Katusha and Direct Energie riders come to blows at the Three Days of De Panne (video)
The Katusha rider appears to take a swing at the Direct Energie rider after a near crash and argument in the bunch, plus our round up of this week's best cycling videos
During a heated discussion, a Katusha rider can be seen taking a swing for a Direct Energie rider on stage two of the Three Days of De Panne.
The two appear to almost collide before having words. The rider in red then swings his left arm out but doesn't make contact with his rival, although we're sure the race commissaires will have something to say about the incident.

SRAM has now released its 1x12 mountain bike groupsets, so questions have turned to whether this could even be applicable to road cycling.
Ascents of Mont Ventoux will always need to range of gears offered by a normal two ring chainset and 11 speed cassette, but what about races such as Paris-Roubaix or the flat Middle Eastern stage races?
On such parcours a 1x could be used to save weight and make maintenance for the teams' mechanics much simpler.

The Tour of Flanders is upon us once again, with riders tackling the Monument Classic this Sunday, April 3.
Here's a look back at the 2015 edition of the race, where Alexander Kristoff was a deserving winner due to his overall strong ride and winning sprint.
It's still unclear what Niki Terpstra was doing taking someone like Kristoff all the way to a sprint, but hopefully any regret about that losing tactic will see the Dutchman lighting the race up this time round.
