At Wout and Christophe at the end of Gent-Wevelgem: would like some tea?

For both newcomers and seasoned fans, I’ve put together a selection of ten cycling “memorable” moments. They might not have been the best stages or the greatest days in cycling, but they had something unexpected, unusual, or strange that made them unforgettable.

1997, Disneyland Paris. Final time trial of the Tour. Bjarne Riis tosses his fancy new Pinarello into a ditch.

2003, Col de la Manse. Beloki wipes out on a corner (unfortunately he brokes his hip), and Armstrong dodges him by cutting across the field like it’s nothing.

2013, Giro del Trentino. Few know how to park a bike like Sir Bradley Wiggins.

2015, Gent-Wevelgem. Insane winds. Geraint Thomas gets blown away—literally, like Dorothy’s house in The Wizard of Oz.

2016, Mont Ventoux. After a crash, Chris Froome starts running like he’s in a marathon. Too bad he didn’t bring a pair of sneakers.

2017, Bormio. Tom Dumoulin in an urgent situation. Do you know how hard it is to poop while wearing a cycling bib? Even so, he won that Giro.

2019, Iseran. After an attack by Bernal on the climb, the race is called off during the descent due to landslides on the climb leading to Tignes.

2020, La Planche des Belles Filles. The craziest thing I’ve ever seen. Roglic had it all wrapped up, but a hungry kid swooped in and stole his lunch.

2020, Liège. Alaphilippe messes with Hirschi and Pogacar in the sprint, celebrates too early, and boom—Roglic beats him at the line.

2023, Barcelona TTT, Vuelta a España 2023. It’s raining over the Catalan capital, and it’s way too late—there’s barely any lighting. Evenepoel complains in front of the cameras: We’re not circus monkeys.
