An oblivious fan seemingly trying to take a selfie caused a massive crash at the Tour de France on Sunday, wiping out over a dozen riders!
Thankfully, none of the cyclists appeared to suffer serious injury -- just bumps and bruises.
Sepp talked to Cycling News about the accident, saying ..."There was a spectator leaning into the road, I guess. It just happened suddenly, and that’s part of the Tour, there are a lot of people. Ideally, that wouldn’t happen, but it’s the biggest bike race in the world and a lot of people don’t know exactly what’s going on."The U.S. rider added ..."unfortunately, somebody wanted to get a selfie. I didn’t really see it coming.
After the stage, which Wout Poels won, a number of different riders and teams cautioned fans ... don't interfere. "I’d like to tell the spectators to enjoy the race and be there to cheer for us without standing on the road or pouring beers on us,"“Please be careful, so that the party remains a party for the racers but equally for you. You don’t need a phone to create mind-blowing memories,” Team Confidis tweeted.
