VIDEO: Unreal scenes at junior race where strong wind nearly blows away the finish line

Parallel to the world's biggest race Tour de France, the traditional junior race Ain Bugey Valromey Tour where the best riders in the category usually battle it out against each other, is taking place between July 10-14 this year.

The third stage with finish in Ordonnaz was won by the big junior star and world champion Albert Withen Philipsen in a sprint of three, that wouldn't be too shocking on its own. However within two minutes of the Dane's arrival, the weather changed drastically. As mighty gusts hit the finish line, the commissaries had full hands with securing the safe arrival of next groups. The provisional finishline made of textile wasn't prepared for the extreme wind which nearly blew it into faces of peloton approaching at a high speed.
