Police seek Cheltenham races reveller who 'rugby tackled' cyclist

Okay its a long time ago but I iam a passionate anti-race resident and I just want to thank Road.cc for being literally the ONLY media outlest to report this incident. 

I have written an article for Nicely Put that damns the races and things like this. Included is how sickening it was that a man was ignored by his local press due to a reported blanket ban on negative stories regarding races and racegoers in Cheltenham. Just thank god Roadcc had the journalistic integrity that various publications far bigger than it seemed to be lacking. I have detailed further here in said article, but suffice to say, I contacted all local papers, including the Gloucestershire Echo and others via Gloslive and none were available to comment.

So remember this is how the town treats cyclists. Cyclists almost murdered whilst engaging in the lethal and treacherous endeavour of GOING HOME.

Not even NEARLY good enough Cheltenham

Thanks again RoadCC

Hopefully there will have been lots of crowd pics from social media and the papers ? 

I'm sure they'll find the attacker. 

Of course he'd get off even lighter if he claims he was driving an invisible car! Assuming he wasn't breathalised, as then it wouldn't be so good if that proved he was over the limit.

What a mixed up country.

I avoid York when the races are on. Too much human detritus like that about.

If he gets could he'll get a slap on the wrist and complaint about exceptional hardship, which is way less than the poor sod he jumped on.
