PETULANT PRATT

I could completely understand his frustration. While I don't think he would have been able to best Brutt yesterday, he still wanted to have a chance.

I would have wanted to do the same thing if suddenly, in the heat of a race, your frickin' bike malfunctions and you're out instead of losing by actually fighting it out.

I don't know, other riders in the break said he was the strongest. I think he might have won, and I would have really put on a show if it were me....I think he restrained himself quite well.

As I was giving the bike a thorough wash last night, I watched the 1997 Tour, and started trying to compare Riis' bike toss in the finall TT to Millar's. Millar threw his over the barriers and down a hill, so the increased air time was nice. However, Riis' Pinarello Blade cuts through the wind on a horizontal axis just as nicely as it does vetically. Its a tie.

Really, throwing midets is much more fun though..

Nice throw... :D

Nice throw... :D Bike frisbee anyone? Bummer for Millar.

I bet the team bike sponsor, Felt, was really happy with the stunt.

I do not think it is a big deal. It happens, and everyone knows it was a broken chain, nothing to do with the frame. More media attention for the team, after all. Any news is good news...

Felt will be happy with how long it stayed in the air. LOL
