It's certainly not the first time cyclists have encountered animals on their path, but crossing wheels with a bear, albeit a small one, doesn't happen every day. Well, Lorenzo Mark Finn will certainly have this story to tell because the cyclist in the green jersey (that of the race leader) is none other than him. Today, in the queen stage of the Sibiu Tour, the Under 23 world champion had quite a special encounter: it was just a moment, then the little bear continued its run into the forest while Finn continued his attack, dropped everyone and claimed his second consecutive victory on the roads of Romania.
