Cycling: Vincenzo Nibali Thrown Out Of Vuelta a Espana

Vincenzo Nibali was thrown off the Vuelta a Espana when TV images showed him being towed back into the pack after a crash on stage two on Sunday.

Images showed the Italian's Astana team car pulling alongside him and then both he and the car accelerating rapidly.

Judges decided Nibali was either towed by the car as he held it, or grabbed a water bottle extended from the window.
