Live blog: "Little tykes" pose as marshals to send sportive riders wrong way, tree in bike lane + more

All today's news from the site and beyond...
 

Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

"Big up to the UCI technical rules .... they mean you'll only see this monstrosity at a triathlon, not the Tour de France" - isn't that one of those things out of 'Tron'?

The second crash could have been nasty - all of a sudden the kerb raises up with no marshals to warn.  Good job one of the leaders sees it and points it out- but uts too late for the guys on his wheel.
