I don't think you have to be a cycling fan to appreciate these. Is the Tour de France not the most picturesque sporting event in the world?

Not sure. Right now I'm watching Maria Sharapova play her first round match at the US Open, which is also a very picturesque sporting event.

I don't think he got hit by the car. He hit another bike and then got catapulted into the barbed wire fence.

Thanks, Jazz. With Boone as a patron saint, we can afford new goal posts every ten years or so.
