Amateur Race Leaves Bike Riders In A Spin

An amateur motorbike race in France left two riders a bit dizzy after their bikes came together and started spinning on the spot.

One of the racers slid off his bike as he approached a corner and took out his team-mate.

In the collision, the handlebars became tangled and the bikes were locked in a spin for almost 40 seconds.

Both riders, who were unhurt, tried in vain to stop the whirling bikes and to get back on.

By the time they did stop, they could not rejoin the race, much to their frustration.
