This was a pro team, no? A bunch of dopers out on a training ride, free to shoot up on whatever performance enchancing cocktails they please, since the team doctor will take care of them (thanks, Lance, for lifting the veil on this little "sporting" charade known as "pro cycling"). An angry pack of roid-raging 20-somethings that think they own the road. Guys who are full of piss and vinegar anyway (and quite full of themselves as well, I'm sure), encouraged by agents, trainers, coaches, the media, and everyone else telling them how "awesome" they are. Little wonder that they are attacking innocent motorists.

Jeff? It's Team Jamis... These guys don't make much over minimum wage. There aren't "agents" and "media" etc. Pro riding at this level is couch surfing, shared hotels, and darned socks, not the Taj Majal.
Hey - did you hear about the guy in the Oldmobile Aurora who became enraged over the 18 wheeler that was going slow up the mountain? Boy he rammed that car into the truck and taught it a thing or too, didn't he? Oh wait...that didn't happen. People don't do that. They take a knock at a pedestrian, or a cyclist or a tiny car, but not anything that will hurt THEM. It's called being a bully.
