When my two favorite sports collide...

Since Le Tour de France is going on right now, I thought I'd post one of my favorite clips from Tours past.

I wouldn't call this bad_riding per se (other than the hauling on the mouth), maybe some bad_judgment, but the commentary is hilarious. I definitely did stupider things and had worse crashes as a horse-crazy kid.

I love how the little pony gets up and takes off again.

That would SO not be funny without the commentator.

I particularly loved 'polkadot pony' (the polkadot jersey is worn by the rider with the most hill climb points) and 'executing a perfect judo throw on his mount'.

Literally LOL'd at Judo Throw. I know I shouldn't have laughed. but damn. Cheeky pony seems fine too!
