That is horrible and FANtastic all in one.

It is amazing that stuff like that doesn't happen at the Tour de France every year, considering how close the spectators get to the riders on a regular basis.

And the stages are so long that there really isn't any way to prevent it.

Those are the kinds of peckerheads you hear about falling off ledges while trying to capture the perfect selfie.

French officials are looking to find the sign holder to sue her in an attempt to stop future knuckleheads from doing the same.

I know that a lot of the team aspect of the race is to protect the primary guy. I don't think that's what this guy is but it goes to show how important it can be.

So it's ok to line the streets for these bike races by the thousands with no ropes or barriers but if someone steps an inch or two out too far, then the authorities are going to get involved. how stupid. uh yeah, someone jumped out too much and caused a big pile up.

If you dont want this to happen, put up a fence or gates or cones. dont let the fans line the streets, inches from the racers. honestly, im surprised this doesnt happen more often..

honestly, this is more funny than anything.
