I figured since it was an off-day, I would post this photo. I this happen on the live covreage, but it took a while to find a good photo.

The guy (a Basque..notice the red/green Basque flag tangled up in the mess) was running next to the riders and tripped...and was run over buy the camera bike (fortunately no serious injuries).

Somebody joked it looked like he had been gored by one of the Pamplona bulls :D

Anybody who runs alongside the riders with a flag should be clothes-lined, hog-tied and tossed off the nearest mountain.

Sheesh... If this what happens when a Basque is running along the road, then no wonder Spain and France won't let them have their own country!
