July 17 (UPI) -- A man riding a mountain bike jumped over a group of Tour de France competitors on Tuesday during a 98-mile stage. The group was weaving its way between Annecy and Le Grand-Bornand when a man came flying in from the right side. The man went airborne, flying over the narrow road and landing perfectly on the other side.
