Ah, the French.
He is literally just meters away from victory when everything goes bad for Christophe Mengin during Stage 6 of the 2005 Tour de France.
This clip is amazing not only for the tragedy that befalls Mengin, but for the passion his directeur sportif, Marc Madiot, displays.
The whole video is in French, but you don’t need to understand what they are saying to understand what they are saying.
