From BH Bike's page on Facebook:
It appears that Coquard either didn't throw his bike at all or horribly mistimed it. Based on the fact that his butt is still planted firmly in his saddle and his arms are extended I'm inclined to lean toward the "he doesn't know how to throw his bike" side of things.
Kittel should have lost that sprint by a good 6-12 inches if Coquard had done his job properly.
