    I think they try and keep it pretty quiet, to try to keep a lid on it 😁😁

    Fan interference is a real problem in the Tour. There have been multiple fan-caused accidents and instances of fan interference with riders, this year. They need to keep the fans off the roads.

    That is a tough task considering the distances involved.

    Should be more of it I reckon. I'd even go as far as encouraging the quarter wits.

    I don’t view the actions, and demise, of extreme athlete Remi Lucidi through the same lens I do influencers stepping back off the Grand Canyon. There is no evidence that photography played a role in his fall.

    "His Instagram posts are not for the faint-hearted, as he often shared dizzying images from the top of various skyscrapers, cranes, bridges and buildings."
    "He had a history of climbing various structures across the world without permission, including buildings, bridges, cranes and even transmitters."

    If you spend your life doing incredibly dangerous usually illegal stunts for " views & likes" on social media and fall to your death , I am afraid that is firmly in the stupid category. No matter how good you are at it, in this instance one mistake means death and who doesn't make one mistake ?

    Precisely...it's not a question of if, but more a question of when...
