Chris Froome punches a spectator who starts running next to him

That's one way of clearing the road...

That’s one way of clearing the road.

Chris Froome lost his patience with an annoying fan at the Tour de France. The Team Sky cyclist, who won the stage stage eight of the competition, and claimed the yellow jersey in the process, punched a man decked in all yellow.

Wearing a Colombian football jersey, and carrying the country’s flag, the spectator was running alongside Froome and got too close to the cyclist for comfort.

Froome landed a sharp punch on him, stopping the spectator in his tracks.
