David Millar biffing his bike

[Superiorer]

woot, 10.000 euro flying through the air.

[rokkdinface]

That's a tame reaction compared to how I would have reacted. I got a little pissed off just watching this.

[IcePhoenix302]

There goes $15,000...

[RedheadDane]

Also I read an interview not that long ago in which he claimed that he didn't really get angry... SUUUREE; tossing your bike over a fence is NOT a sign of anger...

[RedheadDane]

What IS it with those guys and tossing their bikes?

Seriously, it's like a sport-within-the-sport!

[ScreamsofBattle]

@RedheadDane he's scottish he thought it was mix with the caber

[oldskoolchevelle]

i wouldve grabbed that bike and took off

[chrisbear08]

Who wants a new bike?

[sprintbass]

ouch

[MrKillerInstinct13]

@BritishWizard why are you picking on belgians ? the dude that posted crackaa was a australian ? Wim Vansevenant made it a sport of being last in the tour in his last tour he needed to do it on purpose because he was 1 min. before an other lad.

btw i'm a belgian if you hadn't noticed :D Sorry for the spelling :D

[JoelTGM]

1 km to go? wow yes fuck that bike id do the same thing.

[joshuas141]

Okay.. its annoying, but theres no need to throw a 10 grand bike around. Millions of people, including me, would die for a bike like that!!!!

[TheMarshal1992]

@joshuas141 You're a prat. Its not about the bike you moron.

[BassInsurgents]

@TheMarshal1992 Lance Armstrong plugging? haha

[roomidoomi]

@joshuas141 you would die for a bike? whats worse, him throwing a bike, or you dying for one. i'd say him, who's a pro, throwing a bike that he gets for free.

[roomidoomi]

@joshuas141 its only 10 grand to non-pro customers. its free to him..

[roomidoomi]

@joshuas141 its only 10 grand to non-pro customers. its free to him.. and worth less if it fails.

[SuperMooMooFarm]

LOL, that's what happens when you run Shimano. My Campy chain lasts 2x longer than the Shimano stuff I used to use.

[d25myaofg]

I would've run down the ravine and gotten the bike and ridden away. 

[Draganus]

@d25myaofg LOL...... My thoughts exactly!

[RSCAnumberONE]

15 000 euro bike ;d

[jdhf983y4uhu]

in BMX when your chain snaps you just run pushing the bike. he should have done that lol.

[roomidoomi]

@jdhf983y4uhu woulda been hard with the big clunky cleats on those carbon fiber soled shoes.

[menfearthought]

I would of done the same thing

[Misterb0z]

This has to be put in perspective. Millar had played a major role in a long, successful break, only to be jumped by Brutt (who had been in everyone's slipstream most of the day) with 1 km to go. Millar was strong enough to respond, but, well, you can see what happened.

This guy really deserves better luck.

[pianistoftime]

chain MADE IN CHINA

[zmeckXD]

la ubiera botado enfrete de mi casa ahhaha

[arklat]

I threw my bike farther than that when I flatted out of a two-up breakaway with Greg LeMond. I had just had my Colnago repainted, and the droputs chromed. When I got a new rear wheel, the quick-release wasn't tight enough on the new chrome, and the wheel pulled out after I got underway again. Man, I was pissed off! I tossed that bike! By the time I got a new bike, the peloton had come and gone. I chased back on, and I got another flat with a mile to go. I just rode in on the flat, at the back.

[GREALDO21]

he used to live in my town!!!!

[DMB206]

I mean, He could've at least done some damage control and thrown it at the Peleton, while waiting for his White Chariot of Aerodynamics

[pwningricky]

this guy use dot go to my skool! coool! kgv school

[kikojacks]

da mucho coraje que te pase esto en medio de una carrera, y mas casi al final

[clownsarecool1]

i would just like to say, if i was 1km from the finish and my chain broke, AND i slammed my balls into the top tube, i would probably throw my bike too. at least he threw it off the course and didnt hit anyone. bad time for a broken chain haha

[mecaesare]

poor millar

[dahgutone]

It must have been a quick link. Those things are horrible if you're a sprinter!!

[sprintbass]

i feel bad for this guy....he came on the scene in 97 with cofidis...he got in trouble and he really has not been as great as the promise he once had...but if my chain broke like that and i had pressure on me..bills life..team expectations and pressures...id probably tossed it to..was he using the new duraace by chance if anyon knows? i think the DI2 is ridiculous..mavic tried with electro shifting 2 times and failed..just give me cables and im happy, THOSE dont run out of batteries:P

[lofi73]

Hehe...I too would throw any bike with DI2.

[cookymonstar]

you guys gotta take it easy, first off the tests are always 100% correct, even if someone were to take epo with no covering agents there is a 15% chance it wouldnt even be picked up. Same gos the other way, it is possible to get false positives. About 1% of the time there is a false positive. So a few of the guys out there are clean. And alot more got away with it.

[xaviqaz]

he was high

[papi2k]

riders should confess before they are caught..

[videolover61]

David Millar doped, got caught, BUT confessed. So im kinda OK with him...but

Tyler Hamilton, Floyd Landis, and Ivan Basso?...oh boy they are on my shit list for good!!!!!!

[Charlienmeg]

But you just said - doped, got caught, confessed.

David Millar is still on my shit list which now includes Di Luca and Astarloza.

Life bans.

[Yarxing]

well Ivan Basso confessed and didn't got caught.. Ivan deserves his spot, but Landis, Hamilton an Vinokourov dont deserve it..

[videolover61]

He knew they were closing in on him!!! He's a jerk!

[Yarxing]

why do you give Millar an other chance? he got caught first, Basso confessed first.. whats the problem?

[MrLance1337]

@videolover61 David made some mistakes...He claimed everyone was doing drugs when he took them, so he was just at a disadvantage to the whole group. Still doesn't excuse his actions, but I do have a lot of respect for the man for being so anti-drug now. Plus, I have a personal autograph from him :)

[videolover61]

@MrLance1337

I hear ya. I think he truly learned that what he was doing was wrong and that was not "the way." If he's speaking out against drug usage in sports, he's a better man...

[roomidoomi]

@videolover61 what about Lance?!

[videolover61]

@roomidoomi

I believe Lance did dope, and he's going to go down at the hands of the US government. That's the only ones who can do it, cause lance was really the most corrupt, and when it all comes out it's going to be deep!!!

[Wutangspam]

@videolover61 I agree. Did it, got caught, owned up. Deserves credit for that in a cycling world of delusional fuckwits. Am about to buy Millars' biography. Should be a good read.

[youmjx42]

Ohhhh right in the pills.....dammnnnn that bike

[chanrobi]

Haha, lmao. I would've doen the exact same thing!@

[dahgutone]

Dam, he should of just coasted it.

[alastair415]

See him hit the top tube as he was about to launch? Ouch! I'd have tossed the bike too!

[stevenkraal]

talking about a atittude :P

haha

[Jonutz1330]

what a fucking boofer.

[MethaMorfin]

i dont even try to speak ur language(i try to communicate wit u any which way.. ),but i try to create words,az far az i'm musician D.crackaa means POOR,looser so do u.Look piple always expect massive performance,from english pipl.what i'm tryn to say iz english pipl they are not success.for mi germany pipl ther are success,i dont lnow how come dat .u even couldnt win world cup football,neither wit scott,wales,N.irland etc...u cant even produce ur own manager D,tahts bullshit

[BritishWizard]

Lets.. have a look at your 1 and only subsribtion.. oh look.. it's porn...

We won 1966, We won 4 stages of the Tour de France, but most importantly we won Two World Wars. And yes, David Millar has got several trophies and several tour de france stages,

so just shut the f**k up.

[stinomagnifico]

It's always the World Wars and 1966 when you English are losing an argument, isn't it?

Except for 1966, England have won fuck all in international football. They didn't even make it to a final, whereas Belgium played in the Euro 80 final.

As for cycling, one Belgian rider has won more races than all English riders in history combined.

By the way, Millar is a Maltese born Scot, hence not an Englishman.

[prettyshady]

ahh yes, but in 1966 we won the world cup... erm....

[KarlLeroyMD]

@prettyshady Anything since?

[HDMGDH]

fucking racist!

[RickyCheseburger]

too bad I-Hop was closed, he wouldnt have tossed his bike!

[MethaMorfin]

all his life (david milla)witout any tirohy,whata poor crackaa english.english pipl they born to loose,,,

[BritishWizard]

LMAO, Mark Cavendish has just won 4 stages while a Belgian, Wim Vansevenant is the last person in the race...

Lol you can't even speak english.. wtf does crackaa mean?? XD

[mattfaulkner]

As a Brit, I ask you to stop being a prat. You would expect a Belgian to make spelling mistakes, at least they speak another language, while you use expressions like 'LOL', 'WTF' and '??', which is not English. How very contradictory.

I am fed up of Brits picking fights with foreigners, they have a much calmer culture in the real Europe, while we binge ourselves to early graves in Ibiza and Tenerefe. Also, Cav is the King of Sprints but overall the Belgians are far superior to us cycling wise.

[dinbolleven]

as a Dane I can't resist to disagree. :3

[BritishWizard]

Yes... I completely agree with you actually, sorry mate. I Guess I was being way out of order by some extent. I had completely forgotten about this comment and I can only apologize for being so outrageously dumb and stupid.

So Thanks, seriously.. my bad lol and I won't do it again.

[NFLreviewUK]

No worries, I must have been in a bad mood. I forgot about it too.

[mattfaulkner]

Woops, wrong account. No worries, I just read what I said, I must have been in a bad mood. I forgot about it too, so no hard feelings.

[kudeljup]

Millar's not even English you genius...

[hiphopsteven]

and there fly's 6000 euro's:P whaha:P nice!!:P

[lalahsghost]

I know this was racing and being that close... but what a bitch. Can't say I blame him on the other hand :\

[MIDNITENOWHERE]

Che sfiga, a meno di 1 km dall'arrivo !

Be, lo capisco, anche io mi roderei il fegato in una situazione del genre. Complimenti comunque a David Millar.
