Best Bikethrow

[TourOfSardinia]

Why is Millar's toss winning? Its so un-emotional.

Because of the way it went horizontally over the guardrail and then disappeared -he never wanted to see the d.mned thing again. kind of.

 

[Orvieto]

Wiggo's shouldn't even qualify. It's not a throw at all. I'm sure he'd have liked to have thrown the bike, but he simply doesn't have the upper body strength to lift it. Sky's weight loss regimen undermines him here.

 

[Parrot23]

Wonder what the bike co. prez feels like when he sees the $8-12k bike toss, Specialized, Pinarello....

(The Pinarello's asymmetric: must have kept it upright, he's thinking. Superior balance!)

Anyone have some vid. of a rider tossing a Trekkie Burke-mobile, Live and Strong? That would be be fun!

I don't know where you found that, but thank you. Thank you so much.

These are useless without Dusty Rhodes on commentary. "HE GOT A BICYCLE! HE GOT A BICYCLE!"

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!!

Ummmmmmmmmm ....

wow

 

[Ripper]

22 idiots voted for Jiggo's bike push? And several voted for Cav's bike drop?

Good grief.

 

[mewmewmew13]

Voted for Cav!
it's such a PFFFT! hissy fit type of throw...

Wiggo just plain disgusting as I don't like him

 

[Rossco8]

Sir BMW. Nonchalant, classy, unique, iconic, respectful.
Like the man himself.
And dignified as well.

??? classy, respectful, dignified......

Absolutely stunned. What's going on there?

I like the Riis throw.

He tosses it... and then seems to realize... well, that's really childish. He walks to the bike, refuses a replacement, puts the chain back and goes on his way.

Millar's throw is by far the most understandable. He was having a very good chance of winning the stage, busts his balls (literally). I imagine I would have a red veil in front of my eyes as well.

Wiggins is a bit halfhearted disgust which turns out funny, but no real heart in it.

Cav is just disrespectful. The bike is not to blame, so why toss it? The mechanics are already overworked, so why do this. He had some time to reflect before he came at the bus, so there's no spur of the moment excuse. Throwing his toys out of the pram. The only defence I see is that someone like Cav gets strength out of being a sore loser.

I love the Riis throw for these reasons. The way that he is walking after the bike from the moment it leaves his arms is quite amusing. Three weeks of frustration in one bike throw. So furious.

Millar as well is great, was a tough call between those two. From thoughts of glory one second to extreme pain the next. Wish I could see whether or not it makes it all the way down.

[danjo007]

so you've seen wiggans arms... how is he even going to lift that bicycle off the ground? its got to be atleast 7kg!!!

i really think wiggans imagined that bike sailed 50 feet in the air in his own mind.

 

[42x16ss]

Voted for Millar - that was pure rage

Wiggins and Riis' throws were just out of frustration with their machines.

Cavendish's was the temper tantrum of a spoiled d@uchebag.

That Chinese guy has class!

Gyus, there is no Vino option ... or some like this one:
FORT MYERS, FL -
A Cape Coral man was arrested after allegedly throwing a police officer's patrol bike into the river basin in Downtown Fort Myers.

[kiilike]

another competitive

Not bad, but he didn't stick the landing. I'm afraid Wiggins wins this round.

Respectable effort. It was forceful and with real disgust.

edit: but he should have left it in the ditch.
