Currently, the Tour De France finished up it’s ninth stage which was plagued with rider crashes. One of those crashes however was not caused by the riders themselves but by a French television car following them.
Spain’s Juan Antonio Flecha and Dutchmen Johnny Hoogerland were the unfortunate victims of the incident but both ended up continuing in the race:
