Hundreds of cyclists fells off their bikes while pedalling over a snow-covered slope in France.
Terrifying footage shows cyclist after cyclist tumbling over after they lose their grip or crash into another on the 15-mile course in Les Deux Alpes yesterday.
The 700 riders taking part were on the first part of their course, a 900 metre descent, before continuing.
Shocking footage shows the cyclists get off to a flying start as they bounce over the icy ground. Then, as they near the end of their first descent one tumbles over. The recorders gasp as they more and more cyclists fall, either losing their grip on the ice or smashing into another rider.
