I remember reading once about a rider who felt hard done by in a sprint, sat up, and lobbed his bottle at another rider, a cracking shot, hitting him on the head. He was someone quite famous but I can't remember who or what race.
Anyone know what i'm talking about?

Magic, thank you.
Quality bottle (and teddy) throwing by both of them.
Anyone notice the rider getting hit on the head by an empty thrown from a switchback above, during a mountain stage of last year's Giro?0 -

Yup - he won a couple of stages at the Rás last year. He's even older than the Shack coffin-dodgers.'This week I 'ave been mostly been climbing like Basso - Shirley Basso.'0 -
No bottle throwing but there were fisticuffs in the sprint (and after) at the Tour of Turkey yesterday.Cannondale Supersix / CAAD9 / Boardman 9.0 / Benotto 30000

That's what got me thinking about the bottle thing.
Watching skinny cyclists in lycra trying to have a punch-up is quite peculiar.

I think the XG rider got the wrong Colnago rider at first didn't he?

Cyclists fighting is too funny. Cleats realy don't help:
