An angry driver rammed a Tour de France cyclist off the road!

Tour de France He suffered injury A serious affair Out of first And into intensive care They sliced and they sewed He was Hercules so he rose Above the blood and guts He survived surgeries woes He was a gladiator and fighter He was built of stuff that made him mightier Than any evil cyclist could ever toss his way His wheels were faster, he’s here to stay So now he’s up and back in the race On his wheels you shall see his human grace As he steps up to the podium And rightfully assumes his first place

A great write Arthur. It's too bad he was training on a back road at the time and there was no CCTV footage, but you're right, Froome is a fighter and will probably make it to first place like he has 3 times in the past I believe:) Amitiés

I hadn't heard about this but I have now, really nicely done Arthur. Sometimes you have wonder what gets into people, why do something like this but if he rose from adversity to compete again, then he won no matter what.
