I Am Convinced This Goat Had Sincere Intentions To Ruin This Cyclist's Day

UPI News -  Dion Smith, a member of the Intermarche-Wanty team, was in the 99.4-mile third stage of the race on Sunday when he spotted a small herd of goats next to the road in Albania.

Smith moved to the right side of the road to avoid the animals, but one of the goats darted into the road and ran straight toward his bicycle.

"I probably more expected maybe a wild dog or something, but I guess there's a lot more goats down here," Smith told reporters at the finish line.

Sports man! Never know what you are going to see! Full disclosure this is the only way I would see a cycling highlight ever as it's just not my cup of tea, and I'm confused as to how it could be anyone's cup of tea so to speak. Seems super long, and super boring, and very uneventful, that is of course unless you have an animal straight up attack someone, which is what we have here. Just a full blown attack you cannot convince me otherwise. 

Watch the video! This goat seems to go out of his way to go after this particular cyclist. It had a hit out! Not only does it go darting across the path completely ignoring other cyclists, it LEAPS at the guy. LEAPS like it's making an open field tackle. It's never been clearer to me this goat was intent of getting this cyclist. I have to ask what this cyclist did to stir up such a grudge, because in no way is this a coincidence. Did this cyclist bash goats in a press conference, did he publicly state his allegiance to another animal? Was he mean to him during the practice runs? It had to be something. I know grudges, and I know rage, and this my friends is a goat with both. Need the cyclist to own up to what he did. Need it.
