Cyclist apologises for pinching flower girl's bum on the podium (photo & video)

Cyclist Peter Sagan (L) pinching flower girl's bum

Cyclist Peter Sagan apologized after being criticized for pinching the rear of a girl on the podium following his second-place finish in the Tour of Flanders in Belgium on Sunday. Sagan finished second to winner Fabian Cancellara, who received a peck on the cheek from the trophy ladies after the race. That’s when Sagan reached over to pinch blond “podium girl” Maya.

After the photograph was publicized, Sagan began receiving criticism. “Shame that Peter Sagan has so much class on a bike and so very little off it,” cyclist Michael Hutchinson wrote while linking to a photo of the pinch.

Sagan, a 23-year-old from Slovakia subsequently apologized via twitter and youtube. Source - LB Sports
