Hoyle stormed into the Katusha Team bus, angered by the actions of Russian rider Dmitriy Kozontchuk and the team bosses during Stage 5 of the Tour de San Luis. When faced with the Katusha security aboard the bus, Hoyle forced his way past, pushing one of the men over a chair, causing him to hit head and require several stitches for a very deep cut, and causing damage to the bus itself.

Hoyle was then dragged off the bus, as Race Officials and Security became involved in the matter. Outside the bus, Hoyle clashed with Katusha's Directeur Sportif José Azevedo, and the pair had to be dragged apart by their team members before Hoyle walked away using threatening and abusive language towards officials and Katusha staff.
