Default Rider goes airborne on Alpe d'Huez

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.
