Spectator with cardboard sign knocks down Tour de France cyclists

Yesterday the most important cycling race of the year has started, Tour France. And this edition didn’t start so well, because there was a big crash. A spectator stood on the road with a cardboard sign and did not move. Cyclist Tony Martin fell over the woman with the sign and dozens of other riders also fell. For a cyclist, the Tour is already over because of this crash and many other riders have bruises, scrapes and torn clothing. Cycling will take place in the Tour de France until July 18, so hopefully no more people with signs close to the side of the road.
