See the second article, but the first one is also interesting. The question was asked if there are
other similar "events" associated with the Tour. Anyone?

I disagree, and so would any of the riders who could have a heavy freeride bike and armour clad
rider land on top of them...

Let him jump a moving train or something. Then maybe I'll believe the "only person in jeopardy was
me." remark.

It's a shame he wasn't arrested and allowed to cool off for a while in a 'nice' French
prison. John Rees
