Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

And now the question:

I could be wrong, but I think they are the 5 "one-dayers"

1 Milan - San Remo
2 Roonde von Vlaanderen
3 Paris - Roubaix
4 Liege - Bastogne - Liege
5 Giro di Lombardia

Five one-day competitions, considered to be the toughest: Paris-Roubaix, Milan-San Remo, Tour of Flanders, Liege-Bastogne-Liege and Tour of Lombardy.

edit - beaten whilst researching. Well done 531Aussie

that's right kids... a young Stuart O'Gready with his first experimental aero position on a UCI-banned plastique monocoque double front wheel Cervelo. Check out the padded shorts - that's not gel inserts, pure Liquigas.
