 1999's Liège-Bastogne-Liège, after announcing he would win. The head to head duel with Bartoli on La Redoute, timeless.

Vandebroucke's Avila stage win in 1999's Vuelta, I couldn't believe my eyes, a Belgian this kind of thing again in a GT.

Johan Museeuw highlights, especially his world championship title and 1996's Paris-Roubaix.

Tom Boonen's 2005 world championship title. 2005 was an epic year for every Belgian cycling fan. First the double Flanders-Roubaix, stagewins in the Tour, and then this. Especially the way it all seemed lost, but Nuyens and Van Petegem managed to get Boonen back in front with a monstrous effort. That swoop to the left out of Valverde's wheel, and then sprinting unstoppably to victory. I swear, my heart raced to 180bpm at least :D
