It's also another French, er, unfortunate incident this summer. There have been a lot - rampant strikes, rubbish piling up in the streets, poor security and organisation at the Euros and the Eiffel Tower closed for safety reasons.
I think the country is still technically under emergency rule after the Paris attacks in November. The security focus was meant to move to the Tour after the Euros - when you see how close the crowds were up Ventoux today it's hard to believe that.
On Bastille day as well...
