Belgian cyclist Yves Lampaert crashed violently due to an overzealous spectator.
The one-day classic Paris-Roubaix road cycling, trampled in France on Sunday, took a dramatic turn seven kilometers before the finish line, when Lampaert, who fought for the top spot, crashed with the spectator.
The video reveals the viewer pushed his hand far too far to the side of the track as he clapped. A Belgian cyclist who was looking for an optimal driving line hit his outstretched arms, swung violently and after a while swung violently on his back
Despite the pain, Lampaert continued his journey for a moment. He was tenth in the finish, but it didn’t understandably warm his mind.
In a post-race interview, Lampaert barked at the spectator who overthrew him. Lampaert later withdrew his remarks on Twitter, but opinion did not change.
– Maybe I shouldn’t have called the viewer a calf, but he was still on the road. May this be a lesson to all. When you see cyclists coming Dodge.
Spectator crashes have made headlines in road cycling recently.
The most famous incident was seen last year around France, when a female viewer waving a sign at a TV camera scampered dozens of cyclists.
The viewer was even searched by the police before he reported himself to the authorities. He was fined € 1,200. He also had to pay the French professional cyclists’ association CPA a symbolic allowance of one euro.
Pedal to win the race Dylan Van Baarle. At least the crash in the back didn’t make it harder for him to break free.
