VIDEO: Rogue cat almost wipes out riders at the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine

Stage 2 of the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine gave the general classification riders their first true test of the race with a punchy stage finish eventually won by Magnus Cort Nielsen, who prevailed over Primoz Roglic and Matteo Jorgenson in the mist and fog at the finish line.

A little earlier however, riders were greeted by one of the scariest sights for a bike rider, a rogue animal attempting to cross the road. The cat looked incredibly nervous as it repeatedly attempted to dash out and over to the other side only to be pushed back in fear of the oncoming bikes. Eventually though, the feline was successful and managed to skirt across the road to the safety of the other side, narrowly avoided a disaster crash in the process.
