He was originally charged with assault with a weapon and dangerous driving, but the judge found him not guilty of assault.

Fayle was given an 18-month conditional sentence. ordered to perform 80 hours of community service and had his driver's licence suspended for a year.

The court was told that Fayle was arguing with two other cyclists just before the incident.

Rowland suffered a collapsed lung and ankle injury, and had to have shoulder surgery.
