A pensioner suffered serious injuries after a Tour de Yorkshire cyclist
crashed into her during the final stages of the race.

The 86-year-old suffered facial injuries and fractures to both arms after
the rider, who was with a group made up of several riders behind the main
peloton, struck her as she crossed the road to her house.

"A spokesmen said the cyclist has not been questioned by police".
Why the hell not??

Maybe because she was illegally crossing a road on which a temporary
closure had been put in place specifically to prevent incidents of
that kind, so has nobody but herself to blame.

All the more reason to ban cycle racing/sporting events on public roads.
If they want to race their children's toys, they should take a lesson from
motorsport, and build purpose built tracks with their own money.
After all, as they are considerably richer than everyone else, it won't be
too much of a hardship, will it?
