In the Alps the Tour de France to the tour de fall!
Second stage, second mass crash in the high mountains! On Sunday on the 15th stage to Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc, 20 riders fell because a spectator stepped onto the road and brought down the American Sepp Kuss (28). The result was a domino effect.

But in contrast to the day before, everything went off lightly. All drivers were able to continue the stage, which was also not stopped. Kuss is an assistant to defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (26), who is also currently wearing the overall leader’s yellow jersey.
Among those who fell were the 2019 Tour winner, Colombian Egan Bernal (26), and German John Degenkolb (34).
There was one on Saturday Mass crash when, six kilometers after the start in Annemasse, a driver slipped on a wet road and 30 men fell. Five had to retire as a result of the fall, two more had to drop out of the race after another crash.
The spectator with the fisherman’s hat on his head took a step onto the road and held his arm out. Against the cracked kiss. EAs was just the incredible continuation of a series of dangerous situations in the mountains.
There have already been attacks with thumbtacks in the Pyrenees. Apparently drunk spectators walked alongside the drivers for yards in Bengalos, which also emit acrid, fetid smoke.
Egan Bernal, 2019 Tour winner, was one of those who fell
Now the two violent crashes, at least the first of which was triggered by a driver. Everything else, however, is outside influence, like the scandal at the end of the stage on Saturday when two bikes with cameraman and photographer Tadej Pogacar (24) braked as second-placed leader Vingegaard attacked.
The two crews were suspended for Sunday and each had to pay a fine of 515 euros. Photographer Bernard Papon of French sports newspaper L’Équipe apologized: “I will not defend what happened. We shouldn’t be in this situation. I should have asked my driver to drive me faster and earlier.”
