Degenkolb Loses the Plot as He Lost the Race

Degenkolb fought till the bitter endJohn Degenkolb was extremely frustrated in Sunday's world championships. Kittel and Greipel, missed the decisive split on the desert roads, that saw the front group containing Sagan, Cavendish, Boonen and Van Avermaet slip away, never to be seen again.

Degenkolb who made the selection, unfortunately punctured out of the lead group and hooked back up with teammate Greipel - chasing down the leaders. However the Belgians in the group became disruptive on purpose, as they had Tom Boonen and 5 teammates up front.

With 60km to go and the gap growing, Degenkolb lost his cool, finally grabbed his water bottle and squirted water into Belgian Debusschere’s face for unsportsmen like behaviour.

The second group was finally pulled out of the race, Degenkolb collapsed from fatigue and Marcel Kittel was in tears.
