French railway files suit
Print Edition
FRANCE’S national rail company SNCF filed a lawsuit yesterday after cyclists on a prominent race crossed train tracks just seconds before a high-speed train whizzed past.
SNCF announced the move in a statement, saying the incident during the Paris-Roubaix race on Sunday in northern France was “irresponsible” and the cyclists could have been hit by the TGV train. The International Cycling Union, or UCI, said it has requested a report into the “extremely worrying” incident which could lead to disciplinary action. After some of the riders crossed the tracks 162km into the race, a railway crossing gate went down, nearly hitting one rider and forcing other cyclists to wait for the train to pass. Some riders broke race rules by going around the gate barrier to cross the train track. The lawsuit does not name anyone.
