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.
