Apparently Wang was angry not just because he claimed to have been knocked off his bike by the Swiss Team Car, but because he didn’t receive an apology afterwards. You see, Wang is all about good manners.

The Swiss manager Danilo Hondo meanwhile denied any wrongdoing, denied that there was any contact between the car and Wang, and said that his team did indeed try to apologise before Wang put on a black cape, bat-hat and turned into the vigilante warrior we all deserve right now, but not the one we need.

Wang and Team Keyi Look have apologised for the incident now, but at this point that’s kind of like batting your mate’s ice cream onto the ground, licking up the remains and then standing back to slap them in the face for good measure. We’re sure you probably would regret doing that in hindsight, but if there’s video footage, a) people are going to think you’ve lost the plot, and b) rightfully doubt the conviction of your repentance.

Thankfully the authorities were able to ‘deflate’ the situation before the track pump was put to use as a lethal weapon at least, and so all that was thrown in anger in the incident were Wang’s toys, far out of the pram.

Anyway, if you’re a bit of a sociopath and would like to see further examples of road cyclists fighting, then we would a) suggest getting help, and/or b) watching the videos below.
