just watching todays highlights, and thought it was a bit harsh that a fallen racer went over to the dogs owner that caused the accident and confronted him in an angry manner when the dog's owners had a child with them. Luckily his team members pulled him away before he had a chance to get stuck in.

Bizarre logic.

Doesn't matter that a few cyclists could have ended up with broken bones, or worse, just as long as litttle Pierre doesn't hear some naughty words!

I'm with the others - you're kidding, right? What kind of an idiot takes a dog not under control to a bike race? A good lesson for the child: even your parents can be idiots!

The humiliation of being seen on TV to be the day's number one muppet in France will be enough, it will stay with the man for the rest of his life.
