View Full Version : Request for details: Sierra and Gonzalez Arrieta

A TV show was made from video recordings of guys crashing
during athletic stunts, plus interviews with the principals.
The usual stuff where the guy takes his mountain bicycle
off a shear cliff, and seven weeks later when the concussion
and memory loss wear off he does it again. One stunt he
tried and failed three times in succession, then in a
totally unexpected turn of events chose not to try again.
Really quite surprising as he still had the use of his
limbs. They also showed an aerial video clip of Roberto
Sierra and Jose Ramon Gonzalez Arrieta jostling each other
while riding in the peloton during the 1995 Vuelta a Espana.
They pushed back and forth, then finally got off their bikes
and started hammering each other with their fists. I could
find nothing on the web but the names of the combatants.
Will anyone supply details to this great moment in history?

Yes. Great spin move by the Banesto rider.
