What is your pick for the best edition (however you define best) for any of the spring classics?


Milano-Sanremo, really just how do you make the last 20 minutes exciting... maybe the Nibali solo victory, or the 3 up sprint between Sagan, Allaphilipe and Kwiatkowski.
2015 hurricane edition would be my pick for Gent-Wevelgem

Others?

Any of Cancellara's. ;)

Seriously, 2006 Paris-Roubaix, 2008 Milan-San Remo, and especially the 2010 Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubiax, '13 Flanders... Any time a solo cyclist is able to hold off the peloton, you've got to give respect.

That 3 up sprint finish is one of the best cycling photo's ever!

The Haussler/Cavendish sprint was more exciting in MSR. The three up Kwiatkowski won was just a mess. Cav's win was art.

Sean Kelly's 1992 San Remo was more incredible too. But for sheer pagentry, the snow MSR of 2013 is surreal.

1994 Roubaix, watching the elastic snap for Museeuw on trying to bridge to Tchmil is incredible.

1994 Fleche Wallone, cuz drugs. Holy crap drugs.

2011 LBL

Schleck brothers blow it in the final 3-5k against Gilbert. Still baffles me how they managed to throw that one away.
