London Irish player Juan Leguizamon: pulls a Jacobellis. With a twist of Patrick Stefan.
Fingers crossed that all the Argentinians do similar if they get a chance on the 30th of Sept :)

I guess it also has a smidge of this guy (unknown footballer) and a hint of Mansell.

Start showboating after you cross the line.

I didn't know John Leguizamo played rugby.

JJ -- outstanding link. I cannot believe the guy threw the cyclist over the edge.

I know! I saw the edge early in the clip and thought "careful there!" and then when he threw him over, I uttered a small cry of disbelief, and then heaved a huge sigh of relief as I saw there was a river below. Then I watched it a few more times and began to wonder if the whole thing was staged.

Firstly, he looks like there wasn't really much need for him to push the other guy who wasn't overly in his way, then, when he first gets pushed across the road by the spectator, it looks like he almost tried to throw himself over the edge (or maybe he was trying really hard not to stand on his own bike) before the guy got hold of him again and tossed him off (so to speak). Not sure. Funny either way!

Like Stefan, he was somewhat redeemed in that his team won the match.
