Two time TCR winner James Hayden got held up last night up a mountain in Kyrgyzstan by two dudes on horseback! He managed to get away fortunately. Makes TCR look a little tame.
I was just catching up on this this morning. Didn't read anything about the holdup so I presume that's on his own account somewhere.

I'd just clicked on the pictures, shallow I know.It's in your third link - click on the photo of James..
"While climbing the Kadzhi-Sai canyon section of the route, James was stopped by two horse riders with dogs. Without going into details, James quickly realised the situation was not friendly and things escalated fast into an attempted robbery. James was eventually able to get away from the two horse riders by descending back the way he came. The incident has left James a bit shaken, he will take some time to consider next steps. This is sadly an isolated incident in what is a wonderful country."
