2009 Tour de France - Final Lap of the Champs-Élysées, Paris

Just watched the youtube video

Amazing last couple of kilometres - the tactics and delivery from the Columbia-HTC guys was incredible. At the 1K mark Hincapie sprints away with Renshaw and Cavendish behind him (they know something like this is coming) - away from the Garmin train who looked shocked. Then Hincapie so strong, peels off just before the final corner (), Garmin come back but Renshaw powers back just ahead of them, gets to the apex first with Cav in tow - Garmin hesitate/brake and its all over - brilliant!
