Marcel Kittel apologises to his bike after throwing it

I’m VERY sorry for throwing my beloved Giant Propel on the ground. I still love it! We’re just having an intense relationship. #deepemotions — Marcel Kittel (@marcelkittel) March 13, 2014

No joke. Going to dinner and first song I hear is ‘Heat of the Moment’ from Asia…. #perfecttiming — Marcel Kittel (@marcelkittel) March 13, 2014

Tried to keep our relationship going after our fight yesterday. Apologized to my sweetheart this morning! #giantLove pic.twitter.com/KiQxIESOjN — Marcel Kittel (@marcelkittel) March 14, 2014

7 hours together with my baby under the Tuscan sun. Sounds romantic? It wasn’t! But I guess a hard day binds together… — Marcel Kittel (@marcelkittel) March 15, 2014
