    What do you think are the best sporting events in the world?

    For me I would say:-

    Tour de France
    Ashes Boxing Day test
    Other two cycling grand tours
    Wimbledon men's singles final.

    Ryder Cup and the Wimbledon final definitely.

    I suppose it depends what sports are your favourite. For example, there's no chance 2 cycling events would be anywhere near this list for me.
