As noted in the photo, european bicycle race fans can get over the top when it comes to their favorite or their un-favorites! Back in the day when Bernard Hinault was winning the Giro in Italy just ahead of an Italian rider, the fans on a climb started hitting him and trying to stick things in the spokes of his front wheel! His team car zoomed in front and opened the doors on both sides hitting dozens of spectators and sending them flying! On the next stage no one tried that again!
