How to win a sprint with a bike throw - not

And to think, most lucky fans only get the occasional musette or water bottle.

If you happen to be around when David Millar has a mechanical you just might score a complete bike. You'll have to add a new chain, of course.

AWESOME

That looks exactly like a guy I used to ride with a lot. (He was a sprinter too;)

On one ride his chain came off about 10 times, and on each of the last 5 times (at least) he would hurl his bike *just* like David did. I never really wondered why the chain kept coming off after seeing abuse like that.

As hilarious as that is, I wonder if his (David's) sponsor appreciates that sort of publicity?

I was talking to a friend at work about this clip, and trying to explain the work/effort involved with just getting to the position in the race that David was in when this happened. The best comparison/analogy I came up with (to put it in terms he can understand better) is:

It is like building a house (imagine all the planning, preparation, and work involved) then when you are nailing on one of the last shingles, the entire house suddenly crumbles beneath you.

Screw him

Pretty funny

I have been anti Millar not because he got caught doping but because since coming back from suspension he does endless interviews complaining about the dopers. Hypocrite

He is more likable with his mouth shut.

That is funny

I never really liked him all that much, but I could appreciate his performances (even though drugs were involved). I am not ashamed to say it either (I have always believed that a lot of amazing performances were drug induced, but enjoyed them anyway).

It will be the icing on your cake if he gets busted again.
