Tour de France Rider Nearly Collides with Spectator
Mobile Phone-Wielding Fan Invades Road, Endangering Cyclist
In a shocking incident, a spectator invaded the road during the Tour de France, nearly causing a collision with a member of the Education First (EF) cycling team. The fan, who was waving a mobile phone, abruptly stopped an EF rider, preventing them from falling.
The incident highlights the need for spectators to respect the racing lanes and remain off the roads. The Tour de France has reminded fans of this importance, emphasizing the need for their safety and the safety of the riders.
This type of incident is not uncommon in the racing world, but it has become increasingly prevalent in Italy. In another recent incident, cycling superstar Tadej Pogacar was criticized for expressing frustration with fans who were overly affectionate towards him during the Giro d’Italia’s penultimate day on Monte Grappa.
The incident is a sobering reminder of the importance of rider safety and the need for fans to stay behind barriers.
