There are some very important 'torsion motivic' statement: the calculation of Suslin's homology, Milnor and Bloch-Kato conjecture (proved by Voevodsky). Also, the proof of the latter statements uses algebraic cobordism and motivic cohomology operations, which do not work integrally.
Also, I believe that Steenrod's operations should be important for algebraic topology, but I do not know anything about that.
