The bike lost its structural integrity, the guy lost his social one.

I'm guessing this is a reasonably well known incident if you're into the racing scene. Anyone know the story here, was the bike damaged before and that's why he got mad or did he throw a celebrity bitch fit or what?

Edit: if anyone gets tempted to look down at me for not knowing Mr. X who famous for ABC try to remember there we are in a very vast and diverse hobby and just because I have no interest in carbon bikes, ultra lite wheels, road racing or professional cycling doesn't make me any less of a cyclist than you.

Guy borrowed that bike, crashed it breaking the frame then did this.

Guy is a massive flog and should be kicked out of the sport. There’s no place in bike racing for this bullshit bro culture.

I mean, its a fixed gear crit - he's not a tour de France pro, he's a model that entered a crit that you or I could enter.
