It was a little too close for comfort for some competitors in the Paris-Roubaix cycling race overnight after narrowly avoiding a train.
A barrier at a railway crossing came down midway through the race as the peloton was passing underneath.
One rider was clipped by a barrier and several more crossed after it was down, but by the time a TGV train passed, the remaining riders had been brought to a halt by a police motorcyclist.
Germany's John Degenkolb went onto win the race, becoming only the third man to complete a Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix double in the same year.
