Videos: 3 riders lose their temper at Worlds; throwing & robbing bottles

Marcel Kittle throws a water bottle at one of the passing team vehicles in just one of four heated incidents captured on film.

 

The desert heat of Doha has been a major talking point of this year’s world championships and staying hydrated has been the biggest concern for the riders.

And in the longest event of the week today, the men’s elite road race, tempers and temperatures ran a little high.

Belgian Iljo Keisse was rightly cheesed off when a Swiss rider grabbed his bottle at an impromptu feed zone today.

And German's Marcel Kittel and John Degenkolb were also fuming with the driver of one of the team cars.

Kittel threw a bottle at the vehicle, part of which flew into the air and back towards the bunch if you look closely.

And Degenkolb seemed to give the driver the finger and would later squirt water at one of the Belgians.
