Temperatures flared at stage 6 of the Tour de France 2010 when, after the race was over, Carlos Barredo (Quick Step) and Rui Costa (Caisse d’Epargne) began fighting one another over an alleged violent elbow thrown by Costa into Barredo’s ribs, nearly causing the latter to fall. Both riders were fined 400 Swiss francs (just about the only currency that’s not depreciating these days).
