Title: Fight breaks out after stage 6
Post by: GruB on 10 July, 2010, 08:31:05 am

Caisse d'Epargne vs Quick Step

Rui Costa vs Carlos Barredo

Spain vs Spain  ;D

Rui Costa (Caisse d'Epargne) wrests a front wheel away from Carlos Barredo (Quick Step) after the Spaniard hit Costa with it following the stage 6 finish. Photos  | Cyclingnews.com (http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/photos/fight-breaks-out-after-tour-stage-6/129999)

There are several photos of the throat grabbing, wheel throwing and floor wrestling via the above link.

I have not seen that sort of action at the TdF before.  :facepalm:

There is a video of it on Dutch tv. I'll post a link later. Cyclists in cleats shouldn't fight. Those skinny arms flailing about isn't a good look.

Cyclists really can't do fighting.  Here's a training movie they should study..

No head-butting with helmets, so wheels are next best thing.

Good job they don't carry frame pumps these days.
