Army base surprises cyclists by racing them ... in a tank
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The Arctic Race of Norway is one of the biggest cycling races in the country, and it brings out all kinds of fans -- even ones in tanks. The peleton passed an army base and suddenly they had a new racer, a Leopard 2A4 tank.
“When we heard that the Arctic Race of Norway was going to pass through our camp, we wanted to give them a special welcome,” Lieutenant Colonel Pal Berglund told The Local.
At least one rider saw the comedy in it all.
