Fan takes out rider at Vuelta.PNGVideo: young fan causes crash at Vuelta
A young spectator caused a rider to crash at the Vuelta yesterday as he stepped out to wave at a TV camera, just as the riders approached.
The fan had his back to the cyclists as he waved at the TV motorbike that was just ahead of them, causing IAM Cycling rider Clement Chevrier to fall of his bike.
Thankfully, other riders behind were able to avoid the fallen rider. Chevrier tweeted earlier today that he will ride the race's 21st and final stage.

The incident happened during yesterday’s Stage 20 from Benidorm to Alto di Aitana, won by AG2R-La Mondiale’s Pierre Latour.
Race leader Nairo Quintana of Movistar resisted a series of attacks by Chris Froome and leads the Team Sky rider by 1 minute 23 seconds ahead of today’s processional stage into Madrid.

“fastest, lightest, and most durable road tyres yet” Yeah right. "Strong, light, cheap. Pick two."

Surely a penalty notice will have been delivered by now, which will state where the car is parked?

A smidge of £8.5K. Seriously. Someone needs to have a strong coffee.

You'd think that cyclists would know what a fan looks like and how to avoid hitting them!
Bloody cyclists!
If you watched the race closely you'd see that the cars often couldn't get past them as they were blocking the whole road....
Now where's my Daily Mail?
Too right, bloody cyclists racing, it's disgraceful
give way to pedestrians at all times lol
Children, they are very dangerous and can attack at anytime.
I'd have gone back to make sure the fcuker stayed down.
Fan?
Didn't appear to be interested in the race; just getting his face on TV.
ouff.
leads on children and bare chested men at bike races
