The unintended consequence of the explosion of joy of a team manager
In the wake of the Victory Tony Martin at the 4th stage of the Tour, Davide Bramati, sports director of Etixx-Quick Step, could not help but exult in his car. But in the euphoria of the victory of his runner, he forgot to put his seatbelt. Inadvertently, the Belgian team has published this joy scene on YouTube and the race management has viewed the images. For its lack of attention to road safety, it has therefore excluded from the Tour for a day. Funny

Warren Barguil not likely to forget the descent that followed his visit to the top of the pass Tourmalet. Launched at full speed on the asphalt where some riders can exceed 90 km / h in some portions, the French rider was surprised to see a cow invite on the road.

In a tight face, the French arrived too fast after a long downhill portion. Unable to stop in time, Barguil went bump teammate Chris Froome. Thomas, who was on the outside of the curve, could correct its trajectory in stride, or even avoid power pole in front of him, before falling into the ditch.

In pursuit of its main rivals, the British did not flinch and continued to rise.
