WTF was up with Lance's bike throw on TTT?

[Theodore Heise]

Okay, the finishing group gets the time rider five finishes. Why
would the leader throw his bike crossing the line?

I often finish intense intervals with a bike throw and a shout, feels
good. Living in the moment.
When Lance did his little toss in the TT I was like hell yeah he's into
it. He really does seem to love extreme physical efforts.

Exactly! He's into it. He's definately not just going through the motions
at this tour. His eyes have as much fire in them as ever and his body
language ... as gauged by little things like that bike throw ... suggest to
me he's there to kick ass just like last year. No gifts.

Exactly so. At the time I thought the move looked dorky, but
after reading that post I think fredly is a more fitting term.

Are you sure you're doing your intervals hard enough ?
