Incredible scenes on the twelfth leg of the Vuelta. A policeman pushes a fan in front of a motorcycle - another spectator pokes a pro from the wheel.
Wild scenes at the Vuelta in Spain: In addition to the two crashes of the overall leader Christopher Froome, two situations with spectators on the twelfth stage ensured a good start.
In the first scene two cameras from different perspectives started what happened. On television, it can be seen how a fan, who fires the passing Alberto Contador, stumbles against a neutral companion motorcycle. The motorbike empties, gets into the sled and crashes.

But the scene was much more explosive, as the video of the Spanish journalist Laura Meseguer shows. The fan did not stumble, but was pushed by a policeman in front of the motorcycle, then the policeman ran towards the Vuelta fan. What happened then can not be seen on the video.
The use of the policeman was overpowered, but the security forces along the route are necessary.

In another situation, a viewer Maxim Belkov came across the bike from the last climb. The Russian fell over the side limit and started a call after the race on Twitter to see if someone filmed the scene.
