The Tour de Crash -- Painful to watch.
I've never seen so many cyclists taken down in collisions so soon.
The general newspapers had photos of yesterday's crash at the finish, but skipped the huge pile-up on a sharp turn near the end, and barely mentioned the dog running into the pack earlier.
Coverage of the tiny hilly road in today's rainy race did mention that the support cars had trouble getting through the peleton pile-up to bring new wheels or bikes to their teams or leaders, which changes the race dynamics considerably.
This Tour course is hillier than many, which favors some riders over others, but with so many accidents so soon, it's more the luck of the draw and whether the rider or team knows enough to avoid a potentially bad situation and injury.
