There was incredible scenes in the final stretch of the Tour Cycliste Antenne Reunion on Sunday when the father of cyclist Jonathan Boyer - who crashed out earlier in the race - appeared to deliberately pull a barricade into the path of several cyclists as they completed the final stage of the race.
The unwelcome intrusion caused trouble for six cyclists, with two of them crashing heavily. Boyer's father was said to be upset that the race wasn't stopped when his son crashed out in an earlier incident.
Watch the incredible incident below.

Race organisers have released a statement which you can see below (it would also help if you can speak French) which states that Mr Boyer Sr. has been fined just €300 for his actions.
