Just one day after a bus lodged itself underneath a gantry on the finish line of the first stage of the Tour de France, another bizarre incident nearly caused a massive accident near the end of Stage 2.

Just a few kilometers from the finish, a small dog freed itself from its owner and ran across the road to freedom.

With the peloton closing in, the man attempted to grab his dog and get out of the way.

BAD IDEA.

Luckily the dog, its owner, and the cyclists were all unhurt.
