Marcel Kittel Punched in Face

Dubai Tour: Marcel Kittel punched by Andriy Grivko during stage three - BBC Sport

So apparently Andrei Grivko(Astana) punched tour leader Marcel Kittel in the face today. Anybody heard any back story on this? I know they were in a crosswind and jostling, but it doesn't sound like Kittel did anything unusual or dirty.

Marcel is a big guy, he should have looked for Grivko after the stage was over and beaten the ca-ca out of him. End of problem.

Sorry didn't mean to disrespect. Let's pour one out for our homies on the Catalonian Plains:

And I thought pro cyclist couldn't hurt anyone with their ropy little arms. That is a good amount of blood on Kittel's face.
