Best victory salute, ever.
Since this board seems to be dead as of late, especially compared to the TdF days, it's time for a little fun. I haven't yet seen a thread about people's favorite victory salutes, so here it is. Post pictures if you want, and you don't have to choose just one. What are the most memorable, the most unique, your favorites?
I'll start it: no collection of victory salutes is complete without Cipo's "where are you?" win.

its not bad, using a charade of your own last name as your salute's a bit cheezy but I guess it works.

I thought that Bettini's machine gun salute at this year's Worlds was pretty classic ....

That's the one I was waiting for- though it could be interpreted as poor sportsmanship- but what I'd really like to see is someone flipping the double bird in a pro race- to their sponsor's logo- the ultimate negotiation in a contract dispute.

Cipo's long lost cousin

Suprised no one mentioned Pavel Tonkov
Suprised no one mentioned Pavel Tonkov in the 2004 Giro. An aging, mulleted superstar flips off the crowd while winning one of the stages...
