Whoever is driving the following car is definitely a nominee for moron of the year. Why they have automobiles driving this close to cyclists is in itself a mystery. There is enough danger involved with the contestants riding so close to each other, let alone allowing media vehicles to buzz around them in the meantime.

Check out this video of a car bumping Juan Antonio Flecha at the Tour de France:
The cyclist who went crashing through the fence, Johnny Hoogerland, may have gotten the worst of the crash considering the fence was made of barbed wire. Fortunately, neither rider was seriously injured. There is still no debating that that is an accident that should not happen. Here’s a pretty good picture of the crash from CNN International.
Wow. Someone has to pay, and it should be the person who drove the car.
