While Jonas Abrahamsen and Mauro Schmid were sprinting in burning red numbers for their first Tour de France victory – a prestigious milestone in career of both riders, one person tried to steal the attention of race cameras.
A man jumped over the barriers with 100 meters to go and started running after the two riders with political slogans on his undershirt.
Luckily, a bystanding organizer acted fast and apprehended the man before causing any harm. According to Reuters journalist Julien Prétot, the man has been arrested and is likely to face a hefty fine alongside some a couple hours of community work at the very least.
