    Like watching people fall over, this is never not funny.

    Pippo, Matthews, Boaro, whoever, it's always funny the celebration for second/one lap early

    But which is funnier?

    a) a rider celebrating a lap too early
    b) a rider celebrating and getting pipped on the line
    c) a rider celebrating without realising a rider up the road has already won

    For me it is always a) as they always put such gusto into it.

    Definitely a. C can be a little tragic if the rider hasn't got the right info from his team car, and there's too much schadenfreude in b.

    A) is also great because of the way the rest of the riders have to come around the "winner".

    Definitely a) as NTD says, it's hilarious to see the other riders head off into the distance, and the realisation dawn in the celebrating rider's face

    Yep, definitely a), in most cases when it happens I'd be thinking 'that was a bit too easy'.

    But strangely they never seem to think that. They always think it's their own brilliance.

    I reckon some do it deliberately knowing they'll get their team some publicity. Especially the riders in smaller teams.

    Has anyone ever done it then won the real sprint after? That would be quite cool." Not laughing so hard now"

    This is as close as it gets.. Boaro redeemed himself today in the best possible way by winning the queen stage of the race.
