TOUR DE FARCE

Cyclist’s fury after nearly being run off the road by Team Sky tour bus

Cycling team with members including Sir Bradley Wiggins apologises for "unacceptable" monouvre

A CYCLIST has tweeted an expletive ridden video after almost being forced from the road by Team Sky's tour bus.

The Welsh cyclist shared the shocking video of him almost being "taken out" by a bus emblazoned with the logos of Team Sky - which counts Olympic heroes Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins among its members.

Andy Rolfe tweeted the video with the message: "Team sky's bus almost taking me out, sorry about the language, but this needs to go viral for the safety of cyclists."

Mr Rolfe can be heard using expletives and shouting "idiot" repeatedly as the bus narrowly misses him on a winding country road.

The bus also forces a lorry travelling in the other direction to stop while it returned to the correct side of the road after over taking Mr Rolfe.

A car from the team can later be seen giving much more room as it overtakes the bike.

"We've already spoken to the driver and we'll be discussing this with him again in more detail. We will also be speaking to all staff and reminding them of their responsibilities."

Fellow cyclists reacted with horror on social media.
