Stuffed fox (c) Velocast.jpegFans left baffled by taxidermy appearance at Giro
The Giro d’Italia was interrupted yesterday - by an ornamental stuffed fox wearing a pink scarf.
As the stage neared the summit of Monte Grappa in the Veneto, a man popped out of the crowd brandishing his taxidermy.

It’s the second known appearance of the fox, who made an appearance at the Giro in 2014.
Cycling fans were left baffled by the sight.
“Darling, I’m off to Monte Grappa to watch the Giro”
“Have you got your stuffed fox on a plinth?”
“Oh, thanks for the reminder!” pic.twitter.com/AzEILNKjoP

Think he would look more at home in the tweed run.
No, the bull run...
Why give silly ass publicity seekers who turn up at bike races publicity?
Er, I thought the silly parties by the roadside were the whole point of the big race calendar events. Lighten up, they add amusement.
It's very easily explained. They have pillocks in Italy too!
Renard strikes again!
