Key events can be any memorable event, for example an impressive victory but also a major crash, bold solo or anything that makes for sporting memories.
In stage 9 of the 2011 Tour de France, with 37 kilometers to the line, a television car tried to pass the breakaway and collided with Juan Antonio Flecha. Johnny Hoogerland got catapulted into a barbed wire fence. He continued and finished the stage and earned the polka dot jersey for the points collected earlier in the stage.
