Scandalous scenes occurred during the 15th stage of the famous cycling race Tour de France. Fans cheering for the cyclists appeared between the service cars, and one of them decided to show his buttocks to the camera.

In France, the 110th edition of one of the most famous classic cycling races—the Tour de France—is underway. The 15th stage, which covered 198 kilometres and took place on the route between Loudenvielle and the Plateau de Beille, is behind us.

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 behaviour of some fans on the race route.

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

In the first instance, one of the fans decides to dash madly after the TV broadcast team's scooter. After a moment, another viewer kicks the man, which could have resulted in a loss of balance and a fall under the wheels of one of the vehicles serving the cyclists.

Commentators outraged. They did not mince words

After a moment, 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' behaviour.
