• Moto3 riders got involved after crash between the pair • Compatriots had to be pulled apart during tussle

Moto3 riders Bryan Schouten and his Dutch compatriot Scott Deroue had to be pulled apart by medical staff after an incident between the pair took both out of the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring.

The pair exchanged punches – and more – after crashing out of the race, round nine of the 18-race season – which was won by Australian Jack Miller.
