It might be the most careless selfie in sports history. A fan trying to take a picture during the 15th stage of the Tour de France inadvertently made contact with a competitor and caused a massive crash on Sunday.
A video caught a fan in a white hat trying to take a selfie with an arm extended in the pathway of riders, and the spectator clipped American Sepp Kuss’s handlebars while passing. Kuss crashed, and he brought down myriad other riders with him, leading to a massive pileup of riders, including teammate Nathan van Hooydonck of Belgium.
About 20 riders crashed, and Dutch cyclist Wout Poels subsequently won the stage to capture the first stage win of his career.
