BMX rider jumps the Tour de France 2018.JPGVideo: BMX rider jumps over Tour de France peloton
We’ve seen this before on the Tour de France, but it never fails to thrill – a cyclist jumping over the peloton.
It happened during today’s Stage 10, the first in the Alps, from Annecy to Le Grand Bornand, though this time the rider was on a BMX rather than mountain bike.

In 2013, French freeride mountain biker Romain Marandet jumped over a group including eventual winner Chris Froome of Team Sky during the 100th edition of the race.

And last year at the Tour of Poland, Red Bull-sponsored rider Szymon Godziek did a backflip over the peloton at the Tour de Pologne.

They want to pick on The Others in general, rather than a specific group. Immigrants can hate Others just as much as Nigel Farage does.

There's no doubting how bad the sport must have been when a banker feels moral enough to criticise...!

It's not the most impressive occasion of an MTB rider gap jumping the TdF, which IMO goes to Dave Watson back in 2002 near the summit of the Col de Galibier, but this guy (Alexis Bosson) throwing a suicide-no-hander makes it stand out in my book.
Still surprised how anyone can mistake a Freeride / DH bike for a BMX though
Where's this idea that it's a BMX come from? It's a mountain bike

or, its a MTB thats far away?

Get. A. Spell. Checker.
Ah, the age of pedantry is not dead I see.
When it's in the headline it jumps right out at you ( if you excuse the unintentional pun).
I see it has been corrected now. Not so this on the knitting story:
... took the machine – called the Cyclo-Knitter – to teh Duutch city's railway station...
You are their spell checker.
Teamwork!
btw v.t. jumo - to use the terrain to safely jump over a major cycling road race on a self-propelled vehicle.
