you won’t believe how far fans can go because of 
their enthusiasm for their team or Rider sometimes in an attempt to encourage them they end up 
annoying them and causing the team Major setbacks here are some of my experiences 10. vincenzoni 
Bali Al dues Vincenzo nibali and Italian Rider crashed out of the race with four kilometers 
left in stage 12. after his handlebars Tangled with eight Spectators camera strap which led to a 
Fractured vertebra however another fan helped him get back on his feet after discovering the depth 
of his injuries he decided to call it a day but before then he was able to press on and close 
the gap on those ahead losing just 13 seconds to the Victorious getint Thomas and winning 
the Seventh Place 9. grinning fan wipes out most of the Peloton on stage one with a cardboard 
sign Tour de France on stage one of the Tour de France in 2021 a spectator to waving a cardboard 
flag above the Peloton resulted in a significant crash Tony Martin the road Captain for yumor 
visma crashed with the sign that was waved out onto the road some 40 kilometers from Lander 
now’s stage 1 finish with a group of cyclists on his left and a grassy area on his right Martin had 
no choice but to ride directly into the cardboard sign because there was nothing he could do to 
move out of the way the unaware spectator had been beaming for the cameras while holding up the 
banner with a message for her grandparents before you could say Jack it spread like wildfire 
and roughly three quarters of the group were laying on the road in a massive bikes and bodies 
Martin’s colleagues nearby fell first according to early accounts only one Rider the German jazza 
Sutherlin DSM was compelled to quit the tour on the spot to allow the remainder of the field to 
catch up before the day’s final Hill the Riders who avoided the mishap took it easy we’re glad 
to have the public on the side of the road on the hashtag tdf 2021 the tour’s official account 
tweeted but to ensure the rider’s safety and the success of the tour please don’t put your life in 
danger just to appear on camera or television 8. Chris Froome inhaler incident Giro de Italia 
the strange incident occurred in the Race’s 19th stage with the Britain leading suddenly 
two individuals with enormous inhalers started sprinting behind Froome while he was cycling 
one was wearing surgical scrubs and the other carrying a big inhaler the joke follows Froome 
failing a drug test at the 2017 Welter at Espana Froome asserts that to treat his asthma he must 
use an inhaler however testers still discovered a positive sample of the drug salbutamol in his 
urine it contained doubled illegally allowed amount which Drew condemnation from other 
cyclists 7. Maxime belkov pushed by a fan a fan ran into the road and shoved the 32 year old 
cyclist into the side barrier during stage 12 of the famous fuerta ispanya following the outrageous 
episode belkov vented his rage on Facebook after finding out that the fan had a learning issue 
belkov opted not to pursue the matter further the offender was ultimately arrested the Russian 
then made it obvious that he would not pursue legal action against the fan before before making 
a direct appeal to the other attendees he said through the Vuelta organizers I have received 
more details from the Guardia Seville about the incidents that occurred yesterday on the Predator 
Del torcal when a fan pushed me into the ditch the man suffers from a mental disability for me 
this is more than enough reason not to undertake any further action against him 6. Peloton crash 
caused by fans errant cell phone leads to cyclists pleading for self-awareness Tour de France once 
more I found negative influence on the Tour de France is felt an obstruction in the 15th stage 
from a spectator forced American Rider sepus to crash which in turn caused other Riders to crash 
behind him and slowed down the scores of others in the Peloton later replays revealed that 
The Spectator looked to be taking a selfie or recording the Peloton as it passed while holding 
out a cell phone over the racetrack several Riders and teams made public appeals after the stage two 
Spectators to be more self-aware in a sport where so much can go wrong so rapidly 5. Simon Yates 
and Stefan crass crash after Simon Yates spent the night licking his wounds Stefan crass total 
energies was having the Tour de France of his life when a careless fan spoiled everything the 
careless fan was hospitalized and Yates dropped from 4th to sixth in his pursuit of the final 
Podium after the Belgian who was racing in 13th Place overall clipped him while leaning into the 
racecourse on Saturday cross took to Twitter to say when a spectator steps up more than one 
meter up the road and doesn’t move when the Peloton arrives then you better stay home you 
have no respect for the Riders I hope you feel really guilty I have to leave the tour Because 
of You 4. Giuseppe garini 1999 Tour de France a teenager blocked Giuseppe garini during the 1999 
Tour de France as he rode toward an assured solo victory at the abdues ski station as the Finish 
Line came into view a spectator entered garini’s path to capture a picture before being struck by 
the rider unsurprisingly guerini crashed to the ground before swiftly mounting and completed 
the day with his first Tour stage under his belt 3. Wilfried Nelson police crash 1994. in 
1994 Wilfried Nelson struck a police officer when he slammed into a French police officer 
at full speed during the 1994 Tour de France Wilfried Nellison caused a terrible Collision 
police officers were stationed alongside the barriers on the finishing straight at intervals 
of around 100 meters throughout that Year’s tour as the race rushed up for the Sprint finish 
it appeared as though the police might have been taking a picture Nelson was running along 
the barricades when he slammed into the officer knocking lohong yalaber to the ground and 
bloodying his nose in the process too the dogs are on the loose it’s nothing new for dogs 
to cause accidents at the tour numerous times throughout the years a dog off its leash has 
caused chaos in the tour Peloton one of the more striking instances involved Marcus burghard 
in the 2007 tour whose carbon wheel completely bent due to the crash the 2022 tour’s first day 
yellow Jersey winner from the previous year eve Lampe later crashed at age 12 when a dog escaped 
its leash the Belgian on sudal quickstep yelled please keep your dog at home hilarious right 1. 
Eddie Merricks sucker punched by a fan on July 11 1975 Belgian cyclist Eddie Merks made it to poor 
de Dom’s Finish Line Marx said that 150 meters before the Finish Line he was sucker punched by a 
spectator during the Prudhomme stage in 1975 when Eddie Marx and Bernard pebene got into a legendary 
altercation Eddie Merricks was infamously hit in the gut Eddie Marx changed into his multeni team 
tracksuit in the locker area he afterwards walked with policemen as they descended the slope he 
believed that if he saw his attacker he might be able to identify him it wasn’t difficult the 
man was mobbed by vigilante fans who prevented him from fleeing Marx had a clear view of him 
at the moment of the attack and he could now confirm that the man wearing the beige jacket 
and white shirt was in fact him he didn’t have the appearance of a thug or a young hooligan 
caught up in the anti-merks sentiment that was pervasive in France he was a man of middle age
