The video is filmed from inside a car. One of the men in the vehicle leans out a window as they catch a cyclist up ahead.
The cyclist is in his full kit and appears to be out training.
As the vehicle passes, the man leaning out the window leans forward and pushes the cyclist.
It sends the cyclist hurtling off the road and into the ditch at speed.
Laughter can then be heard inside the car as the vehicle continues and the clip stops.
It was unclear at the time of writing if the cyclist had suffered serious injury or whether he had reported the matter.
