Whacky Spectators at the Tour de France

[RedheadDane]

Covering over 3,000 KM, the Tour is bound to attract some very whacky behaviour from spectators.

In this poll you simply select all examples of whacky spectator behaviour you think will happen during the three weeks of the Tour.

Bingo Card

NAKED BUTTS!	People in pools by the roadside	Dressing up in weird customes
Riding bikes suspended in mid-air	Taking selfies with their back to the race	Carrying strange items

Hard to beat this for wacky/cool-combo:

 

[Rackham]

The Dinosaur suit guys should rank highly on the list. The issue is they're standing there in 30+ degrees wearing a full rubber suit just to be seen by the cameras and riders when they pass by. That takes a certain level of commitment to wackiness.

 

[Wyndbrook]

Well as long as it's not those donks with antlers , that I believe originated at the Tour of California and then migrated to France.

 

[Potomac]

All the above.

How can any voter not tick every box.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

Hopefully topcat running alongside the riders on col de la loze shirtless whilst carrying an inflatable shark

I added a bingo card, though replacing the "something else entirely" option with "carrying strange items". Let's see how quickly it gets filled in.




(I'm heading to Iceland for 10 days Tuesday, so not sure how much I'll be able to watch...)

Well we had Obelix at the Dauphine.

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Well we had Obelix at the Dauphine.

And we'll have an obelisk on the Place de la Concorde.

I enjoy all of the options on the bingo card as long as they don't interfere with the race!

The devil jumping up & down.

Some dude dressed as a doctor chasing Pogacar with an inflatable syringe.

some idiot with a sign.

The Borat fanclub

cycling influencers on a freebie who don't know their Pogacars from their margaret thatchers, insist upon telling us how amazing the race of france is.

In a world full of whacky spectators, be the antler man

The devil jumping up & down.

He's 73: one of these years the jumping is going to be markedly less energetic...

Ah Didi, I remember watching one of the stages of the Tour in '98 when my father told me to look out for the devil on the side of the road, I was so excited when I saw him lol.

 

[Avoriaz]

The guy with the stuffed fox

 

[RedheadDane]

I clearly forgot to add "Orchestra" to the poll...

 

[valentius borealis]

Spotto Pikachu!

 

[valentius borealis]

and now an alien

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, just to be clear; the "BARE BUTTS!" entry was specifically for spectators.
