Tour de France fan hurls annoying doofus like a ragdoll

James Dator
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

It’s a rainy Stage 20 at the Tour de France and one sensible fan helped ensure it went off without a hitch.

This short video shows a fan wearing a cape wandering around the track and almost colliding with the riders. It could have been really bad if not for a second fan who had the wherewithal to pull him out of the road and avoid a collision.

They’re like the Goofus and Gallant of sports fans.

Goofus almost gets his cape caught in bicycle spokes.

Gallant makes sure the race is still safe.

-

Goofus doesn’t think about those around him.

Gallant keeps his head on a swivel.

-

Goofus dresses like a hero.

Gallant is a hero.
