Quite an amusing article over at Velonews...

http://velonews.competitor.com/2016/06/news/chris-horners-bike-throw-stack_409157

Jack Bauer's wins it for me.

Now that's a 'cycle discipline' I could do well at 🙂

Excellent. To be so angry you can't even kick a water bottle 😆

Wiggins' is my favourite of the lot. Totally agree with the 10/10 Artistry score.

Miller and Wiggins show another hidden talent of the English. Both were pure genius.

Pah, those professionals are mere amateurs in comparison to an old friend whose rim split on a ride, he managed to hurl his pine mountain though a hedge.

Hmm roll of the eyes. Spelling of Millar in that post? Or that Millar (born in Malta, grew up in Hong Kong, and rides for Scotland) and Wiggins (Belgian born) are referred to as English?

Merits to all. Wiggo's is artistry, even through his anger he must have had a moment of thinking 'Wow! That was cool!' Horner's is great for the slomo aspect. Kittel's for the destructive urge, trying to reduce thousands of $ of technology to a pile of coal dust with one throw.

But the clincher is Horner's water bottle kick, that's how toddlers kick, an almost apologetic toe poke. To be so angry you can't even swing the correct leg and send the bottle off with an accompanying spiral of flat coke / highly scientific sugary water. That's apoplexy.
