Hey, Tour de France fans? We’d like to have a word.
Taking photos with your phone is fine. Cheering on the riders is encouraged.
But anything beyond? Like, running on to the course? NO. Holding up a sign that hits one of the riders? ABSOLUTELY NOT.
And then there’s what happened on Stage 15 of the 2023 edition of the bicycle race.
Cameras caught a fan taking a selfie. The spectator was just a hair out into the peloton, when one of the riders hit the photo-taker, and the result of it was a massive crash.
So, yeah. Definitely don’t do this:
