It seems the one thing COVID-19 hasn't been able to disrupt in the mountain biking world this year is the annual tradition of jumping the Tour de France. This time it was Dan Leclercq of the probably aptly named "Brainless Family" who jumped the peloton on Stage 14 of the Tour between Clermont-Ferrand and Lyon. The jump is claimed to be 8 metres high and 18 metres across.
This year's jump wasn't as well timed as
last year's by Valentin Anouilh with Dan jumping a bit before the peloton arrived but maybe he was just trying to be responsibly socially distant.

Thanks to @audric for the tip
Competition for best comment of the year is over!
Shame on you! Switzerland is the country of raclette and chääs fondue.
Quebec is a lovely place, however.
Still some danger to tour riders, but substantially less.
Cheers mate!
Jumping over the peloton is cooler, but it’s sort of nice he went before they actually arrived, just feels less sketchy overall.
