Mark Cavendish has apologised after shouting at a team mechanic at the Tour de France.
A Norwegian TV channel showed the Manx Missile complaining to a mechanic about his bike before the start of the 19th stage.
The 36 year old is on course to set a new record for stage wins, having already equalled the 34 victories recorded by Eddy Merck.
After the footage emerged online, he apologised on Instagram, saying "I should not have reacted in the way I did and not so publicly."
