VIDEO: Scary scenes at the Dauphiné as car tries to pull onto course and only narrowly avoids crash with breakaway
CyclingMonday, 09 June 2025 at 19:00
Jonathan Milan powered to a dominant sprint win on stage 2 of the 2025 Criterium du Dauphiné on Monday afternoon, securing the Maillot Jaune from Tadej Pogacar in the process. A little before the finale however, there were some scary scenes on the French roads.
As a four man breakaway of Romain Combaud, Victor Guernalec, Christopher Juul-Jensen and Paul Ourselin were whizzing down a country road at some considerable speed, all of a sudden the breakaway was met by a white Volkswagen Beetle attempting to pull out onto the course.
Given the speed the riders were going and the total surprise of the car pulling out from behind the bushes, this could have easily ended in disaster. Thankfully, Combaud, Guernalec, Juul-Jensen and Ourselin all managed to avoid a crash, though they did make an effort to remonstrate with the car in question via some clearly furious hand signals.

- Yes, that is quite obvious (not wanting to be patronising), but everyone knows how similar Van Aert and Van der Poel are - and yet they have different roles, in which they are very successful
