The man who rode across the finish line of stage 17 of the Tour de France and was promptly taken out by a policeman has been handed an eight month suspended sentence.
On Wednesday, in the rain of Valence, a man dressed in a Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale jersey, got as far as the line before he was taken out by a member of the Compagnies Republicaines de Securite (CRS), essentially French riot police.
