If You Can’t Beat Them, Jump Them: Mountain Biker Soars Over Tour de France Riders
After six months of preparation, Valentin Anouilh achieved his lifetime dream of jumping over the Tour de France on July 15.
The mountain biker recorded his use of a ramp to jump a road at the exact moment riders passed under him, near Saint Flour, during stage 10 of the race.
Anouilh told Storyful, “The jump is great, it is huge, it was too good.”
