This has to be the best put down we've see in world cycling on The Twitter Machine!
Marcel Kittel has already enjoyed a great Dubai Tour taking the opening two stages and the leader's jersey. However, he was missing from the podium today when his compatriot John Degenkolb took stage 3 in a group sprint.
Kittel had endured a bit of unwanted drama on the sandstorm-hit stage when he was elbowed in the face in a row with Andriy Grivko of Astana.
He was thrown off the race after Kittel was left with a bad cut to the eye and blood streaming down his face.
And after the stage Kittel took to Twitter to say he wouldn't accept an apology from Grivko. He then went off and Googled his new nemesis to find out he was 70kg.
And then he fired out a photo of himself superimposed on a photo from Rocky with the following line: "And I just googled Grivko and it said he is 70kg. Dude, know your limits!!"

I won't accept an apology for this. That has nothing to do with cycling. What Grivko did is a shame for our beautiful sport. pic.twitter.com/vvMN5LzQN0
