You have probably all seen the clip by now. You can feel the disaster coming. Célia Gery (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes) drops back to speak to her directeur sportif in the team car, who is also driving during France’s junior women’s national championships. During the course of the conversation, the DS rolls into the back of Amandine Muller (Grand Est), causing her to crash.
Fortunately for everyone involved, Muller fell onto her left side, and avoided the more serious repercussions of falling into the path of the car. Gery crashed over the top of Muller, but recovered to win, with Muller coming in second. Disaster was averted, but it could have been so much worse.
