Mark Cavendish post pee-break 2016 Tour de France (Eurosport Twitter video still).PNGVideo: Mark Cavendish pissed off with TV moto
If you're a regular TV viewer of the Tour de France, you'll be familiar with the scenario; one of the jersey wearers, or a big-name rider, is spotted trying to get back to the peloton, and immediately there's speculation as to whether he crashed, or had a puncture or some other mechanical.
Often, there's a far simpler explanation though, as evidenced by this footage from today's Stage 10 to Revel when Mark Cavendish was seen chasing back on.
The Dimension Data rider, non-plussed, tells the moto rider and cameraman, "I took a piss," repeating the phrase for added effect ... followed by Eurosport UK's Carlton Kirby translating that for viewers as the Manxman having taken "a comfort break."
WARNING: Mark Cavendish has some strong words for this cameraman... #TDF2016 https://t.co/GvGUpC6JZA

I would hope he took a note of their kit and will write to their local club demanding an apology?
I would like to know what the police actually do for anyone today?...
Do I have to wait until I'm hit before Essex Police do anything ?...
Its only cyclists. The CPS would charge it as poaching.
I would agree it is a real concern for some. However cycling safety is a real concern for most people. So much so that they don't cycle at all. ...
It's worth pointing out that those excuses aren't necessarily incompatible. For respraying, a bare frame would have been needed. Good customer...
At least he didnt go as far off course as No 35.
