tripping over victory

Since 2001, over 90,000 cyclist's have joined Cycling Forums to discuss topics from general cycling to equipment, training, racing and travel or vacation destinations (especially in europe during the tour de france). We also feature an great deals in our online store, 100's of articles, classifieds and product reviews.

As one who might commiserate and who has committed similar risible blunders, I've watched this clip several times: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7195110930084047467
Does anyone know the circumstances and the event?
Apologies if this has been discussed before.
