These Llamas Tried To Ruin The Tour-De-France And They’re Not The First Animals To Do It
A bunch of llamas nearly ruined stage eight of the Tour de France as they blocked the road in Col du Tourmalet, the highest mountain pass used in the famous bicycle race.
How did they get there? And what were they plotting? Apparently, their owner brought them there for the summer – they love to heat themselves on the road as the pavement remains hot from the sun longer than unpaved ground. Fortunately, the warmth-loving llamas were moved before they could cause any harm for the participants. Sounds innocent enough but it wasn’t the first time that animals have tried to intervene with the race. In 2013 and 2007, dogs ran onto the course, causing multiple accidents and in 2010, sheep did just the same. Something’s definitely going on…

I hope they're all okay! I didn't see any sheep get hit and hopefully none did but the dog got hit hard!:( poor baby! I hope he's/she's okay!
the sheep were the most effective. just needed to time it a little better to get those pesky bike riders
