The 111th edition of the Tour de France, one of the most famous classic cycling races, is underway in France. The 15th stage, which was 123 miles long, took place between Loudenvielle and Plateau de Bielle.

This section's winner was Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, who strengthened his lead in the overall race classification. However, this stage will also be remembered for the scandalous behavior of some fans present on the race route.

These situations were made public in a video released by the Polish branch of the Eurosport channel. The video showcased two outrageous incidents.

In the first instance, one of the fans decided to dash after the scooter of the TV broadcast team madly. Moments later, the man was kicked by another viewer, which could have resulted in a loss of balance and falling under the wheels of one of the vehicles servicing the cyclists.

Commentators outraged. They did not mince words

Shortly after, another outrageous situation occurred. One of the fans standing by the road decided to pull down his pants and show his bare buttocks to the camera. The fans' antics quickly drew reactions from the Polish commentators, who harshly criticized the viewers' behavior.

Someone is showing their b*tt - no, seriously, hands down. Stand in front of a mirror, show it to yourself, take a selfie, post it on Facebook, that's enough - you don't need to show it on television. (...) Crazy people, stupid people are everywhere in the world.
