Quote of the Day

After Italian cyclist Elia Rigotto was disqualified from the Tour Down Under on Friday for causing an accident that left Australia's Mathew Hayman with a broken collarbone as a result of him headbutting Haymam in a sprint less than 1,000 yards from the finish line, Tour Down Under chief commissioner Michael Robb told Australian media:

"It was a severe headbutt, a very serious incident. It was one of the worst headbutts I've seen in a very long time."

1) Is there anything less than a "severe" headbutt?
2) Exactly how many headbutts has this guy seen?!

UPDATE: Here's the crash.
