Luka Pibernik would surely like to have this moment back.
The 23-year-old Slovenian began celebrating what he thought was a stage five victory at the Giro d'Italia on Wednesday, not realizing there was still another lap remaining in the race.
Fernando Gaviria of Colombia went on to win the stage, while Pibernik finished in 148th place.
