Not very 'pro' of Cav.
I don't mean to pile on, but I have to agree though - not a fan of the sram personally. I thought is was telling that the secret pro even admitted that there is one unnamed component manufacturer that all the pros hate.

So in tennis the athletes get fined for throwing equipment

Riis TdF in 1997?
But I'll admit if your team happens to GIANT-SHIMANO... it's not exactly the best for PR if you decide to slam it onto the ground like that.
i remember in my junior tennis days, my coach would throw anyone out from training and ban him/her for quite a time just for smashing a rocket. it was basically about learning how to loose and respect for the equipment (and money parents spent on us). one time he even told kid's parents not to bring the boy anymore, even though he was one of the most promising kids around. apparently Cav either skipped that sort of lessons or had a momentary lapse of integrity. either way, i'd rather he gave that bike to a spectator or a cyclist in need than turn it into a useless carbon fibre junk :-/
