Video: Tour de France Crash
There was a terrible crash this year in the Tour de France. Unlike most TdF crashes, this one involved a car. I’m personally amazed this doesn’t happen more often. A car covering the Tour de France for a French television station sideswiped competitor, Juan Antonio Flecha, of Spain. While he was sent to the ground, Dutch cyclist, Johnny Hoogerland, went flying into a barbed-wire fence at 60 km/h.
The driver has been banned by tour organizers. As of now, we at Sports Collision have not heard whether this was intentional or not. Check the video after the break.
