Goat Attack at Giro d'Italia Sparks Debate

Cyclist's Close Call

In the Giro d'Italia's 3rd leg, Dion Smith, a cyclist from New Zealand, had to deal with a rather difficult problem as he was accosted by a goat that had broken loose and was trying to push him off his bike. The surreal scene in Albania's racetrack was caught on video, showing the goat smashing into Smith's leg and back wheel.

The Scene Unfolds

The most attractive thing was the surprised faces of the crowd along with that of other competitors as the goat ran into the race track seemingly out of nowhere. Although Smith was successful in keeping his balance and finishing the race, the unplanned incident has brought forth various thoughts about the safety of the event and control of animals.

Reactions and Aftermath

The cycling community has reacted to this event in a humorous yet concerned way. Some people treat it as a humorous yet harmless phenomenon while others are suggesting appropriate measures to prevent such a situation from occurring at other future races. Smith, in this regard, has shown his sense of humor, referring to his chance meeting with the goat on the track.
