Very nice bikethrow this day by Wiggo. Some say that it is the best throw ever, but is it really? There is a big competition against notorious bikethrowers such as Mr 60%, David Millar and king Cav himself Let's vote!!


1)Wiggo at Trentino '13

Millar or Riis, I go with Riis. Because it's funny the way he has to go back to his bike and fix the chain or whatever it was that went wrong with it. Almost like "Screw this bike!" throws bike in anger, "oh, wait I still need that don't I." :eek:
:D

Contadors gentle throw onto a grass verge. Always respect the machine, especially if it costs 12-15 g's.

I don't think the parking job was quite intentional :p.

Wiggo doesn't throw his bike, he sort of just pushes it over with disgust (in both clips of him).

Now Milla' and Riis? Those are bike throws!

Good clip of the takedown of the scooter thieves ... LMFAO!

Millar (if we can't vote for the Chinese guy)!
I find Wiggins' bike throwing skills, and overall personality for that matter, a bit anemic. But I agree that it was less of a throw and more of push to get it out of his sight. In that case he scores well because the darn thing almost parallel parked.

What! No way!

Riis by a long shot! Wiggin's toss was litterally a girly toss the bike did not even bounce off the wall. Millar's wasn't that bad but not much effort considering he had just slammed his testicles. Cav's was just lame and the girly helmet toss afterwards was just way too much of a spoiled kid.

Riis on the other hand, we had anger, great distance and the spin! Was a beauty of a throw.

It was absolutely accordant to his title.
Dignified showing of the fury. No damage done, but the feeling clearly expressed.
Very English and very noble.

Wiggo threw it away with such insouciant disgust that it's hard not to admire his form. Plus it came to rest against upright, which earns automatic style points.

but riis wins. 3 weeks (and probably much longer) of pent up anger all channeled into heaving one poor pinarello as far as possible.
