Bloody terrible driving, could easily have killed both of them.

Jesus - it's like a bloody car rally...they just seem to block the road up without a thought for anyone else...about time somebody sorted it out i.e. just ban them...end of.

Serves them right for riding two abreast. Should ride behind each other to enable cars to pass.

Two for the price of one, well done.

And this is the guy who got catapulted into the fence - looks a bit drained.

Came in 16 minutes down then went off to hospital to get stitched up.

An here's one from the day before where a press motorbike knocked a cyclist off.

Almost suffered a similar fate this morning, met a tractor coiming round a blind bend in a single track road, me coming downhill managed to squeeze past.

Then met a kno-b-head builder driving his pick up, towing a trailer, whilst he was on the phone. Same single track road. He didn't slow down

Car drivers who needs them.

Jeez, this Tour de France thing is mad. There has been some woman killed after been run over by a french police bike (seems the woman was at fault), and two of the riders were shot with an air rifle!!

Then this!! I always thought it was a bit dangerous seen as how the cars are in their own little race and jockeying for position...can't believe it's allowed!!

To be fair to the drivers, most of the ones in the teams are there to look after the rider, and there are usually ex pro cyclists behind the wheel.

The two crashes this year have been caused by a media bike and a tv car.
