French TV Car Sends Cyclists Flying at Tour de France
A car from a French television station swerved into three cyclists during today’s stage in Tour de France, sending two flying into the grass and the other managing to recover from the initial bump and continue cycling his ass off. He can be seen shaking his head as he pulls away from the unwarranted attack.
I don’t know a whole lot about the Tour de France or cycling in general, but if cars were allowed on the field during football and baseball games it would certainly spice things up, as witnessed in Naked Gun.
Here’s a version with commentary in English. Let the chaos guide you:

This is the thing that’s always amazed me about the Tour, just how close everything is, the cyclists to each other, the cars, motorcycles, the fans, media.

Someone is getting a fist to the jaw this evening. Assuming that one guy that flew into the fence post is able to walk.

Man, if I’m one of the cyclist who crashed because of this douchebag, I’m doing everything I can to get my hands on him.

looks like the car was driving on the shoulder a bit and swerved to dodge that big tree. to be fair, the cyclists deserved it.

Did you tailgate them in your monster truck?
July 10th, 2011 at 4:20 PM
no, I fucking sat there for 15-20 minutes at a barricade while the riders went by.

Boo. Hey did you check out that shitfest last night on TNT? They were turning people away that had already spent half the race in traffic due to the lack of parking spaces. And lets not even talk about the boring race.

Why do they let these dumb asses with cars so close to riders during the race? trying to stir up fan interest with controversy since no one is watching?

Mizerle, that was long enough to develop a rooting interest.
