Before his audacious attack on the descent of the Col de Peyresourde Froome lashed out at a spectator who is running too close to the peloton on the ascent, and the incident🌞 was captured by t🌼he television cameras.
He was fined 200 Swiss Fra𓆉ncs by the race officials🍎 for 'incorrect behaviour'.
Froome defe💟nded his actions in the post-stage press conference and sent out a plea to the spectators to stay clear of the moving peloton.
"Nothing against the Colombian🦩 fans, I think they’re fantastic and bring a great atmosphere to the race. But this gu🦂y in particular was running right next to my handlebars that had a flag that was flying behind him. It was just getting dangerous, so I pushed him away, I lashed out and pushed him away."
"It’s fantastic having so many fans out on the out🌠e but please, please, I urge the fans: don’t try and run with the riders. It’s get really dangerous for the guys behind."
