BRITISH cycling star Mark Cavendish had urine thrown at him by a spectator during the 11th stage of the Tour de France yesterday, his team said.
The incident happened during the 33-kilometer individual time-trial, a day after Cavendish was blamed for a collision that sent Argos rider Tom Veelers crashing to the ground in Saint-Malo.
"Probably some spectators were not very pleased with what happened yesterday and they yelled to him and then one other idiot threw urine at him," Omega Pharma team CEO Patrick Lefevere said.
"Mark is not upset, but he is really disappointed because he thinks he didn't deserve this."
