Uncivilized people are everywhere. And the Tour de France is not an exception. During the second stage of this edition of the Big Boucle It was demonstrated once again that there are people who only come to witness the passing of the runners with the sole purpose of boycotting the race. Lilian Calmejane, French cyclist with the Intermarché team, He took it upon himself to demonstrate it on his social networks.
“Thank you for this kind of human bullshit… I don’t think I was the only victim of a flat tire in the finale… Know that with your bullshit we can fall and hurt ourselves a lot…”, Calmejane wrote, words that he accompanied with a video in which he showed a series of thumbtacks stuck in the wheel of his bicycle, a trap that caused both his puncture and that of others runners. Fortunately, there were no consequences to regret and everything was a scare.
Another of those affected by these thumbtacks was Alpecin-Deceuninck cyclist Jonas Rickaert, who uploaded a photo of a thumbtack stuck in his tubular with this comment. “Please don’t do this guys.” Some incidents that are the only one but the incredible treatment and reception of the Basque fans as the peloton passes by during these first two days in Euskadi, and hopefully they will not be repeated during the rest of the Tour.
