Watch cyclists narrowly miss high-speed train as Paris-Roubaix race disrupted by rail crossing incident

Health and Safety needs people in the media to show the positive aspects in order for others to pick it up. And then there are those that really take the biscuit!

This is the shocking moment cyclists in the Paris-Roubaix race narrowly avoided a a high-speed train at a level crossing.

A few among the field risked being hit by passing through the barrier, before the TGV rushed through seconds later.

"That could have ended in disaster. You could see riders nip across but that train wasn't slowing down," said BBC Sport commentator Rob Hayles.
