My favourite has to be from the tour series this year.. Kneisky thinking he'd dropped everyone on the climb and then Jon Mould nipping around him for the win0

Erik Zabel wins this. Unlike that years edition of Milan San Remo. Hyuck hyuck."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

This one, featuring the controversial Lance Armstrong (sorry!), is quite entertaining. That's his daughter that he ignores immediately after the finish line.

I'm amazed it doesn't happen more regularly given how many riders sit up to celebrate.0

As a counter-point I loved Adam Yates not realising he had won the San Sebastian Classic

Cycling has many fine examples of this, but the best example is still from snowboarding. Lindsey Jacobellis crashing while showboating on the last big jump to celebrate a certain Olympic gold medal.
She had the temerity afterwards to claim that she wasn't showboating, just grabbing the board to stabilise it....0 -

These are hilarious. Apart from the Armstrong one, that's just Lance being a massive chump.Correlation is not causation.0

I know it's a different sport, but this football penalty is a classic (start at around 0.23):

If we're allowing other sports, not quite a celebration, but Steve Mcmahon's "one minute" finger wagging, Anfield '89 takes some beating. *bliss* *nick Hornby in disguise*Warning No formatter is installed for the format0

Different sport again, but how about Molly Huddle in the women's 10,000m at the weekend?

She fell in Sochi last year when going very well, destined never to get an Olympic gold0 -

A close relative to celebrating to early, is celebrating having come second, not realising one of the break survived to win. Pozzato is a notable exponent of this.
Roma Maxima was great !0 -

Frankie Boyle would have had a field day with that on an improv show0
