2 Tour de France riders hurt in suspected air-rifle shooting

"The riders were hit during the descent of the demanding Col du Platzerwasel, about 22 miles from the finish of the stage between Vittel and Colmar, Rabobank said."


You've got to be pretty damn bored to pull shit like this. But unfortunately, it's not limited to the Tour. The second year I rode the MS150, some jackass decided to put thumbtacks all over the road at the bottom of a curving hill in "the parks." Typically, you're going about 35 MPH at that spot, which makes those kinds of shenanigans very, very dangerous. There were literally dozens of cyclists with blown tires.
