DUTCH MOTO3 RIDERS Bryan Schouten and Scott Deroue lost their tempers after crashing – then clashing – during the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring in Hohenstein-Ernstthal today.

The pair exchanged punches and kicks – all without removing their helmets – as other riders flew past before being separated by medical staff.
