MotoGP riders in wild brawl at German Grand Prix
Tensions have boiled over on the race track at the MotoGP World Championship in Germany, after fellow Dutchmen Bryan Schouten and Scott Deroue wiped each other out.
The only two Dutchmen in the Moto3 race were battling for 23rd place in the early stages, when Deroue tried to pass his fellow countryman.
After they both ended up in the sand trap, Schouten tried to punch and kick Deroue as they got up from their wrecked bikes.
Officials managed to separate the pair, only for Schouten to tackle Deroue as they were leaving the track.
Schouten would later apologise for the incident, but refused to back down about whose fault the crash was.
(1) Got hit in 2nd lap after a not smart action from a other rider. Some things happened before wich made me gone crazy. Never will happen.

Racing stewards failed to see the humour in the altercation, docking Schouten two penalty points.
Aussie Jack Miller went on to win the race, continuing his recent dominance.
