Best Moments of the 2012 Season

[thom]

my best moment is tied at wiggo leading out cav on the Champs, that stage win for cav and wiggo after the olympic time trial cycling through the crowd!

;-) You beat me to it ! it took me all that time between posts to compose my pontifications !

Millar's stage win in TdF and Hesjedal's riding, and eventual win, in the Giro.

for me the commentary is fantastic, watched it live, could hear 6 year old son telling his Ma "Da's shouting at the tele again..."

+1

Another great moment was when @richp posted a story about McQuaid losing the USADA doc in a Dublin pub and somebody believed it...

Standing back from the overall international scene, some great rides done, I just have to think what a wonderful problem GB has with all the success this year, and looking at the juniors and academy riders both male and female, can see it's very likely to continue (results from TWC Cali on cyclingnews). Awful to have to decide who is best - I wonder who will win what at the BC awards bash, bet whoever has to decide that will have a massive headache! There might be afew the morning after, as well....

Grabowski's incredible ride in the T of Turkey! Turkey indeed!

Hard to pick, but great though Millar's win was, I still get an unhealthily high heart rate when Cav is gearing himself up for a winning sprint. I'm going to wear a HRM next year
So stage 18 for me.
