Harsh confrontation in TdF?

[slowmotion]

And where Policemen can be Policemen and get hit by an oncoming peloton trying to reach the line at speed!

Crikey! I missed that bit.

Crikey! I missed that bit.

The Peleton didn't. I was actually referring to it when it happened several years ago now.

Sorry, MDB, I'm a novice to the TdF.
The poor dog looked pretty contrite, didn't he?

He just looks a bit dazed to me.

Quite so.

There are several dog strikes out there on YouTube, including the one with the Labrador a year or two ago, but other animals have been the subject of a few accidents at the TdF over the years though too, like.... Erm..... This! :

And, of course, things like this happen occasionally, even though this particular clip doesn't appear to be from Le Tour.

I can well understand Gilbert's reaction.

A dog ran out in front of me and bit my hand (it was a very large, hunting dog). It drew blood and I went to the owner's house and told him what I thought. He was very apologetic as might be expected since he would have been in trouble if I had gone to the gendarmes with a complaint.

I've not seen the dog running loose since.

It drew blood

I've not seen the dog running loose since.

It'll be off somewhere drawing and making the owner a fortune no doubt!

Rrrolf Harrrriss!


Seriously though, it sounds like the owner learned his lesson.

Should they call the Police?

 

[asterix]

No, I think the police were aware of the incident.

 

[Mad Doug Biker]

Should they call the Police?

There is the film of that in post 37.
