Video: Pro cyclist gets thrown off his bike after rolling over a cat

Me-ouch.

A black cat is supposed to bring you good luck and after seeing this video, we’ve come to the conclusion that ginger and white cats bring you bad luck.

A young cyclist set off on a time trial stage at a race in South America when everything went wrong.

A bit up the road, a cat darted across the street into the crowd, that’s grand, but for some reason the feline decided to turn around and run back across the road.

The timing is perfect in one sense but dreadful for the cat and the rider. Watch it unfold here.
