A Rogue Umbrella At The Tour de France Is The Closest We've Gotten To Real Life Mario Kart So Far
I’m sure there are plenty of cycling purists out there in the world who love Le Tour just the way it is. But there’s always room for improvement and I think we took a pretty big step forward today with this runaway umbrella. I’m not saying I want to see umbrellas thrown at these guys during every stage of the tour. But I do think adding a few more obstacles in the way would shake things up a bit.
Elsewhere on le Tour, we’ve got a horse getting lost in the pack.
Not a great look for a horse if we’re being honest. Can’t let a bunch of dudes wearing spandex and helmets blow by you like that if you’re a horse. That lack of speed turns you into lion dinner in the wild.
And also–wouldn’t be the Tour de France without a little bit of drama. Peter Sagan, the guy who decided to turn cycling into a contact sport earlier this week…
…has appealed his disqualification from the Tour today. I have no idea how any of that works but it’ll be a riveting situation to follow. They need to let him back in just for the possible revenge fight.
