Fans causing trouble at the Giro d'Italia
One of the most watched moments of this year's Giro d'Italia came when a spectator decided to join the race near the finish of stage two to Genoa. After causing several riders to crash, the spectator made a quick exit stage left as the fallers picked themselves up. It wasn't the only crash caused by a fan during the Giro d'Italia. Daniele Colli was taken down by a fan's camera four days later, which also resulted in Alberto Contador dislocating his shoulder.

Contador v Aru
Despite dislocating his collarbone earlier in the race, Alberto Contador was dominant in the Giro d'Italia's mountains. During stage 16, Astana and Fabio Aru put the Spaniard under pressure following a puncture on the descent from Aprica. Contador didn't crack and managed to reel in what remained of the peloton on the Mortirolo. The tables then turned when Contador attacked and Aru found himself in trouble.

The camera caught the mayhem that followed a huge crash that saw many of their team go down along with race leader Fabian Cancellara.

Crosswinds galore
It was a race that many riders believe should not have been held but the windswept 2015 edition of Gent-Wevelgem provided us with some gripping television images. The strong crosswinds that battered the peloton resulted in several riders ending up in the roadside canal while Geraint Thomas did a somersault off the bike in the break but managed to regain touch to finish third.
