British cyclist Chris Froome punched an overzealous fan during Saturday's 8th stage of the 2016 Tour de France.
The defending champion was in the middle of a pack of racers riding up a mountain in the Pyrenees when a fan decided to run alongside them. Froome apparently felt the fan was a little too close, and without breaking stride, he threw a left hook to stop the fan in his tracks.

Froome clearly doesn't mess around, as he came on strong later in the stage to earn the yellow jersey as the race leader.
