Quote COLMAR, France (AP) -- Two Tour de France riders were slightly injured by shots from what their teams suspect was an air rifle during Friday's 13th stage. Julian Dean of New Zealand and Oscar Freire of Spain were struck along the road in northeast France but both riders were expected to start Saturday's stage. A projectile embedded in Freire's thigh was removed by a team doctor. Garmin spokeswoman Marya Pongrace said Dean's right index finger was injured. 'Finest Athletes In The World' my eye! |
