So I saw this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V56O0C8k7GM and it made me think of this since it’s Tour de France:

Since most of us are athletes and fans, who do you side with? Do you think it was okay for Alberto to do that?
Punch? I got hit harder than that in grade school.

Not while putting out 6W/kg for 60 minutes you didn’t.
Of course it is. I don’t think of the d bags that run along side and interfere with riders as fans.
See the guy at the Dauphine (?) this year that pushed a rider from behind, causing him to come out of his pedals, and causing him to lose the breakaway (and maybe the stage).
Lack of commitment on AC’s part. Punch or fight? I’m guessing he picked the one he gets paid to do.
Hahaha that was a funny moment. Would be funny if a guy wearing a cow suit ran next to him this time around… or maybe bull. What type of beef was he eating???

Good choice…have you seen cyclists fight?
It’s aerosol cans this year for the xenon gas…
Do keep up… 
It’s scenes like that making me glad our sport isn’t that popular. Of course, we’d got prosecuted for something like this (not that i personally have the skill to pull of the ‘punch’ or the shoulder block):
When I’m suffering up a long climb, I’m usually doing it in silence. I can’t imagine being in that tunnel of screaming idiots, people throwing water at you, getting right in your face, etc and trying to focus on a climb that hard. Punch away!
I’d like to see one of those ass clowns beaten with a 2 X 4
.
It looks to me like the guy was in doctors’ scrubs and surgical mask and was trying to hand AC some drugs.
Kind of a dick move by the “fan” If you do something like that you should be prepared to get punched.
I’m not saying it right…but I understand.

That is quite a shoulder…that’s gotta hurt at that speed. I kind of feel bad for that guy though because he wasn’t harassing them and deserve it like some of those guys do.

That’s just ugly, neither of them landed a single one of those feathery punches.
Was that intentional? Seems pretty risky to try that. I can see it where the guy was just too far out in the road.

I would go one step further. I wish the lead motorcycle, would be a pair of bikes with about 10 feet of pipe connecting them so that any idiot crowding the riders and acting like a moron would get clotheslined.
It’s hard for me to watch all the morons needlessly interfering with the riders without getting angry and wishing I were there with a plastic whiffle ball bat to discourage such behavior.

Look at where he’s standing. The dumbass deserved every bit of what he got because he’s clearly in the way like a moron.
Did you ever see the clip of the guy running in front of him with a T bone steak hanging from a fishing rod? It was awesome.
