American cyclist Brandon McNulty was not seriously hurt in an apparent road rage incident before Tuesday's time trial at the Tour de France in Evian-les-Bains, according to multiple reports.
As McNulty was on his way to the start of stage 16, he was reportedly knocked off his bike by an angry motorist.
McNulty, 28, is a member of UAE Team Emirates XRG and a teammate of overall race leader Tadej Pogacar.
"He was just riding his bike with one car behind him. A normal car, we don't know who they are," team principal Mauro Gianetti told The Athletic. "And when he (McNulty) overtook, he just stopped the car, and Brandon was unable to prevent himself riding into it."
McNulty was examined by the team doctor, and Gianetti told TNT Sports his injuries were "nothing so big and all good."
McNulty started Tuesday's time trial on time as one of the final 20 scheduled riders. Through 16 stages, he ranks 18th overall.
