Did any of you see today's stage of the tour where the dog gets hit by the
rider? That CF wheel did seem to stand a chance. Major crunch!!!

Cyclists are not cute and furry. They are also rare in American
households. Thus, American tabloid TV will ignore them in favor of dogs,
which are cute, furry, and fairly common.

Exellent television it was. Blind and deaf old dog crosses the TdF
peleton and is run over by a - fortunately - very soft front wheel. Goes
to her master and with begging eyes saying: "Please take care of me, and I
will do as you say." Stupid master says: Noughty dog. Didn't I tell you
to stay on the other side of the road. T Mobile rider quickly gets a new
bike, and soon cathes up with the peleton, discovering that he has to ride
another 50 km on a saddle which is too high. You cant plan everything, can
you.

I happened to have the boob toob on yesterday, and Inside Edition
reported that same crash, making sure to tell its viewers that the TdF is
a bicycle race.
They then reported that the dog was not injured in the collision. Nary
a word about the rider.
