Mark Cavendish and Gorka Izaguirre Tour of Britain 2015 TV stillVideo: Angry exchange between Mark Cavendish and Gorka Izaguirre caught on TV
TV cameras today caught what can best be described as a heated discussion between former world champion Mark Cavendish of Etixx-Quick Step and the Movistar rider, Gorka Izaguirre.
The incident took place after the pair crashed during the fifth stage of the Aviva Tour of Britain, and although the fisticuffs seem to be confined to the verbal type, it's a fair assumption that Izaguirre's eardrums will have taken a bit of a bashing.
More details of exactly why tempers got so high will doubtless follow, but for now, what do you think Cav is saying to Izaguirre (or vice-versa)? Let us know in the comments below.

Hey Gorka, bet you've never knocked off anyone quite as arrogant and obnoxious as me before. Can i draft you for the next 4 hours? It's what I do best.
Did Izaguirre park his car on today's route?
This has got to be the best thread of responses I've read in a long time. So good!
I think it was something like this:
Izaguirre: You're just too good to be true
Cav: I can't take my eyes off you
Izaguirre: You'd be like heaven to touch
Cav: I wanna hold You so much
etc.
Or may be I'm wrong here...
Izaguirre: Bet you wish you had raced in the 'stupid' Vuelta?
Cav: Oh yeah? How come you didn't make the Movistar team? You must be only Spanish rider over here.
"Look! The b******ds superglued this strap to my chin when I fell asleep last night, you weren't involved were you?"
"I didn't do a thing there..."
No idea but I'm sure 'super' and 'like' featured a lot. Also an impossible number. E.g. "I'm 140% super certain that was your fault like".
Much ado about nothing
This is what happens when you ride with muppets who can't co-ordinate their shoe and sock colours so they match.
Who cares? Just get back on your bike and do your job!!!!
Honestly with the way mark has been lately he is probably complaining that something happened that he initiated and then suffered the consequences. He really has been a whiny little puppet lately.
"Look just help me I can't undo this bloody clip on my own!
" "Go on then leave me just like Renshaw has! 
"
Or maybe not
