We've seen horses run into pelotons and even dogs cause chaos at races when they stray into the road. But the video below was a new one to us; a bull charging down the road and forcing a peloton of riders to turn around and flee.
The incident occurred at the Tour Por La Paz stage race in Guatemala as the riders were all set for the fifth stage today.
The poor animal ended up on the road and when it saw an official on a motorbike doing a U-turn in a bid to get away, the bull charged after him before turning his attention to the riders.

Once the group saw the charging animal coming towards them they turned and headed the other way. Thankfully there were no injuries reported and the racing was able to proceed.
The stage was won by Costa Rican rider Bryan Jiménez by five seconds from Colombian Luis Fernando Jimenez.
