A spectator with a sign posing for a camera clipped a Tour de France bicyclist, causing the rider to crash and start a massive pile-up in Stage 1 on Saturday. A fan holding a big sign for a picture wasn't watching when the oncoming rider approached among hundreds of bicyclists on a narrow part of the course. With no gate or blockage from spectators and bicyclists, the rider crashed into the sign, setting into motion a domino effect with other cyclists falling over left and right. Announcers on NBC Sports called it a "massive crash" and "royal mess." 🔗 Visit our link in bio to read the rest of the story. 📸 Daniel Cole, AP Photo
