In professional cycling, fans are increasingly encouraged to respect the riders, but that memo did not reach a pair of spectators at the Giro d’Italia, who looked to kick and push the riders on Thursday.
In extraordinary and alarming scenes, the two men looked like they were about to knock riders off their bikes, though thankfully there were no crashes.
Respect the riders. Respect the race. Respect the #GirodItalia🫶 Fans, Tifosi. We love you on the roadside. We love your enthusiasm, we love that you cheer on the riders, we love that you dress like flamingos.❌ But there’s a line not to cross. Don’t be like this guy. pic.twitter.com/iO7wJNkUOaMay 14, 2026
