Horse joins in the Tour De France

A little more research shows "The incident happened in the Criterium International, not the Tour de France, in 1997 in the south west of France near Toulouse. The horse left the field only 20km from the finish of the race. Thankfully nothing serious happened to any of the riders. The stage was won by an Once rider."

So oops! Sorry not the latest news - hope you all forgive me!

Here's another as an apology (even if it does look spoofed)! Glad to see they were wearing hats...

A fat labrador ran into the peloton yesterday and knocked one of the riders off his bike. Dog was OK, he got up and wandered off. Oh, the cyclist was unhurt as well.
 
Thanks for sharing the clips!
That pony in the second was running it's little legs off!! Early on that rider was leaning way back, must've known the pony was out of control, hate to laugh but it was just too funny!!! Haven't we ALL been there on a bad pony
