Cricket Throws

That might sound like a headline on some supermarket checkout stand rag, but its exactly what happened at the end of yesterday's Stage 4 of the TOC. I can hear my coaches, Randy Walker (xXx-Athletico Racing) and Kevin Perez (Turin Cycles, out at Northbrook Velodrome) from last year talking about the importance of a good throw. And sure enough, there's an emailed photo from Randy exclaiming...now that's how you throw.

Still in the dark? A good throw of the bike can divide a winner from the field. A look at this photo shows just how close Paolo "the Cricket" Bettini came to being a runner-up on the day.
