On the 14th stage in the Pyrenees there is an incident on the street. The situation can be clearly seen on TV pictures. Once again, a person from the audience is involved. The tour jury acts promptly.
But at the race on Saturday there was also a big moment of fright away from the bike stars. The focus: an accompanying vehicle of the Ineos Grenadier team-and a person on the edge of the route. Now it is clear: The jury of the Tour of France has occupied the team responsible for the team for the incident with a fine of CHF 5,000-around CHF 5,360-and a yellow card.
What happened? 14. Stage in the Pyrenees, 32.6 kilometers before the target of the section from Pau to Superbagnères on the Tourmalet. A good 200 meters before the climax of the climb at Col de Payeresourde. In TV pictures you can see how the Red Skoda of the Ineos team drives slowly before a person suddenly appears in front of the vehicle in a green top. And by the car – at least not at full speed. The person then bounces down.
It can be seen that numerous other spectators are on the track and therefore take a great risk.
In the communication of the tour organizers, it was now said that the incident was incorrect behavior that endangered the audience. There is no more known about the health of the person.
