Key events can be any memorable event, for example an impressive victory but also a major crash, bold solo or anything that makes for sporting memories.
In the 1995 edition of Milano-Torino, police officers allowed a four-wheel drive vehicle onto the course by mistake. In the descent of the Colle di Superga, several riders ploughed into the vehicle, with Marco Pantani being the biggest victim. The Carrera Jeans rider who took a bronze medal at the World Championships just 10 days prior, suffered multiple leg fractures and missed the complete 1996 season.
