Police want banning order for spectator who pushed Francesco Bongiorno on Zoncolan (+ video)

'Blimey imagine how you'd feel if someone was really disrespectful!'

See above. That *is* really disrespectful.

Should've banned him for wearing a world's champ jersey for a start. Met someone in a replica Team sky kit the other week when out on the bike. It's the thrill of thinking from a distance "Wow. Here comes a world champ. Who is it.....It must be a genuine World Champ as only a bellend would be dressed as a world champ without being one..' Then they pass - without saying hello - and they're much fatter than Tony Martin and you realise it is indeed a bell end instead.

Yellow jerseys are ok. It's a classic newbie mistake and easily forgiven but replica World and National Champ jerseys? They are for cads and bounders.

Off to lie down in a dark room now....

How hard are they looking? It's Rui Costa, from the jersey.

(Unless it's just some c*nt with no respect for people who have achieved something in their lives. That's a possibility, I guess)

What a muppet eh!? But How do they plan to enforce banning spectators!!

It obviously didn't cost him the stage. You could tell that he was about to be dropped by the much stronger Mick Rodgers anyway. I don't think it effected the result at all

They could easily solve this by simply electrifying the riders.

Apart from anything else, he needs a kicking.

His actions did make me giggle though when he realised what he'd done!

I loved it when Woult Poels grabbed that blokes sunnies and threw them into the long grass. His (spectator) face was like WTF .

Its part of the sport, so I agree that we shouldn't sanitise things by clamping down with too many rules. However, some of the so-called supporters are clearly idiots and idiots deserve to be punished. I think riders should each be issued with pepper spray on the mountain stages so that they can take out the worse offenders. Perhaps, there could be a new jersey competition for the mountain domestique who takes the most scalps, all black jersey with skull, punisher style would hit the spot.

Personally, I hate the idiots who run alongside the Pros, specially the ones who spend more time looking at the camera than the rider and are therefore weaving all over the road...that climb in particular was atrocious (I thought Mick Rodgers was going to climb off and thump a chump at one point...quite right too).

However, turning up at the roadside in a panda suit or flippers and a snorkel has to be admired.

No they shouldn't.

People should have a bit of sense and they shouldn't get too close or impede the riders but please lets not sterilise the sport.

All spectators who run along with riders should be banned.

It won't be too hard for them to get a decent shot of his face, as the moron was involved in running alongside riders again, shortly after the Bongiorno incident.
