A 190 chilometri dall'arrivo della 16/a tappa del Tour de France di ciclismo, in corso fra Carcassonne e Bagne'res de Luchon e lunga 218 chilometri, una protesta di sedicenti agricoltori ha fermato la corsa
I corridori, dopo alcuni minuti di caos, si sono accodati all'auto del direttore di corsa, Christian Prudhomme, quindi hanno ripreso il cammino liberamente dopo esserci ricompattati
Secondo notizie giunte dalla corsa i poliziotti hanno usato anche gas lacrimogeni per disperdere i facinorosi
